Kojima is a master. People will doubt him because they are shallow. Once the final product comes out, it'll be a gem for those of us who invests the time to play it. It is not Call of Duty, that's for sure.

All games play the same nowadays... Some times, it feels like, It's just FPS or open world with different skins. It is refreshing, and admirable for devs to try to create something new. These kind of criticism is unwanted and stupid. Would you rather have another FPS with new skins and story? 

Have you played the game? 

Its not appealing in the least, so it doesnt surprise me. most of the people who buy this will do so because kojima.

It sucks Alana is leaving too, she is hot!

Death stranding is something unlike anything else. I think this will be a hit but panned by Xbox pc leaning outlets which doesn't matter as game will be brilliant

so a number of devs have played a game that is at least a year away, and one didn't like it

ok

it's an opinion from one person from a unfinished project

One of them didn't like it, the others didn't say anything as far as I know.

I don't think Sony would let a random mobile dev play Death Stranding. "Prolific dev" is probably just a way to avoid saying their name and avoid any trouble.

From what they showed at E3 all you do in the game is walk so not surprised .
