something VERY cool I noticed, At the end some books are shown, The Voyage of the Beagle by Charles Darwin above the Moby D book when Sam is laying down at 9:09. Moby D which was used as a metaphor for MGSV, and the Voyage of the Beagle, in which Darwin visited tropical, new habitats where he saw many plants and animals he had never seen before, and helped him form his theory of evolution. The purpose of the Beagle's voyage was to survey the coast of South America. Charles Darwin was invited on board as the Captain's Companion and naturalist. In his time aboard the Beagle, Darwin would describe and collect many new types of animals and plants.

The low frame rate puppet guy is dope af. Edit: I am aware this is called “stop motion” Since this is a video game and not a movie, I am assuming they are using frame rate tricks to emulate a stop motion feel. If someone knows more about how that works, I’d like to know!

It’s called stop motion bro lol. Not the same as low frame rate, stop motion is intentional.

[@MoistPancakes]

@@xikaryo6735 Don’t you need a camera to do stop motion? It’s a video game. So, I’m assuming they are using frame rate tricks to emulate stop motion. Kinda like how game characters in the background often have lower frame rates to help with performance. Like the zombies in the background of some of the re2 remake levels. I may be wrong about this. I am no expert. Please educate me if you know more. PS: I am well aware that the low frame rate or stop motion is intentional. That’s why I called it dope lol

[@Gadget-Walkmen]

@@MoistPancakes No you’re completely right about it, the puppet has purposefully intentional low frame rate to LOOK like stop motion in the game’s world and it looks fantastic for the character in contrast with the other characters in the world!

I guess he REALLY meant when Kojima said he didn't want to predict the future with his games, the game is going full sci-fi and digging in even more in the supernatural. For those who don't know, Kojima said in his podcast if i'm not mistaken that after the pandemic he scrapped what the original DS2 script was and started all over.

I would have loved to see the original DS2 script made into a game somehow. Death Stranding 2: Another Beach maybe?
