Will del Toro, Kojima, and Reedus Present Death Stranding News at The Game Awards 2017?

Death Stranding, better known as the game that never would have existed if Konami hadn’t canceled Silent Hills, is a mystery locked in an enigma, wrapped in a secret. We have no idea what the game is about or how it will play, but rumor has it we might finally receive news about the game during The Game Awards 2017.
Yesterday, Geoff Keighley posted a tweet that Hideo Kojima will present an award at The Game Awards 2017. Moreover, according to Keighley, famed director Guillermo del Toro will join Kojima on stage. This news is all the Internet needed to come to the conclusion the two will give the gaming audience a long-awaited taste of Death Stranding at the awards ceremony. All we need now is Norman Reedus, the third member of the Silent Hills/Death Stranding trifecta, to join del Toro and Kojima at the awards and this rumor is all but confirmed. Oh, wait, Keighly recently confirmed Reedus will also present an award. Fingers crossed, people.
Aside from two cryptic teaser trailers, we know next to nothing about Death Stranding. Sure, the videos are dripping with symbolism that give the vaguest hints to the plot (par for the course when it comes to Kojima) but we don’t know anything about gameplay mechanics. Kotaku’s summary of “action game with an open world” could mean literally anything, from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain stealth action to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt RPG action. Heck, maybe gamers will be able to hijack tanks and planes Grand Theft Auto style and blow up buildings Just Cause style, perhaps with some Pikmin-esque minion controlling mechanics. We just don’t know, which is why the rumor is so tantalizing.
So far, Kojima, del Toro, and Reedus have been silent on this rumor, so we cannot confirm nor deny anything. Maybe they will present another trailer or maybe a release date. For all we know nothing will come of this, and Kojima, del Toro, and Reedus were selected to artificially increase viewership in the hopes of witnessing a live Death Stranding announcement. We will have to wait until December 7th, but my fingers are crossed for some Death Stranding gameplay footage.

The release of Atlas Fallen was delayed until August in order to provide the “best possible version”

Atlas Fallen, an upcoming action role-playing game, has been delayed, according to publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Deck 13. This occurs shortly after a well-received public demonstration, during which new pictures and previews as well as the first gameplay were revealed. The team wants to give the game a bit more time in the oven, even though it appears to be quite promising. The game, originally scheduled to debut on May 16th, will instead do so on August 10th. Deck 13 announced the delay on social media, saying that it was necessary to “give the game some extra time so that we can provide the finest version of Atlas Fallen.”

The company said that it will reveal additional information about the game in the “early summer,” along with “new gameplay videos and your first look at drop-in co-op gameplay.” Atlas Fallen will also be released with a German audio option in addition to the English one. We have high hopes for this because delays are generally seen as positive things these days, and the game already looks great. Are you anticipating this one?

Game on! During just two days, Resident Evil 4 sales reached 3 million

Resident Evil 4 is performing quite well for itself, which shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Everyone agrees that the remake is a great version of a classic, and it has been a critical and financial success from the start. The game’s publisher, Capcom, announced in a brief statement that it had sold more than 3 million copies in its first two days on the international market. So, to compare, Resident Evil Village reached the same milestone in just four days, whereas Resident Evil 2: Remake sold just as many copies in its first week. In contrast, within five days of its release, Resident Evil 3 sold 2 million copies. Hence, the most recent entry is trending somewhat earlier than the others. Capcom also released an update on the total number of units shipped over the whole series, which presently stands at 135 million units and is accurate until December 31, 2022. It’s difficult to disagree with the publisher when it refers to Resident Evil as its “flagship game series” at this point.

The Last of Us PC Version’s Joke: Joel’s Screwed Up Face

We are not exactly certain how Naughty Dog intended The Last of Us: Part I’s PC release to turn out. It’s having to put out fire after fire from people on social media instead of happy tweets and lovely Picture Mode dumps. Technically speaking, the PC options are allegedly a disaster, as seen by the more than 4,000 “mainly unfavorable” user evaluations that have been consistently posted on Steam. Yet, for the coder, this trending tweet feels like the undesired icing on top. Anyone may use it as a punchline to illustrate how broken the PC version is. As freelance writer Kyle Campbell has illustrated here, Joel has undoubtedly experienced better times on Steam.

It’s not exactly the viewpoint Joel will want for future selfies, although we don’t know if the character model appears this way for the entire game. The end of the world has affected him more than usual, as evidenced by his facial hair, which appears to last for days. A truly sad sight. Let’s hope that he has some better days ahead of him. Of course, if you’re playing the game on a powerful computer, Joel doesn’t look like this. Nonetheless, you’d want to assume the port would look at least a little bit better than this because The Last of Us: Part I was even touted with the Steam Deck in a promotional advertisement. Naughty Dog has asked PC customers to submit support queries on its website via Twitter in order to collect comments and identify the problems with this specific version. The developer will want to address these issues right away because they ran flawlessly on the PS5. Many complaints lament frequent crashes, shader problems, and generally subpar performance. Instead of just being a straightforward version that runs on the personal computer, the studio even went so far as to refer to this transfer as being “for PC.” As a result, anticipate thick, quick flows of patches.
