Death Stranding 2's lavish and slightly leery photo mode is what happens when Kojima has a big budget and no oversight

Polaroid-style pictures taken in Death Stranding 2's photo mode.

Kojima Productions hosted a 90 minute panel at the Tokyo Game Show, during which Hideo Kojima and assorted guest stars introduced around eight minutes of new footage from the bonkers-looking Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Among these was a glimpse at the upcoming game's photo mode, an incredibly lavish take on the idea that initially left me open-mouthed and then with an unmistakeably Hideo Kojima question: Is this genius manifest, or just ever-so-slightly creepy and weird? 

We'll get to Kojima's considerable history with in-game cameras shortly, but the Death Stranding 2 clip shows Sam Porter-Bridges (Norman Reedus) taking pictures of Fragile (Léa Seydoux), Rainy (Shioli Kutsuna), and Tomorrow (Elle Fanning) at various locations within the Magellan, the ship that seems to be your home base. The full clip can be seen during the TGS panel (timestamp) or in the below from Kojima Productions.
