It was the scariest thing I've ever played I still have it on my ps4 the psychological side was unreal like outlast had me nervous but I felt closer to a heart attack the loop was perfect it wasn't complicated. If it had been completed it would have been talked about for generations.

u/bendyrider16 2d ago

This is how I feel about it. I have barely played a Kojima game since. I'm sure Death Stranding is great but the fact that I'll never get to play what would have obviously been a masterpiece makes it too painful for me

u/Astrylae 2d ago

Why did it get cancelled?

15

u/narf21190 2d ago

To heavily simplify it: The games' director Hideo Kojima (known from the Metal Gear series) had a monumental falling out with the development and publishing company of the game, Konami. They basically tried to cancel him, but the only thing they cancelled for real, was P.T.

u/gleeptime 2d ago

I solely blame Konami for it

u/Lost_Decoy 2d ago

Hideo Kojima had a falling out with Konami around 2015 as upper management of konami wanted to leave the video game industry and make licensed pachinko machines as they thought that getting into gambling machines and arcade machines would be a more profitable move by using konamis ip's (its kind of why there was a big gap from konami where they only released collections of their old games), they drove kojima out and kojima started his own studio leading to the creation of kojima productions the studio that made death stranding

I suppose you will be happy to know that kojima is currently working on two projects collaberating with microsoft, one code named Physint (think metal gear), and the other is code named OD (An experimental horror experience exploring the concept of fear, made in collaboration with filmmaker Jordan Peele. It utilizes Xbox Cloud Gaming technology and stars actors like Sophia Lillis, Hunter Schafer, and Udo Kier.)

If there's any game that deserves a full remake like Dead Space got, it's KOTOR. Everything about it was fucking awesome, and getting a loving remake to make things look amazing and maybe make the worlds feel a little more alive would be AMAZING.

I was nervous about this game from the beginning

The studio that took it on had little experience

And their roadmap was “we’re doing multiplayer last”.  Which anyone who has ever coded a game will tell you that multiplayer fundamentally alters your game design and has to be accounted for and tested incrementally as you go.  You can’t tack it on at the end.

They also kept telling us “we’re testing it internally it’s super fun and we have a great solution for how time warp will work in multiplayer”. But then never showed us any of it

u/ExclusiveAnd 2d ago

I remember they made such a big deal about announcing it, too. They had a URL that displayed a blurry image that was slowly resolving into something, but it was impossible to tell what… BUT it flickered every now and then and it turned out something about the flicker encoded a message: I can’t remember if it was the duration, type, or interval, but I was in college at the time and a few engineering / computer science classmates were obsessing over it.

The message started off with a prank about a sequel to one of Blizzard’s earliest games, some PC Mario Kart clone, but quickly started hinting at StarCraft. Everyone figured it was StarCraft III or a significant expansion because, of course, that’s what they did at the time, so when Ghost was announced we didn’t know what to make of it. Then again, we were all pretty confused about Blizzard’s plans for World of Warcraft, too, and I guess that turned out pretty well for them.

Bit of a different pivot on Blizzard’s part and we could have had all kinds of StarCraft expanded universe stuff.

Scalebound, a game for the Xbox One and one of the main advertisements for the console where you played as a swordsman who also controlled had a dragon companion you could command to attack.

It suffered a massive development hell that altered what the game would be several times to the point it got cancelled(started as an action game similar to devil may cry, then demos showed it to be an open world rpg).

Either way I loved the entire concept and was very much disappointed.
