Death Stranding Will Most Likely Be A Playstation 5 Game?
Hideo Kojima’s upcoming game, Death Stranding, sure has created a ton of hype and lead to a fair amount of head scratching among gamers. It’s also becoming one of the most awaited games for many people, including me. Death Stranding is being developed exclusively for the Playstation 4, with excellent support from Sony powering Kojima Productions. One of the things that’s worrying though is that the game actually might not hit a release date anytime soon, so much so that it might possibly end up being a Playstation 5 game. The thing about Kojima is that he takes time with the games he makes, with development periods averaging 4-6 years. The studio has only been formed a year ago when Kojima was still out and about deciding the engine he wanted to make the game on. He final...

He was extremely passionate, and while he was there to reveal more about his game, he had few choice words to say. He started with talking about EA and the whole lootbox controversy. Then he went on to talk about how he was so happy to be a part of the gaming industry, and even threw a few insults at the movie industry, and their awards show, the Oscars. “Look, the Oscars should fuck themselves up,” he said. “This is the shit! I’m telling you — this is, this...
