‘Death Stranding’ Details Leaked?

Published

After all of Hideo Kojima’s teasing and coyness about Death Stranding, this year’s E3 will have the big reveal. Unless, of course, you believe the rumoured leaks that detail just what to expect from the game. Rumour Control time!

According to the muck and mire that is 4Chan’s /v/ board (captured for posterity by The Nerd Mag, there are some interesting things going on in Death Stranding. For starters, the combat is going to involve “tons of weapons, vehicles, gadgets and gear from multiple eras, from clubs to single shot muskets to energy swords.”

You know that baby that we keep seeing? Turns out that the baby is “something that exists as a singular, it is not something that is instanced each time you boot up the game. The baby is a single entity. He is what is causing the time distortions and dimensions crossing over, which is multiplayer.” If that doesn’t make sense to you, keep in mind that Kojima gave us Metal Gear Solid 2.

What’s even more ridiculous is that at the end of the game, “there will need to be a global decision made to kill the baby and end DS multiplayer forever, or allow it to live and continue the multiplayer experience.”

Yes, I heard that collective “What the hell?”, too.

There are other “goodies” to be found in these leaks, such as the game incorporating a Butterfly Effect where players in other games can do things at certain points in time that will affect your game. And it can happen either while you are actively playing or while the game is off. Then there’s a rumoured release date of 2020 (“game got delayed internally”), a PC release “at an undecided time after the PS4” and more. Click on the above link after you’ve had your dose of salt. Or wait for E3 for the truth.

We have learned the sad news this week that prolific horror author Ray Garton, who wrote nearly 70 books over the course of his career, has passed away after a battle with lung cancer.

Ray Garton was 61 years old.

Stephen King tweets, “I’m hearing that Ray Garton, horror novelist and friend, died yesterday. This is sad news, and a loss to those who enjoyed his amusing, often surreal, posts on Twitter.”

Ray Garton’s novels include Seductions, Darklings, Live Girls, Night Life, and Crucifax in the 1980s, followed in later decades by output including A Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting, Trade Secrets, The New Neighbor, Lot Lizards, Dark Channel, Shackled, The Girl in the Basement, The Loveliest Dead, Ravenous, Bestial, and most recently, Trailer Park Noir.

Garton also wrote young adult novels under the name Joseph Locke, including the novelizations for A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Master and The Dream Child. He also wrote the novelizations for Tobe Hooper’s Invaders from Mars and Warlock, as well as several books for the Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchises.

Other young adult horror novels you may remember the name Joseph Locke from include Petrified, Kiss of Death, Game Over, 1-900-Killer, Vengeance, and Kill the Teacher’s Pet.

You can browse Ray Garton’s full bibliography over on his official website.

He wrote on his website when it launched, “Since I was eight years old, all I’ve wanted to be was a writer, and since 1984, I have been fortunate enough to spend my life writing full time. I’ve written over 60 books—novels and novellas in the horror and suspense genres, collections of short stories, movie novelizations, and TV tie-ins—with more in the works.”

“My readers have made it possible for me to indulge my love of writing and I get a tremendous amount of joy out of communicating with them,” Garton added at the time.

Ray Garton is survived by his longtime wife, Dawn.
