Kal-El814 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I should finish the first one. I think I got close. But the bosses were just… not interesting or fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I'm sure Kojima will find a way, but not sure how they're making a sequel given the ending of the first one - definitely super interested though, loved Death Stranding.

stepee Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I keep hearing that about the ending so pls nobody spoilz it because if I decide to fully give up on playing through it I think I’ll just watch the story as a movie and then maybe try this one.

I'm curious to see if this is going to lean more into the combat mechanics. I don't put it past a Kojima game to take a hard 90 degree turn in any capacity and the mood and colors of the trailer footage is a lot more "shit is fucked, we have to fight" to me. Wonder if we're knee-deep in one of the extinction events in this one, kind of like Mad Max --> Road Warrior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the ending was pretty definitive I felt. I also wouldn't hold it past Kojima to completely change the combat - I doubt this will be a fetch quest delivery sim, I agree with you there.

I mean I can't be sure but I bet it's a straight sequel. Despite the ending, I honestly think you can take this anywhere. It's literally a completely different world that isn't bound by any real world logic and so on imo. I listened to a Kojima interview last night and he said exactly what I wanted to hear really. He was talking about how when coming up with a new IP, it's mandatory to get the basics right, get the basic gameplay dialed in but already know how you want to expand on that with your sequel, to design with that in mind. He also mentioned he had a million more ideas for the gameplay in the first one but considering the time, it wasn't feasible and he's been working on those gameplay ideas ever since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i’m interested in gameplay changes/additions that might make me get into this one more! And the next gen decima engine in general. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are labeling it as a sequel but it's actually a prequel because the trailer shows everyone before the shit hit the fan so to speak.

Yeah, I mean Bloodporne is right that you can basically make anything but you can't detract from the earned ending of the first game either. And yeah that's why I was confused too, since it's got all the characters in there, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodporne Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I'm up for anything in that universe quite frankly. The actual story is, yeah, I get the criticisms but the LORE is fantastic and incredibly compelling to me. I love all the emails he threw in there going into dinosaurs, fossils. People can call it nonsense all they want, it's just fun storytelling to me and it works. I think it's great to see a AAA game that gives zero shits about being grounded, believable and realistic but instead goes all in on things we used to take for granted during the PS2 era or whatever. I had a lot of respect for DS in terms of being videogame-as-fuck in that regard despite incorporating actors and all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer.tv Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I’d be keen if it offers a bit more diversity in mission content, improved boss encounters…yeah, that would so me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
