Kojima: The Baby in ‘Death Stranding’ Will Communicate Through The PS4’s Controller
This really shouldn’t come as a surprise, anymore. Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding is and will be weird. Hideo Kojima himself has once again added to the weirdness in a tweet, stating that BB (the baby you carry around in that jar that you can rock with the PS4’s controller) will communicate with you via the controller’s speaker.
Kojima, of course, used the opportunity to show off that Limited Edition PS4 Pro, with its transparent yellow controller.
By setting, you’ll be able to have BB’s voice coming out from this BBish controller👍🌈🦀☔️🐟🐋🐬💀👶✋🤩 pic.twitter.com/BzBRI4Oyxb

It’s unclear if this is specifically for the limited edition controller, or if the regular Dualshock controllers are capable of this. Other games have made use of the controller’s speaker in the past (such as GTA V), so it might not be limited to that pricey bundle.
And of course, Kojima gives no indication as to what to expect with regards to BB’s communicating. But, at this point, should we even be shocked?
Death Stranding hits PlayStation 4 on November 8th.

Get a Taste of the Action-Packed Terror in the Demo for FPS Shooter ‘BLIGHTEN’ [Trailer]
For those itching for some throwback first-person shooter action, Blight Software has just had a demo released for their upcoming FPS BLIGHTEN. The demo sees you and your squad selected to eliminate the last rebels in the eastern wastes, only to have your slaughtered, and you trapped in a decaying research facility. And you’re not alone.
You’ll explore every room of the facility for resources and weapons in an effort to stay alive. Luckily, you’ll have an extensive arsenal of various firearms at your disposal, from shotguns to assault rifles.
You’ll need them in order to take down the various blight-ridden mutated horrors throughout the mega structure. As one would expect, you’ll need to scrounge for parts and ammo, so make every shot count.
Similar to what players experienced in the early PlayStation classic Alien Trilogy, BLIGHTEN sports hand-drawn enemy sprites and animation in a 3D retro world, creating a unique and dynamic atmosphere while still scratching that throwback itch.
It’s all wrapped up in a dark narrative, where an unseen evil lurks in the shadows of the facility, shaping the horrors around you as you descend deeper into the facility. As you navigate this industrial nightmare, every Blightened creature slain is a grim reminder to what you’ve lost — and the things you’re fighting for.
Look for BLIGHTEN later this year on Steam.
