The art direction is very nice, kind Oblivion-ish, I like that, some of the "connected" stuff seems interesting and strange, the bike looks cool. Not sure where the game play was/is though.

 

[Sub_Level]

Most definitely PS5 not coming this year.

Well yea sony already said it wasnt coming this fiscal year. Meaning not anytime through March 31 2020.

 

[Humdinger]

It's arriving much earlier than I expected. I thought it would be 2020 for sure. Good news. I'll be getting it, for sure.

 

[nowhat]

Sounds like a heavy online component to this, then. I wonder if we'll actually get any form of straight up MP, though?

I'm guessing more along the lines of Dark Souls (not that the game would be anything like Dark Souls, just the MP component).

 

[Verdanth]

Great trailer. I'm still not completely sure what we do in the game but it looks great. Graphics look really good. Can't wait!

Boss, is that you?

 

[Gamernyc78]

Didn't understand shit! But I'm in day one. Damn those facial animations and some of those graphics are top tier!!!! Cant wait to go in blind and figure shit out myself.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

here's the thing, MGSV was terrible when it comes to open world and Kojima simply don't know how to make such games

i disagree, MGSV was an amazing open world. tons of bases that were all more or less the size of an entire chapter of MGS4, all interconnected across two continents, plus the GZ map and the FOB maps (the latter basically the size of the entire MGS2). full open world stealth with roaming helicopters & patrols. lots of varying landscapes for side ops, elegantly fixing the problem from PW of repetitive level re-use. plus not once in hundreds of hours did i get stuck on any geometry. they have quality control down, during these phases where he is playing the game over and over, they make sure that shit is right. i don't see level design as being an issue.

i feel a heavy influence from MGS3's The Sorrow, that river of the damned, the way the dead are taken by the Earth. this looks like MGSV but as a 70s apocalyptic sci fi film. giving me Logan's Run or Planet of the Apes feels.

 

[metareferential]

Production values are through the roof, as usual.

What the fuck did I just watch anyway.

By the way, wasn't this confirmed as coming to pc also?

 

[HUELEN10]

Frame rate seems to be a wee bit rough, specifically during that motorcycle yellow guy chase scene. I know there’s still time for polish though. Looks intriguing.

 

[CagedChicken]

The facial modeling is very beautiful.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

 

[Alebrije]

I like story driven games and this one seems a good one....maybe gameplay will be like MGSV with more stealth elements than action ones.

Interesting concept.

 

[CJY]

Decima engine is amazing. I hope next gen we'll see more studios using it. I'm really shocked how fast this whole thing came together for a Kojima game.

 

[Airbus Jr]

PC version still viable or this has become PS exclusive?

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

To echo #Phonepunk# , I loved MGS5 and this looks like MGS5 2.0. Can't wait to save America and all of the Bridge Babies. The story seems like it will not pull punches in terms of the themes it tackles. I expect accusations of "nationalism" for the bits about building up America, just wait.

Any prices for collectors edition?

I want it.

[Da-Kid]

This game looks like it's going to be bad. Even looking at the gameplay looks overly convoluted and off. The story looks like something that is going to have a lot of weird ideas with no explanation to make it all make sense.

 

[Geki-D]

PC version still viable or this has become PS exclusive?

Kojima wanted a PC version before they found an engine. Then they picked a Sony-proprietary one and PC talk went right out the window. Yeah, don't expect a PC version.

Any prices for collectors edition?

200.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

PC version still viable or this has become PS exclusive?

As far as I know, it's always been a PS4 exclusive

 

[nowhat]

PC version still viable or this has become PS exclusive?

At what point would have this been confirmed to come to PC? Other than wishful thinking?

 

[Roni]

I've pre-ordered. Game looks amazing!

At what point would have this been confirmed to come to PC? Other than wishful thinking?

There was definitely some talk about this game being a console exclusive to PS4, with a PC version to be released. But that hasn't been talked about for some time. Guess Sony liked it enough that they went for full exclusivity.

 

[deriks]

I still have no idea how the game will be really played, but I will get.

I hope that it's not another case of "awesome cutscenes, just an ok gameplay"

 

[CyberPanda]

Compared to MGS(Kojimas best work imo), this is gonna be a hard pass for me. The trailer while nice, did absolutely nothing for me. And, I don’t know why every game now has to throw politics into it. Gross. But, whoever gets this game I hope they enjoy it.

 

[bravoguy]

Awesome

 

[nowhat]

...have you played a Hideo Kojima game before?

 

[Ogbert]

So, the baby is used to power time travel.

You then go back to WW1, WW2 and Vietnam and shoot bad guys.

Genuinely cringeworthy, but let's see how it plays.

Youre seriously going to throw away posibly one of the biggest game of the year?

