The sequel to Death Stranding is shaping up to be just as strange as the original. At its State of Play showcase today, Sony showed off a new trailer for the game that... starts out with a particularly disturbing bit of surgery. The lengthy clip features a whole bunch of new locations outside of the US, as well as the return of a villain who has been given a Joker-esque makeover. And yes, the baby makes an appearance — along with a new talking doll.

The sequel also has an official title now: Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. It’s due to launch in 2025.

The show will be led by Kojima and Japanese singer Daichi Miura, and will include various guest appearances, some of which have been teased by the designer on social media in recent days. The guest lineup includes Kenjiro Tsuda, Nana Mizuki, Tomokazu Sugita, Shion Wakayama, and Nicolas Winding Refn. "Attendees will be given a front row seat to the latest update in the development of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach," reads an update on the Kojima Productions website.

It's set to take place on the final day of TGS 2024, 29th September, at 10:30 JST, lasting approximately an hour.

This and GTA 6 are going to look great on PS5 Pro next year

I am not sold on PS5 Pro as yet. I recall DF stating this Pro upgrade is not that large as the CPU might get up to 10% CPU boost. As we have seen that the bottle neck with games is the usually the CPU, its not like a quality mode at 30FPS will go to 60FPS. More likely it will make a smoother 40FPS quality mode, and make a very stable 30FPS quality.

The GPU though has larger performance improvements which makes me think that this upgrade is mainly for newer games (only PS5 using RDNA 2 GPU tech) where the new GPU hardware is utilised freeing up the CPU to do more non-gpu stuff.

I am sure DF will give us some benchmark comparisons once released. Gonna be cool to see.

I am more interested in the resolution boost with PSSR.

I can't tell the difference between 1800p and 2160p.
I struggle to tell the difference between 1440p DLSS 3.0 and 2160p.
My eyes start to bleed with 1080p reconstructed to 4K if it uses trash like FSR 1.0 (*cough* FF XVI *cough*).

If more of these ~1440p/30 titles and ~1080p/60 titles can hit ~1800p/30 and ~1440p/60 with a quality temporal solution close to NVIDIA DLSS 3.0 then I would be very happy.

Didn't know about this!

Wonder why they implemented their own upscaler instead of not just using AMD FidelityFX?

AMD FSR is bad. In fact it's moving forward so slowly that Intel XeSS is already on par in a lot of titles, with DLSS miles ahead.

PSSR is a way for Sony to improve it themselves with Machine Learning tech.

I just read up on AMD FSR and it is a software-based implementation.

Maybe the PSSR is more hardware based implementation, hence the more CUs in the PS5 PRO GPU?
 
Game looks crazy realistic especially in photo mode.

Glad Hideo confirmed it’s definitely coming next year, it sounds like an ambitious title.

No update on last night's State of Play was surprising, DS2 will probably gets it own showcase before release date

I still don't know what the beach is. She literally said in the first game. "Same I am the beach." Can anyone actually summarise this story?
 
Finally got my copy this morning. Pre-orderd the physical copy from Game4u.co.za

Im excited to play, but the game didn't include any code for the pre-order bonus content. I emailed them so lets see what they answer.

Anybody with a similar issue?
