Death Stranding will have “elements of social media”

Death Stranding will feature “elements of social media”, actor Norman Reedus has confirmed.

Speaking to the B&H Photography Podcast, Reedus said Death Stranding isn’t like other games.

“The concept is so mind blowing, because it’s not like ‘kill everybody and win the game!’ It’s a connecting thing. It’s like the opposite,” Reedus began. “It’s so ahead of its time, and there’re elements of social media in it, and the idea is that… So many games and so many parts of millennial culture are being alone in a room, and you lose contact, physical contact, with people. This is after that and the re-establishing of that physical contact. It’s super, super interesting.”

Indeed — super interesting. What do you make of it all?

Death Stranding is a PS4 exclusive.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
