Are Death Stranding and Metal Gear Solid Too Reliant on Cinematics?

Are Death Stranding and Metal Gear Solid Too Reliant on Cinematics?

Hideo Kojima's games have long been known for their cinematic storytelling and immersive narratives, but just how much of these experiences are comprised of cutscenes? Recent analysis reveals that a significant portion of both "Death Stranding" and the "Metal Gear Solid" series consists of non-interactive cinematic sequences.

In "Death Stranding," players can expect to engage in gameplay for only a fraction of the total experience, with cutscenes making up nearly half of the game's runtime. This reliance on cinematics raises questions about player engagement and the balance between storytelling and interactive gameplay.

Similarly, the "Metal Gear Solid" franchise, renowned for its intricate plots and character development, also showcases a heavy emphasis on cutscenes. Players often find themselves watching lengthy sequences that can detract from the action-oriented gameplay.

As the industry evolves, the challenge remains for developers to create a harmonious blend of narrative and gameplay, ensuring that players remain actively involved in the story while still enjoying the rich cinematic experiences that Kojima's titles are known for.
