Kojima did in Death Stranding 2 what he talked about five years ago. He put a bandana on Luca Marinelli and turned him into Solid Snake

What particularly piqued fans’ interest was the character named Neil, portrayed by Luca Marinelli. Remarkably, he bears a striking resemblance to the well-known Solid Snake from the Metal Gear series. Interestingly, this isn’t a coincidence – Hideo Kojima had actually noticed the actor about 5 years ago, as can be found on his Instagram.

Gaming News: Digital Foundry’s Take on Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol 1

As a devoted fan, I’ve noticed an explosion of opinions in the gaming community, similar to the enthusiastic sharing of snacks during a marathon session – it’s the framerate debates about the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection! Many players, including myself, have fond memories of the original Metal Gear Solid 2 running smoothly at 60 frames per second on the PS2. This nostalgic benchmark has created a high expectation that, unfortunately, seems unmet in this Switch port, which is capped at 30fps, as lamented by one user: “I can’t believe the original PS2 release of MGS 2 ran at 60fps, and yet this newer version struggles to maintain that.” It appears that a game designed in the early 2000s outperforms this modern port, sparking disbelief and frustration among gamers, causing quite a stir on forums.

Gaming News: When Does Inspiration Become a Rip-off? FTL vs Void War

Initially posted by OneAnimeBatman, there are concerns about Void War potentially overstepping the boundaries of artistic integrity. He argues that instead of paying homage to FTL, it seems more like a top-tier remake or mod. Specific details such as user interface and weapon animation styles, which seem to be directly copied, support this viewpoint. This perspective is shared by many gamers who prefer innovation over replication of past successes. As one user puts it, “the lack of originality makes it feel like a mod.” Players investing effort and feelings into a game anticipate a distinctive adventure, something that retains the essence but forges its own path. The thrill of exploration and novelty should characterize the gaming experience, and when games become too similar, that excitement can fade. Why delve into a new game if it feels like a reflection of an older one, particularly when that older game has already won hearts and minds?

Now, fans are delving deeper into the profound significance behind why characters have specific appearances and behaviors.

Gaming News: Steam’s Chinese Player Boom Exceeds 50% of Global Base!

The rapid expansion of Chinese gamers on Steam is truly remarkable, underscoring China’s crucial position within the gaming industry. As mentioned by Reddit user Turbostrider27 in an original post, it seems we’re experiencing a sort of cultural rebirth, with both modern and classic gaming experiences captivating this demographic. The massive number of gamers participating on Steam now suggests a growing preference for varied gaming stories instead of sticking to the free-to-play models that were popular in the past. A user named cheesewombat pointed out that approximately half of the sales for the critically acclaimed game “It Takes Two” came from Chinese players, which is a clear sign of this shift. This indicates that gamers are ready to invest in more complex and layered gaming experiences, which could significantly impact future game development targeting this rapidly growing market.
