Popular Post JoaLoft Posted November 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2019 I don't know if this has been shared by people over here yet, but regardless: I thought I'd drop this here. Today happens to be my birthday, and I decided to start up Death Stranding to play a bit. I'm still early on in the game, and exploring at my own pace. Mistakenly pressed the touch pad button to "call out", when I actually needed the map, and ... Well, you can guess what happened. It's a nice little touch. So, you might want to keep this in mind if your birthday is coming up. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iGGTheEnd Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 This is actually so awesome, I was wondering what the birthday selection thing did at the start of the game. Happy birthday to you! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennethMcCormick Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) They do that in at least another Kojima game that I know of. Of course they used the false date I gave them, but still a nice touch Edit: oh! And happy birthday by the way!

JoaLoft Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 Thanks, everyone! Not actively fishing for any birthday wishes, but I thought it was nice to share this little detail with all of you. I'm fairly lucky my birthday takes place one week after Death Stranding's launch, to discover it so early. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 The same thing would happen in MGS 5 guess it's something Kojima likes to do, Happy Birthday! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YTPerfectParadox Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I knew there had to be a little happy birthday in there somewhere like in MGS5! I sat at the birthday screen for a solid 10 minutes trying to decide if i wanted to lie and say it was my birthday that day or go with my actual birthday in case it had some sort of story relevance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killbomb Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) Go rest in your private room on your birthday for another little surprise as I found out on my birthday the other day. Edited November 16, 2019 by Killbomb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feral Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 That's pretty cool touch. If I was playing this I'd have to wait nearly a year to see it since my birthday was 2 days before this came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhm, no, trophy time stamps use a hidden clock you have no power over. It can only be controlled by the Sony servers, hence why you will get a missing time stamp on any trophy earned from a machine that hasn't logged into them before. As for the game, since I haven't played it yet and made sure to remain completely in the dark about it, can someone clarify without spoilers: Are those voices other players that were shown there's someone with a birthday in the vicinity, or are they actually the game itself?

It can only be controlled by the Sony servers, hence why you will get a missing time stamp on any trophy earned from a machine that hasn't logged into them before.< i dont understand what u mean? as i have had my account since before sony even added the option to have trophies in there games and yes what i said about (the timestamp for the trophy as the ps4/any sony system it uses the time/date u set on ur system to put timestamps) it is true i just cant show a example becouse i have so many games i have played it would take me forever to find just 1 example also back in the ps3 era when trophies 1st got released my freind had created a dummy psn account and had time/date/year settings on his ps3 set to different settings to what it actually was...example if it was say **10th/January/2007 he would set it as 19th/December/2010** and all trophies he got on that day would have that date as when he earned them **just used that date as example to prove my point** as for ur Question>> As for the game, since I haven't played it yet and made sure to remain completely in the dark about it, can someone clarify without spoilers: Are those voices other players that were shown there's someone with a birthday in the vicinity, or are they actually the game itself? << i dont know how it was done..
