Death Stranding PC Preview: Half-Life And Portal Content

From Central Notice Staging Wiki

Theoretically speaking, there is some range in the ideas that Kojima implemented in Death Stranding . While Death Stranding 's vehicle for introducing the "strand game" genre was mostly about delivery and movement, a true-to-core survival game could also lend itself well to the "strand" community concepts. Theoretically these kinds of elements could be implemented into a horror game as well, as team-based horror experiences like Phasmophobia or Dead by Daylight have proven to be very popular. It doesn't necessarily have to be a Death Stranding sequel, but Kojima's commitment to the "strand game" means there's more to come from Kojima Producti


Fatherhood in _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ might be a little more subtle as a theme than it was in the first game. Main character Arthur Morgan fights against time in many different ways throughout the story of the game, so it’s not particularly surprising that he doesn’t really have the chance to play the role of father in the game. Arthur actually once had a son, which he reveals through a missable side conversation in the story, but he and his mother were murdered in a robbery before the events of _ RDR


Aside from the game’s stellar performance, Kojima Productions actually added new content into Death Stranding’s PC version in the form of new side quests in reference to the classic Valve franchises Half-Life and deathstranding2World.com Portal . These quests become available around Episode 2, which is pretty early in Death Stranding’s campaign. These quests are definitely an exciting addition for PC players as they reward different cosmetics from and based upon the Valve franchises; for an example, look no further than the above screenshot that shows a Half-Life skinned vehicle. I’ve haven’t completed all of the Valve quests yet, but I can tell you that in the first mission I hauled a heavy Portal Companion Cube back to a delivery terminal and was rewarded with an awesome pair of Gordon Freeman glasses to make Sam look a little more scienti

With 2021 bringing more PlayStation games and photo modes to use for screenshots, the next Share of the Year should be just as exciting as this one. From God of War ’s sequel to Horizon Forbidden West , PlayStation fans should have plenty of opportunities to blow their fellow gamers away with their in-game photography ski


It's an interesting conceptual design that does genuinely make Death Stranding different from many singleplayer and survival-style games. However, Kojima's comments on the "strand game" genre mentioned sequels , some that may not necessarily be exactly like Death Stranding . In an interview with GameSpot, after being asked about the future of Death Stranding , he stated a new genre of games isn't defined by just one gameplay experie


Death Stranding’s controls also map really well onto the mouse and keyboard. Every keybind feels intuitive and those who prefer a controller can still easily plug one in and enjoy the game that way. The mouse and keyboard controls even include some quality of life changes that PS4 players would’ve loved; for example, you can now skip cutscenes and any short animations like Sam’s frequent showers without entering any menus. My only real complaint thus far is a small one; the loading screen when first launching the game up takes about 90 seconds. However, all other loading screens are pretty short, so you only have to sit through that load once per sitt

Additionally, Death Stranding's Digital Deluxe Edition is also on sale and is currently priced at $39.99 from $79.99. This special edition of the game includes tons of bonuses such as the Gold "Ludens Mask" Sunglasses, a Gold Power Skeleton, a Gold All-Terrain Skeleton, and a Gold Armor Plate (Level 2), and The Death Stranding: Timefall digital music album/behind-the-scenes digital vi


Dutch was the leader of their gang, so he sort of served as the overarching father figure for everyone in the crew, especially Arthur who was his right hand man up until Micah nefariously replaced him. Arthur’s conflict , both with Dutch and himself, throughout the game has a few similarities to a "normal" father-son relationship. In _ RDR 2, _ when Dutch continually puts Arthur’s ideas down and constantly questions his loyalty, it starts to make Arthur doubt not only Dutch but also hims


Another great image sees Dande_Lion55 having a quiet moment in Ghost of Tsushima ’s beautiful world . Jin Sakai can be seen resting with one of the game’s foxes, the delightful creatures that guide players to special charms. Instead of using the fox to get an item, though, the in-game photographer kneels by its side. With the light coming through the tree branches that rest above the pairing, and every detail on both the Fox’s fur and Jin’s outfit standing out, the eye-catching screenshot is amaz
