Hi @ Dissident93:,
I removed the line because it is unnecessary to point out that something *isn't* known. If there is no release date that can be mentioned, the absence of it makes it clear. There is no information on microtransactions currently either, but we don't say that either. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 19:41, 27 September 2016 (UTC) soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 19:41, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
What if one was to go online after seeing the death stranding trailer in order to find the release date of the aforementioned game only to find no line on Wikipedia denoting that the release date is to be announced?

I added info about the planned PC release and someone removed it. Is it deconfirmed or something? ~T900Kassem
I'm deleting the "The possibility of a PC version": the Q&A was not only never verified by anyone (it was as good as a reddit rumor), it doesn't even exist in the source which cites it. The only point of including this is for someone to find a way and contact the Sony employee (Lucas Liaskos @ PadPoet EU Community Manager for PlayStation) that the Q&A is credited to Virtuous.Gizzard ( talk) 15:34, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
Our back and forth has not changed the fact that the PC mention is unverifiable and thus has no place on a wiki page. Lucas Liaskos, the European Community Manager at Sony Interactive Entertainment Europe that the Q&A posting is attributed to DOES NOT want to put his name behind it. The reason the Q&A made the rounds was that it was attributed to him. Without that, it carries no weight so you are wrong: regardless the fact it was mentioned on many cites, it is unusable. You tried to make this matter personal by saying "I don't like the info" which is irrelevant. Discussing the nature of the information belongs to another forum. I could argue that since half of Kojima's games were ported on PC, the same could apply to DS but that is not what we are talking about. We are discussing HOW verifiable this content is. Content which has no signature, no credible name or brand behind it cannot be used on a wiki page. You have been very unwilling to work me since I have been trying to keep you up to date with this reddit originating rumor and you keep talking about credible websites. Virtuous.Gizzard ( talk) 07:06, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
The extent of the coverage by no means makes it verifiable. As I have been pointing out since the beginning the VERY reason the rumor made it out of reddit and gave it credibility was the name of the European Community Manager. Without it is as good as a speculation. Other important details we are omitting are 1) that the Q&A was suspiciously deleted from medium within the same day it was posted 2) the Q&A does NOT mention the names of the parties invovled. Up to that point Kojima was doing all of the game's press so the name of the Kojima Pro staff member that gave this information not being mentioned also makes it suspicious. Virtuous.Gizzard ( talk) 07:18, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
Taking this discussion to your talk page was careless mistake, I bookmarked this wrong thing ! But on topic you are categorically wrong: the fact that many websites reported on a "LEAKED" Q&A without names or a signature does not make it credible. I would not object on an admin settling this.

In a section about pre-release reception the game is said to have caused public "uproar". I believe this term is the wrong as it carries negative connotations and should be replaced with something more positive such as "has been subject to acclaim" or similar. CriticalHazard ( talk) 00:18, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
On the official PlayStation website, a description of the game's plot appears. It's very short, but it explains how the death stranding is a phenomenon in the game. Paraphrasing, could it be used for a "Plot" section? Temporarily, I mean.
Furthermore there is this. A summary wrote by Kojima, about his intentions and what has been the development of the game since 2016 to today, where for example it is officially revealed that Sam is a blue-collar worker. Precious source, for the "Development" section, which I think now should grow up to introduce important details (as well as for example, the fact that he discovered the music of Low Roar by chance, then used the song in the trailer), also because, sincerely, I saw the same thing also on other video games articles, so I do not see why it should be different here.
In conclusion I found this information, which indicates how Death Stranding is one of the games with the most viewed trailers in the E3 2018 period; could it be used in the "Reception" section? Unfortunately the source is not among the "Reliable sources", this automatically excludes it? Lone Internaut ( talk) 07:16, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Add the last key art as the pic. It's w/Sam btw Koops 00 ( talk) 02:23, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
The current main picture of the article displays a fan art and is not official (the one within the short summary in the top right corner). I propose to change it to the official box cover art.

I don't think fan art is supposed to be on a wikipage, especially if there are official alternatives that can be used.

It's not necessarily a fan art. source: https://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/1171954684472332288 Panda619 ( talk) 15:39, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

