It better be different because even though i finished the original twice, I dont think that lone world mechanic can work again with the same effect. If anything it should be more populated, since they supposedly connected all of America. And hopefully we see those people, not just avatars with an email account.

So why is their a leaked trailer for it?
So what. That should make it even easier to work on. You act like they are mutually exclusive.

a leaked teaser?

Is it? Because he didn't show anything at the showcase.
He's talking about the mobile phone game that was leaked.

the leak was of overdose, his cancelled google game
we don't know how similar/different his game with microsoft will be
MasterCornholio

I highly doubt his Microsoft game will be that QTE Mobile game that was leaked. It should definitely be different than the cancelled Stadia project.

its going to be the same concept
cloud based, stremed to a phone. probably horror, might even be the same name

Kojima is always vague, even without the language barrier. Sometimes I think we take these little pieces of information as hyperbole, because they sound like hyperbole, and then completely toss them out, despite them being quite informative.
Anyway, my guess at what he means in this: They aren't going to be building off of the previous mechanics. That isn't their starting point, at least. Kojima is already talking about the theme being "Should we have connected?", so maybe we won't be building the world/path together in this one.

That's XDEV work, so wouldn't really matter for preproduction. Look how late XDEV gets involved for Horizon VR and that is launching FebYeah it started production early last year, thats when it was dated as “Ocean” on the leak.
Also, the original death stranding took 3 years to make, so i assume this one will be relatively similar, especially now that they have a foundation to wrok on

I doubt its going to be that mobile game. Its probably why it wasn't shown.
Edit: This is what I'm talking about BTW
Just saying the final product won't be this QTE mobile game fest. That's probably why it wasn't shown.

I hope they retain the delivery stuff, its the best part of Death Stranding. Also retain the community building
What they need to improve is
1) better combat
2) a better story
3) better combat
4) boss fights that are reminiscent of MGS at its best
5) much better menus. Never had such a headache getting through game menus
But if they strip away the deliveries for a more MGS like game I'm here for that too

It is a game running on a PC cloud server streamed to any device like a phone.
He has had this idea for many years. Its why in the video he did for microsoft he said has been waiting on the technology. Its why he went to Google Stadia and Microsoft. They are interested in cloud streaming. This is his Overdose game idea. Its not going to be anything like Death Stranding or Metal Gear. Its much more experimental. This video was from 2019. He explains his long view of the future of games and streaming, and even says he will make films. And he just announced his film project. His idea for his cloud game is long documented and is what he's making for ms.
"I think within the next few years, gaming will move on to streaming. Movies, dramas, and games will all be streamed and you'll enjoy them on your iPad or iPhone or a screen anytime, anywhere. ... I'm very interested in the new format of game that will appear on there and that's what I want to take on." - Kojima
Timestamp is 22:25
And here he explains this cloud game is his microsoft project:
"Yes, there is a game I have always wanted to make. It's a completely new game, one that no one has ever experienced or seen before. I've waited very long for the day when I could finally start to create it. With Microsoft's cutting edge cloud technology and the change in the industry's trend, it has now become possible to challenge myself to make this never-before-seen concept. It may take some time..." - Kojima
Hideo Kojima Is Making an Xbox Game Using Microsoft Cloud Technology
Rumors suggest it's a horror game called Overdose.
Hideo Kojima Teases New Game Is "Like a New Medium"
Hideo Kojima is once more talking about a new project he's working on, but as usual, his teases [...]
He literally says it is.

Kojima didn't say that the Xbox cloud project is a QTE mobile game. The failed Stadia project probably isn't the same as what he's making for Xbox. Which is probably why it wasn't shown. Otherwise he would have shown something.
But seriously do you think a QTE mobile game is appropriate for a console?
MasterCornholio
Member
I seriously doubt its going to be a QTE mobile game. There's no way Kojima would do that for a console like the Series. I mean there has to be a reason why nothing was shown.

Its not being made for xbox consoles.
Its a cloud game people will play via game pass on any phone/tablet/PC/console/TV that can access game pass.

That sounds bad if true.
I was expecting more like an episodic PT type of game.
Well thankfully he's making DS2 in case the cloud project doesn't turn out well.

Of course it isn’t.
It’s the first strand type sequel.

That's very unlikely. It would not make sense, after the ending of the first one, and even less after the "Should we have connected?" hint. So, in addition to the world condition being different now, the focus and the goal will be probably completely different, and so gameplay too. The attention given to the flying ship and the hint of a "new journey" may imply that the ship itself will be part of the journey. Who knows what the codename "Ocean" was for.

It means a game that maintains the same gameplay formula and level building type, such any Call of Duty, GT, Forza, Gears of War, GoW, ecc.
It will be probably a game set in the same world, but radically different in terms of gameplay, compared to the first one.
It will be probably in third person (I hope so), but what the focus of gameplay will be is still completely unknown.

I mean it's a package delivery game where social media interactions are literal currency.
He was right.

Honestly not sure why people still trying to come at him for that. It'd be in the discussion for most original game in the past decade

2025/26? Going to be a long wait but I trust Kojima. Just wish his out put was faster. Probably could cut some time down if he didnt have 80 minute cutscenes. Only gripe.

Stranding game genre took over gaming.

Stays same genre, perspective etc.
Imagine if death stranding 2 was a racing simulator with a kojima plot.
Now THAT would not be a regular sequel lmao.

I don't think yoy understand what I was saying. Plus I did read the article and know about Tom Hendeson seeing the leaked footage that I showed you.
What I'm saying is that the leaked footage isn't representative of the final product. Yes it can be overdose but will it be a QTE Mobile game fest that was leaked?
Probably not because Kojima is making changes to it so it would work on Xbox. Pretty sure it won't be the QTE mobile game that was shown. It should be much better than that.
Anyways if its anything like that we would have seen something from Kojima. Kojima didn't even give us a name or tell is what type of title it's going to be. There's has to be a reason for that instead of it just being a troll from him.

The preview of this podcast sounds like an advert for a cult.
