Gamescom Closed Presentation ‘Death Stranding’ Footage Leaked
For those still reeling from the bizarre Death Stranding footage from last week’s Gamescom, YouTuber RePorter Bridges has a little treat for you in the form of an off-screen recording of the seven-minute “Briefing” trailer. The footage in question was shown during a closed presentation at the PlayStation booth.
The trailer features characters Amelie and Die Hardman, who brief protagonist Sam Bridges on his mission to travel west and reconnect the Chiral Network terminals scattered across the United Cities of America. Doing so will integrate the terminals into the Chiral Web, which will deisolate and reconnect the country’s people. Sam, however, turns down this mission, promising not to get involved with Amelie and Hardman, “or anyone else, ever again.”
Death Stranding is due out for PlayStation 4 on November 8.
The long wait for console owners to play Nightdive’s System Shock remake is finally over. Almost a year to the day the remake of the iconic 1994 FPS was released on PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG, System Shock is now available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series.
“For the first time ever, the incredible world of System Shock is available to console gamers,” said Stephen Kick, CEO of Nightdive Studios. “We’re so excited to introduce our take on this pioneering piece of gaming history to a whole new audience.”
The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions of System Shock have a physical and digital release, while the last-gen versions will be digital-only.
System Shock takes place in the year 2072. You are a nameless hacker, and you’ve been caught while attempting to access files concerning Citadel Station, a space station owned by the TriOptimum Corporation. However, in exchange for the dropping of all charges (and a military grade neural implant), you are tasked with hacking SHODAN, the artificial intelligence that controls the station. After hacking SHODAN, removing the AI’s ethical constraints, you are given the implants and put into a healing coma. You wake up six months later on board Citadel, and all hell has broken loose.
If you’re still on the fence of diving into System Shock, check out Harrison’s review, who stated that Nightdive “have absolutely achieved what they set out to do” in regards to updating and bringing the game to a modern audience.
