6. Death Stranding
See that tortured expression on Norman Reedus’ face? We’ve all felt that way before, after the cancellation of Silent Hills, for example. The spiritual successor to the lost survival horror title dabbles heavily in the surreal, taking place on an uncharted location and featuring a charismatic fetus with mysterious abilities.
Considering the team behind it, expectations are high, and though we haven’t quite worked out what exactly it is that one does in Death Stranding, we are open to the possibilities. The general consensus from the bewildered masses is that the main character is some kind of futuristic deliveryman, and that sounds just fine. It’s about time someone made a new Paperboy, after all.
In all seriousness, Death Stranding is unlike anything else we have seen at E3, and ought to boldly break new boundaries in storytelling and atmosphere. We’ll have some of what Kojima’s having, if we may.
