Death Stranding’s epic new nine minute trailer went heavy on gameplay footage, but its Japanese edit included a little extra for eagle-eyed fans. This clip, extracted by PythonSelkanHD, shows protagonist Sam stumbling his way through a conflict with a giant tentacle-type creature. Can it be killed? It’s unclear – but we see a few seconds of shooting, with Norman Reedus’ alter-ego seemingly able to change ammunition type on the fly.
While we know that much of Hideo Kojima’s latest will centre on survival, traversal, and stealth, we still don’t have a complete grasp on what the gameplay loop will look like. If this video is anything to go by, though, it looks like you can expect some truly crazy conflicts. We wouldn't have it any other way.

Still don't get it. For Sony's sake I hope this game end up making sense. And I am going to hate it even more because tlou2 got pushed backwards due to this game. So I hope this is a good game. DieKaiser92.. Ouut!!!
PythonSelkanHD is a great channel for Death Stranding theories, so it's great seeing him get a bit of attention.
@DieKaiser92 And I'm sure you'll let us all know if you don't like it.
The Last of Us 2 almost certainly got "pushed back" because it's not ready. Nothing to do with Death Stranding.
@DieKaiser92 Nothing got pushed because of this. But yes this looks silly and confusing at the same time, anyway it’s Kojima so i think gameplay wise it’s going to be great.
So is a hentai game too 😜
Im really looking forward to this game. I would like to know id it had any rpg elements to it, such as levels, upgrades, etc. But ill probaly buy it just for the crazy story. Hopefully we will get a netflix series out of it!
@ellsworth004 Looks similar to MGSV so it will have upgraded weapons and armor guaranteed! There's even pre order DLC suggesting it. Kojima did say it will be a game to play a lifetime, so expect a very long grind.
@Rash battletoads rulz, very fun but brutal game. I dont mind the grind as long as game is good. Witcher 3 is my favorite ps4 game but it is a very long game and leveling up can take awhile. Especially if u want to do everything. Im hoping DS will be like that, long and lots of stuff to do.
@ellsworth004 Indeed it was on the SNES.Those racer stages were a killer. The arcade version was fun. Wish it would some day make a comeback. I have faith in Kojima's work.
Giant tentacle monster by a Japanese company. That would justify an adult only rating.
@get2sammyb I agree and disagree if that's possible! Sony is not stupid and if ND can do a bit better with a few extra months (maybe just to give some final touches probably) they probably tried to push back either game so they don't trample each other.
Of course they would both sell well but...
Not sold on that at all. Still think people worshipping Kojima is a bit sad. Emporers new clothes for me. MGS5 was pretty boring and repetitive IMO. This just looks like it will likely be that but weirder.
Sorry in advance to all Kojima lovers, but that's my assessment whether you agree or not!
@tomassi agreed
@tomassi
MGSV was pretty boring and regardless of what popular opinion says, marred with bad decisions that make no sense (his excuse for replacing David Hayter with Keith Sutterland was nothing short of baffling). Huge empty open world, Snake was a frikkin bullet-sponge and even base management gets boring after a while. I also have my reasons to truly dislike MGS2. With that said, I'm stocked for Death Stranding. What that makes me? Kojima lover? Worshipper?
I think people who use MGSV as a comparison basis to what DS might be will be deeply disappointed. Whether it is a good thing for them or not
