Between the world premieres and the awards being given out, video game enthusiasts have many reasons to tune in to The Game Awards every year. This year's event has the potential to be the biggest Game Awards yet, and it will be exciting to see how it all goes d

Now that Kojima Productions is finished with Death Stranding , its first major title since Kojima's departure from Konami, fans are waiting with bated breath to see what the video game producer and writer is going to come up with next. There are plenty of theories out there about what these games might be. Here are the the most plausible (and the most ridiculous) theories availa

Few AAA games of recent years are as unique or as divisive as Death Stranding . While the unconventional gameplay of Hideo Kojima ’s open-world post-apocalyptic delivery sim failed to resonate with a lot of players, plenty of fans have been curious to see it expanded upon in a potential sequel. To that end, Kojima has clarified a few things about a piece of concept art that had fans thinking that he was teasing such a g

Death Stranding’s controls also map really well onto the mouse and keyboard. Every keybind feels intuitive and those who prefer a controller can still easily plug one in and enjoy the game that way. The mouse and keyboard controls even include some quality of life changes that PS4 players would’ve loved; for example, you can now skip cutscenes and any short animations like Sam’s frequent showers without entering any menus. My only real complaint thus far is a small one; the loading screen when first launching the game up takes about 90 seconds. However, all other loading screens are pretty short, so you only have to sit through that load once per sitt

However, if you’ve already played the game, watched some gameplay online, or read Logan's wonderful review , then that isn’t news to you. In that case, you’re probably wondering how this PC port performs. Well, I’m happy to report that so far my experience has been amazing; it’s clear that the seven months since the game’s PS4 launch were very well-spent. My PC barely meets Death Stranding’s recommended settings, yet I’ve played around 10 hours so far, all at 60+ FPS without graphical errors, slowdown, or crashes. Meanwhile, the graphics are some of the best I’ve ever seen on my PC; certain environments and character models are hyper-realistic to the point where I feel like I am controlling a character in an HDR video. This isn’t too surprising considering it’s a port to PC, but it is worth mentioning. After all, we have seen some terrible PC ports in the p

For those who are going into Death Stranding completely blind, let me give you a brief introduction without spoiling too much. You control Sam Porter Bridges, a legendary delivery man traveling lonesome across a dangerous post-apocalyptic United States, completing delivery orders and digitally connecting America’s remaining establishments. Sam’s job might sound boring, but there is no shortage of tense moments in Death Stranding ; any given footstep could be your last as cargo-hungry thieves, the unforgiving environment, and invisible enemies known as BTs are all out for blood. Who knew that being a mailman could be the most difficult job in the entire coun

"I'm always thinking about ideas as I'm working on games," he said. "These aren't major plans, but just fragments of new ideas. I think about these ideas myself, and then I explain them to other people, in order to get opinions about them." Going on, he explained that the illustration in the photo was created by Metal Gear character designer and Death Stranding 2 crafting guide|https://deathstranding2world.com/ Stranding art director Yoji Shinkawa, who often creates drawings based on his id

I’ve obviously never played the PS4 version of Death Stranding , and I’m sure that I’m far from completing its 40-hour campaign, but nothing I’ve experienced so far stops me from claiming that PC is now the definitive place to play Death Stranding . The game is visually stunning, controls well, and runs immaculately; so far I’d say it was well worth the seven month wait. However, I still have a few hundred more orders to complete; one of which is my review of Death Stranding’s PC version which I’ll be carefully delivering to DualShockers readers later this mo

Arguably the closest thing the video game industry has to the Oscars or the Emmys is The Game Awards . Each year, a group of industry insiders and journalists come together to vote on which games should win in a variety of categories. The winners are announced in December at The Game Awards , which has been hosted by video game journalist Geoff Keighley since its inception in 2

This year, six games are competing to be crowned Game of the Year, with Control , Death Stranding , Resident Evil 2 , Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice , Super Smash Bros. Ultimate , and The Outer Worlds all up for the big prize. It's hard to say which game will walk away with the distinction of being named Game of the Year, but it should be noted that Death Stranding is nominated for the most awar
