It's an open world stealth game with invisible enemies. Also probably some light shades of shoot-bang.
So the woman in the trailer is a Delivery person as well from another reality. Her jacket read "FRAGILE EXPRESS" being held up by two skeletal hands with the subtitle "handled with love"
I like how they were comparing notes of their worlds at the start. "I've got the extinction factor but I think you have me beat"
Also the woman at the end is the woman next to Sam in the photograph, and the photograph itself looks like it might be getting warped as things get erased a la back to the future.
In re-watching the trailer I've come to appreciate it a lot more, not that it's the best DS trailer we've gotten, but there is a lot of information here hidden in the cracks.

People don't realize that some game elements were definitely shown this time around.
You deliver (crates? Babies?)
You die and come back, but the place in which you died becomes a crater
You have to balance yourself while walking
You can climb everything!
There are guns!
There is stealth gameplay!
The game will deal with TIME SHIFT, mainly fast forward.
The thing is, Kojima's message is not ever given openly. You have to read the trailers, interpret them. You have to pay attention!
I love it!

The scale of this game looks insane. Way bigger than I anticipated. Figured the world/ objective little more narrow.
Also this game seems to be a stealth horror game now. Shooting doesn't seem to be an option (or a good one at least).
Kojimas music game is ace for picking out completely tracks

I am wondering if these shadow-doted black ghosts he tried to avoid could represents other players. We know the game has a strong multi-pve component no ? So a Soul-istic mmo-fied thing maybe : one world, xx instances in it and shared events between linked to player's activities.
what stealth? he just walks right past the ghosts, there's nothing in the environment to even hide behind
Looked to me like the time rain had hit the photo, causing it to age
This honestly sounds pretty fascinating and a big departure from MGS. It seems his sensibility may have been stifled by decades of building on a formula he conceived in his twenties.
I wonder how they are (apparently) managing multiple realities and time skips turning things into craters, a lot of procedural stuff one would think? If Sam and the other express person are from different worlds, how are they crossing through/over between worlds, and what/why are they transporting things from one world to the next?
Are there very small pockets of humans basically surviving in isolation throughout realities? It would make sense if being 'caught' created a timeskip that generated the equivalent of a nuclear bomb.
Also interesting that we see 'two sams' in the trailer, or at least Sam from two separate points in his life. One clean cut like in the photograph and one rugged.
To be fair, there was a gun in the trailer. Sam unloaded a Sniper Rifle near the end of the first segment, and he was overlooking what looked like a settlement.

Well he got caught at the end resulting in a death sequence so there must be a stealth condition.
yeah i know there's supposed to be stealth but what they've shown so far is....not good
I couldn't have said it better. Exploring the wilderness looks already exciting to me.
The gameplay part for holding breath and not talking in that section is needing the microphone or the PS Camera to catch your voice and any possible voice can trigger those figures whoch will detect you something simialr to Alien Isolation voice detection.
Kojima loves doing such behidn 4th wall interactions.
Game still has me hyped and intrigued, look forward to seeing what Hideo does in this open anything he wants project.
And it's been a few months shy of three years total since MGSV hit, not that long. Especially since he set up a new studio.

It looks like they can hear you? So maybe depending on how much youre carrying, you may need to keep your balance while trying to get away from them. Its only one aspect of gameplay but it could be intense to play if done right.
I'm up on the trailer and the only thing I find insufferable are people declaring something insufferable because not everyone conforms to their opinion.
Exactly!
In the trailer we saw:
- Walking lol
- Sam carrying various amounts of items and using tools to help him
- The items affecting weight distribution
- Climbing steep mountains, scaling cliffs, crossing crevaces, fording rivers
- All the above suggests that choosing your path wisely will be super important, as we can see him losing items when trying to ford a river that's too deep. The amount of items you're carrying will most likely affect the paths you can or can't take.
- Drinking from a canteen (Stamina? Hydration?)
- The extra boots he's carrying + several shots of his fucked up feet suggests that gear, or at least boots, degrade over time.
- Several different outfits.
I'm in this boat as well, while it might not have made for the best trailer at a press conference (I think that more so has to do with the botched format of the conference itself). Negative space is important, and once of the reasons why Mass Effect 1 worked as well as it did, warts and all. There will no doubt be a LOT to this game, but this aspect of isolation is clearly important.
There seems to be some kind of stealth-based gameplay, and it might be an open world, but that this is all we can say at this point, despite being two years out, hardly shows how the game has been laid out in a straightforward manner.
Man, I wish there were subtitles on the video. Most of the speech lines are barely recognizable for me. I can't catch what the hell they are talking about.
One of the most intriguing things I saw in the video, it's that the normal flowing of time is completely broken it seems. If it's not a part of the gameplay mechanics, I'm very curious to see how this part is involved in the narrative. These people making the game are wild.
If this is some kind of exploration game, I'm all for it. But I think there's much more beyond this.

Loved it, and love de divisiveness surrounding this showing. So many little details to unpack and puzzle in with the other trailers!
Kojima threw you all for a loop, and it's funny to see how people with little imagination are running into walls here. This game obviously isn't for everybody, so don't feel bad if you dont like it!

Nah. It's just really annoying seeing so much negativity on everything.
Well, that is mostly because how people articulate that. If you read things like "shit, trash, dogshit" and so on this doesn't even qualify as criticism. Of course there are people that express their feelings like normal humans but there is a good amount of pure hate here.
Loved the stealth bit, but going through bare environments like they demonstrated doesn't look all that enticing on its own. I know there will be more systems attached and it's certainly beautiful, but it felt more like an engine demonstration reel than a first peek at gameplay.
I'm really interested to know what sort of packages Sam is delivering (saw boots, a wrapped body, crates on back and on hover trolleys), and what the consequences are in the instances where you don't successfully deliver them.
Once those systems tying everything together are revealed, it will probably change the tune.

There's definitely some truth to this.
Although I don't know if the Yakuza are actually involved. :P
Um, Fukushima wrote Acid and Ghost Babel without Kojima and they were hot garbage. So...
Also yikes @ some of the reactions in this thread. Era is truly hot take central.
lol, "You just need to use your imagination!!" Now I'm having flashbacks to that epic Sea of Thieves thread.
Don' check 4chan anymore then so you won't get fooled by fools.
Intrigued and confused at the same time. It has a sci-fi/horror/thriller/dystopian vibes going. I like what I am seeing but the lack of details is annoying.
those sites being 100x worse doesn't make the ignorance and toxicity here any more palatable
It looks to be a very gross game, other than that I am a bit intrigued, I like more "silent" games with less action, as everyone is trying to pack in as much explosions and violence as possible nowadays. lol @ Having a newborn around your chest for protection. -Also did she swallow an Embryo at the end? lol.