 

[nowhat]

Guess Sony liked it enough that they went for full exclusivity.

Or rather, Kojima Productions went with Decima, it's not a portable engine.

 

[CuNi]

By the looks of it, I will have to wait till it's sub 30$ before getting it. I don't mean to offend anyone but to me, it doesn't look fun at all gameplay wise and the story seems to be so weird, I am not completely sure if even the writers know what it really is.

 

[CyberPanda]

Yep. I tried my best to like it, but it’s just not making my nipples hard. MGS was way more interesting imo.

 

[dottme]

It looks good.
Now my two objectives:
-> resist to buy it and wait for the PS5 version
-> avoid all the spoilers.

It’s going to be tough.

 

[Geki-D]

To my understanding the baby is used to detect "BTs". BTs or some force related to them seemingly use risen soldiers from past wars as units. Not sure where you're getting time travel from.

 

[Hendrick's]

 

[TyphoonStruggle]

Gameplay look very boring. Goddamnit, killing my interest.

Maybe Kojima should get out of games and into directing movies or a TV series.

 

[longdi]

I think quantic dreams is releasing PC ports this year. Sony seems cool about that.
Hoping DS gets a PC release next year, 4K 60fps HDR, will 120fps if those 4K high refresh local dimming monitors finally arrive.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

You just offended the poop out of me, buddy. Now prepare for my wrath.

Just kidding. I totally feel you. This game won’t be for everyone. I expect some polarized reviews as well. Some will call it an artistic narrative masterpiece, others will call it convoluted drivel.

So it goes....

 

[Da-Kid]

I'm in his same position but not going to hard pass. But basically this trailer failed to actually show what you do in the gameplay, what's the goal, what's the general mechanics, what you can do in the open world. Like this game has had some of the poorest presentation I've seen in a game in a while. It's very clear they're trying to sell it on the Star power and Kojima's name alone.

Every trailer has shown that.

 

[CyberPanda]

Agreed. I play games to escape reality, and political crap. I’m just kind of glad Nintendo stays out of it, though. MS and Sony are notorious for politics in their games.

 

[nowhat]

I think quantic dreams is releasing PC ports this year. Sony seems cool about that.

Yeah, but was the development of any of the QD games bankrolled by Sony, at least to a larger extent? Further, did any of the QD games run on an engine designed purely for PS4 (and by extension PS5)?

 

[Gamernyc78]

Decima engine is amazing. I hope next gen we'll see more studios using it. I'm really shocked how fast this whole thing came together for a Kojima game.

Yeah idk it seems like we felt it was at least a year or two away and bammmmm out later this year, that's crazy!!! Especially with how ppl say Kojima takes a long time to bring out a game. This was a pleasant surprise, that engine must be efficient and great!!!

 

[CyberPanda]

Gameplay look very boring. Goddamnit, killing my interest.

Maybe Kojima should get out of games and into directing movies or a TV series.

I agree. I’ve been saying that for years, and Kojima would be a great director for a tv show or movie. Who knows, maybe that’s his next project in life?

 

[Airbus Jr]

Well this game isnt like anything else youve played before

I assume that suppose to makes you...abit more curious about it?

 

[ZiriusOne]

I'm not judging the gameplay just yet. We have only seen such a small slice. The art direction of the game is outstanding though and the story sounds intrigueing.

 

[Geki-D]

I think quantic dreams is releasing PC ports this year. Sony seems cool about that.

Sony published their games but QD aren't owned by Sony. They also used their own engine whilst DS is using a Sony made one. Also, I'm wondering if Sony even own those IPs at all seeing as they're headed to PC. It would appear they actually don't by the mere fact they're leaving PS4.

 

[Alfen Dave]

Too Deep For You: The Game

A cinematographic experience from Hideo Kojima.

 

[MayauMiao]

Agreed. I play games to escape reality, and political crap. I’m just kind of glad Nintendo stays out of it, though. MS and Sony are notorious for politics in their games.

You don't play a Hideo Kojima game and expect it to be politics free.

 

[Gamernyc78]

Just kidding. I totally feel you. This game won’t be for everyone. I expect some polarized reviews as well. Some will call it an artistic narrative masterpiece, others will call it convoluted drivel.

And thts OK. As long as the ppl that buy it enjoy it and the ones that don't, don't feel like they missed anything worthwhile everyones happy.

The crazy story is what has me there day one!

 

[nowhat]

This was a pleasant surprise, that engine must be efficient and great!!!

It's not only the engine, it's also the tools built to use it. Check out the HZD Noclip documentary, or this GDC talk: https://www.guerrilla-games.com/read/gpu-based-procedural-placement-in-horizon-zero-dawn

It's insane how Guerrilla was able to build such beautiful environments with very few people (once the engine and tools were up and running).
