Those expecting a full Death Stranding gameplay blowout during the Gamescom 2019 Opening Night Live show were left somewhat disappointed. Although we did get to see six uncut minutes of gameplay, it still didn't answer many burning questions. How much combat is there? What's combat like? How is the story structured? Is the world truly open? Is there any kind of character progression? How do the multiplayer components work? Death Stranding is only a few months away, and these are all queries that are yet to be properly answered.
Fortunately for those dying to know more, it sounds like director Hideo Kojima has something up his sleeve. He's announced on Twitter that an "exclusive" trailer titled "Briefing" will be shown at Sony's Gamescom booth this week. "It explains what Sam (the player) will be doing in the game and I think you’ll understand the more concrete purpose of the game," writes Kojima.
When the trailer's eventually posted online, we should hopefully know a lot more about Death Stranding's gameplay loop. Unless this is just Kojima trolling us again. Which, to be fair, is entirely possible.

Can't wait until the game releases, and after the first hour as Sam we spend the rest of it playing as Raiden.
B-but.. if we see gameplay and explanation of what the game is then what will gamers have to complain about?
I wanna piss on geoff....
When the musics over...................
What a strange use of the term "exclusive". What else would it be?
Kojima confirm on stage that he was going to show a in-depth look of gameplay at TGS in a few weeks.
I remember being assaulted by a knob, whose name I don't remember, on this very site for asking what type of game it is.
The more forced teasing without real details, the more I lose interest in this game.
I get that he’s Kojima and all, but this is getting ridiculous.
It was intriguing up until a couple of trailers ago, now it just looks like a lunatic’s fever dream without any rhyme or reason.
Hope I’m wrong though.
@Rhaoulos sounds like something i'd have done
How often does your character have to pee in the game to prevent bladder infection?
The fact your asking "what's combat like" is worrying, I'd actually be happy if the game didn't have any tbh, not every game needs it.
explained it here - https://gametransfers.com/death-stranding-briefing-trailer-explained/ but without video of course...
the briefing was just story trailer explaining why amelie dont age and been kidnapped, and ur job is to connect cities all over the u.s. after a cataclysmic event
Koj mate, you lost my respect when you dropped David 'Snake' Hayter for Jack Bauer.
He needs to show something like what the article suggest, people are talking about the game, but not in a good way. Not sure how long he can troll us until people write it off before its out.
You travel across America opening up communication points to reconnect society. You'll likely have to deliver cargo in order to get better traversal equipment. If you die you'll go to the underworld to recover lost resources.
Is that a good enough explanation for you lot? Or do you want the source code as well?
Death Stranding could have the greatest plot in the history of video games but from all the gameplay shown off so far, I think it looks a bit s**t.
I suppose I'll still play the game - day one, regardless. On a side, I also get the feeling the "real" NFS is slowly coming back to me in the form of "NFS: Heat", can't wait! - I guess.
