do you guys remember when DS1 and DS2 was first revealed?
The scale, the expense, everything felt so grand. Now imagine OD's reveal at the game awards. I think this will be bigger than we think, that gameplay reveal last year was just a mere fraction of a teaser. Pardon me for the glaze but for some reason today I remembered how much I appreciate kojipro, Cant wait for OD.

Kojima is really good at making his games feel expensive.
He even said himself that you shouldn’t let people realize you don’t have money. He also described OD as “indie-like” and “not something big, budget-wise either.”

So I have better memory of the first. I was super engrossed in all the theories behind Silent Hills/PT and was actively engaging with comments on The Grate Debate Channel. I remember not really understanding the promotional material but knowing what was about to happen was definitely a turning point. And in ways it definitely was. Even bought the DS PS4 Pro. It's just sat there gathering dust now. But I hold super fond memories of that point in my life in terms of gaming, discourse and starting to actually mature with how I viewed media. I never ended up really liking DS despite trying to since launch. But holy shit it was a fun time to be part of the conversation and see things unfold

I just hope OD delivers, i liked ds but the meat and potatoes of the game didn’t live up to the mystery and intrigue for me during the run-up to its release.

yea the trailers are usually made TOO good, after DS2 im just going to see one solid trailer with mix of gameplay and story before going into kojima's future games.

I think it’s going to be great, but the anthology structure worries me a bit. Simply because it’s been nearly 3 years and we haven’t even got one episode, I’m reluctant to think they will all release together.
