Death Stranding 2's Scoring Well With Test Reviewers, But Kojima Isn't Satisfied

Death Stranding 2's Scoring Well With Test Reviewers, But Kojima Isn't Satisfied https://ift.tt/l8qQjAT Death Stranding was a polarizing game when it was first released, but for the upcoming sequel , previews and early reviews for the game have largely been positive. In a recent interview, game director Hideo Kojima explained how he was happy to see test audiences react more favorably to Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, but he also explained how this had left him feeling conflicted. "Sony is pleased, of course, but I do wish I was a bit more controversial," Kojima said to Edge Magazine (via VGC ). "Blockbuster films need an 80% approval rating--I don't want to make games like that. I'm not interested in appealing to the mass market or selling millions of copies.

"The game has been built from the beginning as a 30fps experience focusing on visuals and ambiance, but somehow we have managed to include a solid Performance mode. Our Northlight engine scales well in this case though, lower resolution yet the game looks amazing. One of the big challenges from a performance standpoint on the Saga side is that the Pacific Northwest has a lot of foliage, trees, (transparent objects), expensive lighting (that looks amazing) amongst many other features that make it really challenging on the framerate."

Typically, Quality and Performance modes on consoles offer distinct visual performances with certain compromises. Quality modes usually allow for a game to be rendered at 4K and 30fps--sometimes with ray tracing enabled--while Performance modes juggle a 60fps output with a resolution that dynamically scales according to what's happening on the screen. There are some exceptions to this rule, like the upcoming Marvel's Spider-Man 2 being a prime example.
