Death Stranding 🐋

“Songs Inspired By” specifically not on the soundtrack, hahaha

Aside from a few old Nintendo repped things, of course this is the first time/place I can recall seeing such a thing done. Or at least, so modern hip as Hideo does it.

I have a bad feeling that this game is going to express a weird fetal personhood thesis.

are bridge babies actually fetuses? I don’t think that’s been established.

they’re given an artificial environment to simulate their still-mothers’ wombs

and let’s not forget deadman’s line of “don’t get too attached to [the BB], it’s just a piece of equipment” contrasted against a POV shot from the BB

at the very least, this game it will keep the vidcon thinkpiece industry afloat this holiday season

I was 100% in with the Heartman trailer but the batch from Gamescom had me wide-eyed “I’m sorry, what?”

Is that original inspired by, like separate artists? I might be thinking of something different but the promo disc I got for 4 was mostly or all Yamaoka stuff, some were used in game and others just part of the released soundtracks as he usually does.

Listening to the soundtrack disc that came with 3 on my drive home from work (release day at Gamestoop) is a super vivid memory because I was hype as hell and blown away

Isn’t this like mad normal for movies. In recent memory creed 2, black panther, the cartoon spiderman, superfly all had albums of music that mostly wasn’t in the film.

Oh yeah it’s long been. Not only osts containing unused tracks but media related albums subtitled with some variation of “song inspired by ___” This is just a newish for games yet totally signature Kojima thing to do

One of the dudes from Blink 182 was on the Songs Inspired by the Passion of the Christ album.

You can play this in 4K/60 now, via RPCS3. Still some bugs, but they seem to be focusing in on this game. As it was unplayable just a month ago.

Christ those are so bad
