Death Stranding May Show Up at The Game Awards Later This Year

Keighley x Kojima

by Robert Ramsey Tue 7th Aug 2018

Keighley and Kojima sitting in a tree, we probably can't finish this joke for legal reasons. The game industry's deadliest duo is back are back in the headlines after Geoff Keighley posted a picture of Hideo Kojima on Twitter, as the daddy of Metal Gear stood next to a screen with The Game Awards logo on it.

For those totally out of the loop, Keighley's the guy who heads up the aforementioned annual awards event, and we imagine that he'll be in the latter stages of planning out this year's show.

So, does this mean that we can expect to see more of Death Stranding at The Game Awards 2018? We sure hope so.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

Unpopular opinion: I don't mind all the Death Stranding trailers!

@Octane Honestly I feel yours the popular opinion. There's just a very vocal minority. Can't wait as well!

@Kidfried I've seen enough to know that the world of Death Stranding is an interesting one, and one I'd want to explore. If that means I'll be delivering parcels for 50 hours, so be it!

I hope we can see the gameplay, I though we're going to see that at e3 2018.

@Octane I've also seen enough gameplay to know I'll have a good time! Exploration, something parcel management and the horror scene at the end of the last trailer, gave a good idea of some things to expect. Especially that last bit had me on the edge of my seat.

@wiiware There was plenty of gameplay in the E3 trailer!

@Kidfried We've seen a gun, so it's easy to assume shooting will be part of the game, and I think we've all seen enough shooting games to imagine what that will look like.

I wish they won't, they should be showing this stuff at PSX instead. It's why I don't like it when Sony has it on the same week as the game awards cos half of the cool stuff that gets announced gets shown there. The game awards should just be an awards show.

@adf86 If it was just awards, nobody would watch it

@Octane Then they shouldn't bother at all then, just have a hour long end of year show instead. I've said before that the Oscars don't show trailers for upcoming blockbusters to justify itself and I don't think games should either.

Unless its someone sitting down, controller in hand, showing actual gameplay I just cant bring myself to be excited about this news. Enough with the weird trailers and ambiance building, show us that its an actual video game thats interesting!

@adf86 Maybe something they could do is have separate trailers showing different things, one at TGA and another at PSX, maybe have them building off of each other. Wishful thinking yeah, but a good enough compromise I think.
