- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
this might play kinda stiffly, but I'm too in love with the themes and imagery to care.
Day 1.
Day 1.
Shinkawa art! That's the only thing missing from Kojima's recent games, no more Shinkawa art in cutscenes. :(
Got any more for Death Stranding?
PS5 should utilize it more heavily. Horizon 2 will look incredible.
Well, i'm Excited! Reminds me horizon zero dawn in a strange way tbh and that's definitely a good thing! Can't wait!
Oh my god. This sounds incredible.
Journey between life and death
Begin your quest to save civilisation in a broken world rife with supernatural dangers.
Face unique challenges
Arm yourself and take aim at a variety of objectives in your mission to reunite a broken nation, while balancing under the weight of your cargo as you travel. Protect your supplies from wild bandits, and stay safe from the terrifying Beached Things… or face failing those who depend on you.
Explore the world
The Decima Engine renders a hyper-realistic landscape utterly transformed by the Death Stranding. Unpassable obstacles block your path and force you to find different routes, while supernatural elements alter the physical state of your surroundings.
Death is not the end
There is no traditional 'game over' state in Death Stranding. Lose your life during combat and you'll find yourself in an upside-down realm, searching for a way back to the living. Choose your combat methods carefully, as killing your foe is almost never the solution – and every death carries a consequence.
Assist other players
Help other travellers without ever crossing paths via asynchronous online gameplay. Send supplies, share safe houses and walk in the footsteps of fellow couriers to reunite civilisation.

This has just got me more hyped. Firstly when has a Kojima trailer ever made sense? But why would you also want everything spelled out? Give me something to think about and talk about. Speculation is part of the fun leading up to big games/movies/TV shows.
Its like some people just want to be shown everything so they can get behind their keyboards and rip it to shreds and point out everything they see as being bad. Then argue with those that are excited.
Anyway, so what I gather is there are now a bunch of villages/towns/cities that are separated from each other due to these BT's? Sam works for Bridges and is tasked with building connections between the towns?
There is a terrorist run city Edgenaught(?) City that these Homo-Demons come from that don't want to be connected so go around destroying other villages and creating craters?
UCA sounds like another group trying to do something. I guess they are the guys attacking same in yellow.
Bridge Babies are used to connect to the "other side" and allow Sam to see the BT's which seems to be something the others don't have. Maybe thats why they attacked Sam so they could get his baby?
It mentions "Those bound to Hades" which must be how Mads fits in. He has made a connection to the other side and cannot break it. Must be due to teh babies since he seemed normal at the start of the trailer while conversing with/singing to the baby.
When in the WW2 style setting the enemies seem to have hit counters?
Anyway just a few things I picked up from trailer and I'm sure many have figured out the same or have their own take. I want to hear it

Is it just me or does this game look bad? I was excited but gameplay looks very clunky. IMO needs more polishing. The cut scenes look good though. I'm not getting this day one anymore.
Man, I remember before the Killzone 2 trailer dropped - how much hate Guerilla would receive around the internet, how many people saying they should get shut down for making a dud.
Now they're giving Kojima the engine to produce a game that looks like this for us? What a time.

Yeah, everything. The only people that know about the games are the devs working on it, and even then there are reports of them being surprised on how it all comes together. The claims of breaking ground could just be marketing, but we'll see in the coming months.
The online aspect doesn't sound like anything fundamentally new. In the end, what'll set it apart will come down to how the integration of its themes is handled in the final story and gameplay experience.
Unlike a handful of others.... *cough* MGSV *cough*

That's true. There's always a subset of people that seem to relish in the fact that they aren't watching or into [popular thing], but want to scream in someone's ear about how uninteresting it is when...nobody really cares.
But still, I do think there can be issues down the line when it comes to a discussion forum when people get totally drunk on hype. It leads OTs to feel really insular to any negative opinions even if at that stage everyone's opinion on the finished product is fair game, but that all breeds from the years of leadup to a thing coming out, often leading people to be predisposed to like (or dislike) a thing and just lash out at the opposite view without really discussing anything.
Atleast this thread started peeling back more interesting things from the trailer. The melee combat from that showing didn't look very good to me but seeing enemies chip away at your haul and using their own stuff as a weapon seem interesting. If nothing else MGS5 had really good mechanics, so I hope this can pull that off as well.

Still don't know what the fuck is going on but I guess that's part of its charm; will try it out!
Man, that was wild. Kojima & his team still got it after 35 years in the industry & that whole Konami exit shit show.
With just how formulaic & stale along with the bare minimum plots & characters has become in the AAA space, This shit is like a breath of fresh air. I love it.

i would not be surprised if he used some of the unused ideas for Silent hills for this
This is the sort of online multiplayer I can get into.
I like that little evasion move...the more I watch gameplay footage in general, the cooler it looks.
This post makes no sense to me. Not sure how someone who played the MGS games can come to this conclusion after seeing this trailer. At the very least, it looks to be the same as MGSV in terms of scope, which I wouldn't consider a massive game to begin with.
God damn. There is something weird and super lifelike about the skin and the eyes. DAMN. I have never been this impressed by the eyes in any game before. It feels like ... they have souls haha
Will walking sim or pretentious become the buzz word for Death Stranding threads like generic was in Days Gone ones and be used no matter what?
Unless someone has already used generic in here too. If they have that confirms it was always being used as part of a drinking game.

Oh fuck. There's no game art that hypes me more than Shinkawa's art. I really hope he releases an art book for this game too. The Art Direction is 10/10 in this trailer.
So instead of a current gen Silent Hill game we're getting this.... this whole story of Konami cancelling Silent Hills and then Kojima rises from the ashes to give us Death Stranding, it looks like this whole chain of events will go down as one of the most epic disappointments in video game history.
I need this in my life like right now. I especially love his statement about wanting to connect people. And this via a single player game.
This will be something insane and something memorable.
Kojima was way ahead of times with the story of MGS and the age of information. And I believe this could be similar.
