- How do you encapsulate the Death Stranding experience in one cutscene? Legendary game developers Hideo Kojima and Yoji Shinkawa walk us through an early scene from the game, and discuss what inspired them when designing Norman Reedus's character, Sam Porter Bridges, the unlikely origins of BTs, and what they hope fans will take away from the game.

Legends! Kojima is one of the only people in gaming industry who still isn't afraid to take risks and make something different, Yoji Shinkawa is such a talented artist too.
I mean, taking risks is easy when you're spending other people's money.
@@Highwind452 Actually taking money from a huge publisher like sony to use for the budget is a way riskier thing to do than to just fund it themselves. Publishers don't do charity, they want profit.
Yes Kojima is one of the few who will take risks and I respect that, I play Death Stranding and I do like the game, Kojima always said in the beginning that Death Stranding is about connecting and using Stick and the Rope. I knew this game was not going to be like Metal Gear but for some reason some Gamer's forget quick.
@@mohamadmousavi no it is not riskier. it is publisher's money and if he loses all the money it isn't his money anyway. there is literally zero risks for hideo kojima's money.
@@MacMan2152 No you're completely wrong. considering the cut that a publisher takes from the profit, if a game does poorly it puts the studio in even worse situation than if they self funded and self published it. since not all the money is going to the studio it's very likely that commercial failure would lead to the closure of the studio. The studio might've earned enough to sustain itself if they didn't share profit with a third party publisher.
Why do you think most studios that are closed down are the ones that had a deal with a Publisher and failed to meet the sales expectation? because it's riskier. this is also why so many of the studios that felt comfortable staying indie before (like Double Fine and Insomniac) are agreeing to be merged with bigger studios, cause being an indie developer that does deals with publishers is one of the worst position a studio could be at.
Kojima: I am easily scared
Also Kojima: *makes PT*
i think thats why PT was scrapped lol
@@dudeimgeorge No, it is because of Konami's shift from AAA development to mobile games. Kojima stated for several times now that he is easily scared by horror but he also thinks that this gives him a good understanding of how horror works effectively.
kojima working with del toro would save silent hill and the genre of horror
Fun fact, Kojima himself was scared to play test PT
@jakeyboy851 he didnt do it alone.... infact he didnt do any of this shit alone. i hate that people praise Kojima so much. he's nothing more than a talented story-teller. The people who bring his dreams to life deserve the real praise
They bought the cheapest 3D scanner and they had one of the crew's PET crabs used as a sacrifice.
A sacrifice for the chiral network. How meta.
They could have just gotten a plain crab at the local market instead.
@@Kaidantonio333 Yeah that's what I didn't get. They're based out in Shinagawa and could've easily taken the Yamanote to Ueno to pick up a crab.
It is kinda cute though that they at least gave the pet crab a funeral though.
@@TSDT it's Tokyo, there's seafood everywhere, Shinagawa is right near the port.
But nvm lol I get the joke.
@Berserker no. What he says in Japanese makes it pretty clear that some member of staff had a pet crab that they brought in and knowingly (and regrettably) had killed in the process of 3d scanning the body.
I doubt they would've held a mini-funeral service for the crab if it were already dead.
it was not a pet crab :D it was a crab that someone brought in to the studio that's all he says. having in mind that crabs are very common dish in Japan, i presume they just bought one at the market. The finest specimen of course :)
When I started to play this game: What's wrong with you, Kojima?
When I get addicted in making deliveries and building roads in this game: What's wrong with me??
There’s nothing more satisfying than finishing a major road and getting thousands of likes from appreciative strangers
honestly, nothing's wrong with you. the game is simply just too much fun!
Yoji Shinkawa hasn't aged a day since 1998. XD
God I miss that year
lol
They drink child blood for extended physical youth age
They actually look younger the more they age.
same with Hideo
2 months after Death Stranding releases
*Kojima:" Kept ya waiting, huh?"
Everyone: Good Job, Hideo, age hasn't slowed you down one bit
Details, details and more details. This is kojima and shinkawa
D E T A I L S
Some neat insights in this! I like how the hand strands of the titan came about due to some bug.
That part was wild to find out. Because the cutscene had a unique flow, the atmosphere, sfx, and tone. It felt tension, intense, and as if anything was possible.
