New Death Stranding Gameplay Shows Off How Deep Customization Goes

During Tokyo Game Show, Hideo Kojima treated Death Stranding fans to a 30-minute presentation on what you can do in main character Sam’s bedroom, plus new details on how you can customize the bedroom and Sam’s wardrobe.

The demo starts off with Kojima leading the audience through some basic motions. We as players aren’t actually controlling Sam in this moment. We’re more of a disembodied camera that Sam is aware of, in classic fourth wall-breaking Kojima style. The camera pans down to linger on Sam’s crotch, and Sam quickly shields his crotch from sight, in what might be a nod to Metal Gear Solid, where a similar animation happens if the player camera lingers on Meryl’s body.

Iron Man Stinger Had a Version Where Nick Fury References Spider-Man and X-Men

In 2008’s Iron Man, Marvel Studios dropped in a brief post-credits scene featuring Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, who teased the existence of something called “the Avenger initiative.” The rest, as they say, is history, and cinema was forever changed. However, it turns out that a different draft of Fury’s monologue teased the existence of X-Men and Spider-Man, almost a decade before Disney would acquire Marvel and subsequently acquire the film rights to the X-Men franchise, as well as share film rights with Sony.

At this year’s Saturn Awards, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige introduced a previously never-before-seen deleted scene from 2008’s Iron Man. The clip will be included on a box set that contains the entire Infinity Saga, coming later this year. In the clip, Jackson’s Fury can be seen tacking on a little bit of additional info to his now-familiar spiel.
