My first time enjoying Dying Stranding 2I am now not ashamed to confess I believed it’d’ve been a live-action shot of a abandoned area near my real-life house of Phoenix, Arizona.
I am not afraid to confess that as a result of individuals on-line are complicated photographs of a real-life desert in Mexico for Dying Stranding 2 screenshots. (For the uninitiated, I reside in the identical Sonoran desert that stretches all through northwestern Mexico and southwestern United States.)
Redditor PangTemujin shared a sequence of real-life footage they took exploring the majestic canyons of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park close to the Mexico border in southern California, and says they’re “satisfied Kojima” used the locale as inspiration for Dying Stranding 2. And certainly, the pictures look similar to the opening space the place you ship your first bundle within the recreation.
So related, the truth is, that a number of commenters admitted they mistook the pictures for Dying Stranding 2 screenshots.
“This recreation is so wild that as I fast scrolled via, I believed these had been screenshots. Like ‘yeah cool identical intro I watched and other people have posted 1,000,000 occasions, no matter’
“After which it hit me,” replied Arachnid1 within the put up’s prime reply with 254 upvotes on the time of writing.
“Which is which,” stated a Twitter consumer reacting to the identical photographs.
“Protected to say Kojima Productions managed to attain photograph realism with DS2,” stated the Twitter consumer who shared the photographs.
As somebody who does a number of mountain climbing in similar-looking vistas in Arizona, I fully relate with PangTemujin considering instinctively, “that is my neighborhood!” when enjoying the primary a part of Dying Stranding 2. Even the monsoon that strikes the realm shortly after is extraordinarily acquainted to anybody who’s spent a number of time within the area.
After all, the remainder of Dying Stranding 2’s map is not almost as paying homage to the arid Sonoran desert as you discover a extra tropical area of the map clearly impressed by the extra central components of Mexico after which journey over to Australia, however these first couple of hours are a surreal deal with for desert dwellers.
