• Кодзима об ИИ на фоне обсуждения DLSS 5 в Death Stranding 2: "Мне не нравится эта идея, но она станет стандартом" - 5 October 2026

  Хидео Кодзима высказался по поводу искусственного интеллекта и его все более широкого применения в игровой индустрии, уделив особое внимание взаимосвязи этих технологий с творческим замыслом авторов. Этот разговор также стал реакцией на споры вокруг использования DLSS 5 в Death Stranding 2: геймдизайнер задумался о возможных ограничениях инструментов, способных самостоятельно изменять визуальный облик произведения. В подкасте Koji10 Кодзима признался, что относится к ИИ неоднозначно. По словам разработчика, определённые сферы применения этой технологии могут быть полезны — в частности, реставрация и сохранение аудиовизуальных произведений. Как у творца, эта технология вызывает у меня смешанные чувства. ИИ полезен, например, когда нужно оживить старые фотографии или раскрасить их. Думаю, однажды мы, возможно, перестанем делать ремейки. Скажем, даже сейчас старые фильмы реставрируют до фо…

• Очаровательная Туморроу из Death Stranding 2 получит детализированную фигурку от Hot Toys - 24 September 2026

  Известный производитель коллекционных фигурок Hot Toys совместно с Kojima Productions представил детализированную фигурку героини Туморроу из экшена Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Персонаж пополнит элитную линейку «Artisan Edition» в масштабе 1/6. Коллекционная статуэтка отличается сложным исполнением и высоким качеством материалов. В отличие от стандартных фигурок, Туморроу получила полностью бесшовное силиконовое тело, скрывающее шарнирные сочленения на руках и ногах. Для достижения максимального реализма создатели применили технологию вживления натуральных шерстяных волос и подвижные глазные яблоки, позволяющие менять направление взгляда героини. В комплект поставки вошли тканевое белое платье, посох, набор сменных кистей, кроссовки и диорамная подставка с брызгами хиральной смолы. Несмотря на потрясающий дизайн и внимание к мелким деталям одежды, фанаты уже обратили внимание на че…

• Sony могла отказаться от новой игры Кодзимы Physint из-за продаж Death Stranding 2 - 10 September 2026

  Sony отказалась от издания амбициозной Physint Хидео Кодзимы, и аналитики считают, что одной из причин могли стать продажи Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. При этом разработка Physint продолжается — новым партнером и издателем проекта стала Microsoft, что стало заметным имиджевым успехом для Xbox. Аналитик Серкан Тото из Kantan Games предположил, что Sony могла испугаться заметного падения показателей между первой и второй частями Death Stranding. По его словам, игры Кодзимы дают платформе серьезный маркетинговый и имиджевый эффект, однако слабый результат сиквела мог заставить Sony пересмотреть сотрудничество с разработчиком. Сам Тото отметил, что это «не очень хороший знак». Точные продажи Death Stranding 2 официально не раскрывались. Alinea Analytics оценивает их примерно в 2,5 млн копий. Для сравнения, первая Death Stranding продалась тиражом 5 млн копий к марту 2021 года. По данным…
