As promised, Hideo Kojima brought a lengthy new look at Death Stranding to E3 2018, and it confused everyone. The gameplay still looks quite early, but it’s clear that the auteur has a mind-bogglingly bonkers vision for this PlayStation 4 exclusive opus.
Exactly what your objective in Death Stranding is remains unclear at this stage, but there’s a mixture of climbing and stealth in the gameplay trailer. We’ll almost certainly learn more over the course of the week.

So, E3 2019 and 2020 for another solid but confusing trailer for Death Stranding, plus its announcement as a PS5 game... I mean seriously, this game has been shown at 3 E3s and no one knows WTF it's about...
W t f ? Delivery boy on drugs?
This trailer killed any excitement I had. Walking around and sneaking past shadow monsters? Wow. Totally breathtaking gameplay right there.
People can defend the lack of story explanation all they want, but "it's a Kojima game" isn't a good enough excuse for me. At some point they need to give us some idea about what's going on if they want people who aren't already die-hard Kojima fanboys to care.
It's like more open world mgs 5 I think, I want to see the enemy that we can fight rather than just avoid.
It's weird but I really want to see more. Not 100% convinced.
@KirbyTheVampire I'm 99% sure this has gunplay too!
Anyway the gameplay made me even more excited for this! The environments look INSANE
So he's a cross between Beedle and the mailman. Kojima must be a big Zelda fan.
Looks amazing and absolutely bonkers and unique cannot wait to get my hands on this.
@KirbyTheVampire yeah because that’s all it’s going to be it’s not like we didn’t see him have some type of rifle in this video but no you’re right it’s a walking simulator with some stealth smh
@KirbyTheVampire Isn't that the how Kojima likes to market his games, though? To create a buzz by keeping people guessing.
Now I understand, everything makes sense now.
Don't worry, I will not spoil it here.
I don’t want to know anything more. I wanna be in the dark until it comes out. That trailer was brilliant at giving more but explaining less. More questions than answers. Love it
@dark_knightmare2 @AFCC I didn't say there wouldn't be more, but this can barely be considered a gameplay segment. Most games allow you to walk around after all.
I'm sure the game will be good, but this trailer did not excite me at all.
@WanderingBullet Probably, but it clearly has the opposite effect on me, lol.
@KirbyTheVampire Personally, I would like to see the combat portion of the game but I understand what you mean, though.
I mean what looked like actual gameplay really just consisted of walking around. At some point the whole mysterious vibe needs to go away and they need to just come out and explain what this game is. Just someone sit down in front of a mic and detail at least genre/gameplay/combat etc.
The strange thing to me was he pulled out a rifle, but no action or combatwas shown. Mainly just traversal and a bit of stealth possibly. The open world is gorgeous though. Between this, Ghost of Tsushima, and TLoU 2, games are starting to look nearly photo-realistic.
Not sure what to think of it yet. I'm little too tired to think, so I'll need to rewatch it tomorrow.
Anyone familiar with Lindsay Wagner? I've heard of Lea Seydoux, but not Wagner.
The only thing I know is that I want it. It just looks so interesting and original. Nothing like it out there, at least thematically.
This looked so good! I mean all the crypic stuff is confusing but something about all of it seems to have great potential
Cage > Kojima
Call me lazy, but if I have to project my desires and wishes onto a gameplay trailer to make it something I want it to be, something is not right. I couldn't be less hyped for this if I tried.
Pretty impressive facial graphics it must be said.
So is this a ps5 game? I mean still no sollid info and early gameplay since 2016.
That looked incredible! Easily the best trailer of the show. You act as a porter, the lady when the hand prints appeared said fragile and handle with care, theres wildlife shown whilst climbing a mountain, interior areas, sci fi areas etc. Its pretty obvious what the game will be about and as Kojima is known for stealth, horror and great story telling will be one of the best games ever.
I gotta admit,for a game I had no interest or hype for,after seeing that gameplay trailer I'm very much interested....no idea what's going on...(like trying to understand Westworld) but very interested..
@KirbyTheVampire Understandable
@Krest_arisen Please.watch the language, thanks.
I'm not sure that we'll get to know what's going on even if the game releases.
Game looks horrible.
@JerkWad Let's watch the language please.
??? @Tasuki What language. Watch yourself A Hole
I saw the trailer during E3, glad we got to know a little bit more about the plot and finally saw some tidbits of gameplay.
