New Trailer for Hideo Kojima’s ‘Death Stranding’ Revealed at The Game Awards
A new trailer for Hideo Kojima’s horror title Death Stranding was just shown at the 2016 Games Awards ceremony and it looks MAGNIFICENT! The footage is haunting, beginning with a man who looks suspiciously like Guillermo del Toro running towards a tunnel while carrying some strange contraption. He is hiding from soldiers that are basically rotten corpses with uniforms as well as a tank that is part organic. In the tunnel, there is a small squad of soldiers, one of whom is revealed to be none other than Dr. Hanniabl Lecter himself, Mads Mikkelsen!

The footage doesn’t show Norman Reedus, although the title screen confirms his involvement. Additionally, the host states that the visuals we’re seeing are in-game graphics running at 4K on a PS4 Pro, which means I’m going to have to get one of those.
Something to note, and this is pure speculation, is that I’m thinking Junji Ito is involved somehow with this game. He was confirmed to have been attached to Silent Hills, so it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Kojima maintained that relationship and brought him on board for Death Stranding. After all, you can’t look at that tank and tell me that it’s not something out of Ito’s twisted mind!
No release date has been confirmed, although Kojima has said that it will be out in 2018 (per Den of Geek), so we have a bit of waiting on our hands. It’s also confirmed to be a Playstation 4 exclusive.
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.
