    I watched the Giant Bomb watchalong for the one hour gameplay trailer. Despite being a Kojima fan I'm not sold on this at all. I was progressively laughing out loud as the footage went on, much of it looked really frustrating to actually play and just too weird, even for Kojima. Very interested in how this reviews as want to be proven wrong.

    I doubt Death Stranding will appeal to gamer's searching for a first-person shooter. The game's focus appears to be aimed more towards man vs landscape with battles kept to a minimum. Sam's metal cases can be used as weapons, swung at enemies to shake them off. Vehicles can be used to make getaways.

    Please let there be duration info available on the cutscenes. When I watch a film or TV show, I know how long it is, I know when it'll finish, I know if I have the time to watch it.

    Of course, it's not really necessary if the scenes are 2 mins long but if it's going to be 10-15+ mins then I'll sit there with a coffee in my hands instead of twiddling my thumbs on a controller.

    Think you'd be best off preparing a Thermos, perhaps a blanket.

    @JamesUK Even at Konami, Kojima managed 2-hour cutscenes in MGS4. Now that the level of editorial control seems to have been stripped back a lot, I think you can probably figure 6 hours or so for the minor mid-mission scenes. For the big chapter-transitions, I'm thinking "weeks" rather than "days" or "hours".

    Though in fairness, Kingdom Hearts 3 has cutscenes that go well over an hour, so Kojima is not quite alone.

    The balance was a lot better in MGS5 so, hopefully, it won't be the interactive CGI movie it looks like.

    I dunno... If I was cutting a trailer, the mocap stuff is where the money is but, as someone who likes to actually play games, I am worried the cut scene to gameplay ratio is going to be the same as on show here.

    It feels a bit like Schroedinger's game at the moment. I really can't tell if it's going to be the best or worst thing ever.

    I mean... what the fuck are those portable babies about?

    Well we find out tomorrow, early review embargo so you’d have to think Sony are pretty confident.

    Part of the enjoyment for me with Metal Gear was playing as the various Snake's, so I could look over some of the mental shit that was going on. I'm not convinced by the gameplay and trailers that the main character looks very.. interesting? It's just Norman Reedus.

    @nickthegun I suspect the balance was better in MGS5 because the production fell apart and Konami insisted that Kojima just got something - anything - out the door.

    If you can't handle kojima at his worst, you don't deserve him at his best.

    I think that's why it just kind of ended but the overall structure itself was fine and seemingly as intended.
