Imagine if Kojima went to the Adult Film industry with 3D VR Hollywood celebrities as his cast. Money print machine glitch irl.

 

[TheRedRiders]

Looking forward to this, really hope we get a gameplay deep dive, the game is only a few months away and I feel like we hardly know anything.

[yogaflame]

This might be the Ps5 pro showcase game. But will still be impressive in Ps5 base.

But that looks awesome!

But I came to see and traverse a different kind of terrain and...

 

[balls of snow]

I like how we are 2 years from the reveal and still have no idea how this plays relative to DS 1. Do we get a ship? Do we fly? Kojima the madman.

[Men_in_Boxes]

Do we really need anymore info?

Gameplay?

Kojima's God awful dialogue and stylistic tone do not a game make.

Man, you must be crazy

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

I'll be out of town that week, otherwise id be going to SXSW in person for this

 

[Danjin44]

Gameplay?

Kojima's God awful dialogue and stylistic tone do not a game make.

Of all people YOU criticizing gameplay? the person who thinks Pay to win and charging $40 to unlock each character is the future of gaming.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Man, you must be crazy

You don't think we need to see gameplay of DS2?

 

[Xtib81]

I hope it is Ps5 pro enhance up to 4k with RT at 60 fps.

Lol, best way to be disappointed.

 

[Bradamante3D]

Not sure if we need a panel with overused, self-absorbed actresses a la Lea Seydoux ...

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

self-absorbed actresses

A prerequisite for the profession.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Do we really need anymore info?

We need to see a little gameplay and a release date .. this "panel" is concerning

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

Gameplay?

Kojima's God awful dialogue and stylistic tone do not a game make.

Maybe you'd have more fun if each new cutscene were locked behind a paywall

 

[matty3092]

Hyped for DS2 I'm all in for Kojima's weirdness I adore the first game. The fidelity from that last trailer we got is a massive leap over the first was surprised by how big a leap it is.

 

[Camreezie]

Mandatory coolest pic ever

Kojima looks like a 13 year old having their first cigarette behind a supermarket

With the cool kids!

Kojima's games have better gameplay than the GAAS games you champion.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Looking forward to seeing more, but I don't need to. I was all in enough on the first that I'm all in on the sequel.

 

[Clear]

I don't give a shit what the naysayers say, Kojima is a remarkable figure.

On one hand he's a consummate showman, probably the best promotor of himself and his product in the industry. Ever. Be it the MGS2 trailer that basically pre-sold the PS2, to P.T. and through the endless array of great trailers and gimmicks and how he presents himself and his teams in the media. He's an absolute master.

Then there's his not inconsiderable creative achievements as a game-director, and his seeming prescience regarding world events in his narratives and scenarios.

What people also tend to overlook is he's also a producer, and whether you like his games or not, the quality of the productions made under his leadership is always industry leading.

He's quite the triple-threat, which is what makes him unique.

 

[mckmas8808]

You don't think we need to see gameplay of DS2?

1. We have seen some already. A little bit.
2. Most love Kojima's games even the stuff outside of the gameplay.
