Along with that, you can bring an AI bot to help carry cargo, which makes the more daring and intensive cargo missions easier to handle. You'll also have access to an exo-skeleton early in the game to help with heavy loads and improve movement speeds. Many players online expressed how unforgiving the opening of Sam's journey was, and the Director's Cut sees several of the map's BT encounters dialed down to a degree. The Director's Cut also gives the game's pacing and gameplay some welcome tweaks, most notably during the opening hours.
It's a ridiculous use of the hardware, but it's one of many things that helps get you into this world, and it's certainly effective. (Stick with me on this: Eventually, if you drink enough water to keep Sam hydrated, he'll need to relieve himself.) You especially get the "feel" of Sam relieving himself with the haptic sensors it starts with a steady vibration that slowly lets up as he empties his bladder. It also works during the more unusual actions, such as urinating. The haptic sensors get a lot of play with this game, allowing you to get a sense of uneven terrain and helping you stay in rhythm when exploring. However, the haptic feedback is an especially great addition, which gives you a better feel of every step the protagonist takes. The improved resolution and framerate alone are fantastic improvements, rendering the world in even more stunning detail.
With the Death Stranding: Director's Cut, which PS4 owners can upgrade to for $10, the original game is boosted to run at 4K/60FPS, featuring faster loading, and additional haptic vibration feedback using the PS5's DualSense controller. The Director's Cut of Death Stranding features a lot of new tools to test out, and you can capture your favorite moments of action in the photo mode. I respect the hell out of Death Stranding, and I got a lot of enjoyment from experiencing it again with the Director's Cut, which enhances the core gameplay while adding some welcome tweaks to the game's pacing. I never thought a game about delivering packages and avoiding ghosts with a cloned baby at your side would be one of my favorite games in recent years, but here we are. But for me, Death Stranding offered a meditative and surprisingly emotional experience that had me hooked from beginning to end. It can undoubtedly be a contentious game to get a grasp of - especially in the opening hours. This new edition not only presents the perfect opportunity to revisit a game that had some eerie parallels with the COVID-19 pandemic but also features one of the most visually alluring worlds ever built. Two years after its debut, this bizarre open-world game about delivering cargo and doing your best under traumatic circumstances has gotten an enhanced re-release for the PS5 in the form of Death Stranding: Director's Cut.