But who knew a bug in animation could create something so magical & terrifying?
And during the boss fight you can see little hands on the ends of those strands.
Creepers from Minecraft were also from a bug. It was originally a pig who spawned incorrectly (verticle instead of horizontal body). Creator changes up the skin and ran with it. XD
It's so heartwarming and inspirational or me to see creators (whether writers, filmmakers, musicians, etc) whose works can be abstract or truly artistic and expressive... and they're just normal, nice people.
I know what you mean. Makes their artwork even better imo
I've never seen Yoji Shinkawa on screen for so long.
Its rare to see him in english based interview
"When he says he wanted you to know there were other players around, you just couldn't see them. Like when people pass away you're still connected." He seems like the nicest guy. He's such a genius and this is the first single player game that has kept my attention for more than a couple of hours. I raced through this game because the story was so brilliantly done and the gameplay was excellent. I really hope he makes a lot more games before something happens to him because I believe once this man is gone we will lose the chance to have amazing games like this.
something else that makes this particularly touching is that kojima's dad died when he was 13, and his mother died partway through this game's production.
"By the end the tears will be real"
Kojima summed up Death Stranding in one sentence.
Everyone should play this game, it is probably the best game of the past 15 years.
Curious what made it such a good game? I haven’t been a gamer for years, but I appreciate Kojima’s vision and loved all his MGS games.
This game is so addicting , idk why . But i just cant stop putting hours on it.
Gtfo! The games lame son
@@gaditetheghost1953 i thought that as well but as i put more hours to it , it kept bringing me back
DWE yap! That was me for the first few hours.
@@gaditetheghost1953 Not for me hahaha, i already ended it but i keep farming Legend of Legends, i love this game.
@@gaditetheghost1953 Most likely you didn't even play and just shitting on it mindlessly. Shut the fuck up with your bullshit.
Kojima us really a brilliant but down to earth guy.
Yeah his homies really need to stop trying to deify the guy....he's just a normal dude
He is a pretentious prick that thinks he is a god. Best Regards, a kojima fan
He really isn’t that down to earth, but it doesn’t matter because of how innovative and creative he is.
Down to earth but he’s a “snake” for what he did to David Hayter
OsSloth
I talked to people that work at Sony LA and they worked with Kojima on mocap of Death Stranding. He said that Kojima was super chill to work with and a really nice dude in person. I was really glad hearing that.
I'm starting to become convinced that japanese men have somehow gotten posession over eternal youth
More healthy food and better genetics than western countries
Better genetics?
Its their diet.
@@conorfoley5096 better genetics. 😉
More convinced its the diet and not genetics
"It's very scary so i haven't seen it"
says the guy who made p.t
Been two weeks since I ended Death Stranding, and I still can’t stop thinking about it. So interesting to see the thought process behind it from the minds of its creators. Amazing
Heres to hoping kojima can go forward with silent hills? I can dream
@@Carnage7209 never give up on those dreams
Me too
@@Carnage7209 That would be great and I thought the same thing for metal gear but after playing and really enjoying death stranding, I would love to see what else he can come up with in a new IP.
Hey..dont stop..help us build the road and zipline..haha
"but it will turn into real tears!"
Yeah, I noticed for about one hour today while finishing Death Stranding.
That was such an awesome scene. It's cool to look back at it now and know exactly what's going on in it.
Mad props to Kojima-san. 🙏🏻 There aren't much developers like him who would dare to make something different and unique for us gamers to experience.
Warphead totally agree
asdf zxcvb Reviews don’t sadly. I really don’t get the hate for this game. The game gets a bit repetitive and drawn out near the end, but that alone can’t be the reason why so many people are trashing it
asdf zxcvb That’s a great point! You’ve got me thinking now that if the hype surrounding this game wasn’t so ludicrous people might appreciate it more. The game technically is independent, but so many people assumed it was an epic AAA action game similar to all the other shooters today. This game tried something different, and I respect the shit out of that
Warphead
I didn’t like Death Stranding as a whole, either the gameplay or the story.
BUT what you wrote there is true. Kojima and his team have some of the deepest understanding of what art is and how it can be used. The man himself understands gaming like anyone else. The message, themes, and art direction of Death Stranding are exceptional and unique, the cinematography is better than 80% of today’s cinema.
