Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is more focused on war than its predecessor – which was mainly interested in being an open world delivery sim – and director Hideo Kojima says that she used jump from clostrophobic horror nightmare alien for action -federal sequel aliens as a reference.
Speaking in the latest issue of Edge Magazine – on sale now – The famous sports director said that he pointed his team to Ridley Scott’s classic horror film and James Cameron’s very different sequel, which is after writing the first draft script for Death Stranding 2.
“The first Ridley Scott film was so frightening,” he said. “People had faces and demons burst from the chest, and no one first knew what it was all.”
He continued to explain that by the time the credit was rolled, the mysterious foreign threat showed his face properly, the rules of the universe were understood by the audience, and the terror was a little less scary. “When James Cameron came to create a sequel, aliens, he took a very smart decision about the film, not about the horror. It gave a new dimension to the story, which was unfamiliar.”
This is a feeling that inspires Kojima for her second time to shock. We have some kind of understanding of how BTS works, so now it’s time, or at least shift, bets. “This is what I wanted to do with this sequel. Everyone understands the world of death strands, so now we have launched a fight to give it this new dimension.”
Norman Reids of Death Stranding and The Walking Dead does not think “anyone can understand”
