The dark main hallway of Kojima Productions feels like a cinema corridor. Its black walls are adorned with giant film posters for Death Stranding, with side routes leading to meeting rooms and facilities rather than screens. Along another section of wall are a series of signed plaques and polaroids from various stars of film, games, music, and beyond who have each visited the studio.

Hideo Kojima already has a concept in mind for Death Stranding 3, but doesn't plan to make it himself.

Every few weekends, my wife and I go for a drive in Los Santos. Itineraries vary. Sometimes we get a submarine and explore the oceans. Sometimes, inspired by shows like Million Dollar Listing and Selling Sunset, we head up to the Hills and have a pleasant in-game evening racing through rich people's backyards. My wife knows the game much better than me, which makes for an unusual dynamic. I know Los Angeles, which Los Santos is based on, but she is far more familiar with Rockstar's version. In other words, I'm often a backseat passenger in the endless lateral tracking shot that defines the common experience of both of these car-centric cities.

Stop me if this headline sounds familiar: late period Sony PS4 title receives PS5 remaster. Yes, it's yet another Sony refurbishing bonanza, this time focusing on Sony Bend's underappreciated 2019 gem Days Gone. But unlike recent PS5 remastering efforts, this is much more than a simple resolution bump or frame-rate enhancement, packing new lighting effects that can transform the game's appearance. Does Days Gone stick the landing on PS5 and PS5 Pro consoles? And can Sony Bend improve on the PS4 code without introducing visual compromises along the way?
