Death Stranding

DrDamn

Didn’t see this coming … just coming up on a 5 year anniversary, so an exclusivity expiry, or maybe something else?

One interesting point is the engine used. It used the Decima Engine from Guerrilla Games originally. Has that been ported to XBox? Has the game been ported to a different engine?

Brave

Day one.

Although the music doesn’t seem a patch on Low Roar from the first game.

Jogort

Brave just watched that, looks stunning.

Gordon

Brave I’m in. I do hope there’s still plenty of quiet moments and it’s not all mad shit like the trailer. Obviously that’s not something that sells, but the best bits of DS for me were just walking along with nothing much happening, taking in the scenery and enjoying the soundtrack.

Alex

I’m looking forward to every demented second.

Alex

I didn’t realise this out so soon, the 24th of June!

Gordon

Alex I watched a couple of the previews from last week. It looks incredible, not watching any more now.

Brave

Yeah. Beware of some of them. They got to play thirty hours so there’s some spoilery stuff out there.

All I need to know is that they all seemed to universally love it, even the ones that weren’t 100% sold on the original.

Surprised it’s so soon actually. I had in my head it was the end of the year.

Brave

PSA

avoid the EuroGamer review and it’s comments. Looks like the arseholes have spoiled the opening few hours. And the comments are as bad. I think I’ve had one major thing spoiled which I’m really bloody pissed off about.

It seems to be reviewing well though.

Gordon

Brave Thanks for the heads up. That’s very poor if the review is spoiling stuff. Reviews are very good across the board, at least.

Jogort

Surprised this isn’t just an instabuy anyway, without reading anything. Certainly after the first 1 it will be for me.

Gordon

Jogort Yeah me too. Still like having a wee look at some reviews in the meantime.

Jogort

Gordon haha yeah and there’s so many outlets these days it’s hard to avoid but I’ll keep my eyes away.

Gordon

I’ve only been able to play the first hour or so and won’t get a chance to play more until the end of next week, but it certainly seems to be more Death Stranding and I couldn’t be happier 🙂

Brave

Yeah it’s got its hooks in me for sure. There’s nothing quite like it.

Alex

I’ve got it downloaded, looking forward to getting started today. Good exercise for the Pro as well.

Alex

Played a couple of hours last night, feels very much like a direct continuation of the first game, which I guess is to be expected. A bit more combat options this time around. Still, I’ve only just started so I’m sure there’s a long and strange road ahead.

The graphical modes are interesting, on my TV quality/performance was switching between 30@4k and 120@1440p. I found that if I disabled the 120fps option in the PS5 Pro settings then it switched the TV to 60@4k.

At 1440p the image looked a bit grainy, especially when I was peering in the distance to try to mark enemies. I think probably my TV is quite old now and doesn’t have good support for 120fps modes.

Jogort

I’ve restarted the first one again, never actually got round to finishing it and been so long since I played it, didn’t have a clue what I was doing on my save 🤣🤣
