A game set in Australia where you deliver the vtuber Usada Pekora pizza. Kojima is a visionary

I like the callout to On the Beach, fits well with a post apocalyptic Australian game (it's a good book, albeit not one you want to read if you're already feeling down).

Well that's made me a lot more interested. I've heard a bit about it, but this is the first time I've seen the setting mentioned.

Unfortunately apart from a solitary roo nothing about it really looks like an Australian setting in the trailer. Maybe it's not entirely set in Oz.

[–] Sternhammer@aussie.zone 2 points 3 days ago

The first game is set in North America but mostly looks like Iceland. I don’t have high hopes that Kojima’s Australia will be recognisably Australia.

Oh well. I was gonna wait until it was free on EGS anyway, just like the last one.

When they showed some of the flash flooding tech shit, I thought maybe Wyoming.

@maniacalmanicmania don’t see Eucalyptus or Acacia there.

It is very strange. I don't know anything about these games. Has the geology of the world radically changed? Would that explain the landscapes I see in the trailer?

I like the look of Big Walk. If I ever get a chance to check it out I can tell I'll feel very much at home.

@maniacalmanicmania yeah there’s elements there, I think Australian bush would be tough to recreate digitally, leaves are thin and strappy, hang down and often sparse. The red in the rocks is always a bit light on to my experience. And the topography just looks young, there are steep bits but few big rolling valleys. We’re too old and eroded
