What if Death Stranding was released during the same console era as Metal Gear Solid? Game creator miziziziz shows us the possibility by demaking Kojima's latest game to look as if it was a PS1 title, complete with unnecessarily crunchy footsteps and pixelated natural formations. They uploaded a PS1 Death Stranding trailer on Twitter and added some old-school touches to make it seem even more authentic. Check it out below.  

Developer miziziziz created this demade "trailer" in Godot Engine, a free and open source 2D and 3D game engine. The best bit is at the very end when Sam falls down a hill in a hilarious old-school animation that reminds you of both vintage PS1 mechanics and the frustrating feeling of tripping over a pebble when playing Death Stranding on the PS4. Ad oh, that "PlayStation" audio clip at the end of trailer is sending me back.

Did those PS1 graphics remind you that you need a new console? Check out our PS4 Black Friday deals and our Xbox One X Black Friday deals and let us help you upgrade.
