Death Stranding: New Gameplay Shown Off, Includes Urination Mechanic

Hideo Kojima has revealed the first uncut gameplay of Death Stranding, and it reveals the ability for Norman Reedus’ Sam to urinate and seemingly create mushrooms. Geoff Keighley is also in the game. Honestly.

Presented by creator Hideo Kojima during Gamescom Opening Night Live, the gameplay was teed up as a hint of what will be shown at Tokyo Game Show later this year.

The clip included Sam waking up, taking a pee (which makes a giant mushroom appear), climbing to a station where a holographic figure played by Geoff Keighley (voiced by Matt Mercer) asks him to complete tasks, he falls down a cliff and rocks his Bridge Baby to sleep using motion controls.

As for the wider gameplay, Kojima was coy, but said Sam’s goal is to connect the fractured cities from east to west of the game’s world, which he appears to do by carrying out the deliveries we’ve seen in previous footage. Lone “preppers” can be found in the open world (Keighley’s character being one), who will reward you for help.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate: Get 2 Months For $2

Microsoft first announced Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at E3 2019, and it’s been ramping up its offerings for the subscription ever since. Game Pass Ultimate combines Xbox Live Gold, a service that gets you free monthly games and exclusive discounts, with Game Pass for both Xbox One and PC, which grants you unlimited access to a huge library of games, with new games added regularly. While generally priced at $15 a month, Microsoft is offering a limited-time promotion that lets new subscribers claim two months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $2.

The deal will be available now through September 20. Note that your subscription will automatically renew at full price after the two months unless you cancel.

There’s no better time to try out Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, as Microsoft announced a slew of new games for the service during its Inside Xbox stream before Gamescom 2019. With the subscription, you can dive into games like Devil May Cry 5 and Age of Empires starting today. The two-months-for-$2 deal also coincides with the release of Gears 5, the highly anticipated shooter and sequel to Gears of War 4 scheduled to release September 10. If you have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you’ll be able to install Gears 5 Ultimate Edition during the game’s early access period starting September 6. Gears 5 also has some neat pre-order bonuses worth checking out.

WWE King Of The Ring Predictions And Brackets

After years of not being used, WWE has decided to bring back the King of the Ring tournament. This is a four-round, 16-person event taking place over multiple evenings. The first round of the event will take place on the August 19 episode of Raw, with Round 2 happening on August 20’s Smackdown Live.

This is a tournament that has created plenty of major moments for WWE superstars, including when “Stone Cold” Steve Austin won the 1996 King of the Ring and gave his famous “Austin 3:16” speech after beating Jake “The Snake” Roberts. While not all King of the Ring winners went on to amazing careers in WWE–looking at you, King Mabel–it does elevate the superstar and puts them on everyone’s radar.

There hasn’t been a King of the Ring tournament since 2015, so fans are pretty excited to see its return. Speaking of fans, GameSpot’s Wrestle Buddies, Mat Elfring and Chris E. Hayner have their brackets filled out for this year’s event, and here are who they think will win and lose this year.

Live-Action Mystery Game Erica is Out Now on PlayStation 4

One of the new games announced during the Gamescom Opening Night Live press conference is out now. It’s called Erica, and it’s an FMV thriller from the developers at Flavourworks.

Erica is a mystery-thriller that stars live-action actors who players can interact with using multiple choice options. The players’ decisions will affect how the story plays out similar to Netflix’s Bandersnatch.

Sony Acquires Spider-Man PS4 Developer Insomniac Games

Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced it has acquired Insomniac Games, the developers behind Marvel’s Spider-Man and Ratchet and Clank, as a first-party PlayStation studio.

Sony and Insomniac are in “definitive agreements” to acquire Insomniac, who have long held a partnership with PlayStation throughout the four generations of home PlayStation consoles, from Spyro the Dragon on the original PlayStation through to 2018’s Spider-Man on PS4.

Insomniac will become the 14th studio in Sony’s current lineup of Worldwide Studios development studios.

“Insomniac Games is one of the most highly-acclaimed development studios in the industry and their legacy of best-in class storytelling and gameplay is unparalleled,” Shawn Layden, Chairman of SIE WWS, said in a statement alongside the announcement. “We have enjoyed a strong collaborative partnership with the studio for many years, and are thrilled to officially welcome them to the Worldwide Studios family. The addition of Insomniac Games to SIE WWS reiterates our commitment to developing world class gaming experiences that can only be found on the PlayStation platform.”

New Xbox One Controllers Are Up for Preorder: Sport Blue and Night Ops Camo

I don’t think there’s ever been a better standard controller than the one that comes with Xbox One. But if you’re still using a black or white controller, it might be time to add a splash of color to your gaming life. Microsoft has a wide variety of colorful controllers available, but it has just announced two new special edition designs that look pretty fantastic: Sport Blue and Night Ops Camo. They’ll release later this year for $69.99 each, but you can preorder them now.
