The trailer is base PS5 footage, running @ 60 fps. There's no doubt at this point.

60? The video's at 30fps tho.

 

[VolticArchangel]

Just saw the trailer. He went full Kojima this time.

Is that Luca Marinelli from The Old Guard?

Italian Snake, goddamn he looks good. Holy fuck, Kojima doesn't fuck around.

 

[EDMIX]

With MGS3 remake special edition pre-ordered and the steelbook version of AC Shadows on deck.....I yet again seek the collectors edition of Death Stranding 2

(If GTA6 even comes out this year, that will make another special edition)

I doubt BF6 is coming out this year and doubt they'll have steelbook, for some time I don't think they did special editions like that as I vaguely recall getting the BF3 special edition on PC that came with a dog tag
I still have that to this day

 

[nial]

By end of the year, ps5 may cement itself as not the worst generation in Playstation history

People will just say that DS2 does not count because Kojima owns the IP, despite all these screenshots literally stating that it's 'produced by Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.'
Which is, specifically, the Japanese branch that itself developed Astro Bot.

 

[yurinka]

I literally captured that blurb in a screen shot from the trailer in the OP, go watch it yourself if you don't believe me it's in the first 10 seconds

It's the one I quoted, it says PS5. Not PC, not PS5 Pro. It says PS5:

Keep in mind that footnotes like this do not rule out it being the PS5 Pro version being shown. It's still a PS5.
What he's saying though is why does it mention in-game cinematics specifically in the first line.

The capture mentions that the video is a mixture of in-game cinematics and gameplay. And that it was captured in PS5, which also is mentioned in the official screenshots.

Normally when captured in PS5 Pro is mentioned as PS5 Pro, but yes: it could be PS5 Pro. But not PC.

Yeah but I think Unknown soldier is asking why the distinction. Let me swap the sentences around so that perhaps it becomes clearer.

"mix of in-game cinematics and gameplay. In-game cinematics captured on PS5"

He's asking could gameplay be different for them to state it like that, so for example captured on PS5 Pro and in-game cinematics PS5.

 

[peek]

Nice graphics. Looks like a nice watch on Twitch. Not for me when it comes to actually playing it.

Its where Im at too. Unless the gameplay blows the first one outta the water... ima just watch on youtube. The visuals look absolutely top notch incredible.

Reading comprehension on gaf has taken a serious hit recently. Either that or people are being obtuse on purpose.

Stop being mean and calling others obese.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Trailer is nice.

One thing I don’t like about good trailers is, playing the game is completely different experience to watching the trailer.

I get into game expecting it to be mind blowing but first 10 hrs am doing fed ex deliveries. Not cool.

 

[Astray]

That genie is not going back in the bottle unless you fools stop buying this early access BS

Believe me I ain't buying no early access.

 

[TGO]

I see no steelbook to go with this...

That is majorly disappointing....

 

[GooseMan69]

I’m really curious if the Italian Snake thing is just a fun little callback or if Kojima is actually going all the way with this.

 

[Elog]

I simply love Kojima. Death Stranding was my GOTY when it came out. Incredible experience. He has gathered such a talented team of people around him and then going all in on his vision for the next piece. Great respect for me and I wish more would dare to follow in his foot steps - do not compromise when it comes to creative content.

 

[rofif]

Keep kidding yourself.

Look at death stranding 1 trailers and cutscenes. You think they used pssr then?
Good dev never needed it

 

[rofif]

lol at all the border references in this trailer. Kojima is so done with American politics lol. I wonder if this game gets cancelled on twitter.

Covid - we should connect back together, get out of our bunkers.
Now - it was a mistake to connect because people are using it for bad purposes, border issues, USA guns problem, etc.

Kojima goat.

 

[rofif]

Media blackout for me, I want to save my feeling complete utter confusion about what the fuck is going on for the actual game not a trailer (took me a while to sorta figure out the first one). I just hope we don’t get shit as frustrating at BTs hauling your ass out of your truck and dragging you a mile away then having to fight a mini boss all while BB/Lou is crying non stop. Also delivering packages to Conan O’Brian really sucked because his bunker was in a really annoying spot.

Watching Kojima trailers and hype is part of the game release!
I will go on blackout before release.

 

[Gonzito]

I just woke up and I am seeing Solid snake everyone in social media wtf is happening papitos

 

[Embearded]

Probably won't happen but I wonder if that character is grown up Lou, just like the alt-universe character in DS1 was Madds which was Porter's father

But Lou is a girl.
During the end of DS1 Sam calls her Louise.

