Stars Norman Reedus. It's basically a video announcing the title of the game - there's nothing much yet. No gameplay yet.![]() Edited by Rogue Agent, Jun 14 2016, 02:16:52 PM.

The first time I saw naked Norman, he heavily reminded me of naked Raiden from MGS2. nudity, dog tags and handcuffs, his situation seems really similar to Raiden's when he was imprisoned in arsenal gear. I think he's naked for the same unknown (or nonexistent?) reason Raiden was naked in that section of MGS2, or perhaps it has something to do with him traveling through blackholes or to other dimensions, or maybe it's just a nod to the Terminator series where Arnold appeared naked when he traveled in time. |

Tbh, I think Kojima will make something like The Devision or Soul series where the focus will be not the story, but working together to beat the game. |

Souls has a metric fuck ton of story just told in a subtle discreet manner. Doubt Kojima had that in mind |

I don't know. I have a feeling he won't care about a linear story. Yeah, I know the Souls had some story. It wasn't the focus of the game. |

Looks like I was right about the whole idea about the game taking place in the future, and Norman being a prisoner. Perhaps their way of imprisoning people in the future is by tossing them into a black hole. It would make sense, if you think about it. Near a black hole, time is perceived much, much slower than what it really is. Someone in a 'black hole prison' could serve centuries of time in a few hours. That is, if the prisoner isn't torn to a string of atoms by tidal forces. The trailer is set just after he had found a way to escape, and something is telling me that the baby isn't a clone of Norman, but it is Norman himself. The scar on his stomach is from the removal of the strange cord. Edited by Kestrel, Jun 30 2016, 05:00:47 PM.

Watch out CIA , I said that in org chat once and was repeatedly told I was wrong and don't understand story Dark Souls fans will defend every aspect of those games to the death. And if you disagree it's just cause your a dirty causal!

i skipped every cutscene in all the souls games. there's no story except for what i've made of it. and dark souls 3 is the story of sn4ke and cbj waiting for maxp to get in the game, cbj falls off of cliffs, sn4ke gets bored and leaves to play with cjb, and maxp has me follow him around while he kills everything and assures me that there is a story. pretty much the greatest game story ever told. |

Text boxes. Environmental cues. Small pieces of dialogue. Much more unique than "soliduuu sunekku in 10 awar cutscene!!11" |

I just realized; a while back when Kojima revealed the whole LUDENS mascot, it was said that it was to be involved in his new project. LUDENS totally coincides with the whole futuristic space prison setting of Death Stranding. Is LUDENS a sort of 'space police' force or something? I know the Japanese like their English words in caps, but is it possible that LUDENS is, instead, an acronym? |

BROTHERS!!!!! I've been waiting for this. A new Kojima game filled with mystery for us to let our imaginations run wild. I keep telling people that the best part of Kojima games is before the release. Ideas, speculation, conflict breeding conflict, new hatred arising, the forum becoming filled with ideas, emotional outburst, arguments etc. In the end 99.99% of us will be wrong. That said: I think it's looking like you will not die permanently in this game. Death instead will be a passage to another dimension or experience. Kojima mentioned that death will be different in this game and that the difference will be a difference in stress level. If death isn't permanent then there would be no stress. The strands being the connections that you keep after death or when you are reborn. The dog tags I find particularly interesting because dog tags are used to identify you upon death. What will they mean in this case when there is the Schwarchild radius and Dirac equation written on them. Some have expressed that maybe our character has been sucked into a black hole given the Schwarchild radius reference. I like that idea. Maybe each dog tag represents an experience our character has died through only to "keep coming" back. What I also find interesting is that Reedus appears to have come back naked except for those mysterious handcuffs, the a a umbilical cord and those dog tags. I'm assuming that those three thing are the "strands" of connection he has with his previous existence. I'm wandering if death will change how we view things. The poem in the trailer was interesting too: To see the world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour Hmmm.. All a matter of how we perceive things based on space and time. Maybe related to the Dirac equation All in all very interesting stuff that makes me want to get into studying some quantum physics |

It has nothing to do with my comprehension of it or my intelligence, i simply see it as a game. So the that figures comment is silly. |

Relax Ef9 o Shea, I'm just ribbing you a bit. Do you have any thoughts about what the game will be like? |
