Ghost in the Shell Creator Praises Death Stranding

4
Ghost in the Shell will always be a legendary anime, seemingly setting the goalpost for a lot of movies and franchises to strive for. In a similar vein, the games of Hideo Kojima have been paramount in the medium of video games, with the Metal Gear Solid series being one of the most beloved games for many fans across the world. Now, the creator of Ghost in the Shell, Masamune Shirow, has given his thoughts on the divisive release from Hideo Kojima which follows the deliveryman Sam as he attempts to reunite a dystopian America. What were Shirow's thoughts on Death Stranding?

Twitter User OtakuCalenderJP shared Shirow's thoughts on the game, clearly affected by the environment and setting that Kojima had put together to bring this brand new world to Playstation 4 players, taking serious risks to tell a story all his own:


Both Ghost in the Shell and Death Stranding present futures that are very different from our own, wrapped in technologies that we can only dream of. With humanity and tech blending into a seemingly unnoticeable combination, both universes have their own dangers for humanity and greatly change our race as time continues to march forward. While Kusanagi and Sam have extremely different roles, they both still act as fantastic protagonists for audiences to see the world through their eyes.

What have you thought about Death Stranding so far? Do you feel that the worlds of Death Stranding and Ghost in the Shell are similar?
