Death Stranding Discussion (12/2016 trailer)

I love how people are at this hype for something we don't even know what it is.

It could be a pachinko simulator for all we know.

2 trailers and zero gameplay would be DESTROYED if was ANY other developer

Kojima does succeed at getting people excited with trailers. MGSV Sins of the Father trailer is still epic. Hopefully the game is good and doesn't falter in game delivery. Will have to see how the game plays. For now, I think getting intrigued by the concept is all well and fine.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
That looked insane. I swear it feels like theres gonna be some cthulhu type shit going down

Beautiful. I love the imagery of this project, it's like the most haunting fever dream.

Mads Mikkelsen as a character in a Kojima game. Very interesting.

Dying to see the actual game design though. Conceptually, it seems to be moving along.

Rewatching the trailer. Del Toro's character has some weird scarring across his forehead. almost like a lobotomy or something.

So I have a theory. Notice how Hannibal directed those soldiers and they followed his directions and the cords disappeared back into him? I think this is going to be a tactical game where you control and move troops? Like any bad ps3 era third person shooter for a brief time, but if Kojima does it I'm 100% down.

Also what has happened to del Toros head on the trailer. Some scar running around it in the front. Cthulhu tanks, undead soldiers, weird ass demon water, fucking Cable, dolls fucking Cable, glowing demon water baby, demon glow portal undead soldiers umbilical cord WTF WTF compasses are useless and baby dolls are scary Fuck that smile Fuck Kojima Fuck del Toro why isn't PC mentioned Fuck fucking I need it more than air

Black holes = Alternate Realities
 
Just noticed something else. The baby toy that all damaged thats floating in the water has its left eye open with the right closed. The baby the Del Toro is holding opens its right eye while leaving its left closed. Not sure what this might be a metaphor for, but it seems intentional
 
This whole thing looks amazing. Look at that IQ!

I wanted to say the the sand looked weird and low res, then I noticed...that's not sand, those are dead sharks o_O

The webs are shooting out from New York. Spider-Man lives in New York. This and that new Spider-Man game are Sony exclusives.

Synergy, baby.

Dammit lol

And the blacks stuff coming out of Mads and the soldiers is the Symbiote

Does the joy of others really upset you that much?

What upsets me is seeing that maternity will probably be a big theme and we didn't see a single woman. From the creator of Quiet.

The post you quoted is more about how Kojima is one of the only devs whose people give this blind trust ... not even Miyamoto manages this level of hype without a single gameplay.
So it is more of a anthropological curiosity about how is that

I think I have even less of a clue what the game is about after seeing the cinematic trailer than i did after seeing the teaser trailer. That being said, I NEED IT.

This is classic Kojima in terms of imagery, but with a whole new world and characters. Fuck yeah.

Which is what's most exciting. The last time he tried something new it was pretty unique and in no small, insignificant way (and without anyone even aware that he was behind it for pete's sake) in that classic indulgent, cryptically over-the-top way, sure, but one we've come to love and/or hate -- I'm putting my faith in him that this new project will carry that torch in the best possible maximized way.
 
Fuck me this trailer was amazing

The first was cool based solely on the music and intrigue of how it could be a game but fuuuuuuuck I need this
 
Did anyone notice that Guillermo Del Toro has scars of surgery stitches and cross section on his forehad (a detail that can only be seen in 4K)? Maybe because of brain surgery or lobotomy.

That tank being part grotesque being was probably Kojima being influenced by Junji Ito on the project.

Looks great. The aliens or whatever they are is a cool premise. Looking forward to playing this in 2020.

That looked so fucking good. I haven't seen a world that I wanna explore in a looooong time as much as this. This is probably going to cost a fortune so please Sony don't go bankrupt before this game is released.
 
Del Toro attaches a cable to the baby jar that is coming in from under his shirt and Mads has multiple (stings?) attaching himself to four soldiers. My theory of what the gameplay is going to be like is that you grow a person during the course of the game from the main character. They start of as a baby and grow into someone you can order around.

Kojima also mentioned about death having meaning so maybe if the main character dies, the person you grown takes over. Think Omikron only well designed.
