Hideo Kojima spoke about the likes in Death Stranding and future sequels of the game

Well-known game designer and screenwriter Hideo Kojima gave several interviews in which he revealed new details of Death Stranding and touched on the topic of sequels. According to the head of Kojima Productions, the studio's next game will only be the first in the series. And this is necessary in order to gain a foothold in a new genre called the Strand Game.

В interview Hideo Kojima explained to GameSpot that Death Stranding could not do without sequels: “When creating a new project, the most difficult thing is to make sequels, then the genre can gain a foothold. The first game after the release will be analyzed, it will find positive and negative points. I think the sequels will help in that direction." The studio director also hinted at some kind of intermediate game in the series: “Perhaps 1,5 will come first, and then the second part, so that users remember the new genre. But there are many other projects, including series, some of which I have to take part in. Employees regularly show drafts, but with one body it is physically impossible to be in time everywhere.

And the Game Informer portal talked with Hideo Kojima on the topic of likes in Death Stranding. At Tokyo Game Show 2019, an executive called the user rating system "innovative." However, it turned out that she does not give any bonuses: “Employees told me: “Hideo, no one will understand this. Except for the Japanese players.” And I said, "That's why I want users to do this." Then the objection followed: “It is necessary to somehow reward such things, with gratitude or points.” But it would be no different from other games. Then I said: “Liking is a manifestation of sincere love.”

Death Stranding will release on November 8, 2019 on PS4.
