Shinkawa and Kojima take us behind the scenes of Death Stranding
As part of a series by website Gamespot titled Audio Logs, in which developers talk about how they made their games, Hideo Kojima and Yoji Shinkawa break down one of Death Stranding’s cutscenes, that was first shown during The Game Awards 2017. As one of the first scenes in the game, this serves as a tutorial of sorts explaining some of the game’s mechanics. In the video, Kojima and Shinkawa explain how they hint at some of these mechanics in the scene and where some of the ideas came from.
Additionally, Kojima shared some early artwork and graphics explaining the concept behind the game.