Is it necessary that page protection placed on this article since late 2017 is still to be implemented and continued indefinitely? From what I've seen it appears a lot of the vandalism that occurred stemmed from speculative pre-release details, with a few instances of nonsense edits referring to Rick & Morty and someone's Twitter that surely has been forgotten about in the 2 years since. -- Wikibenboy94 ( talk) 15:27, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
@ Dissident93: Surely there's a better way than to present two publishers on four lines... – PhilipTerryGraham ( talk · articles · reviews) 03:02, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
This can be up to interpretation but considering this is the first video game where actors are more acting in it's entirely (à la Avatar) than just voice acting I am wondering if we should consider adding a cast section similar to how a film page does. The final trailer of the game even has a sequence titled "Starring" and then showing a shot for each main character, along with "Special Appearance" for Guillermo del Toro and Nicolas Winding Refn. I believe I am biased as being a Kojima fan so I thought it would be better to ask here instead of just requesting an edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ptwinters ( talk • contribs) 11:22, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
I don't know if it is worth voicing this: I came to this article seeking information after reading about the idea on the BBC. After reading the article three times I would find it difficult to say what I have learned. I am hesitant to edit because I am not a gamer and so I am unsure whether it is the badly explained gaming concepts, the need for inside information or "just" the writing style which is poor. It definitely needs someone with a good style and a clear grasp of grammar and sentence structure to edit it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexthurleyratcliff ( talk • contribs) 22:32, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
The plot section has some severe grammar and spelling mistakes. Any way someone can clean that up? Devin1229 ( talk) 23:29, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
this sounds like it was written by someone for whom English is a second language. I haven't played the game so I'll defer an edit to someone who can do it accurately and more completely. my attempt to correct basic mistakes below:
″A proficient courier afraid of human contacts named Sam Porter Bridges ( Norman Reedus) is on his way to a delivery of smart drugs when a Timefall suddenly begins, killing crows on the way. He then try to avoid it but has an accident when he thinks that he killed a woman who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, resulting in losing his motorcycle. He then finds refuge in a cave but is saved by the woman, named Fragile ( Léa Seydoux), from the "accident", from a BT. When she leaves, Sam continues his delivery. Arrived at Central Knot City, he meets Igor and is tasked to take a dead corpse to the nearest incinerator to avoid attracting BTs. The nearest is known to be full of BTs but they have no choice. The mission goes horribly wrong when Igor and his assistant are killed by BTs; However, Sam is saved. He awakes and meets Deadman ( Guillermo del Toro), a doctor from Bridges. Sam is then tasked to deliver morphine for the dying president of the UCA.″

I'm new to Wikipedia so I don't know how this works. Anyways, at the end of the Plot section, I think maybe we could add some extra info. Some context, there's Timefall, rain that ages everything it touches. There's also an inverted rainbow that signals a Timefall, and this rainbow does not include the color blue due to it's connection to the Beach. At the end of the game, Sam walks into the rain, but he does not age rapidly. Also, there's a normal rainbow that includes the color blue. This indicates that the world is reverting back to normal. I thought it would be good to include this info at the end, but obviously shortened down. I'm a bad writer so I don't know how to write it in a clear and concise way. What do you guys think? Do you think this info worth adding onto the end? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DahJokahBaybee ( talk • contribs) 02:45, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

The game was also plagued by fake reviews on Metacritic which resulted in a very low 5.1 rating.

Why are people so stupid to add "Citation needed" to everything in sight, if they don't even bother reading the article and seeing that there is already multiple citations for this in the last section and if this user can't be bothered to even read the articles they should not be allowed to edit them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.195.135.99 ( talk) 10:54, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
Under setting the following is discussed:
BTs cause explosions known as "voidouts" when they consume the dead by necrosis, and produce rain known as "Timefall" that rapidly ages and deteriorates whatever it hits.
However in the game it is explained that BTs come from death bodies via a process of necrosis. However voidouts are caused when BTs consume an living body. In the first mission where Sam has to carry a dead body that undergoes necrosis. One of the Bridges cred shoots another member of the crew who is dragged away by a BT to avoid a voidout. However when that same member of Bridges is taken, he loses his gun and is unable to kill himself. Thusly he starts to stab himself trying to die before he is consumed. -this fails- and thus a voidout is caused that takes out central knot city.
so that sentence should be something like the following:
BTs are created from the dead via a process called necrosis. When they consume a living human being they create and explosion known as a void out.
However English is not my native language so i am not entirely sure that the wording is suitable.

Change the sentance:
BTs cause explosions known as "voidouts" when they consume the dead by necrosis, and produce rain known as "Timefall" that rapidly ages and deteriorates whatever it hits.
To
BTs are created from the dead via a process called necrosis. When they consume a living human being they create and explosion known as a void out. They also produce rain known as "Timefall" that rapidly ages and deteriorates whatever it hits.
Reason:
It is explained in the game's intro mission that BTs come from the dead from necrosis, but they only create a voidout when they consume an living body. This is the center of the intro mission where Sam takes a dead body to the incinerator together with other members of bridges corps disposal. Betrayedcover ( talk) 14:34, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi! Everyone should know that "On the Beach" is also the title to a very post-apocalyptic movie from 1959. I'd like to see the words "On the Beach" as a direct link to the Wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Beach_(1959_film)
Really that's all, just a link for educational purposes! Thanks. 98.201.8.131 ( talk) 04:10, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Change the sentence "A director's cut was released for the PlayStation 5 and Windows in September 2021, followed by a release for Windows in March 2022." in the first paragraph for example to "A director's cut was released for the PlayStation 5 in September 2021, followed by a release for Windows in March 2022.". Otherwise it sounds like there were two Windows releases. Noric Forge ( talk) 15:32, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
