Kojima says connections are very important in the game,even that some of the Death Stranding NPCs will even play a role in characters' deaths.

It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.

Death Stranding is coming to streaming in the form of a new animated series.

Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima wants AI to handle "tedious task" in order to cut down on development time and cost.
Cool, as long as no one is losing their job while already rich people make more money.
I’m all in favor for faster developed games.. that’s been the Achilles heel this gen.. taking 5+ years for development. If it can help with building vast landscapes then let it be. A win win if it doesn’t endanger the jobs of current team. They can help in other areas.
I don't doubt kojima that he has good intentions and would use AI without compromising the creative process, but you know for sure other development will say the same and have AI make the whole game for them.
What I wonder about, let’s say five years from now. Will an individual be able to make a triple A title using A.I…If so what would be the need for others? I hate to say it but eventually people will loose their jobs. Because I hear no talk about the ethics of using A.I. among the big companies.
oh my god this is incredible
Calling it now. This game is going to get somewhat inflated reviews due to being a new Kojima title. Despite the strong scores, reviews will note dull gameplay but amazing "experience". Six months down the line gamers, and publications alike will start asking "wasn't this game lacking"?
I doubt it’ll be any main story NPC’s just guys like Geoff Keighley and any other random NPC’s you find in the game world.