I hope Kojima-san and his team will learn from DS’s mistakes and go back to the right mix between subversive and accessible/fun MGS had.
It's so crazy the amount of thought and analyzation he puts into his own work. His creation process is so meticulously detailed.
11:32 so sad the translation missed his humor here.
He says “I guess it’s similar to the proportion of yes or no rate to this game”
I know my English isn’t so good but I’m just so sad the translation missed too much of what he said
When Kojima joking about homage to the Gear of War, I wonder if he meant God of War. Because they talked about 1 cut camera before that.
pejantan merana
He mentioned Gears of War because the face of the dead body (covered with chiral crystal) looks like the logo of gears of war series. He said it’s homage just as a joke
And that's why I am learning Japanese. I do not trust these subs. Ruins the anime too sometimes I feel.
pejantan merana
God of War didn’t come up with the one cut camera trick in modern 3D video games though. MGSV, Kojima’s previous game, had the same concept. (And used it better imo)
Thanks for that translation !
The music in that scene is so haunting and represents the feel of the visuals so well, this game deserves an Oscar.
Kojima says he may eventually make films, he has great instincts for cinematic moments so I really hope he does
the little tune when the second guy tries to shoot himself but gets yanked up...
arbear That’s the sheeyit. Gives all of us chills, I think. I haven’t seen anything so scary in years.
I've always liked the way Kojima-San talks, he talks in a humble way, trying to be as understanding as possible, and is genuinely excited about his art and wants to give us the absolute best hes got every time he creates something, he never wants to take shortcuts or make compromises, he knows players hates bugs, so he does extensive testing himself to make sure its a finished product. Also gotta understand hes been making games for more than 30 years, before the internet blew up, back when once a game was released, that was the final product. Even if one doesnt like DS, supporting companies like Kojima Productions is important for the future of gaming. If we let Kojima Productions fail, the evil money-greedy companies like Konami, Rockstar, Blizzard, EA, Activision and many others will win.
Some of the few developers who still care about their players
Wow, this is really incredible! This really came from a place of passion and insight. I absolutely loved seeing how his thought process worked in making the scene! Also, it's absolutely astounding to hear that it started with only a crew of three people, and then ended up winning best narrative in the game awards! I feel so proud! This game has single-handedly made me an immense fan of his and I cannot wait to see what he makes next!
The reason of why the game is successful. He put his mind and heart into it
Successful? Who said the walking simulator was a success..
@@ankansaha8588 It being the game with the most sold units in Japan alone for this generation seems like a pretty strong tell
@@ankansaha8588 being the NPC he is putting down the obligatory "walking simulator comment"
@Ankan Saha you’re moron
@@ankansaha8588 This video isn't for 9 year old Fortnite players, you won't understand what its about. Please go away.
You what's strange? I intuitively felt the themes while I played the game, but I was never able to properly articulate them. I felt, "There's something about this game that I'm resonating with," but I didn't know what it was. Watching this video was like finally being able to see the image in the mosaic.
I really have the impression that Kojima had this game in his mind for many years before making it because it only took 3 years and Konami just wouldnt let him do it because they only wanted MGS. In this video alone we see how much passion he had
I read somewhere that Kojima wanted to finish MGS franchise before V but maybe Konami forced him to continue. Also the man said he never run out of ideas.
Kojima is one of the most wonderful minds of our time, I am so grateful for everything he gave us
YAY! Audio Log returns with a bang of an episode!
Yoji Shinkawa has such a big talent. I'm so happy he is with Kojima Produktion. I love his art style. It's perfect ♥
Kojima is an absolute mastermind. The game was easily a masterpiece.
Not really
@@Omniayt yes really
Simply amazing. Thank you folks for this amazing glimpse into the masterpiece
To me Death Stranding is my GOTY. Beautiful and amazing game, something that I've never experienced before. Kojima will be a great director.
Me too, DS is my GOTY 2019
Me too! Followed closely by Disco Elysium.
Great game . Was my game of the year 👏🏾👏🏾
The largest losses in gaming history, you pick well 😂😂😂
Constructive Cuntery wym 😳
@@DevilsAvocado69 losses? Surely you dont mean financial..
