You should take good pictures
To be fair to Hideo Kojima, he’s been dabbling with photography in his games for quite some time. Do you remember Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriot’s cool (but controversial) Beauty and the Beast photoshoots?
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will take things to an entirely new stratosphere, however, as new footage from the Tokyo Game Show reveals how you’ll be able to snap actresses Lea Seydoux, Shioli Kutsuna, and Elle Fanning as they mess about with some of the most realistic motion capture we’ve ever seen.
And according to Kojima, the Photo Mode will actually somehow affect the story. While he didn’t elaborate, the auteur explained it “would be better to take good pictures”. We wonder if taking bad pictures will somehow affect your relationship with the cast?
Either way, we’re intrigued. Kojima is one of the most creative minds in gaming, so while we’re not surprised to learn he’s adding narrative hooks to his next game’s Photo Mode, we’re also fascinated to see how it all works.
