LOS ANGELES—Cementing his reputation as an auteurist designer of bleeding-edge video games, Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima took the stage at a press conference during the Electronic Entertainment Expo Tuesday to unveil Death Stranding, a new gaming opus consisting entirely of a two-hour pre-rendered cutscene. “Kojima Productions set out to rethink established boundaries of character and storytelling in games, because defining experiences shared with created characters by the concepts of ‘action’ or ‘role-playing’ or ‘controlling things at all’ seems limiting at this stage of narrative evolution,” said Kojima, adding that he anticipates a seismic shift in the industry as game developers rush to emulate his new approach. “Early-build players have found themselves inexorably drawn in as Death Stranding introduces the plot, establishes characters, reveals narrative tension, and resolves the story over the course of 120 minutes, and it’s only a matter of time before the greater public latches onto this sort of storytelling experience—one that’s bold enough to challenge convention by taking autonomy away from gamers.” Kojima concluded his appearance by announcing the release of a 30-minute demo of Death Stranding, the intense demand for which immediately crashed both Playstation Plus and Xbox Live services.

But that’s a—. That’s.... hmmmm

Meanwhile, James Franco will be doing a spoken word Mario Kart play with Shia Lebeouf as Luigi.

You jest, but...this might not be too far from the truth.

I think he really means this.

You mean Death Stranding isn't?

What a great original idea! How come no one's ever thought of that? This has so much potential!

I would be fine with this

MegaBeefBowl I hope you can pause it...

so basically a game specifically made for games urinalists. ow please let a developer actually do this. these urinalists would still complain that it's to difficult to press the play button.

Me: 'WHAT THE F... oh, its the onion... PHEW' 😅

didn't Activision do that two years ago?

I was hoping he would try something new. Instead it’s just the same old Kojima game.

Pokezard I’d still buy it

it takes that long to pee?

Well, it could be completely true. People only likes that game bc it is being made by Kojima but maybe the game isn't that good then. It is being too overhyped :/

The Order 1886 already came out in 2015.

Only 2 hours?

2 hours seems a bit short.

TheArtistJJ ItalianGuy48

The movie adaptation will be close to the original.
