Spoiler warning! Dying to BTs in Death Stranding has serious consequences to the game world, causing a massive destructive event resulting in a crater known as a Voidout. Here’s what that looks like in this gameplay clip. Death Stranding comes out on November 8, 2019 exclusively on PlayStation 4.
Death Stranding – Trailers VS Game Release Cinematics
Death Stranding has come a long way from it’s first 2016 trailer. Here is a comparison between some of Death Stranding’s earliest trailers to the final PS4 cinematics. The first trailer is the E3 2016 reveal trailer. Next, we compare the 2017 TGA trailer with the in-game cinematics of the game’s final release being played on a PS4 Pro.

What to Expect From Death Stranding’s First 10 Hours
It is no secret at this point that Death Stranding is a divisive game. Some have found central its cross-country walking and inventory-management mechanics frustrating, some have found them mediative and rewarding. What people seem to agree on, however, is that it takes things slowly in its first 10 hours, to the point that what Death Stranding actually is is still something of a mystery until it settles into more of a rhythm in its third act. If you’re confused as to what to expect during these ten hours, we’ve rounded up our unique experiences with them below to alleviate – or exacerbate! – any concerns.
Having previously never played more than a few hours of a Hideo Kojima game, I really had no idea what to expect of my first 10 hours in Death Stranding. They were a mixture of plenty of cutscenes and much slower-paced gameplay than I was expecting. But I reveled in that slowness, and I think it’s worth setting those expectations for what you might jump into. Because Sam Bridges has relatively few options in his arsenal at the start of Death Stranding, making a package delivery comes down to his ability to walk over rough terrain. The challenge is the journey, but so is the reward — after my first run or two, I loved taking a slow approach to plotting a best path from Point A to B, and then dealing with whatever curveballs the terrain, or BTs, threw my way. It’s slow, meditative, and not something that’s going to thrill you quite from the jump. Sidequest deliveries start to open up pretty early, but I’d advise against jumping on them at first — though I’ve spent most of my subsequent 40 hours with the game on those side deliveries, doing them at the start can be a bit too punishing. Death Stranding offers a slow trickle of new tools and mechanics that make those deliveries easier and, for me, more fun. – Jonathon Dornbush
Will Metal Gear Solid Fans Like Death Stranding?
As Hideo Kojima’s first game since his much-publicized departure from Konami, expectations have been high for Death Stranding, especially among Metal Gear Solid fans. While Death Stranding is a brand new game set in a brand new universe that’s attempting to launch a brand new genre, it’s not entirely fair to compare it to the franchise Kojima left behind, but the question remains: will Metal Gear Solid fans enjoy Death Stranding?
Well, that depends on which Metal Gear Solid game it’s being compared to. The core Metal Gear experience is tactical espionage action and/or operations, but each entry in the series has its own unique mechanics, systems, style, and quirks. Death Stranding is definitely more reminiscent of some Metal Gear games more than others. So, without spoiling anything from Kojima’s latest, we decided to break down which bits and pieces of the Metal Gear series we were reminded of while playing.
Death Stranding: Here’s How Long It Takes To Beat The Story
Death Stranding is a journey, but how long does it last? And is the real Death Stranding the friends we make along the way? If you want a detailed accounting of one man’s trek across post-apocalypse America, check out our full Death Stranding review. But if you simply want to know how long Death Stranding’s story will keep you going, here are the story completion times of four separate playthroughs.
Tristan Ogilvie, Reviewer
By the time the final end credits had finished rolling on my Death Stranding playthrough, I had been playing for just over 42 hours. After that, I returned to the post-credits section to take on a number of optional orders I’d missed the first time out of curiosity, which I invested a further 10 hours into to bring my total time up to 52 hours. I get the sense that if you really wanted to unlock all of the tool upgrades and sunglasses for Sam and so on, there are probably dozens more hours of deliveries to go on top of that, but I have no real interest in any of that now that the pull of the story is no longer there to keep me on the hook.
