Stars Norman Reedus. It's basically a video announcing the title of the game - there's nothing much yet. No gameplay yet.

God, Witcher 3's soundtrack is such fucking generic dime a dozen folktale celtic bullshit or whatever.
to be fair, i actually do like some of the ambiance tracks when i'm walking through the valley...just not on horseback because roach is ass.

also, falco, script planning like that is what goes down for a full script. what you're thinking of is storyboarding, which is not writing up a script for a teaser, but each physical shot with professional storyboard artists. kojima or whoever has an idea, he writes it up, and they all work to make sure each shot falls in line with what the director wants. so unless hitori is a storyboard artist, i don't know what we're going on about here tbh.

...also, i'm calling it now, death streaking will probably have a better soundtrack than witcher 3 too.

I know it sounds weird but I was really referring to a script written only for the trailer. A story called "death stranding" that starts and ends in 2 minutes like a spot about environmental disaster. Like If this has nothing to do with the final product, except for the theme of "connection". Since I see Death Stranding as a stand alone experiment to fire up the conference, I think this is just a message full of references about Kojima's "bond" with Konami and his leaving, not a hint to the real story of the project incoming.

No, I'm not against the title "death stranding" because I want to believe Silent Hill5 :ermm:

It's not even always that significant. You know the teaser for Cyberpunk 2077, the only thing apart from concept art stills that we've seen on the game? Wasn't done by CDPR, it was outsourced and the studio that did it took on board what CDPR wanted but did the rest all by themselves, and that is all that we've seen (in terms of imagery) on the game since, so everything that may come to mind when people try and localise and define in their heads what it may look like could mean literally nothing in the end as it may be completely different.

If Kojima is sticking to the same MO, 99% of everything he says will be a lie, the trailers will give us the ending (if it hasn't already), and the gameplay will be awesome.

Also, I suggest everyone check out the new mgsf theme. It's fantastic.

CIA is many things; a has been meme master, a baneposter who ran it to the ground so bad to where it stopped being funny, a complete and utter podcast tsundere but I will NOT allow you to call him a shitty Gary Stu who killed a 7 part book series. That's just mean and unfair.

Sorry if I sound angry but this was too much, even with the strike in mind.

The baby is the only weapon he needs.

Did I read wrong somewhere or is that teaser supposed to represent life and death at the same time or what?

That bar isn't really high man. After seeing the trailer, I really wish Kojima would reveal his entire musical playlist.

Is it too early to start up a Death Stranding joke thread?


Also, how likely do you all think it'll be for Norman Reedus to do naked cartwheels in Death Stranding?

One suggestion here:
To all guyswho used to love and stilllove MGS Forums, i'm suggesting to startthe devellopment of a forums called:
deathstranding.com, i'm pretty sure that it will be a great game because Kojima is a very talented producer, and since it's a game made by him, that means it's a game for us, 'us' his fans and customers...the lovers of MGS will be the lovers of Death Stranding...so the thing is i'm suggesting to Mka e a new site for it and forums, and wait till it will be released and we will have fans all over the world looking orward to it..

Heavily-Armed Trooper
The beginning of the trailer gives me hope that Kojima will at least somewhat return to the cinematic style of MGSV....the one-shot cutscenes. IMO, that was one of the best things about the game's presentation, as the one-shots allow you to immerse yourself in to the moment.

Kojima said the "theme" about this game is connection and death will take on a new meaning. The video starts off with Norman being connected to the baby, crying at what appears his/her death...then all of the sudden the baby and the chord vanish, ridding the character of the "connection." If you look in to the ocean, it seems as though all the animals died but still "connected." I could see Kojima saying that "death" in this game meaning losing all connection with what you love, but this somehow makes the character "alive" in the sense of he's truly aware of his surroundings now, not being blinded by connection. Or vice versa, being alive means being connected to something, while death means you've lost all connection.

Everything about this trailer has a sci-fi feel to it, so it looks like Kojima is about to make a game with an already pre-established history and lore. It looks like Earth, but it looks like humans and animals are going through some form of suffering, maybe even slavery. At the end of the trailer, you see five figures hovering in the sky, looking as though they're looking down on Norman and the land, giving the feel that they're in charge and the enemy. It appears Norman is looking at them and the scenery in disgust. Kojima also said something has been "stranded." In another thread, someone pointed out that one of the dog tags on Norman have symbols of a black hole. What I take from all of this......a black hole opened up near earth, placing a different and more advanced civilization on our planet. They took over everything, the resources, land, and even way of life. I could see the main character going against this civilization, and possibly the armor in the KojiPro logo has something to do with it. It's interesting because all of this sounds like a big metaphor for Konami, and knowing Kojima and how much he loves himself, I could definitely see this game being a metaphor for him.

The entire atmosphere screams we're in dark times and trying to survive. I could already see gameplay elements of Uncharted, having to make your way around difficult and interesting terrain (due to the catastrophic events) and encountering enemies on the way. Kojima doesn't want to make a horror game, but I can see the mysterious vibe of the game bringing a sense of terror and urgency in the gameplay....not knowing what you're about to encounter. However, the focus of this game could be more exploration & action, with the terror parts just being an extra element.

Also, the oil hand prints caught my attention. At first it looked like oil was dripping....but as I looked at it, it almost looks as though something invisible is walking always.....could it be an alternate reality going on? Is that the death thing Kojima meant? At first I thought it could've been the baby but those prints look a bit too big. One actually appears beside him while he's crawling towards the baby. So it's definitely something else.
