Stayed up to play the intro. Impressed so far! The graphics are really impressive.

Other than MHK I may be the biggest Death Stranding fanboy

Watched the Digital Foundry video.

That shit looks pretty good overall! Lighting is ok, flat in many cases and not really convincing, missing self shadows, but the rest is really strong. Great textures, terrain, draw distance, image quality (outside of PS5 Amateur Performance mode), nice characters. In general a ton of details and elements that show how much effort went into this, with all the neat cloth physics and animations.

Hitting a super stable 60fps is awesome on Pro, Amateur seems like 30fps is the best option because of the image quality.

This made me think of Witcher 4. Because with DS2, the devs hit a great balance. Only lighting and shadows are lacking, but the consoles weren't designed with RT in mind, so it's too expensive in many cases. I think they made the right choices for this game. Really curious how Witcher 4 will compare. Going with RT lighting, latest UE5 features, targeting 60fps as well. Something will have to give I'd imagine.

Decima is an awesome engine!

Oh and after watching that video.... Hell naw I'm not going to touch this, fucking lol that shit is too Kojima for me. The pretentious direction kills me.

Kojima way overrated. That said, I will buy this when it hits the bargain bin.

Why is he overrated?

 

[Kvally]

Why is he overrated?

My opinion. His games aren't as good as he (or others) makes them out to be. That said, I have no will power and just bought the game.

 

[regawdless]

Mhm

Oh damn, I nearly missed that Xbox won

"Flat lighting"

@regawdless posted one of the most biased, unhinged post I've ever seen since that 129-Day Journey Post back in April

Ayo, @regawdless, don't ever comment about Kojima again

Calling his direction "pretentious camera work" just tells me you're like those typical NeoF@9s that never stop hating on the Great One

Keep on Keeping On, Bitch

where were you when nintendo is the death stranding?
i was at home when computer ping... "death stranding is nintendork"
shook to the core!!!

He's trying to fuck a colleague

 

[kiNeMs]

Remember the gaf thread on mgs5, where gaf worked out the phantom pain, and that doctor that did head transplants was the same doctor in the beginning of the game. Fuck I miss that. Whoever it was that worked out the logo, had metal gear solid 5 hidden it.
MHK, take me back.

 

[J-Roderton]

Really hyped for it. I'm trying to hold off on watching much since I'll be waiting for PC version.

 

[Kvally]

Played for a couple hours last night. It's pretty good. It's more of the same from the first one.

 

[rofif]

SHIPPED
will be here tomorrow for release!

This 2 days early deluxe + streamers even day earlier fucking sucked. I dont like that

 

[Kvally]

This 2 days early deluxe fucking sucked. I dont like that

I do!

 

[HellforLeather]

I dont think this game is for me but I do appreciate the topographically realistic environments. That's one thing that really takes me out of games is when their worlds feel too gamey like the FarCry games.

this looks legit though.

 

[ExpandKong]

Installed the first one on my pc to finally give it a shake, are there any mods to give Norman fetus some big ass titties

 

[Yawnson]

Fuck, I hate you all, I haven't even played the first one and now I'm getting the second

 

[DragonsBen]

Can't wait to play this but I will unfortunately have to wait for the PC/Xbox release. I hope the soundtrack is as good as the first game, some of those early moments as you are mid delivery when something amazing kicked in hit like crack

 

[VFX_Veteran]

How is it guys?

 

[VFX_Veteran]

Per the DF video, one of the best looking games to date, and no raytracing path tracing whatever crap in sight.

Other devs are ripping you off.

That means it's last-gen tech.

Have you seen the release date trailer ? the music is going to be another masterpiece judging from the song played there.

[Zeta Dragoon]

This. Art direction trumps pure bleeding edge graphics, though combined both can excel. Few games actually manage both without compromise. Death Stranding 2 does look absolutely insane.

I'll maintain Wind Waker, Okami, Tales of Vesperia still look as amazing today as when they came out due to their art direction.

 

[Spiders]

Journos really got their thesauruses out for that blow bang!

I got into the first one for a minute but when I was away from it for a few days I had no desire to pick it back up. I get it though.

I know this game has a lot of fans around here. Hope you guys enjoy it!!!

 

[Yawnson]

Being a dad makes this game hit hard so far

Thanks for the recommendation, I'm even more hyped now. The trailer was stunning. I'm happy we are getting more tracks from Low Roar also based off the credits, his music was incredible in the first game. I only recently discovered he passed away a few years after DS 1 was released.
