A notably ill-judged (or possibly mistranslated) tweet recently landed Kojima in trouble for promoting himself – instead of the hundreds of developers who have worked on the game. While Kojima’s fans include Del Toro and Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts, many remain unconvinced, irritated by his celebrity posturing and the game’s apparent lack of substance. It all adds up to a remarkable show of faith in Kojima, whose notorious Twitter account oscillates between creative musings and carefully staged pictures of Bento boxes. The bizarre snippets that have been released have obsessed the web: 7.7 million people have watched Reedus’s protagonist studiously adjust his backpack, while 6 million caught French actor Léa Seydoux eating a space slug to keep away the “timefall” (a rain that causes people and plants to rapidly age and die). Since the game was announced in 2016, its plot and gameplay have remained mostly under wraps. Death Stranding features The Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus, left, on an epic quest. Most agreed to perform because they’re fans of Kojima’s work, especially his multimillion-selling Metal Gear Solid series. Acclaimed video game director Hideo Kojima and his team have also created incredible likenesses of The Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus, who takes on the lead role of delivery man, as well as Mads Mikkelsen and director Guillermo del Toro. One recent demo focused on such gimmicks as urinating to create mushrooms.
For reasons unknown, the living and dead coexist, with the protagonist able to connect to the “other side” via a “jar baby” in an artificial womb.
In this epic video game, by far the most controversial of 2019, players must traverse a future America to reconnect its “chiral network” (a posh internet), while dodging mysterious BTs (beached things). This is the dystopian milieu of Death Stranding, which will hit shops soon, just in time for the hectic Christmas period. I magine a world where babies are stored in life-support jars, humans are stalked by oily ghosts, and the American president is played by Lindsay Wagner, the helter-skelter-haired star of 1970s cult TV show The Bionic Woman.
