So&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;a new focus on vehicles to give them a better give and take on which terrain they can travel across and how much they can hold as a result is an improvement a sequel should aim &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;PlayStation 4 owners are &lt;/del&gt;in &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;for a real treat in 2019&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;at least when it comes to exclusive games on &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;consoles&lt;/del&gt;. &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Some massive titles are headed their way, thus making 2019 a year where it&amp;#039;s good to be a PlayStation ga&lt;/del&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Fatherhood &lt;/del&gt;is &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;explored in a different way in _ Death Stranding . _ Sam Bridges obviously goes through some form of it as he cares for bridge baby, Lou, as Sam has &lt;/del&gt;to &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;explore the game world while carrying Lou in his pod &lt;/del&gt;which is &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;attached &lt;/del&gt;to &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;his chest&lt;/del&gt;. &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;He develops a bond with Lou similarly &lt;/del&gt;to &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;how a parent does &lt;/del&gt;with &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;a child (he does carry Lou around like a mom)&lt;/del&gt;. &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;In fact&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;motherhood might be just as important &lt;/del&gt;a &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;theme as fatherhood in _ [https://Deathstranding2World.com/ Death Stranding 2 DLC|Https://deathstranding2world&lt;/del&gt;.&lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;com/] Strandin&lt;/del&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Whether directly or not, Red Dead Redemption 2 ** and Death Stranding** both deal with &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;theme &lt;/del&gt;of &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;fatherhood in a major way. The settings &lt;/del&gt;of the &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;two games are quite different from each other, with the former taking place &lt;/del&gt;in the &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;American old west while the latter is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi game&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;but the main characters in &lt;/del&gt;both &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;stories deal &lt;/del&gt;with &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;fatherhood or father figures &lt;/del&gt;throughout the &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;entirety of the games&lt;/del&gt;. &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;The theme of fatherhood is also especially significant in the predecessor to &lt;/del&gt;_ &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Red Dead Redemption &lt;/del&gt;2 _ and &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;and other Kojima games before _ Death Strandin&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Things have been quiet at Kojima Productions since the release of Death Stranding for PS4 and the subsequent launch by 505 games that brought the title to PC. This has some fans wondering if Kojima Productions is working on a Death Stranding sequel &lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;either picking up directly after the ending of the original, or exploring the stories of other characters during the same t&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Based off of Arthur’s description of the events, it’s clear that the murder-robbery had taken a deep mental toll on him which could partially explain why he eventually wanted &lt;/del&gt;to &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;convince John Marston so badly to run away with his wife and son before their lifestyle finally caught up with them. He felt that John still had a chance to become a decent father, so he helped him out. &lt;/del&gt;Arthur &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;was able to come to this decision much quicker after he realized how crazy &lt;/del&gt;Dutch &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;had bec&lt;/del&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The rate at which Geoff Keighleyâ€™s continued recognition of giraffes is going, I believe heâ€™ll be making it mandatory that his industry friends incorporate a giraffe of some sort into all of their projects by the year 2021. Eventually, weâ€™ll be seeing giraffes becoming a national video game icon, and weâ€™ll have Geoff to thank or hate.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;But &lt;/del&gt;that&lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;&amp;#039;s still two years away&lt;/del&gt;, and &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;that means that there are still &lt;/del&gt;a &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;lot &lt;/del&gt;of &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;great &lt;/del&gt;games &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;releasing exclusively on &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;PS4&lt;/del&gt;. &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Some of &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;games expected &lt;/del&gt;in &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;2019 are probably some of &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;most highly&lt;/del&gt;-&lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;anticipated &lt;/del&gt;games in &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;recent years.

