I wonder if Reedus actually knew he was going to bear a child and have a c-section in the game.

I want to see his reaction when he saw that.

Kojima asked him what role he wanted to play. He said "I want to be the boss!"

Monkey's paw in action.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

Look at the letters that have stuff dripping from them, its a hidden message.

"EAT STANDING"

This must be how they had to eat at Konami vs Media Molecule's kitchen.

It was also kinda cool to hear Kojima speak English again after a few years of what seemed like some kind of real life Wolbachia metaphor synergy.

 

[Wollan]

Mark Cerny, Hideo Kojima, Shinkawa, Norman Reedus... what a dream team.

 

[Reverend Funk]

Norman Reedus is a cool as heck looking dude

 

[Henkka]

Hitori Nojima is a mysterious writer who has only ever written novelizations of MGS games. He wrote the novels for MGS, MGS2, Peace Walker and Phantom Pain. Nothing else. There are only text interviews with said person. While he has denied it, I think most people believe it is Hideo Kojima himself, or a ghostwriter working under his direction.

That's interesting. Was kinda hoping it would be some new guy. I lost faith in Kojima's story chops after MGSV

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

That was legit. So compelled by this game and its atmosphere already.

WOOF!

Is this how it feels for straight dudes playing games with boobs flying around everywhere? Kojima here to even out the playing field! Most unique trailer of E3 so far.

You still didn't find the hidden Chapter 3? Open your eyes already ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) V has come to

 

[Jackl]

OK gaf, so it's anagram time.

Death Stranding is clearly an anagram of Handstand Tiger.
Could also be Staring Dead Nth or Dad Hating Terns.

I notice the letters in the title that have strands coming off them in the promo images are EAT STING.

...which is obviously TASTE GIN.
Or A SETTING
Or GIANT SET
Or TIE ANGST
Or GAIN TEST
Or TIN GATES
Or STAG NITE

Hard Standing

Post-cataclasm survival horror maybe?

 

[Killroyskbg]

They loom over him; always watching, always there. Inescapable.

Death of his franchise stranding him in a black hole of uncertainty...

Right =P

Much more interesting to look at it that way than just a strange game concept =).

 

[Genio88]

It's the usual Konima madness, and i love it, it's gonna be on PC too right? also i don't expect it until at the very least fall 2017, but perhaps 2018 is more likely

 

[sector4]

I was keeping an eye out for Del Toro's name but didn't see it, that's a shame. I thought Kojima might get him back. No Junji Ito either, but it looks unsettling enough already. I'm super intruiged and can't wait to see what Kojima is cooking up.

If I was to guess I'd go even later, maybe late 2018 at the earliest, 2019 is when I'm expecting it.

Found this stuff looking for memeable material:

https://www.amazon.com/ThanksforalltheNiceness-Fan-Art-Around-World/dp/0989637913

Hardcover – 2014
by Norman Reedus (Author)

I got a feelin' he's into it. Down for whatever.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

I love kojima so much.

 

[Skux]

It's obviously a metaphor for takeaway culture.

 

[eso76]

Yep, that was Kojima af.
Intriguing and amazing.

What engine are they using?

 

[Mr.Fox]

This free Kojima is actually pretty scary, holy shit! That teaser was roller coaster.

 

[wanders]

Kojima trying to make 2001: the videogame

Totally got 2001 vibes

 

[brickarts295]

You know what this means right?!
Kojima edited trailers every E3 for the next 5 years. Come on tell your not hyped for that XD

 

[Coreda]

But he's lazy and hasn't been working on anything amirite.

 

[Elixist]

awesome music and visuals, love the crowd too. "the realness!" XD
kojima dont need no strategic butt coverings, hella intrigued

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

This is what, a 2018/19 game or something? I can't imagine they're far along in dev without an engine at any rate.

 

[Azoor]

This is what, a 2018/19 game or something? I can't imagine they're far along in dev without an engine at any rate.

And I don't imagine them having a game this fast after MGSV. It must be at least a year and a half or two years away.

 

[kurahador]

This is what, a 2018/19 game or something? I can't imagine they're far along in dev without an engine at any rate.

Assuming they are working on the arts and game concepts, I think 2018 is when we'll see some sort of game play with 2020 being the release date.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

This is what, a 2018/19 game or something? I can't imagine they're far along in dev without an engine at any rate.

They're actually still hiring devs I think. So while work has already started in some capacity, still far from ready.

 

[Trike]

This is what, a 2018/19 game or something? I can't imagine they're far along in dev without an engine at any rate.

You know this is probably gonna be an unpopular guess, but I'm gonna go ahead and say that I'm 100% positive it will launch late summer 2016.

 

[Get_craycray]

Do we know if it's a PS4 exclusive? It seems like it is but there's no mention anywhere.

 

[duckroll]

PS4 and PC. Console exclusive to Sony since they're producing it. They talked about this much earlier when Kojima Productions announced their partnership with Sony.

Then they only have a couple more months. They better get cracking.

Kojima made an avante garde music video. itsfuckingnothing.jpeg

You're missing an 'e'.

All right, thank you.

 

[Yabberwocky]

Reedus has had some fairly, ah, 'unique' stuff on his Twitter and Instagram over the years, I imagine he was probably quite up for it!

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Published by Sony.

 

[Wollan]

Kojima trailers have provided my Spotify playlist with some of the best songs for the last few years. 'I'll Keep Coming' by Low Roar is good stuff.

 

[Zaptruder]

That trailer... intriguing stuff.

Feels a bit like post End of Evangelion and Kingdom Death combined.

i.e. man wakes up in mysterious empty land with hostile monsters on the bottom of the food chain.

ive been listening to that album now its tight.

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

What was the song playing on Hideos introduction was it Two Steps From Hell?

I'm nnnnuuuucccllleeeeaaarrrrrrrr.

Spoiler

I liked nuclear, this song is good too.

The trailers usually do it for me but after MGSV I can't help but be a little sceptical of how the project will turn out.

 

[valkyre]

As always, Kojima knows how to make exciting trailers and really make you wonder.

Though I just have to ask...

What was the point of Kojima mentioning this was running in real time, when he has not yet decided what game engine he is going to use??!?!

 

[The Driver]

This is so weird but also so fucking cool, honestly the only thing as a Xbox owner that bums me out. I ain't even a Reedus fan either.

 

[Kaze2212]

Pretty sure they have decided on an engine and he just decieved people in the interview to not give away that he actually has something to show.

 

[dude]

Yeah, I found that pretty fucking stupid. Some of the imagery was cool, but it was 100% meaningless.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I thought he settled on ue4?

 

[DeathPeak]

Norman's Rearendus.

Stoked for this!

 

[Zakard]

Yep, that was Kojima af.
Intriguing and amazing.

What engine are they using?

In an interview with Geoff Keighley he said they are still looking.

 

[FantasticMrSnake]

I'm pretty sure he wanted to call it death standing, but he is Japanese..

Spoiler

did you rike it!? /j

They left Del Toro out! D: D: what a shame..

I'm in, but I have no idea what this is about.

 

[ZombAid82]

I admit, that looks interesting, lets see how it works out...

 

[disappeared]

Calling it now: that whole scene is in Reedus' head and he wakes up naked outside an Olive Garden after three tabs of acid

 

[Jashobeam]

this game is going to be amazing no doubt, sucks we won't get to play it for another 2 years...
