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.
  
  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
