Is it weird that we now don't see anything strange about the Bridge Baby in Death Stranding? We've seen the child almost as much as Sam Porter Bridges himself, and it now almost feels natural for Norman Reedus to be carrying around a baby in an incubator full of golden liquid. Of course! The infant is a big part of the mysterious narrative, acting as a bridge between the two worlds, and helping Sam find the dangerous BTs.
It's important, in other words, and so you'll need to look after it as you traverse the desolate United States. If the baby is stressed or scared, it'll get upset and start crying, and you'll need to calm it down. Now, Hideo Kojima has revealed that, for added immersion, you can have the baby's voice transmit through your DualShock 4's speaker.
To have a blockbuster game send a baby's laughs, calls, and cries through your TV is one thing, but to have it coming from your controller will certainly add to the effect. It's one of those features you might have to try once and see if you like it -- but expect some weird looks if others are in the room.
What do you think of this? Will you have the Bridge Baby's voice playing through your PS4 controller, or stick to the traditional method? Don't throw a tantrum in the comments below.

Wow I hope my Mrs doesn't want another baby after playing this
Oh 👶 baby you.you got what i need.but. you with norman reedus and its a hideo kojima game.haha.word up son
So creepy lol this game is going to be crazy (hopefully the good kind of crazy).
Nope, I'm out. Yoshi's Island gave me enough screaming baby PTSD.
No it won't, I turned that tinny waste of battery life off 5 years ago and it's staying that way!
Does anybody know if the controller will be sold separately too?
Get muted kid
I like it when devs use the DS4 speaker. It really adds to the immersion.
As long as it doesn't vomit and poo on me as well
I turned that speaker right off when I heard the po po radio coming out of it whilst playing GTAV.
I'm just going to say it, I like the look of that piss yellow controller.
(The first step is admitting you have a problem.)
Glad to see I'm not the only one that keeps the speaker on the DualShock 4 muted.
I muted it when I played Killzone Shadow Fall on my shiny new PS4. Hearing audio burst out of my controller made me find the volume setting so fast lmao.
I hope we get to tickle it with the touchpad as well.
If we can name it I'm naming my Eevee.
I love my BB. Also, the Death Stranding logo on the touchpad is a really cool feature that you couldn’t see in the reveal for that special edition.
That sounds horrible. Heck I want a way to mute the baby completely in the game and just use visual cues instead. Last thing I want is to be hearing baby cries all the time.
Can't think of anything worse. Way to break the immersion. How about being clever with the sound mix instead? If there's something within a game that's meant to sound like it's coming through a 10 pence speaker then the controller's speaker will be well suited. Otherwise I'll stick with my very capable surround sound system, thank you very much.
Remember back in the Dreamcast days with the add on memory until and games like Skies of Arcadia where it would rumble and show a picture of Cuple the silver little blob. I would prefer that instead of crying babies or giggles
