Coronavirus: Hideo Kojima recommends staying home and reading

The COVID-19 epidemic has caused governments to take extraordinary measures to prevent the spread.

The state of alert has come into force in Spain, a constitutional measure that temporarily restricts the rights of citizens, until the situation returns to its channels. In the midst of the coronavirus crisis (COVID-19), many countries are fighting it with extraordinary measures that require people to stay at home. This has been recommended by Hideo Kojima, father of Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding. The Japanese developer has published on social networks that he recommends reading books before playing video games or watching movies.

“Playing video games at home or watching movies or television is fine, but I recommend reading books in the face of this situation. You may not be able to buy them or you don't know what to read, ”although you consider that there are always books on the shelf at home. "Even the one you've already read: the books are waiting for you to read them," he says. The Japanese creative and his studio, Kojima Productions, was forced to cancel his presence at GDC 2020, an event that has finally been postponed until summer.

Death Stranding, upcoming PC release

The Japanese studio continues to work on future projects, but the next stop will be the release of Death Stranding on PC, published by 505 Games. The game, already available on PS4, will add other additional novelties in compatible, such as, for example, Photo Mode or a crossover between the video game starring Sam Porter Bridges and Half-Life: Alyx, the new title of the well-known franchise, designed for virtual reality.

Death Stranding is a title that narrates its own crisis, called the same game. In the universe of this work, the line that separates life and death is very fine. The Stranded Entities, deceased beings who have anchored themselves in the world of the living, wreak havoc in the acid rain. In this context, Sam Porter Bridges must distribute the merchandise and unite the territory so that humanity has a minimal chance of surviving extinction.
