[@NoExplosionsMcgee]

Real talk though: The character animations in this game are incredible. Usually when a game tries to make their characters look and animate as life-like as possible with the aid of performance capture, they typically suffer from the dreaded "Uncanny Valley" effect. Death Stranding also uses performance capture and yet the game somehow manages to avoid the uncanny valley effect with it's characters. Not going to lie, that's quite an impressive feat on KojiPro's part.

[@Cede181]

Digital Foundry has a great video on the tech in Death Stranding and they said that the hyperrealistic eyes manage to circumvent the uncanny valley effect.

[@yeungscs]

Still a little uncanny valley when a character smiles. But it's on the good side of the valley this time.

[@Graham567]

That's because Kojima is a master at this matter. He analised every single movement of the real life actors. It's said by Norman Reedus, Kojima captured actor's every moment. To streching their legs to scratching back of their head

[@xShotgunSurgeryx]

Well that’s why you get the hint about cliffs wife Lisa BRIDGES. Right before this speech. I get the feeling Sam has an idea but isn’t certain after hearing the mother’s last name is his own. Explains why he looks pissed when die hard man says he killed cliff. He just heard that it might be his dad but by the end he knows for sure.

[@Elvisbackpack]

It took you five minutes to figure that out? I had it pegged from the first few BB flashbacks.

[@haseoboi9433]

I mean if you think about Sam loved lou and that could be the reason why he's telling. After we're fooled to think that die hard man killed lou's dad cliff.

[@PolarPhantom]

The saddest thing is that John can't really comprehend that Cliff held no ill will towards him. He's so filled with regret he has to imagine that Cliff hated him, that Cliff had to find an excuse to forgive him when there was nothing to forgive. Yeah, John partook in unethical, maybe justifiable research, but he didn't personally wrong Cliff.

[@TheOttomatic91]

I honestly think deep down he knew Cliff never held any ill feelings towards but it was more the fact that John couldn't forgive himself for what he had done and felt he deserved punishment for his actions, he thought Cliff would give him that but when he didn't he turned to Sam instead but eventually understood that neither of the two could bring themselves to kill John as he honestly was punishing himself all these years by pretending to be a man in a mask with no will or soul of his own.

defiantly a remarkable scene. Loyalty and guilt in its purest form in an individual character. I'm not sure how I feel about the grand narrative of a "New America" in the sense its tethering to Hideo Kojimas possible analysis of the modern day and state of the US. But either way this instance was a pretty neat story element.

[@xShotgunSurgeryx]

Robosoldier11 yeah I didn’t like the whole story could kind of be boiled down to “Make America Great Again: the game” I kept hoping a curtain would be pulled and reveal that it was all bullshit propaganda but even that turned out to only be partly true. The game treats Bridgett’s motivations and end goal of reconnecting everyone like they were ultimately genuine, even if her methods were fucked. I couldn’t shake the feeling maybe America wasn’t worth saving in the first place. Guess this isn’t that kind of story. I’m too pessimistic.

[@robosoldier11]

ShotgunSurgery I mean idk about you but I think kojema lays the blame of the division on “Make America great again.” Because If you look at some of the side entires there are characters that take an obvious snipe at modern political elements.

Die-Hardman's face is animated so realistically, at quick glance I'd say it's a movie. His acting helps a lot as well of course

[@jorgemontenegro6964]

What incredible acting

[@jaredgunkle1562]

everyone else in this game acts like a robot and then you get this unreasonably amazing performance right before the credits when sam hands him the gun hes reading his lines like a grocery list and diehardman is reacting to every word like a bullet to the heart like can he be the protagonist please

[@jacobgarcia633]

Amazing this is a video game. It is film quality. 10/10. Hideo is a genius. Can’t wait to see what he makes next.

Tommie fuckin' KILLED this scene, he was absolutely robbed of a nomination on the game awards

[@Moonwhalerr]

Bro Heart man is literally just dead during this speech. Idk why but that made me laugh. Lmao

[@wysiwyg2006]

the graphics in this game of the faces were first class! great game, when John is crying that almost looks like real footage

[@demonkingzucist1159]

this is perhaps the most emotional part of the game because you can clearly hear the pain in his voice and how he regrets the fact that he did it, for the first time in all the games I've played this moment made me cry

[@CRITIXORG]

I think a Kojima game will be the first one with an Oscar nominée one day. This scene sure deserved a nomination somewhere. Breathtaking !

[@theLikou1]

@@SuperSaiyan3985 Kojima already said he will be doing movies in the future.

I think the best part about this performance while being incredibly sad is it's almost uncomfortable to watch, hearing and seeing a man pour out his heart

[@rainbowcloudss_]

sameee

[@noviantodicky943]

best actor in this game...

[@SneaksBL]

I just saw this scene and Jesus Christ this was amazingly acted. And looked so real. I believe every second

[@rrrrrrrrrRrrrrrRRRhaha]

i'm not crying my eyes are just a little sweaty
