We’ll have to keep eyes peeled for any announcements with giraffes included.

This is the premise behind Ghost of Tsushima , Sucker Punch's action-adventure title set for release in 2019. The game will feature a vast open world for players to explore based on that historical setting while getting a chance to step into the shoes of a samurai warrior named Jin, who must learn to master a new fighting style called the " way of the ghost ."

| The rate at which Geoff Keighley’s continued recognition of giraffes is going, I believe he’ll be making it mandatory that his industry friends incorporate a giraffe of some sort into all of their projects by the year 2021. Eventually, we’ll be seeing giraffes becoming a national video game icon, and we’ll have Geoff to thank or hate. | |

| Although he has said that the company's next project will be horror-focused, it is also entirely possible Kojima will change track and create an entirely new game. After all, his previous title, Death Stranding , was just that.

One reason for [[https://deathstranding2World.com/|discover this]] is, even in modern times, that this southeast European country still boasts dazzling architecture. Even in this hypothetical future with much of its cities destroyed, the many towns and cities to be seen within Greece would still contain an almost otherworldly experience to them, even in a ruined state.

| Naughty Dog spent the last half of 2018 releasing trailers for The Last of Us 2 , including a gameplay trailer at E3 that looked so good that several gaming industry professionals attempted to claim that it was fake.

| On July 14, [[https://Deathstranding2World.com/|relevant resource site]] Hideo Kojima’s latest creative venture, Death Stranding , finally releases on PC . Like other PC players, I’ve waited since November to experience Death Stranding on PC, and now that I’ve had my hands on the game for about a week I’m happy to say that, so far, it was well worth the w | 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.

| Fatherhood is explored in a different way in _ Death Stranding . _ Sam Bridges obviously goes through some form of it as he cares for bridge baby, Lou, as Sam has to explore the game world while carrying Lou in his pod which is attached to his chest. He develops a bond with Lou similarly to how a parent does with a child (he does carry Lou around like a mom). In fact, motherhood might be just as important a theme as fatherhood in _ Death Strandin | Theoretically speaking, there is some range in the ideas that Kojima implemented in Death Stranding . While Death Stranding 's vehicle for introducing the "strand game" genre was mostly about delivery and movement, a true-to-core survival game could also lend itself well to the "strand" community concepts. Theoretically these kinds of elements could be implemented into a horror game as well, as team-based horror experiences like Phasmophobia or Dead by Daylight have proven to be very popular. It doesn't necessarily have to be a Death Stranding sequel, but Kojima's commitment to the "strand game" means there's more to come from Kojima Producti |

| 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 which, although met with mixed reviews, many critics declare to be a widely creative and completely unique stand-alone g | Naughty Dog spent the last half of 2018 releasing trailers for The Last of Us 2 , including a gameplay trailer at E3 that looked so good that several gaming industry professionals attempted to claim that it was fake.

We’ve seen Keanu Reeves starring as Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077 , Hideo Kojima has pulled nearly half of Hollywood into Death Stranding , and Fortnite keeps adding popular icons such as Batman . But there’s one person who continues to try and insert a specific animal into games: Geoff Keighley.Mr. Keighley, an ex-host for GameTrailers TV, and a freelance writer for various outlets started up his own awards show in 2014 titled The Game Awards. The award ceremony is designed to celebrate achievements in the video game industry. You’ll no doubt see him at numerous video game events and enjoying his friendships with famous faces in the industry. The year 2013 seems to be the first year I can find in which Geoff Keighley begins to harp on about giraffes a noticeable amount. It seems to have started with just sharing his delight about the long-necked creatures, but has slowly escalated to become his brand. Now, it looks as though he’s trying to forcefully include giraffes in popular video games.Back in 2013, Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us  launched on PS3, and features a scene where Joel and Ellie see some giraffes in an overgrown city . Given Geoff’s current excitement for the upcoming sequel The Last of Us Part II , I believe his adoration towards giraffes in games stems from that very scene. However, on June 4, 2013, Geoff Tweeted that he loves giraffes , referencing the popular Toys R Us mascot, a giraffe named Geoffery. He claimed it was because Geoffery spells his name with a G, as opposed to the alternative, Jeffery. This was in the same month as E3 2013 which Geoff attended and tweeted out a picture of a giraffe wearing a bowtie that Spike TV had provided for the event.Later that year, Geoff brought our attention to the box art of Zoo Tycoon featuring a giraffe. This clearly delighted Geoff as it truly meant the Xbox One-exclusive launch title was bringing next-generation giraffes running on the new Microsoft console. Little did the industry know what the man had in store for video game giraffes in the future.A year later in 2014, Geoff asked someone on Twitter if there was going to be a playable giraffe in a video game. Sadly, Twitter seems to have lost the original Tweet, so all we can do is speculate on whatever game he’s referencing. It’s likely safe to say that he mentioned giraffes occasionally online and in replies to people, but as the years went on, his giraffe plan began to formulate even more. Giraffe Town , a game in which you play as a weird clumsy giraffe launched on PC in 2018, and Geoff caught wind of it and shared it . However, he seemed to be under the impression that it was a spin-off title starring the giraffe from The Last of Us . No one seemed to clarify that it was an unrelated giraffe.Living in adoration for his video game giraffes took a dramatic turn these past two years. The Last of Us Part II was still heavily under wraps when Geoff Keighley and Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann began publicly talking about him having a part in the upcoming sequel as a giraffe. Geoff sent Neil various videos of him acting and singing as an Animoji giraffe , and his potential inclusion looked promising. However, we since haven't heard of Keighley's involvement being confirmed, but the game is still to launch, so there’s a possibility.This year, it started to look as if Geoff’s dream of having his favorite giraffe in video games was becoming a success. Geoff had changed his profile picture to the giraffe from The Last of Us on September 23, but there was something odd. The giraffe was actually hologram-styled similarly to what is seen in Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding . We know that Geoff and Kojima have met up in the past. Hell, even Geoff himself is in Death Stranding as a hologram , so there’s a very good chance that he’s nudged his favorite giraffe into the game as well. The Last of Us Part II was then ready to be revealed to the public some more this past month , and Geoff took the opportunity to tweet that there would be an important update on the status of giraffes in the game . We were, of course, not informed of any giraffes being in the game, but going by the Animoji musical situation earlier in the year, we may just see Geoff’s favorite giraffe making a cameo. |
| Hopefully, this means some of the concepts which were lost with the removal of PT from the PlayStation Store will return. If Kojima wants his next horror title to truly be successful, however, it needs to have less silly celebrity cameos than Death Stranding | |

| 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 | |

| However, if you’ve already played the game, watched some gameplay online, or read Logan's wonderful review , then that isn’t news to you. In that case, you’re probably wondering how this PC port performs. Well, I’m happy to report that so far my experience has been amazing; it’s clear that the seven months since the game’s PS4 launch were very well-spent. My PC barely meets Death Stranding’s recommended settings, yet I’ve played around 10 hours so far, all at 60+ FPS without graphical errors, slowdown, or crashes. Meanwhile, the graphics are some of the best I’ve ever seen on my PC; certain environments and character models are hyper-realistic to the point where I feel like I am controlling a character in an HDR video. This isn’t too surprising considering it’s a port to PC, but it is worth mentioning. After all, we have seen some terrible PC ports in the p | |
