So this is where Kojima got the idea for Death Stranding.

@1:58 look, kids, it's Hideo Kojima!

Your video, Kojima Productions' Death Stranding Reveal Trailer - E3 2016, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Yeah, that wasn't really directed at you, but more at the whole "give us an objective review" cry that's been going around.

For the record, my two favourite gaming sites are bluesnews (that's how I found the sift in the first place) and rockpapershotgun, for different reasons obviously.

The reason I like blues and the issue I have with news in video format is time. I can read a days page of news on blues in well under a minute, spawning tabs of interest as I go.

Your video is 6:25 long.
First up is the BAFTA awards: it's a fairly dry list with no commentary on it. If I want that information, a link to http://awards.bafta.org/award/2015/games is a much more succinct way of presenting it.

Then some news about Hawken: cool! Hawken is awesome and I've been hoping to hear more about it.

Elder Scrolls: don't care.
Nintendo licensing agreement: don't care
Nintendo's next console: don't care

Steam refund policy change: Interesting.
Kojima to leave Konami: interesting.

The point is not what I care about or don't care about, that's going to be different for everyone. The point is I have to fast forward to the news I'm interested in and as presented, it's an inherently bad format for that.

Maybe instead of one long video have a series of shorter videos linked via annotations? Or even timecodes in the description. That way, we can jump to the stories we're interested in.

HTH

^ I like the big Nintendo IP's (Mario, Zelda, and Metroid). I'm just disappointed that it's the same trio today that it was nearly 20 years ago. I would love to see an M-rated game from the same creative people. In theory the new Metroid is supposed to satisfy that demand, but I loved the Prime series, and would rather have Nintendo create a new IP if they want a first-party M-rated IP. I don't want Samus to become a brutal slayer-vixen.

I'm interested in the new Castlevania game they announced (because they say Kojima is part of the dev team!), but that will be for 360 and PS3, and not on Wii at all.

Castlevania is a 3rd party (Konami) IP anways.

Could this actually be a decent 3D Castlevania? In association with Kojima? My heart is all atwitter!

Aw nobody else liked?

Hideo Kojima Co-Stars and Cliffy B gets kicked in the face by Raiden?! I think it's gold!!

Y'know, as a game, I could not be less interested in Metal Gear Solid.
But its quirkiness and willingness to completely eviscerate the fourth
wall gives it a thumbs up in my book.. I was watching my brother play
it and found the cut scenes and bits of its humor to be highly
entertaining.
As for these EA battlefield games. Ehn. Most of
their attempts to inject some soul into this franchise seem very
artificial... I mean, I played 2142 a little with roomates, but
everything just seemed so generic and lifeless.
And they're
also developing a 'wacky cartoon' version of a wargame for the
franchise as well. Wonder where they could have gotten that bit of
inspiration from..



I agree. EA is all about re-hashing and spitting out games with no regard to quality, replayability, and support. They have produced quite a few games that could've been GREAT, but fell terribly short by buggy games filled with exploits and laughable mistakes.

The metal gear series isnt the bestest thing ever produced either, but it is well produced, extremely thought-out, and very entertaining. Hideo Kojima's work has been and will be copied for years to come.

Oh, Kojima! You so crazy! I completed MGS4 yesterday, and the man's willingness to not only break, but completely bulldoze and grind down the fourth wall to a fine powder is astounding.

I really hate this scene. It's not a bad scene, even though it wasn't touching to me. I hate it because of the insane fandom associated with FF7, a good RPG with a story even Hideo Kojima would be ashamed to writ. I hate the people who see it as the most poignant scene in a game, or in cinema ever. God, do I hate those people.

Hideo Kojima has really impressed alot of people with this, and Im guessing he will do so again when he shows Metal Gear Online. Metal Gear Solid 4 should be out early 2008 for PS3.
