Arguably the closest thing the video game industry has to the Oscars or the Emmys is The Game Awards . Each year, a group of industry insiders and journalists come together to vote on which games should win in a variety of categories. The winners are announced in December at The Game Awards , which has been hosted by video game journalist Geoff Keighley since its inception in 2

Now that Kojima Productions is finished with Death Stranding , its first major title since Kojima's departure from Konami, fans are waiting with bated breath to see what the video game producer and writer is going to come up with next. There are plenty of theories out there about what these games might be. Here are the the most plausible (and the most ridiculous) theories availa

So, there's a strange turning point that comes after reaching the first of Cliff Unger's war beaches, where the player is suddenly given the ability to kill enemies with the introduction of lethal weapons. However, as Kojima Productions writes through the gameplay , the lack of ludonarrative dissonance means that the player is heavily punished for killing enemies, but is given almost no reward for doing so. It's a positive in a storytelling sense, but leaves the player with all these weapon options that are really meaningless and could be explored further to give a stronger risk/reward factor for straight up mur

Between the world premieres and the awards being given out, video game enthusiasts have many reasons to tune in to The Game Awards every year. This year's event has the potential to be the biggest Game Awards yet, and it will be exciting to see how it all goes d

Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear series first began with Metal Gear in 1987 for the MSX2, and since then numerous successful installments to the series have come out, proving that Kojima had the ability to create one of the most successful video game franchises of all time. More recently, Kojima developed Death Stranding 2 Story Guide|Https://Deathstranding2World.Com/ Stranding which, although met with mixed reviews, many critics declare to be a widely creative and completely unique stand-alone g

Aside from the game’s stellar performance, Kojima Productions actually added new content into Death Stranding’s PC version in the form of new side quests in reference to the classic Valve franchises Half-Life and Portal . These quests become available around Episode 2, which is pretty early in Death Stranding’s campaign. These quests are definitely an exciting addition for PC players as they reward different cosmetics from and based upon the Valve franchises; for an example, look no further than the above screenshot that shows a Half-Life skinned vehicle. I’ve haven’t completed all of the Valve quests yet, but I can tell you that in the first mission I hauled a heavy Portal Companion Cube back to a delivery terminal and was rewarded with an awesome pair of Gordon Freeman glasses to make Sam look a little more scienti

Before Kojima left Konami, he was working on one of the most highly anticipated projects at the time: Silent Hills . Players were given a glimpse at what a Silent Hills game would look like with PT , or the Playable Teaser, and many thought it was one of the most unique horror titles available. Sadly, Konami canceled Silent Hills and PT was removed from the PlayStation Store not long after. Recent rumors suggest that a Silent Hill reboot is, in fact, in the works. While it seems unlikely that Kojima Productions will be involved with the project (considering that Konami still owns the franchise) anything could happen. The company did, after all, show they knew what they were doing when they released PT in the first pl

Dutch was the leader of their gang, so he sort of served as the overarching father figure for everyone in the crew, especially Arthur who was his right hand man up until Micah nefariously replaced him. Arthur’s conflict , both with Dutch and himself, throughout the game has a few similarities to a "normal" father-son relationship. In _ RDR 2, _ when Dutch continually puts Arthur’s ideas down and constantly questions his loyalty, it starts to make Arthur doubt not only Dutch but also hims

Fatherhood in _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ might be a little more subtle as a theme than it was in the first game. Main character Arthur Morgan fights against time in many different ways throughout the story of the game, so it’s not particularly surprising that he doesn’t really have the chance to play the role of father in the game. Arthur actually once had a son, which he reveals through a missable side conversation in the story, but he and his mother were murdered in a robbery before the events of _ RDR

Many gamers will be tuning in to The Game Awards 2019 to see which game won the coveted Game of the Year, but others will be tuning in for the world premieres. The Game Awards has gained a reputation for being an event where major new game announcements take place, with this year's event promising at least 10 world premiere reveals for gamers to look forward
