If the sequel goes north instead of south, the Canadian landscape boasts a bevy of open countryside and chilly mountaintops to navigate. The Banff National Park could work as a stunning setting all on its own thanks to the glacial lakes containing some of the bluest water on the entire planet, casting reflections of the endless woods and hilltops that stretch out into the distance. For a more relaxed area, the dense forestry to be found in British Columbia would provide a soothing sense of serenity during the player's travels. Meanwhile, the multicultural streets of Montreal offer sights and senses representative of a multitude of cultures and beliefs from around the world, giving players little pieces of everywhere in a future of days gone
PlayStation 4 owners are in for a real treat in 2019, at least when it comes to exclusive games on the consoles. Some massive titles are headed their way, thus making 2019 a year where it's good to be a PlayStation ga
While travelling through a ruined Tokyo would surely be a haunting experience, what would be even more mesmerizing is to see the more rural areas of the country. Mount Fuji alone would be a spectacle to witness, especially if the game allowed the player to climb to its very peak for a delivery mission. Just as Ghost of Tsushima recently proved , the lush and vibrant open fields in the country sides of Japan can be very peaceful to explore and the endless assortment of colors on display within the nature there is a feast for the e
Greek mythology has inspired many stories over the years including video games from God of War to Immortals Fenyx Rising . One reason for this is, even in modern times, that this southeast European country still boasts dazzling architecture. Even in this hypothetical future with much of its cities destroyed, the many towns and cities to be seen within Greece would still contain an almost otherworldly experience to them, even in a ruined state. Landmarks in Athens or the island of Crete's sense of mystery and wonder would arguably only be heightened with a post-apocalyptic design, adding to the notion that these are the remnants of a world long g
But that's still two years away, and that means that there are still a lot of great games releasing exclusively on the PS4. Some of the games expected in 2019 are probably some of the most highly-anticipated games in recent years. Not only will Naughty Dog finally release The Last of Us 2 , a follow-up to its 2013 zombie action adventure title, but Hideo Kojima should, hopefully, release Death Stranding , his first title since his controversial departure from Konami. The new year will bring a little something for everyone on the PlayStatio
Dutch was the leader of their gang, so he sort of served as the overarching father figure for everyone in the crew, especially Arthur who was his right hand man up until Micah nefariously replaced him. Arthur’s conflict , both with Dutch and himself, throughout the game has a few similarities to a “normal” father-son relationship. In _ RDR 2, _ when Dutch continually puts Arthur’s ideas down and constantly questions his loyalty, it starts to make Arthur doubt not only Dutch but also hims
While the post-doomsday interpretation of America in Death Stranding is certainly terrifying, a disturbing implication to consider is how much the destructive event that caused everything to begin with has also affected the rest of the world. If Kojima Productions is planning to make a return to this devastated world, there are plenty of other locations around the world that can provide an interesting backdrop for the story to conti
(Image: https://burst.shopifycdn.com/photos/morgue-attendant-closing-a-freezer.jpg?width=746&format=pjpg&exif=0&iptc=0)Rockstar Games and Kojima Productions have dealt with this sort of theme in the past. _ Red Dead Redemption _ was entirely about fatherhood with main character John Marston struggling throughout the entire story just to keep his family safe. The insanely huge and complex story of the _ Metal Gear _ franchise touches upon the theme of fatherhood throughout the multiple games connected to it. It’s clear to see that both developers enjoy writing around this theme in particular which has led to comparisons between Red Dead Redemption 2 and Death Stranding _ . _ In either case, dads are a big deal in these ga
Fatherhood in _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ might be a little more subtle as a theme than it was in the first game. Main character Arthur Morgan fights against time in many different ways throughout the story of the game, so it’s not particularly surprising that he doesn’t really have the chance to play the role of father in the game. Arthur actually once had a son, which he reveals through a missable side conversation in the story, but he and his mother were murdered in a robbery before the events of _ RDR
Popular faces seem to be appearing more and more in video games. We’ve seen Keanu Reeves starring as Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077 , Hideo Kojima has pulled nearly half of Hollywood into death stranding 2 walkthrough|https://deathstranding2world.com/ Stranding , and Fortnite keeps adding popular icons such as Batman . But there’s one person who continues to try and insert a specific animal into games: Geoff Keighley.Mr. Keighley, an ex-host for GameTrailers TV, and a freelance writer for various outlets started up his own awards show in 2014 titled The Game Awards. The award ceremony is designed to celebrate achievements in the video game industry. You’ll no doubt see him at numerous video game events and enjoying his friendships with famous faces in the industry. The year 2013 seems to be the first year I can find in which Geoff Keighley begins to harp on about giraffes a noticeable amount. It seems to have started with just sharing his delight about the long-necked creatures, but has slowly escalated to become his brand. Now, it looks as though he’s trying to forcefully include giraffes in popular video games.Back in 2013, Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us  launched on PS3, and features a scene where Joel and Ellie see some giraffes in an overgrown city . Given Geoff’s current excitement for the upcoming sequel The Last of Us Part II , I believe his adoration towards giraffes in games stems from that very scene. However, on June 4, 2013, Geoff Tweeted that he loves giraffes , referencing the popular Toys R Us mascot, a giraffe named Geoffery. He claimed it was because Geoffery spells his name with a G, as opposed to the alternative, Jeffery. This was in the same month as E3 2013 which Geoff attended and tweeted out a picture of a giraffe wearing a bowtie that Spike TV had provided for the event.Later that year, Geoff brought our attention to the box art of Zoo Tycoon featuring a giraffe. This clearly delighted Geoff as it truly meant the Xbox One-exclusive launch title was bringing next-generation giraffes running on the new Microsoft console. Little did the industry know what the man had in store for video game giraffes in the future.A year later in 2014, Geoff asked someone on Twitter if there was going to be a playable giraffe in a video game. Sadly, Twitter seems to have lost the original Tweet, so all we can do is speculate on whatever game he’s referencing. It’s likely safe to say that he mentioned giraffes occasionally online and in replies to people, but as the years went on, his giraffe plan began to formulate even more. Giraffe Town , a game in which you play as a weird clumsy giraffe launched on PC in 2018, and Geoff caught wind of it and shared it . However, he seemed to be under the impression that it was a spin-off title starring the giraffe from The Last of Us . No one seemed to clarify that it was an unrelated giraffe.Living in adoration for his video game giraffes took a dramatic turn these past two years. The Last of Us Part II was still heavily under wraps when Geoff Keighley and Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann began publicly talking about him having a part in the upcoming sequel as a giraffe. Geoff sent Neil various videos of him acting and singing as an Animoji giraffe , and his potential inclusion looked promising. However, we since haven't heard of Keighley's involvement being confirmed, but the game is still to launch, so there’s a possibility.This year, it started to look as if Geoff’s dream of having his favorite giraffe in video games was becoming a success. Geoff had changed his profile picture to the giraffe from The Last of Us on September 23, but there was something odd. The giraffe was actually hologram-styled similarly to what is seen in Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding . We know that Geoff and Kojima have met up in the past. Hell, even Geoff himself is in Death Stranding as a hologram , so there’s a very good chance that he’s nudged his favorite giraffe into the game as well. The Last of Us Part II was then ready to be revealed to the public some more this past month , and Geoff took the opportunity to tweet that there would be an important update on the status of giraffes in the game . We were, of course, not informed of any giraffes being in the game, but going by the Animoji musical situation earlier in the year, we may just see Geoff’s favorite giraffe making a cameo.
