Spot on. This game fascinates me because it's an AAA game where combat seemingly plays a smaller role. I have a lot of faith in Kojima because he's shown a wealth of creativity in gameplay systems in the past.
Thanks. That's very kind of you to say.
But i still think this one by Ghos is the GOAT. Death Stranding |OT| 👍🌈🔥🐟🐋🐬☔🤣
I would not be so sure at least pertaining to the use of gold beyond being symbolic. You can see gold and time coming together here:
As for protection against time fall, I think anything goes as long as you not getting no droplets are coming into contact with the skin.
Your health and ammo being linked would be very interestingOh wow, great find.
That explains the "burning" in the third trailer when a BT steps on Sam's blood trail

Dude those are hands
Gold is a great conduit, and these golden crystals looking like hands, and some pieces floating around it, perhaps its conducting the other side somehowI would not be so sure at least pertaining to the use of gold beyond being symbolic. You can see gold and time coming together here:

Yep. Takes the phrase, spilling blood. To whole different meaning.
It also promotes a non-killing playstyle that Kojima wants us to take in the game.
Yeah. I noticed that last night when i was watching the trailer. Tis interesting.
She has gold wrapped around her wrist.
Bruh... oh shi!
Yea, I have been thinking about this as well. Looks like it is a worse conductor of electricity than Silver and on par with Copper and as previously mentioned by Alienous is a highly corrosion resistant.
While I do not know whether that is blood, conclusively, it is surely be drawn from storage and not directly from Sam.

Last pic is actually Gulf War/Iraq circa early 2000's.
But I think my theory about DC being ground zero and Arlington Cemetery being the source of all the dead/processed soldiers in Hades is becoming more and more likely

I think having to do some kind of blood transfusion machine at Bridges HQ to craft your blood-infused bullets against BTs could be intriguing/eerie. The blood has to come from somewhere
Got a post that goes deeper in that theory?Found this on reddit

I would say that we pretty much know how the actual gameplay is but a clear mission walkthrough would be cool at some point.
Storywise for now, it seems to me that the gold comes into play in combination with the Homo Demons. Cliff doesn't have any golden things but the magnetic field goes nuts as his compass indicates. The same goes for Fragiles ferrofluid jacket when the BTs occurred in Sam's cave.
The actual death stranding is still a very big mystery. It seems to be some kind of portal to the Hades. That black goo could also be the metaphorical lake Styx connecting both worlds.
However, I like the Idea that the stranding could be associated with Aliens and that their life form is based on the opposite chirality causing the allergies.

This has been my theory since the second trailer was released, but
It's the logistics of it all. DC being the epicenter of the first "void out" as represented in Bridge's insignia, Hades being filled with multiple eras of US soldiers equipment and weaponry and so forth
Arlington is one of the only places where you have such a large number of dead soldiers and the only place where you have them from every single era of US warfare dating back to the Civil War.
The scenes they are showing are not answering questions for me about gameplay mechanics, story, exploration. I am finding myself trying to make sense of each scene! It's like the 3rd trailer and I am still don't know what the heck is going on!
Troy Baker summoned the goo dog in his reveal trailer from a gold mask and in that one trailer where that giant thing shows up the body with the gold pattern on its face ,similar to that dog in fact ,had the gold on its face dissolve into the air if I'm remember correctly
I have MGS3,MGS4 platinums and you have to beat the game without a single kill,so yes,I bet you will can do the the same in DS.I have MGSV platinum too,but I don't remember,I think you can have kills out of missions,but to have all missions ranked S you have to beat them without a kill,even the boss fights like MGS3/4,so all the last 3 games you can beat without a kill.
Edit:Even the bosses and on rails sections can be made without kills.
I don't agree about encouraging kills on the first playthrough,I remember clearly as water in the first minutes of MGS3 Big Boss looking a hive in a tree, encouraging the non-lethal approach,if I am not wrong you always start with a handgun and tranquilizing darts.

As for Baker's character, I thought he was interesting in the EGS trailer but in the new trailer he's pretty underwhelming. I hope we don't see the face beneath the mask that often

Any speculation on what the black goop is? It looks very much like crude oil.
Technically, crude oil or Petroleum makes perfect sense. It is the product bequeathed by death of all living organisms under immense heat and pressure and time. Even its larger namesake, Fossil Fuel, denotes death.
I think it is blood bullets, as in that they are manufactured with blood in them. Setting aside physics related issues, within the HUD itself, the volume of the liquid is separately marked from the number of bullets within the magazine versus total capacity of said mag.

Didn't say, but it will fit into the cutscenes in a major way so it's going to be partly story based at least.
That's a very good theory. Makes sense.
And if I'm not mistaken someone identified a ruined building as been from Washington on an old trailer.
The voice over in their scene says 'even they know better than to mess with BTs'. Homo Demens are the 'nothings off limits' guys, who have been shown to mess with BTs in 2 other trailers.
Not sure if the yellow guys are bandits or just a different settlement, in this case it looks like Sam is running off with one of their cases on his back, which they're scanning for. (Are we the bandits?)
That's not really encouraging a non-lethal approach and instead giving the player insight into alternative ways to approach an encounter. The game isn't trying to beat you on the head about not killing people. That didn't start happening until Peace Walker and MGSV.
For example, You're not going to be using your Tranq pistol during the final bike chase on a first playthrough. The game gives you max ammo for all of your weapons and overwhelms you with a huge number of enemies. The game nudges you to use stuff like the RPG and LMG.
Kojima has always used real time cutscenes in his games. I never expected him to stop now.

No, the bandits rely on stealing stuff from others to survive. Reminds of Mad Max game crossed with the tv show, Into the Badlands.
Both I would assume. I know that the rain can be dynamic (ergo, the weather system therefore must follow).
Would you guys classify this game as "post-apocalyptic" in the same vein as say the Last of Us. I'm debating this in my head, there still seems to be a functioning organization/government with Bridges UCA but I don't know if that matters to the criteria
Heh, I hadn't even though of that. I thought it was just cheap looking bonuses, but if gold is actually some sort of repellent or something in this world, then they may be more useful.
Definitely fits the definition, at the least insofar as US of A is concerned. However, it is a broad genre and is enmeshed with science fiction here. In a way it is in the same vein as Horizon Zero Dawn. The differences come in the form of player character being empowered (Aloy) compared to survivalist (Sam).
