Having made something of an impact at E3 2018 (in a way),
we still can't make head nor tail as to what Death Stranding is all about. But according to director Hideo Kojima, we don't necessarily need to know what his next game is exactly, and as such, Death Stranding is likely to remain an enigma for some time yet.
"We live in a time of social networks. In this time, people just want immediate answers, but not only answers, they also want to know what they feel," Kojima commented in an interview with
Variety (via
VG). "This is good, this is bad. This is a game I should like. This is a game I shouldn’t like. They want answers for what they should think."
Kojima likens this to a mathematical problem "where knowing the answer is not that important," he says. "The important thing is the process of getting to the answer." He also mentioned that "the aim of the game is for the player to use ropes. I am making the game in such a way that this comes natural to the player, this alternative, of using ropes." We're not sure what this means either. Answers on a postcard, please.
While Koj hasn't been entirely tight-lipped regarding Death Stranding, revealing that
the goal will be to 'reconnect the world', we're still unsure as to what the game will actually entail. Chances are we won't really know until we actually play it, and in this day and age, that might just be something of a novelty, to go into Death Stranding almost completely cold.
Death Stranding will be coming to PlayStation 4, and a release date still has yet to be announced.
Mesmo sem saber ainda ao certo o que é, comecei a ter expectativa!
