I know the whole "Kojima wants to make movies, not video games" thing is a pretty tired meme at this point, but just look at the opening sequence of this game. Up until you take control of the character, or at least get close enough to see that it's not a real person it really is just about indistinguishable from an actual film at that point, at least in terms of presentation. I actually think this is generally a good thing because nobody is really making games like that right now. It's just...very blatant.

OwlFancier posted:It's also giving me big Caves of Qud vibes too, similar dreamlike quality, a world so removed from the familiar but still with people in it. Or like tarkovsky's Stalker.

So Timefall seems to be weirdly inconsistent, isn't it? Like it ages biological matter by decades in a matter of minutes and even the photograph was aged, but Sam's gear seems completely fine. Obviously it's all made of metal and plastic, but getting caught in a Timefall for even ten minutes seems like it would be the equivalent of a century of neglect which I'm sure would have some impact. Is that mirrored in gameplay latter on?

Re: IcelandAmerica, the other reason the game opts for that approach is obviously that it makes it more interesting to navigate. America has a lot of interesting and challenging terrain for hiking, but those are divided up by vast stretches of nothing, so to make the game actually fun to play you'd need it to be uniformly more rugged than it actually is.
