I’m probably in the minority on this...but this trailer didn’t really excite me. It got me interested but it’s already at a point where I’ll have to wait and see from the reviews. I have not played a lot of Kojima’s games but I have some understanding of his game philosophies.
The graphics are pretty astounding. Pretty cool seeing the actors look as they are in real life.
The story is more confusing than ever. Will I eventually understand when I play the game? I’m not sure...I guess that doesn’t matter in some sense, but I don’t really see where this is going.
The gameplay looks..mediocre. Part of a video game is being able to play the game. The combat looks like Uncharted..and not in a good way. It looks kinda clunky and stiff. Maybe it’ll change..I don’t know.
As for it being open world...I hope it’ll intrigue me as Breath of the Wild did. Whenever I explored Hyrule, I always look forward to the unknown and part of that was the gameplay mechanics that allowed me to be creative and discover nukes and crannies that surprise me. I worry that DS’s gameplay might not be as effective if it’s going the open world route.
If you’re all excited, cool beans. I’m keeping an eye on this game. Just not sure what to really think of it at this time. |
I'd say that we haven't seen enough gameplay to confidently judge it.

Yeah I have those concerns too.. 3 years is usually taken by sequels, considering they already have engine in place from the first game. 5 years is minimum for a New IP as initial years are spent on building engine for their specific task. So I will give benefit of doubt to KP as they were handed over a robust decima engine which they retooled for DS. Also its Kojima that guy wont release a game untill and unless his vision for the game is met.. he is the last guy to rush development to meet dead lines.

I guess Kojima's been working on this since MGS5 days. He had the vision, the story and idea. He just had to find the team and the engine to do it.

Thats exactly what I was thinking. Nothing else would make sense for how quickly he got this all done. I think this has been Kojima’s side project when not on the clock at the Konami building for years.
Idk how Japan works, but in America, Konami would likely try to go after Kojima to see if he ever worked on DS while on—or with—Konami property.