@@andreayton1993 Was beat in sales by days gone. It has less returning player percentage than no mans sky and is thought to be probably the most disappointing game of 2019. Not just me watch mojo....
Constructive Cuntery how bout I watch the game on my tv and form my own opinion on it
Funny to hear that even Kojima is scared to death by P.T.
Respect for kojima
Just recently been having sam drink beer and I always drink 3 for the extra energy bar, but if you drink all 5 and check on BB he stumbles and kida throws A drunk fit, even loses balance. People probably know this, but I just found out and when you shower you can see all the cans he kicked
Easily one of the best games I have ever played! And easily my favoruite kojima game!
7:11 Kojima: I could't properly test P.T. because it was too scary
wait what? hahahaha
200 hrs and I cannot stop playing this game. Send help
same! not 200 but close, stuck in chapter 8 completing side quests, most of them at "legend of legends" level to make trophies, hopefully (oddly enough, I still only got bronze ones)
@@French_Canadian_Pea_Soup 60$ is not expensive lol
@@French_Canadian_Pea_Soup it was a typo not a joke.
Same here. I spent hours climbing up the mountain peak just because I wanted to. It's pretty creepy when you get to the top and look down. Also, this game needs Wingsuits, for base jumping. I wanted to jump off the mountain so badly.
50% 50 hours in. Im slowing down so i can completly savor every last bit of it.
It was phenomenal! Thank you Kojima Productions.
These guys are brilliant. Death Stranding is a masterpiece.
I disagree..r.i.p mgs. Fuck kojima
Franki glvsses ok Boomer. Here’s the attention you wanted
What makes it a masterpiece?
Omnia YT the story, the characters, the art design, the risk that was taken in making a game in this style. Either you like it, or you don’t. Same thing with his past games.
@@watcherdev kojima masterpiece was mgs2, 3 & 4. DS just don't hype as much of those 3 games.
WOW, This level details for just a trailer...
He truly believes games are an art form.
RESPECT KOJIMA
This game is a masterpiece. The hype was real, so good
Oh my god i totally didnt notice the blood foreshadowing, i thought this was steam because its cold, kinda how your breath would steam when its cold.
Also, love how hes refering to Lou as "he" 😉
Keep on keeping on. 👍🏽
Fantastic;
Fantastic VideoGame and Fantastic Video
Thank you GameSpot!
Omg They buried the crab T.T.... respect
this game inspired and help me so much it was so fun seeing them talking about the trailer qwq
I WANT MORE
With Kojima there's always a subtext to his work which beckons the viewer into this exquisite world. I'm not a gamer but I love watching videogames, it's a medium that's surpassing mainstream cinema in every imaginable way. Death Stranding, Stray, Forbidden West, Silent Hill,
Such an amazing game/experience
I don't care what anyone says you can't deny this was a game with a ton of fucking effort and care put in. Cheers to Kojima Productions.
i have only played one metal gear and that was phantom pain didnt finish it but really want to get back into it when i free up some gaming time. so Kojima and Shinkawa dont have that nostalgia glasses when looking at them. but now that im playing death stranding. these guys are genius's! so talented and i cant wait to see what else they have in store
loved this game awesome story and damn tose graphics are second to none
I could watch Kojima a whole day long.
the subtitles left out so many interesting information and their humor. Like they bought the cheapest camera. And that crab, actually was a pet of one of their staff's. (Shinkawa san said that staff loved his crab lol)
The boat scene with quiet reminds me quite abit of the boat scenes with Rikku and Yuna in FFX. A game where we venture to the world of the dead, to connect the past and guide the souls of the dead to the farplane.
Hideo and Yoji are like PB & Jelly, great own their own but are delicious put together. Anyone that grew up in the 90s and 00s know these 2 are legends.
小島監督の創造する世界観。それを具現化する新川さん。Death strandingは独特な世界のつくりなので文化的、科学的な裏付けがないと成り立たない。仕事の丁寧さ、情熱が作品から強く感じられました。
Kojima: I am scared even when I watch steven s. horror movies.
Me: peed in my pants when playing P.T.
I would watch an hour of yoji shinkawa just drawing.
Please Mr. Kojima, more videos discussing your ideas behind all the mystery and science of this game.
I hope he does more videos like this. I was hoping Playstation would do one those one to two hours behind the scenes. I loved this game so much.
