Here's what Death Stranding would have looked like on the original PlayStation

[Shawn Knight]

Through the looking glass: Death Stranding, the curious action game set for release later this year from developer Hideo Kojima, has been public knowledge since mid-2016. There’s still a ton of mystery surrounding the title but one thing we no longer have to ponder is what the game would have looked like on an earlier console – say, the original PlayStation from two decades ago.

3D artist David Poster recently took the liberty of remaking the original Death Stranding announcement trailer using PlayStation-era graphics. It’s a spot-on recreation, utilizing all of the camera angles, cuts and music from the original trailer, right down to the polygon-heavy render of Norman Reedus.

(The original trailer, for comparison)

Kojima himself even shared the video on Twitter – very cool.

Sony probably would have sold a lot more PlayStation Classic consoles if Death Stranding was featured on it heh.

Death Stranding is scheduled for launch on November 8, 2019, on the PlayStation 4 and will likely head to the PC following an exclusivity period. It’s available to pre-order now in standard, special, digital deluxe and collector’s editions, the latter of which includes a full-sized BB Pod.

Ah, Death Stranding, it have recently became a new meme:
Hideo Kojima: We have Norman Reedus and Lea Seydoux!
Marcin Iwiński: Hold my beer!

The game looks absolutely uninteresting, no one would give a damn without that TWD actor who is able to show only 2 facial expressions.

No you're right, no one has ever heard of Hideo Kojima before... (Sarcasm)

It is probably some Japanese fetish or I do not know, something like homosexual porn being highly popular in conservative Texas.

All his recent games were meh, didn't deliver what promised, released them unfinished and so on. Not gonna comment on his older games, nothing special either, it is just the typical Sony marketing. Look at Last of US, Uncharted etc, above average short games with terrible story, corridors with limited world interaction and options how to play and they are being marketed as something from another world.

This game is the prime example, so far I have seen only edgy nonsensical teasers or trailers, whatever.

So far from what I've seen of Death Stranding, it's strange and uninteresting. I predict it to flop.
