Aside from ResetEra, electropop bands like CHVRCHES are our first port of call for video game news. So while the rest of the planet waits patiently to learn more about Death Stranding, director Hideo Kojima often invites his celebrity mates around for a peek at the project and a nice cup of Matcha tea. The aforementioned Scottish group recently popped by the ex-Metal Gear man’s sci-fi studio, and in an interview with Consolevania, bass player Iain Cook has hinted at what he saw.
“Some of the sh*t he is doing with the new game is unlike anything I have seen anyone else do,” he told the website. “I have no idea how he’s going to make it work but I am confident that if anyone can do it, Kojima can.”
This kind of teasing has been a recurring theme ever since Death Stranding was announced, amping up the mystery surrounding the exclusive. At this point, it’s hard to tell whether it’s all just empty hype, but we suppose Kojima does have a history of thinking outside the box, and we know that there’ll be some unusual uses of online play in the PlayStation 4 title. The wait for more information goes on, we guess.

Bored to tears of Kojima's mates telling me the game's amazing.
@get2sammyb I don’t know why but I have a feeling you don’t take resetera very seriously. Surely that feeling isn’t because of all your recent articles taking the piss out of them some way or another... 😜
Zzzzzz.
It's almost like they have to promise to say something like that in order to get through the doors in the first place.
Next you'll be reporting that the Push Square towers kitchen sink is best mates with Kojima and is in awe of Death Stranding! 😉
I hope to high heaven the game is actually good. Cause if it's not then the collective gaming consciousness will melt down with disappointment.
its so amazing that they cant show it
@3Above I'm not that hyped at this point to be honest, but it's inevitably going to be more interesting than your bog standard Days Gone etc.
Thinking about it, whenever these strong visionaries leave to make there own game it doesn't always turn out well. Remember Might no9? And whatever it was Itagaki went off and did? I hope Kojima can pull this off.
@kyleforrester87 yes it should be. I'm jot hyped by Days Gone either. But "interesting" doesnt always Translate to "good" 😕
Lack of info has left me with no interest at all in this game now.
Four years in I just cant bring myself to care anymore, and when theh finally showed the damn thing last year it was....walking.
This man having a leash was the best thjng that could happen to him. Shame the leash snapped and now he's free.
wake me up when we get actual gameplay, tired of this high and mighty praise..
Another "don't forget about Death Stranding" story. Blah, blah, blah.
Why's everyone so negative? It's been four years and it's still one of my most anticipated games.
@Octane take that nonsense over to NL.
Well that's some news.
@3Above to be honest, these days I often find myself appreciating “weird” over what I suppose you’d called classically “good” games!
I’ve also grown a hench beard and got a bunch of sailor tats, before anyone says it.
inb4 Death Stranding turns out to have been an elaborate hoax all along. Kojima never left Konami, in actuality, and he's hard at work on a next-gen MGS pinball game.
@kyleforrester87 You're just afraid this game will be better than Spider-Man.
Okay, enough with random celebrity’s seeing the game and saying it’s complicated. It’s been said before.
I hope it does turn out to be amazing but I dont really get hyped when people, who may not game at all, say it's amazing. For all we know none of them play games so they wouldn't really know what will amaze the gaming community.
@Octane Bubsy 3D was better than Spider-Man
Yaaaaawn. Im not sure why he isnt just making movies at this point. I will admit outside msg5 he has always delivered on the hype...
@kyleforrester87 Yeah, but to be fair, Bubsy 3D was better than Fez, so I can't argue with that logic.
Anything's possible. I never thought Chvrches would sell out and work with Marshmello, yet here we are.
What people expect these celebs to actually say? They aren't able to say any specifics but websites ask them questions regardless. At the end of the day it's Kojima's MO and it was announced before production begun so it was always going to take a long time before we see a lot more of it.
Also if Push Square themselves are a bit bored of celebs making rather nondescript comments then why post these stories in the first place?
@kyleforrester87 I have the same with GTA its so boring. 😁
I’m surprised that with all the people Kojima has let look at Death Stranding behind closed doors, there hasn’t been any kind of leak concerning any footage or mechanics that wasn’t revealed to the public. It’s surprising that everyone is keeping their mouth shut if they’ve seen these amazing things about the game that we haven’t yet.
I just wanna know if the game will run properly on my standard PS4 and not turn the poor thing into a slide projector resembling a toasted marshmallow.
@Octane don’t talk smack about Fez. I was thinking about that today. I’ve seen it referred to as a “zen platformer”. Would you call the new Yoshi game a zen platformer? Serious question, not just asking you because you’re a Nintendrone, I kinda like the look of it.
It’s power is exceeded only by it’s mystery
@kyleforrester87 Can't tell if you're serious or not
Well done.
@Octane haha I was actually being serious 😂 you big nintendroid.
@kyleforrester87 lol
In that case; it's pretty zen in that it can be quite relaxing. The game itself isn't very hard, unless you go for all the collectibles. The levels looks quite nice, they do some fun stuff with the paper theme. I'm not sure how much the price is a factor for you, but I got it for only €42; but I'm not sure I would've bought it for €60. Overall pretty good game though.
@Octane sounds pretty good, just watched a review too. I assume you got that price because you’re such a super fan. I’ll probably have to wait for a discount.
@kyleforrester87 Yeah, the Super Nintendo Fan Club®, it's pretty good!
Fine, all you haters. I’ll keep the Kojima hype all to myself. Don’t come asking for a copy of the GOTY Edition in a couple years. I’ll kick you straight off the bandwagon.
Kojima for president!
@Th3solution We'll ride that hype train together until it arrives shortly on LZ.
They are trying so hard to build hype for that game but I have completely lost interest since we don't have a clue what it is.
Bored of this now. Fully expecting a 50 hour movie involving a series of QTEs that nobody understands.
