Just today I had this really vivid dream about another game, certainly made by Kojima, with Norman Reedus as the protagonist and many other famous actors as characters.
The game was like a base defender, but just like DS, it was much more than it.
The game universe was passing in a futuristic universe where mining industries where exploring other planets and mining asteroids, this was possible because the existence of portals and futuristic technologies based on computer chips and a magnetic black substance.
We are workers of a mining base established in a desert planet, our job was to secure the mining of the asteroid that was orbiting the planet.
Things start to get serious when we discover the existence of weird monstrous creatures that come from the portals, it's not like the monster of DS, but more like animalistic creatures similar too many creatures seen in the game No Man's Sky. The creatures are really varied and we can see many animals characteristics on them, I remember dreaming about octopus like creatures, a axolotl like creature, and others, all terrestrial animals. There was also bigger monsters, like the Rancors like creatures from the star wars series.
Some of the workers, were equipped with special gear made with this high technological chips that allowed them to control the black magnetic substance, they could use it to create the portals and manipulated it as they see fit, fo defense or attack. Just a few workers had this technology, because it was heavy for the brain. The creatures I mentioned also dropped a tiny bit of this substance.
The game starts like many Kojima games, with a lot of cutscene, where were show information about the current situation. It seems that near or base, a gigantic space ship fell down, and it was full of these creatures. The ship was kept sealed, but the mining operation made equipped soldiers go to interior of the ship to explore and retrieve anything of value, it is still capitalism after all.
We are a character acted by Norman Reedus, we were the best soldier they had, but we made something wrong that put us on jail at the mining base.
At some point, we were just cheeling on our cell with our roommate, when something really weird happened, the wall of our cell got transformed into a corridor, and when we looked back, we weren't inside our cell anymore, but in this corridor, our protagonist recognized the place as being inside the weird ship.
From the end of the corridor, armed and equipped soldiers appeared, and they were running from something. They saw us and questioned how we ended up there, but the conversation had to end quickly when the creatures appeared and started to chase us.
We started to run carrying our roommate, because he wasn't in a good physical condition, but as a veteran soldier that explored this ship, he knew very well the place. He would be my brain, and I would be his muscles.
We proceed to the exit of the ship, while shooting the monsters with a found weapon, the gameplay was similar to DS, but we couldn't control our moviment, we could only aim and fire. There was moments where we switched to first person to shoot many monsters that appeared.
When we reached the exit, we managed to find a path between the sealed path, but we knew there was too much monsters inside the ship at the moment, an abnormal amount that wasn't registered before. My roommate concluded the creatures wasn't from the ship, but were teleported to here, and right now, they are coming non-stop, the seal wouldn't hold on.
We went back running to our base that was pretty close to the ship, the guards of the base pointed gun at us, but dropped the act when they saw it was me. Even I being held in a cell, people seemed to trust and respect me, and when I said what I saw, the entire base went on full alert.
We could enter the base and explore a bit of it's interior while the preparations were set, we saw many of our friends and their rooms, all acted by famous actor, which I couldn't remember.
Everyone was preparing, getting their armor and weapons, and the strongest, equipping their chips gear. That's where the base defence mechanics started, we could mount our base and distribut the soldier as we seem fit. We could now walk free like in DS.
When prepations were read, we saw the creatures leaving the ship, not only by the door, but also by every hole on it, and the chaos started. There were a absurd and anormal amount of monster, we wouldn't be able to hold them, mainly because they were probably coming from a portal inside the ship, so we couldn't know how much of them there were.
We kept shooting, to no result, that's when we asked support to our headquarters, which opened a enormous portal on the space and send us a colossal weapon that fell on a mountain beside our base, the control module, landed beautifully on the rooftop of our base. Somehow, the big weapon had weirdly teleported, and the main feature wasn't working, so while our base was holding ground, we had to go to the mountain to configure it, we didn't had to go on foot, we were also equiped with the chips gears, but instead of teleporting, we controlled the black substance to create a zip line system to the weapon.
Everything went smoothly, and we fixed the gun, but we had to leave the base because of the destructive power of the weapon. To my surprise, our base wasn't just a construction on the planet, it was a mobile base, that could set fly just like a space ship.
With our base flying safely away from the weird ship, we fired the weapon, that launched a missile that destroyed the entire ship and it's creatures, with a potential power much bigger than an atomic bomb, the ship was the size of a star destroyer of the star wars series after all.
The ship was destroyed and the creatures killed, and the portal inside of it closed as it seems, but it was far from over. The portal on space opened to bring the weapon, started to act weirdly, and it was sucking everything up, with an unknown destination. The asteroid with the miners on it and our flying base, now in space, were being sucked in. Our base could scape away from the portal, but the asteroid and it's miners didn't have this possibility.
We settled an emergency evacuation from the asteroid, all remaining soldier were quickly send to it to help the miners, including us. Upon reaching it, we noticed that the creatures we also there, and were attacking the miners.
At this point, we were fighting the creatures and helping the evacuation. We had the opportunity to play with other character, with unic mechanics, a woman equipped with the chips gear that was much more mobile than our protagonist, we kind transformed the game and a melee fighting game, and we could beat the shit out of the monsters with the aid of the black substance.
The evacuation was completed, and the asteroid was being sucked into the portal. We were still controlling the woman, and we didn't know where our protagonist was.
When the asteroid was almost being sucked to the portal, the gigantic motors build on it started to work, and with a astonishing maneuver, the asteroid escaped from the portal. We soon discovered our protagonist was still on the asteroid, and it was him that turned on the motor and made the unthinkable maneuver.
The space portal closed right after, and the chaos ended.
The dream ended with a sequence where we went back to our protagonist and got a time of know many other characters, and discovered a moral and respect system with each character, where we could gain collectibles and unique habilities depending of our level of intimacy with our coworkers. We also had to know a bit about the characters, with nice dialogs and cutscenes.
This was a really cool game, I feel like I player Death Stranding 2 before the launch haha
