What we know, as far as gameplay goes
- it's open world
- it's a traditional action game to some extent
- it has a heavy (maybe even mandatory) focus on online elements

Kojima confirmed that the game will be on PC but at a later date. They don't want the game to be datamined on day 1. But yes, they should address this topic in the near future.

I am betting a gameplay trailer at PSX will be the second-most highlight of the night behind God of War cause they will be pushing that game hard leading up to release early next year.

I met Kojima at E3 this year.
I asked him if Death Stranding drew inspiration from Silent Hills and P.T.
He smiled and shook his head.

Did he? I had this argument in another unrelated thread. All I could find was some deleted Q&A before it was entirely clear how big Sony's involvement would be. Is there another source for this claim? There are two Sony published games in Steam though, even Sony's inhouse devs worked on one of those.
The PC version was announced in the video Kojima and House did when they announced the partnership iirc

Wait, so you won't even buy it if it's good, because you got burned on MGS5? I don't even understand this logic.

I think the ship has sailed on that after the Decima engine collaboration was announced.
Couldve sworn it was in there too and not just in the old QnA
Oh, I know. It's just odd they haven't said anything about it since Sony literally loses nothing by doing so since they have no stake in PC gaming at this point

I wonder where the VIP room was where he got to play it.

I think it was initially supposed to be timed exclusive to PS4, and it probably is but likely even longer. I don't expect this game to be out until the tail-end of the PS4's generation and right before the PS5. So it's likely it might get a cross-gen port to PS5 at a later time and then PC much later on.
I know Cerny and Kojima went on a world tour to find the right engine for him, and it's pretty likely that they visited Epic and Crytek during that time too. Kojima just ended up going with Decima and also knew it would push the PC release even further away.
Sony have shown that they have no problems with letting a game that they published go to PC if their 2nd party partner wants it to after a certain period of time. Resogun, Helldivers and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture are recent examples. Sure these are smaller games, but it's also very likely that Kojima's contract with Sony is fairly lax after his previous experience so I wouldn't worry too much.
That being said, I would definitely recommend getting a PS4 if you're interested because this game will likely not be on PC for at least a year and maybe 2.
Best wishes.

Everybody's gone to the rapture was co-developed by SCE Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony. Still got later PC release. This is something I'll be grasping to until someone confirms the game isn't coming to PC at all. =P

Not to mention the separate online mode and the fact they would've earned quite a lot of money from selling Ground Zeroes separately.
???
Yeah Resogun isn't on PC, their new game Nex Machina is on PS4 and PC. It's not Sony published though.

Shook as in no, not nod as in yes
they put some psychedelics in Kojima's drink and did it all live. Kojima-San was really impressed with the newer engine.
They both have Norman Reedus

It's the engine that always takes up Kojima's time when making game.

I don't get why they went silent this year. I know some people cry and whine, but Kojima trailers are always E3 highlights for me.
New IP on a AAA scale is tough as nails.

I'm expecting this. Unless I've missed something, it could be related to 'Bridges'.
I really wouldn't be surprised if we see a much smaller game first, demonstrating the core mechanics of Death Stranding.

A lot of studios were silent this E3 to be fair. Suckerpunch, Fromsoftware, Rocksteady, Itsuno, CD Projekt RED.
It was rough.
He probably just moved it all around like a bobble head.

From one has me a bit worried, but Kojima's doesn't seem to have a good reason. Kojima's cgi crap is always entertaining. If he didn't have gameplay, some would complain, but most would still just enjoy the ride.
And this Sony e3 needed it.
Pretty dope hearing that from Shawn himself, but now I'm expecting gameplay come PSX. I hope they won't disappoint. To be fair, though, everyone's probably expecting quite a lot from PSX due to how little new content they showed at E3. Death Stranding would probably be the highlight, though, if we're getting a good chunk of gameplay. It's gonna be a doozy.
They probably want to announce their works closer to release.

Is anyone expecting, in terms of gameplay mechanics, that DS will be very MGS 5 ish? a course with differences here and there