Day 1

 

[gtabro]

“Art cards” is the most useless garbage they put in collectors editions. Either put an art book, albeit a small one, or none of that trash at all.

Also, day 1 for me as well but regular edition.

 

[captainnapalm]

I tried with the first game - but the story was so impenetrable and the balancing heavy shit thing really wasn't doing it for me. I think I could even have tolerated it if it was a plain walking simulator, but having to walk while balancing a bunch of shit even took the fun out of that. Maybe I'll give it another chance. Did the story in the first game eventually amount to something?

 

[DenchDeckard]

Day one. My most anticipated game this year.



Yet another one of their fantastic "innovations" that has left a lasting impression on the industry.

Wasn't it one of the third party publishers that did it first?

I feel like ubisoft or ea started early access. Still it sucks.


Back on topic and hype. If they announce a special edition pro for this....im going to struggle to not invest.

Honestly, the first game is easily in my top games of all time. Can't fucking wait!

 

[SpokkX]

Looks amazing... but will this be 30fps on PS5 consoles?

I wonder when the PC version releases - especially since Kojima now owns the Death Stranding ip

 

[Gonzito]

Well, that was super retarded.

No hate for the people looking forward to this game, but...

Kojima was better when Konami was reining him in.

See you at launch papi

 

[Kupfer]

WTF,

Collectors Edition for 250€ and not even a disc included?

Every version is like "Full Game Digital Download" only?

 

[Lumpyoatmeal]

Trailer is nice.

I get into game expecting it to be mind blowing but first 10 hrs am doing fed ex deliveries. Not cool.

I been a day one Metal Gear fan and I also played the hell out of ZOE but I was disappointed personally when I finally got the chance to play Death Stranding a month or two ago. I uninstalled it about two hours in, I thought it was absolutely terrible.

The fact that I'm more excited to play a Metal Gear remake than a new Kojima game is crazy to me.

 

[GymWolf]

I screamed when I saw this. Mexican Snake! I am so fucking in!

i think the actor is italian.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Is it confirmed 60FPS, it will be won't it?

 

[GymWolf]

Going to resist watching the trailer with every fiber of my being and maintain my media blackout. June is fantastic, another Kojima masterpiece incoming, let's fucking go!

Good choice, the trailer spoiler a shitton of stuff.

 

[Clear]

Thought it was already confirmed to have the standard 60ps Perf and 30fps Fidelity mode setup that Sony favors?
Think it was in a PS Blog post awhile back. Could be wrong though.

 

[Rocinante618]

Cool trailer but gameplay looks more of the same but expanded?

Pass. Maybe check it when the PC version launches.

 

[Hyet]

Looks exactly like the first one

I want the special edition, but I want my physical copy too.

Sam farter bridges?

 

[Kupfer]

DAMN WTF!

I want the special edition, but I want my physical copy too.

I would have bought the CE, but this is simply not a Collectors Edition.
What am I supposed to collect? A redeemed license that's sitting on a server somewhere and I have no control over its whereabouts or use?
No thanks - this is just disrespectful towards collectors and the target customer, scummy Sony at its best.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

WTF,

There's a physical release for the standard edition, but yeah, the collector's edition only gives a download code (they did the same thing with their past CE releases: SM2, GoW:R, HFW).

30 on base, probably a 60fps performance option upscaling 720p. If you want 60, get a Pro.

Strange marketing when the CE which comes with a digital download code is listed in the "Physical Version" section.
I mean according to that logic, a postcard with the code stamped on it and send to you would be a physical version of the game

None of the Sony PS5 collector's editions came with a disc. Ragnarok, Forbidden West, etc. Just a download code. This isn't new.

Wow what a slap in the face for the fans. “Here buy this expensive junk you hoarder”.
I will wait for a PS5 disc regular edition and be happy with it… but suspiciously no pre-orders yet. Don’t let me down Kojima or I won’t watch your 30-minute segment in the Jeff’s Awards show this year.

 

[yogaflame]

Before there are only 2 trailers that I watched multiple times in this generation: Stellar blade and GTA6. Now, let us make it three, with this March 9, DS2 trailer.

For me it is new since I'm not interested in the games you and Thick Thighs Save Lives mentioned.

I have a mint and unopened DS1 CE here and would have loved to put the DS2 CE right next to it, but without a physical game it doesn't feel worth anything for me.

 

[Shaki12345]

I played DS1 for 20+ hours. Something in life came up and I was out for a month. When I came back to DS1 I couldn't get back into it. Too many systems and sub systems and controls are badly explained. The story and side stories are all so vast and convoluted that it was impossible for me to continue.

 

[Pedro Motta]

Looks exactly like the first one
