Death Stranding - Hideous Kojumbo does it again

It's really odd to see people fearing that a Hideous Kojumbo game will be retarded and gay. Metal Gear 2 had a boss fight consisting of an elderly man trying to hump Snake to death before he could fire a rocket at his own back, and - I don't know about everyone else, but - everything since has been more of the same, except more ridiculous where allowed by advances in technology.

Being a PS5 exclusive it's dammed to sell like shit. It will eventually release on other platforms but there will be zero hype behind that so it will have to sell on it's own merits and if I learned anything after playing a loaned copy of Death Stranding is that I'm never ever playing anything by Kojima ever again and I don't think I'm the only one.

Now if somebody that didn't have their head so far up their ass did the package delivery properly and focused on the gameplay, it could be the dad game to end all dad games.

Is there a thread about her? I am morbidly curious to see what strain of nignoggery she is suffering from.

Dont worry, someone will be along from her defense force with the classic "Actually, her grandkids like videos games and thats why she is in half of them, its cool, she is cool. Its ok to have an ugly bug eyed nigger in so many games, its all ok" etc etc and so on.

For anyone curious: Debra Wilson is in the game because she voiced Crying Wolf in MGS4. She and Phil LaMarr have been friends since at least their days working on Mad TV together and, as LaMarr's VO career took off, he's been the foot in the door to get Wilson a number of roles. LaMarr was Vamp in MGS2 and 4; so it wasn't much of a surprise to see her name. Debra Wilson is also completely insane; and a lolcow in her own right.

In MGS4 she at least looked like a normal person. She also was not used for every damn game that had a black woman in it like today. Kojimbo should have used a robot for her doctor character (would have been more fitting for the weirdness of the game) and cast her as a VO only in DS2.

There's something funny about the idea that Kojima was shackled to MGS for years, and now all he can put out is weird for the sake of weird garbage that needs Metal Gear REX, Cyborg Ninja and Solid Snake stand in's to get any sort of attention.

Seriously, it's the only reason I even heard this trailer came out. Everyone talking about Snake being in it.

Kojima DESPERATELY needs a tard wrangler.

Back then developers were still sane, so they used good-looking models for the characters, and then had them be voiced by talented VAs. Hell, in MGS4 one person was the model, another did the mocap, and the bald nigger did the VA.

Nowadays they have the VA do everything because they think they're fucking Hollywood.

I'd rather see Debra Wilson in my game than Hunter Schafer. It's annoying she is the go-to pick for "oh shiz, we need some representation in our games" because it's getting boring, but at least Kojima worked with her before for non DEI reasons (I assume). It also looks like they kept it closer to her actual appearance which is not that massively bugeyed. And at least they are not uglifying the entire female cast.

The trailer seemed like the usual Kojima fever dream. I'm sure the story will be expertly told through a billion text documents and overly long cut scenes.

The point of that is why she does the job. It's a paycheck as far as she's concerned with the extra perk that she thinks her grandkids will find it neat that her face is plastered in the most obvious bombs of the last few years. The problem is the people treating bug face like if she is the sacred totem of motion captured faced and roles and constantly dialing her number.

No, it's not cool that Debra is fucking everywhere, but I have no personal beef with Debra. Last I heard she never went into an antiwhite spiel during an interview.

That's because Crying Wolf's face model is not Debra Wilson, it's someone called Mieko Rye. Googling her brings up some photos of her bald (she had breast cancer) and she still looks pretty. Hell, IIRC Death Stranding 1 had many characters modeled after someone but voiced by someone else. Is the DEI clause forcing them to put Debra's face or something?

The official excuse is that the face animations work better when the actual voice actor's face is used. We know this is absolute horseshit since something like Kratos looked perfectly fine when talking without the need of making him look like his voice actor. It also doesn't help that they love to hit whatever the traced face model is with the ugly stick when it's a woman, like those devil chins that Outlaws or SpiderMan 2 had.

I personally find the whole concept of having to face scan the voice actor retarded. They are voice actors for a reason after all. But then the industry is incestuous as all hell since it's always the same 5 people voicing almost everything.

Kojumbo hates America and is a full blown commie, so yes. Already injecting an anti gun ad in a fucking trailer lol.

Further cements why I tend to hate his fans more than him, since they all buttplug every single thing this guy puts out like it's gospel.

I was hearing this copium last night on a stream that DS1 wasn't what it could be because of budget and limitations by Sony lol. There's always a goalpost that needs to be moved for this faggot.

no one animates by hand anymore, even if you go with a "default" you'd still would need to adapt it. just mocap it all in one go and be done with it.

One of the reasons death Stranding felt so fucking lame compared to the Metal Gear games was how all of the actors were one to one and they looked like faggots dressed for halloween. Imagine some of the insane shit like Vamp or Vulkan Raven looking exactly like their voice actors. The "larger than life" aspect is shot and killed the moment everything looks exactly like the voice actor. I get that it's cheaper, but it also makes everything look so much worse.

Basing characters on the appearance of the actors has gone back as early as Silent Hill 2 as far as I'm aware. But even then they someone changed them to not be identical.

I'd rather characters be idealized than look like someone I already know. The RE engine has an uncanny valley with everyone.
