Death Stranding - Hideous Kojumbo does it again

Wesker said:
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.

With Silent Hill you can at least argue that looking like "some guy" is perfectly serviceable for the tone and atmosphere that the game wants. But Death stranding is way too far up it's own ass to go with mundane, I mean, Higgs never ever ever looked even mildly threatening once he dropped the mask, Troy Baker's soy face with mascara is not the image of dread for anybody. Clifford looked a bit more imposing and even then he looked too skinny.

And well, the RE engine has an extra level of uncanny to it... All characters in DMC5 looked like shit and the sad part is that it wasn't intended. In SF6 someone like Zangief looks like a million bucks, while Chun just looks weird and almost alien.

Why are people kvetching about an anti-gun stance like its new in Kojima's work.

I mean, Higgs never ever ever looked even mildly threatening once he dropped the mask, Troy Baker's soy face with mascara is not the image of dread for anybody.

Which is precisely why he wore the mask and had such a theatrical personality. Higgs' mundane personality and role is why he was so willing to go with the boss lady's role, and adapt a new persona.

Like, give the writing shit all you want, but that isn't even subtext. It's the actual, given reason.

I'd rather see Debra Wilson in my game than Hunter Schafer.

Well, why not both but with different Hunter?

God I've forgotten how fucking bad DMCV looked and I tried to block it out like a molestation.

The weird thing about RE engine is the faces in the RE2make looked really good and then everything afterwards looked like dogshit. Not sure what's up with that.
 
The guy that co wrote MGS2 with Kojimbo is still at Konami so if they're smart they'll hand the franchise over to him so we can get good games and Kojimbo can make all the trooncore walking sims he wants.

Oh no not them again.

I have hated them SO FUCKING MUCH since they were shilling Dragon's Dogma 2.

I remember waaaaay back in the day I used to enjoy their Youtube channel because they brought some obscure trivia about Capcom games to light. Since then? First finding out from the Farms they were actually a transgender, then them being a DD2 shill, now this.
 
The original had the same build up as this, and it sold like egg farts. And it took them shitting it onto the PS5 and PC for them to make their money back.

This looks like it's got twice the budget and he's had six years since the last turd. So when this one fails, is it Sony's issue and then he gets fired again? Did they hold him back?

Also, Death Stranding still had people bite since it's "the new Kojima game, unshackled!". You don't get to play that card twice in a row, specially when your incredibly unshackled release is "divisive" at best.

Sony gave the IP back to Kojimbo. Even those faggots know that Death Stranding doesnt make money

Will YongYea show up in some way? I remember him being a pretty big Kojima shill before shilling Cyberpunk and getting into dubbing (badly).
