There’s something else to consider, too, when looking at a potential development timeline for Death Stranding 2 . Kojima probably has other projects planned or already in development. This will push production on Death Stranding 2 back even further than expected, meaning that it might not come to fruition until the end of the PS5 life cycle. Kojima seems to prefer to work on one project at a time, so fans should probably not hold their breath for a sequel even being announced anytime s

In breaking down the core gameplay loop, Death Stranding is about delivering packages where merits and statistics are judged by how well cargo is delivered and the environment is navigated. The Social Strand system is noteworthy for how it helps deal with various environments, but this is not altogether different from RDR2 . In Rockstar’s western, players are on the run from the law, following one Dutch Van Der Linde scheme into the next and traveling around the world. This focus on travel is re-emphasized by its environm

A mace that deals 67 damage might seem underwhelming to most, especially for when players can obtain it, but The Calavera is no ordinary mace. This weapon dominates against clusters of foes as it does fantastic area damage with its ground slams . When combines with its Flame augment, few enemies can stand the devastating blows from this weapon. For those who wish to achieve eight perfect rounds of The Crucible, this weapon makes that activity dramatically eas

Another area that the new Fable game could improve on is the impact that choices players make will have on the story and other characters in the game. Although previous Fable games did provide players with some choices, their consequences don’t really have an impact on the grander scheme of things, and they don’t even matter in succeeding games. A good example of a choice system that Playground Games could adopt is that of the Dragon Age franchi

Last month proved to be a good one for longtime fans of the Fable franchise after a new game was officially announced at the Xbox Games Showcase event. Of course, the confirmation of a new Fable game is definitely good news to its loyal fanbase given that the franchise has skipped releasing a mainline title for the Xbox

Playground Games could probably look at how Nintendo designed Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, or better yet, Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima . In the latter, players find themselves in an expansive version of ancient Japan, and instead of putting waypoints to direct players where their next objective will be, Ghost of Tsushima allowed players to utilize the environmental elements to get a sense of where they need to head to n

Jack is responsible for Theresa losing her eyes. Then, throughout the game, Jack controls people that the Hero felt he could trust, like Maze, kills the Hero’s mother, and puts the Hero in terrible positions like making the Hero decide whether he kills his friend Whisper or even his own sister. His boss fights aren’t all that great though, which keeps him from having a higher spot on this l

This is Starrailcentral published an article area where Death Stranding shines, as the relationship between Sam Bridges, BB/Lou , and Cliff Unger create a similar relationship. Many consider Cliff to be a sympathetic character as a result, but the overdramatics pits this theme behind Red Dead Redemption 2 . The latter told a straightforward story, and while surprises and twists are welcome story mechanics, they don’t have the same effect on relationships as solid character developm

This is not to say that either game’s setting or story is necessarily better than the other, but Red Dead Redemption 2 ‘s setting captures its story in many ways that Death Stranding ‘s does not. Simply put, RDR2 could not happen anywhere else besides the Wild West, with the notions and ideas of that time constantly being at the forefront. Death Stranding , however, could really take place anywhere. Its social commentary, sure, applies to contemporary society, but they are also issues relevant to any society. Death Stranding could have been in a fictional world or any other country, and its story would still apply. In this regard, Red Dead Redemption 2 ‘s setting is much more prevalent and success where Death Stranding ‘s setting fa

Moreover, the Fable reboot hopefully returns much of the more comedic parts of the franchise’s universe. For instance, a lot of side quests in Fable become fan-favorites thanks to their entertaining nat

Fans of Fable still have contested feelings regarding Fable 3 . After all, the latter’s more industrialized setup didn’t seem to retain the innate “charm” of the previous games’ more “classic” medieval fantasy setting. In Fable 3 ‘s more industrialized Bowerstone highlighted Renaissance-era architecture, guns, and a much more serious tone. If Playground Games will indeed make this new Fable game a reboot, they might want to do away with the industrial sett