I can get why some people dont but I think everyone should give it a chance and like Kojima said take what you get from the game with you.
"You won't die, just age."
So that's why Fragile can keep walking/running, it's just harder since 80% of her is now.. old.
Age isn't a problem when you're asian
Kojima made something no one will EVER DO AGAIN. This game is UNIQUE and will NEVER BE CREATED ANYTHING LIKE THIS AGAIN EVER.
And i hope no one will do bullshit game like again
I fully understand death stranding is not everyone's cup of tea.Knowing this I was surprised I very much enjoyed it 9.5/10
こういう世界観とか細かい処は解説していただかないと僕は気づかないので大変ありがたいです。
未だゲーム途中ですが、ナチュラルに楽しみたいです。
イイネ！👍
Awesome Death Stranding Video.
Just imagine if Tomokazu Fukushima was still on board! He was a genius writer.
Awesome episode GameSpot fam🎉🎉
Amazing from start to finish. The lil details give the opening cinematic even more depth. Interesting to note how each beached thing has a name given to them. But also the reach out, timefall (with nightmarish results) . Plus the explanation of what not to do, never leave a body for too long
I love this game, experience, every journey is rewarding, and the atmosphere, tone, and music is unlike any other title out there.
Thanks for sharing this with us
Game was so good. Im still in post game just Making America Great Again!
Still excited to play it every night. Best game of all times.
Mads Mikkelsen's character was my favourite. His appearance in the war scenarios was so menacing.
The game gave me similar vibes to Dark (the German Netflix show), from the atmosphere and with the mix of science and philosophy.
wtf he only had 3 or 4 staff members in kojima productions when they started the project? 1:15
he's lying........
@@lostpockets2227 Lol, after he left Konami he probably only had a few dedicated friends that weren't connected to Konami to start this new project? You don't know any more than I do mate but use your head.
@@alanchung6843 wats a elipsis
Kojima is totally acting like a filmmaker in this video. And Iove it.
Yoji Shinkawa is the best artist humanity has ever seen!!!
How about breaking down the whole game? (Awesome game btw)
We need to invent the technology to clone this man so that he can make more than one game at a time. My appetite for kojima and yoji's work will never be satisfied LOL absolute visionaries.
Kojima is really a genius
best game ever
thank you Hideo Kojima
"this is the dead driver"
a couple seconds later
"...and the driver isn't even dead yet"
Fagush Two different drivers.
Yea when you are in the truck there are 2 other people. The driver who ages and gets shot by the other npc. The other npc is in the back of the truck. He tries to kill himself with the knife but fails. He is the one that gets eaten. The game is great.
Im only 7 hours in but his explanation of the game absolutely blew me away. My god. His brilliance just hit me.
Keep on keeping on!
I did notice the tar-covered BT in glasses, was gonna post the shot on Reddit and then found this vid, where Kojima said it was his cameo ))
Genius! Loved the game, can’t wait for your next piece of art, and the next, and the next... keep creating, Kojima! Thank you!
... i dunno it really felt like i built that damn highway all by myself. yr welcome everyone btw...
Awesome!
Great video. Followed Kojima since about 1998 when MGS came out. Just finished DS. Great game I really enjoyed my time with it. He seems such a chill guy. I'd love him to do a netflix series as you can cram more into it rather than a 90 minute film.
Amazing
Devil's rain scared the life out of me. I still think about it occasionally.
Rip mr crab, your sacrifice will not be forgotten.
Death Stranding has the best story of any game I have played! Plus it’s stunning to look at
god kojima just straight up doesn't age. what a beautiful man
If you see it. It is a MASTERPIECE !
I was once worked as a courier, delivering things to people.. I personally attached to this game, can't stop playing it even after achieve Platinum..
As a child: Shin-chan
As a man: Shin-chan
結局Shin-chan
That beautiful genius
Death Stranding wasn't as bad as people said it was, in my opinion. I actually kinda found it nice.
Well a lot of people love it... Like me... Hence why it has the most 10/10 this year. You will love or hate this game, very few like it, like you do. It's a game for people with patience who like taking their time with a game.
Story is absolutely phenomenal
@@TheRoudyzor The story is fine, but the delivery is so grating.
