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.