Arthur’s conflict &lt;/ins&gt;, both with &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Dutch and himself, &lt;/ins&gt;throughout the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;game has a few similarities to a &amp;quot;normal&amp;quot; father-son relationship&lt;/ins&gt;. &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;In &lt;/ins&gt;_ &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;RDR &lt;/ins&gt;2&lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;, &lt;/ins&gt;_ &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;when Dutch continually puts Arthur’s ideas down &lt;/ins&gt;and &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;constantly questions his loyalty&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;it starts &lt;/ins&gt;to &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;make &lt;/ins&gt;Arthur &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;doubt not only &lt;/ins&gt;Dutch &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;but also hims&lt;/ins&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The rate at which Geoff Keighleyâ€™s continued recognition of giraffes is going, I believe heâ€™ll be making it mandatory that his industry friends incorporate a giraffe of some sort into all of their projects by the year 2021. Eventually, weâ€™ll be seeing giraffes becoming a national video game icon, and weâ€™ll have Geoff to thank or hate.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Fatherhood in _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ might be a little more subtle as a theme than it was in the first game. Main character Arthur Morgan fights against time in many different ways throughout the story of the game, so it’s not particularly surprising &lt;/ins&gt;that &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;he doesn’t really have the chance to play the role of father in the game. Arthur actually once had a son, which he reveals through a missable side conversation in the story&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;but he &lt;/ins&gt;and &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;his mother were murdered in &lt;/ins&gt;a &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;robbery before the events &lt;/ins&gt;of &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;_ RDR &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Popular faces seem to be appearing more and more in video &lt;/ins&gt;games&lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;. Weâ€™ve seen Keanu Reeves starring as Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077 , Hideo Kojima has pulled nearly half of Hollywood into Death Stranding , and Fortnite keeps adding popular icons such as Batman . But thereâ€™s one person who continues to try and insert a specific animal into games: Geoff Keighley.Mr. Keighley, an ex-host for GameTrailers TV, and a freelance writer for various outlets started up his own awards show in 2014 titled The Game Awards. The award ceremony is designed to celebrate achievements in the video game industry. Youâ€™ll no doubt see him at numerous video game events and enjoying his friendships with famous faces in &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;industry&lt;/ins&gt;. &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;The year 2013 seems to be &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;first year I can find &lt;/ins&gt;in &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;which Geoff Keighley begins to harp on about giraffes a noticeable amount. It seems to have started with just sharing his delight about &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;long&lt;/ins&gt;-&lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;necked creatures, but has slowly escalated to become his brand. Now, it looks as though heâ€™s trying to forcefully include giraffes in popular video &lt;/ins&gt;games&lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;.Back &lt;/ins&gt;in &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;2013, &lt;/ins&gt;Naughty &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Dogâ€™s &lt;/ins&gt;The Last of Us &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Â launched on PS3&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;and features &lt;/ins&gt;a &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;scene where Joel and Ellie see some giraffes in an overgrown city . Given Geoffâ€™s current excitement for the upcoming sequel The Last of Us Part II , I believe his adoration towards giraffes in games stems from that very scene. However, on June 4, &lt;/ins&gt;2013, &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Geoff Tweeted that he loves giraffes &lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;referencing the popular Toys R Us mascot&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;a giraffe named Geoffery. He claimed it was because Geoffery spells &lt;/ins&gt;his &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;name with &lt;/ins&gt;a &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;G, as opposed to &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;alternative&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Jeffery. This was in the same month as E3 2013 which Geoff attended and tweeted out a picture of a giraffe wearing &lt;/ins&gt;a &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;bowtie &lt;/ins&gt;that &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Spike TV had provided for &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;event.Later that year&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Geoff brought our attention &lt;/ins&gt;to the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;box art &lt;/ins&gt;of &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Zoo Tycoon featuring a giraffe&lt;/ins&gt;. &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;This clearly delighted Geoff &lt;/ins&gt;as &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;it truly meant the Xbox One-exclusive launch title was bringing next-generation giraffes running on &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;new Microsoft console. Little did &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;industry know what &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;man had in store &lt;/ins&gt;for &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;video game giraffes in the future.A year later in 2014&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Geoff asked someone on Twitter if there was going to be &lt;/ins&gt;a &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;playable giraffe &lt;/ins&gt;in a &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;video game. Sadly&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Twitter seems to have lost &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;original Tweet, so &lt;/ins&gt;all &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;we can do is speculate on whatever game heâ€™s referencing. Itâ€™s likely safe to say &lt;/ins&gt;that &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;he mentioned giraffes occasionally online &lt;/ins&gt;and &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;in replies to people, but as the years went on, his giraffe plan began &lt;/ins&gt;to &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;formulate even more. Giraffe Town , &lt;/ins&gt;a &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;game in which you play as &lt;/ins&gt;a &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;weird clumsy giraffe launched on PC in 2018&lt;/ins&gt;, and &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Geoff caught wind of it and shared it . However, he seemed to be under the impression &lt;/ins&gt;that &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;it was a spin-off title starring &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;giraffe from The Last of Us . No one seemed &lt;/ins&gt;to &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;clarify that it was an unrelated giraffe&lt;/ins&gt;.&lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Living in adoration for his video game giraffes took a dramatic turn these past two years. The Last of Us Part II was still heavily under wraps when Geoff Keighley and Naughty Dogâ€™s Neil Druckmann began publicly talking about him having &lt;/ins&gt;a &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;part in the upcoming &lt;/ins&gt;sequel as &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;a giraffe. Geoff sent Neil various videos of him acting and singing as an Animoji giraffe , &lt;/ins&gt;and &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;his potential inclusion looked promising. However, we since haven&amp;#039;t heard of Keighley&amp;#039;s involvement being confirmed&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;but &lt;/ins&gt;the game &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;is still to launch, so thereâ€™s a possibility.This year, it started &lt;/ins&gt;to &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;look as if Geoffâ€™s dream &lt;/ins&gt;of &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;having his favorite giraffe &lt;/ins&gt;in &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;video games was becoming a success&lt;/ins&gt;. &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Geoff had changed his profile picture to &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;giraffe from The Last &lt;/ins&gt;of &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Us on September 23&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;but there was something odd. The giraffe was actually hologram&lt;/ins&gt;-&lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;styled similarly to what is seen in Hideo Kojimaâ€™s [https://deathstranding2world.com/ Death Stranding 2 cheats|https://deathstranding2world.com/] Stranding . We know that Geoff and Kojima have met up &lt;/ins&gt;in &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;the past&lt;/ins&gt;. &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Hell, even Geoff himself is in Death Stranding as &lt;/ins&gt;a &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;hologram , so thereâ€™s &lt;/ins&gt;a &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;very good &lt;/ins&gt;chance &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;that heâ€™s nudged his favorite giraffe &lt;/ins&gt;into the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;game as well. The Last &lt;/ins&gt;of &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Us Part II was then ready to be revealed to the public some more this past month &lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;and Geoff took the opportunity &lt;/ins&gt;to &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;tweet that there would be an important update on &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;status &lt;/ins&gt;of &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;giraffes in &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;game &lt;/ins&gt;. &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;We were, of course, not informed of any giraffes being in the game, but going by the Animoji musical situation earlier in &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;year, we may just see Geoffâ€™s favorite giraffe making a cameo.&lt;/ins&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The vehicles are a strong point of contention for players, considering that they imply that they&amp;#039;ll be able to trivialize some deliveries, but they also don&amp;#039;t exactly move over unsteady terrain all that well. Combine this with the fact that most of Death Stranding &amp;#039;s artful aesthetic is built around landscapes that have been reclaimed by nature or wreckage of bombed cities, and the available vehicles almost require roads to be built. So, a new focus on vehicles to give them a better give and take on which terrain they can travel across and how much they can hold as a result is an improvement a sequel should aim &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;PlayStation 4 owners are in for a real treat in 2019, at least when it comes to exclusive games on the consoles.

He develops a bond with Lou similarly to how a parent does with a child (he does carry Lou around like a mom). In fact, motherhood might be just as important a theme as fatherhood in _ [https://Deathstranding2World.com/ Death Stranding 2 DLC|Https://deathstranding2world.com/] Strandin&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Whether directly or not, Red Dead Redemption 2 ** and Death Stranding** both deal with the theme of fatherhood in a major way. The settings of the two games are quite different from each other, with the former taking place in the American old west while the latter is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi game, but the main characters in both stories deal with fatherhood or father figures throughout the entirety of the games. The theme of fatherhood is also especially significant in the predecessor to _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ and and other Kojima games before _ Death Strandin&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Things have been quiet at Kojima Productions since the release of Death Stranding for PS4 and the subsequent launch by 505 games that brought the title to PC. This has some fans wondering if Kojima Productions is working on a Death Stranding sequel , either picking up directly after the ending of the original, or exploring the stories of other characters during the same t&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Based off of Arthur’s description of the events, it’s clear that the murder-robbery had taken a deep mental toll on him which could partially explain why he eventually wanted to convince John Marston so badly to run away with his wife and son before their lifestyle finally caught up with them. He felt that John still had a chance to become a decent father, so he helped him out. Arthur was able to come to this decision much quicker after he realized how crazy Dutch had bec&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The rate at which Geoff Keighleyâ€™s continued recognition of giraffes is going, I believe heâ€™ll be making it mandatory that his industry friends incorporate a giraffe of some sort into all of their projects by the year 2021. Eventually, weâ€™ll be seeing giraffes becoming a national video game icon, and weâ€™ll have Geoff to thank or hate.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;But that&amp;#039;s still two years away, and that means that there are still a lot of great games releasing exclusively on the PS4. Some of the games expected in 2019 are probably some of the most highly-anticipated games in recent years. Not only will Naughty Dog finally release The Last of Us 2 , a follow-up to its 2013 zombie action adventure title, but Hideo Kojima should, hopefully, release Death Stranding , his first title since his controversial departure from Konami. The new year will bring a little something for everyone on the PlayStatio&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So, there&amp;#039;s a strange turning point that comes after reaching the first of Cliff Unger&amp;#039;s war beaches, where the player is suddenly given the ability to kill enemies with the introduction of lethal weapons. However, as Kojima Productions writes through the gameplay , the lack of ludonarrative dissonance means that the player is heavily punished for killing enemies, but is given almost no reward for doing so. It&amp;#039;s a positive in a storytelling sense, but leaves the player with all these weapon options that are really meaningless and could be explored further to give a stronger risk/reward factor for straight up mur&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;If this is the case and Kojima Productions is looking at continuing Death Stranding into a series, then there are a few critiques and requests that the sequel may need to address. Similarly, there are some natural improvements that a sequel can make as both gaming technology improves with next-gen consoles and PC hardware, as well as the capabilities with in the game world evol&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Imagine being one of the last samurai to exist on the Japanese island of Tsushima during the first Mongol invasion in 1274. This is the premise behind Ghost of Tsushima , Sucker Punch&amp;#039;s action-adventure title set for release in 2019. The game will feature a vast open world for players to explore based on that historical setting while getting a chance to step into the shoes of a samurai warrior named Jin, who must learn to master a new fighting style called the &amp;quot; way of the ghost .&amp;quot; His mission is to defeat the Mongols and fight for his and his people&amp;#039;s free&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
