Death Stranding Trailer Baffles Everyone – TGA 2017

It’s not like Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding was anything new at the time. However, we had only seen brief glimpses of what Hideo Kojima’s twisted mind was capable of delivering. At The Game Awards 2017, over 8 minutes of new footage was showcased and it arguably trumped everything before it. Shadowy figures, supernatural happenings – it was weird, to say the least.

Even with 2015 in the bag, CD Projekt RED’s The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt continues to reap the awards. It picked up the Game of the Year Award at GDC 2016 and also received the award for Best Technology.

Sam Barlow’s Her Story also had a very strong awards run, nabbing the Innovation Award, Best Narrative and Best Handheld/Mobile Game for the year. Ori and the Blind Forest netted a few awards for Best Visual Art and Best Debut while Rocket League won the award for Best Design. Interestingly, Best Audio went to Crypt of the Necrodancer.

Bethesda’s Todd Howard, known for his work on Fallout 4, received a Lifetime Achievement Award while Minecraft creator Markus “Notch” Persson was bestowed with a Pioneer award for his work in the industry.

What are your thoughts on thoughts on the winners for this year? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks.

Sam Barlow’s award-winning Her Story will be getting a sequel.

The man himself tweeted out a blurred page of what we can assume to be the plot with the words, “HS2 has a 1-pager. Neat.”

The name at this stage is simply a working title and Barlow himself has revealed that there is “no relation story-wise to Her Story.” It’ll still have live-action acting though so cross your fingers that Viva Seifert makes an appearance again.

Her Story released last year to a mountain of critical acclaim as reviewers praised it for its story-telling approach, depth of plot (which was open to interpretation) and the means by which players pieced together the story. The game has sold 60,000 copies on PC and 40,000 copies on iOS in its lifetime.

What are your thoughts on Her Story 2 and what mechanics it could feature? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more information.

Indie puzzle adventure game Her Story, which mixes full motion video and cleverly acted scenes with a non-linear plot that requires investigation on the part of players, has managed some fairly good sales numbers since its release.

Creator Sam Barlow recently tweeted that, “Back from holidays & some cool news waiting for me: Her Story has sold over 100,000 copies after its first month and a bit on sale.”

This is indeed good news especially when you consider the approach that Her Story took to its plot. Players are required to investigate a murder involving a housewife. Suffice to say, things are not what they seem and it’s ultimately up to the player to piece together the woman’s story in order to find the truth.

What are your thoughts on Her Story? If you haven’t had a chance to play it, then head over to Steam and pick it up for PC and Mac today.
