@Kidfried I still havenāt got round to playing it either but Iāll be interested to see whether itās a free upgrade, equivalent price re-release, or priced as a new game..
@Kidfried@Thrillho@nessisonett I absolutely loved Death Stranding so would totally recommend starting / finishing it when this is released. There's some really interesting mechanics in the game and for me it's just the way that the music blends into it making it a totally unique experience. It will be interesting to see how much the game changes between the base version and the directors cut and if it's just the story that changes or some of the actual gameplay.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Yes, I am really excited to hear more about it. I really need to see what sort of additions are going to be present before I commit to an immediate replay. As you know Iām not typically one to replay games, but Iām thrilled to know that the day I do decide to hike through a post-apocalyptic world with Kojima that itāll be in glorious 4K, ray traced, etc, etc and hopefully have meaningful new content. I do have slightly mixed feelings about directors cuts of great pieces because there is always the chance that it actually makes the story worse. I loved Death Stranding for what it was, and Iām not sure what it really needed. It would be nice to have supplemental content that doesnāt mess with the narrative or the quirky way that the story unravels. But above all, Iām pleased with the fact that the game will get a little more traction and attention for those who missed it on PS4.

I've kept an eye on it since it first announced @Kidfried but I never quite wanted to pull the trigger on it (Probably in part due to me not quite gelling with MGS 4 or 5 and me a smidge aprehensive).
It was only after Sol's praise that I've always thought "@Th3solution REALLY really liked this... I should give it a chance" whenever I've seen it online.
Quite luckily I hadn't picked it up yet though for this to be announced so I can play a definitive edition of it. Hopefully it has a PS4 to PS5 upgrade path for everyone whom already has it though.
... Just it'll be an even longer wait of me actually getting round to it and picking it up now as I still need to get a PS5 to play it on... So 2023 it is. š
As said above the @Th3solution to kid I've unfortunately been distracted by other games to purchase everytime I've seen it but your praise has been always been on my mind regarding it... So your praise strewn throughout the forums didn't fall on deaf ears Sol! š
Hopefully there's a lot of neat new additions that don't distract too much from a game you wholeheartedly enjoyed.
Maybe the "director's cut" is simply some stuff that the PS4 couldn't do? Dunno what that'd be though... Perhaps the flying mounts that Horizon was supposed to have ha ha

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Iām glad my praise didnāt die silently out there in the ether, although it makes me a little uncomfortable just in case the game bombs with you. Depending on which aspects of MGS 4 and 5 dissuaded you, it might end the same with Death Stranding. But I doubt it will crash as hard since you have no preexisting experience with the world to compare it to. Iāll be keeping my eye out for whatever announcements drop about the directors cut. The promo certainly had a MGS vibe to it with the cardboard box and stealth room set up displayed. I could see maybe including some supplemental Mule enemy camps like that to explore, but honestly, the human encounters were some of the least interesting parts to the game. Perhaps this is Kojimaās attempt to make them more interesting by āSnake-ifyingā Sam Porter Bridges. š
@Th3solution Yeah I'm more interested in what the trailer means for MGS going forward. I'm hoping it means kojima saying to Bluepoint to handle the remake with care. Or it could be kojima trolling us again and it means nothing. š
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@colonelkilgore I try to bit a more realistic, but things have been a bit bizarro in nerd culture land in recent times, so I would not count out anything really. I used to a bit more cynical about 10 years ago, but have got a bit more opened minded of late. Except when it comes to scheduling my gaming, I've drop kicked that idea out the window ages ago.
@JohnnyShoulder yeh that **** will be a metaphorical boomerang and come back to hit you upside your head not long after you hit 40 š¤£... luckily for you I'm not one to say 'I told you so' š¤„
Rift Apart had the 2nd best launch in UK (physical sales) of all PS5 games so far - beating Valhalla and Village. No 1 is Miles Morales (same developer).
It also had the 2nd best launch in the series, after the 2016 game (which was a $40 game). Far ahead of A Crack in Time in 3rd place.
