Indtil videre har den ikoniske spilskaber Hideo Kojima kun afsløret få konkrete koncepter bag det kommende Death Stranding, og et af mysterierne handler om de såkaldte "reb" Kojima vil bruge til at designe spillets konflikter, hvorimod han mener at 99% af alle spil i dag bruger "pinde".
Nu har Hideo Kojima udforsket dette yderligere i et interview med PlayStation Blog.
Ifølge Kojima vil spillet indeholde noget kaldet "Strands", hvor spillere kan samarbejde om at besejre fjender, men det gør de åbenbart ude våben:
"Concerning the 'Strands', this is my 31st year in the games industry and I've been deep in action games across that time. In action games, generally, the player has a gun and plays against enemies in a single player environment - or they take it online and play against other players in a competitive environment. They join in together with guns - [laughs] it's almost always with guns - to take down a stronger opponent.
"In this game you can do that but I wanted to go a little deeper beyond that with something that doesn't focus on a weapon like a gun and that's what has a connection to the strand concept"
Hvad tror du Kojima mener med udtalelserne?
