Taylor Bauer — Wed, 12 Feb 2025 16:00:14 +0000

Few creatives (regardless of the medium) are as renowned and subversive as Hideo Kojima. The Metal Gear Solid mastermind truly capitalized on an already impressive career with the release of Death Stranding, and with a sequel on the way, fans are eager to learn whatever they can about the new project. Exclusive to PS5, the game is still largely shrouded in secrecy, but a SXSW panel next month will…

Death Stranding Is Free On Epic

Monday, I spoke about Eurovision and maybe something about Doctor Who specials getting their titles. Tuesday, mech warfare continues as Hawken Reborn returned to PC recently. Wednesday, the second wave of Game Pass was unveiled for May, To the Rescue made its way to the kingdom (or platform) for which Zelda has some tears, and Genshin Impact updated to round out a fairly dry news week ahead of…

Death Stranding Movie Announced

Taylor Bauer — Mon, 19 Dec 2022 16:00:49 +0000

We’re very familiar with post-apocalyptic stories at this point. For decades, the downfall of humanity or the United States has been a central tenant of countless sci-fi and fantasy movies, books, and TV shows. One of the most notable explorations of these tropes in gaming has been Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding. With a sequel on the way, it looks like we’ll be getting even more from the Stranding…

Death Stranding Director’s Cut Coming to PC Soon

Alexx Aplin — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 16:00:15 +0000

I think we can all agree that console exclusives coming to PC can only be a good thing. Death Stranding is already available on PC, but it seems as though it will be getting the same treatment as console players. That’s right, Death Stranding’s Director’s Cut will be releasing on PC in 2022. Specifically, thanks to an announcement at CES 2022, 505 Games announced that Death Stranding Director’s…

Kojima Doesn’t Like “Director’s Cut” Title

Keiran McEwen — Wed, 14 Jul 2021 14:00:11 +0000

Yeah, Hideo, neither do I. I played your game, and if it wasn’t the Director’s Cut already, I have to ask, who was your editor? The phrase “Give ’em an inch, they’ll take a mile” has almost never been applicable outside the microtransaction ladened tripe that 2K, EA, and Activision will roll out year on year, but with you it does fit. I have the special cardboard sleeved edition of the game which…

Death Stranding (PS4) – Review

Keiran McEwen — Fri, 15 Nov 2019 20:00:03 +0000

Well, giving this game a score is a headache in itself, nevermind writing something up to back up that score. Experimental is the easiest way of explaining it; Death Stranding is the first game Hideo Kojima has been allowed to do anything he wanted in, and it shows. The common phrase around Kojima is that he needs an editor, and now without Konami, we see what he’s truly like without one.

Kojima To Venture Into Movies In Future

Keiran McEwen — Tue, 05 Nov 2019 14:00:19 +0000

Let’s be very honest: I thought I’d be writing this about David Cage before I said it about Kojima, I make enough jokes about it in the first place. The studio headed by weird and wonderful Hideo Kojima recently released their Norman Reedus walking simulator; to some, it is the second coming of Metal Gear Solid, but for others, it lands in the toilet bowl. One of the largest media talking points…

Death Stranding Coming to PC Early This Summer

Jaydyn Spisak — Wed, 30 Oct 2019 14:00:02 +0000

Death Stranding, the newest and highly anticipated new IP by video game legend Hideo Kojima (creator of the Metal Gear Solid series), is now set to arrive on PCs in the early summer months of 2020. Kojima was first sought out by Sony after his rather unusual departure from Konami. In a press release made by 505 games CEO Raffi Galante he stated that “We are extremely excited and honored to be…

MGS V: The Phantom Pain (XBO) – Review

(WARNING: The following review contains spoilers for the game being reviewed. It goes without saying; if you do not want spoilers this may not be the review for you.) Metal Gear Solid, Hideo Kojima’s masterpiece and the thing that propelled him into the cult-like status in the minds of the disillusioned youth of the early to mid-2000s. We were all a bit weird back then, otherwise…

Death Stranding ‘Very Easy’ Mode is Genius

Taylor Bauer — Fri, 06 Sep 2019 16:00:29 +0000

There are some games that you want to experience just as much as you want to play them. Some argue it’s all one and the same for the medium. On the other hand, getting caught up on difficult levels can take you out of the story a bit. Kojima’s recent announcement that Death Stranding will have a Very Easy mode for players who just want to enjoy the story is absolutely genius, and here’s why.
