Kojima is taking the theme and making it entertaining. That's what is happening. If this game wasn't weird as hell, I would care less.
This is perfect. The game, the cast, the metareferences...everything.
That final monologue. That's the whole concept in a nutshell.

Well Kojima and his team ultra modified Decima to make it look even better than Frostbite.
I can't imagine this engine with ray-tracing on PS5.
Agreed. I actually felt like with this trailer, the game will be a lot more straightforward than it seemed before. it will just have a lot of this fantastical stuff in it, but the main themes and storyline seem pretty straightforward, at least from the trailer. Of course, there is and will be crazy shit there.
So you telling me new MS studio setup in Santa Monica is not brand new studio because it has 100% support from MS?
If being lent an engine saves dev time by that much, Sony should do it more often.
"But where's the gameplay???"
People really hate Kojima or are trolling at this point.
Hell yeah I'm pretty excited. That looked all the right kinds of crazy. Initially from all the horror teasers I was afraid it would be a long form of the worst parts of MGSV, namely the Skulls fights, and there still seems to be some of that, but even if it turns out crap, I'm still super in for Mads Mikkelsen and Lea Seydoux if nothing else.

Based on how bad the trailer is and how most people I have seen liked it mixed with the cult following and reverence Kojima has, it's not exactly uncommon for people already on the "hype train" to overlook flaws. People have been massively hyping this up since it's first (brilliant) trailer largely because of Kojima. Of course this is only my opinion and I have no way proving it if that's what you're asking.
Things don't have to be narrative straight forward but that doesn't mean this mess of a trailer was any good just because it wasn't. If you find my opinion on the trailer insulting I really don't know what to say, I'm not trying to stop you from enjoying it, enjoy it to your hearts content. Just posting my own musings on it.
Holy, i was midly following death stranding till niw but that trailer made me curious. AAA quality. Kojima shenanigans are always good for entertainment even when you understand only half of it without reading some wiki.
People already heated here, review thread is going to be some wild ride, no matter the scores.

True, doesn't change the fact he does not take eons to release a game.
MGSV was an outlier because
1 - They had to create an all new engine
2 - They had zero experience with open world
In every other case Kojima makes games at a fairly decent pace.
When it's a known IP, with an established studio, yes, usually.
But given Kojima's circumstances and the fact many AAA games take much longer to make than 3 years (God of War/Spider-Man took 4 years for example) I'd say he and his team have done incredibly well.
If you got "walking sim" vibes after watching that trailer, I'm not sure we watched the same thing
I think this trailer credits him with "appearance" (visual appearance?) or something so I think that might still be the case
lol "inexcusable"
You can always... you know, wait until later? Not to mention there was plenty of gameplay here.
It's Guerrilla Games engine but yeah the output from the Kojima team is super impressive. I do hope they're not under some of the same sort of crunch we've been seeing across the industry recently.
I think the game looks great but honestly the facial acting and capture aren't particularly incredible.
This isn't better than GoW, UC4,or Detroit.But then again this game was made in record time(lets hope it wasn't rushed)
I like how the split front wheel can transform into one.
btw. that bike is definitly inspired by the Yamaha Niken
so did someone say, "Homodemons" or something in that trailer?
4chan is going to have a god damn field day with that...
whoa yikes what Lol?

It seems you have literally no idea what "walking sim" refers to
It looks okay I guess, wish they shown this stuff last E3 instead of Norman Reedus walking through a field. I'll definitely check it down the line since this is the future of KojiPro.
Anyone notice how the plants are growing as he's walking?
Also gotta give a shoutout to GG and the Decima engine. When Kojima revealed this game he didn't even have an engine for it. Now it's about to be released in 6 months. 3-4 years to create a game with a new studio, new engine. It's clear Kojima had the ideo for the game done before he started using the engine and it was about just creating everything else.
Still it shows that Decima is very easy to work with and no doubt improved on. Horizon is going to look fantastic next gen.

It's time to put our money where our mouth is. Here's the big budget, new and original IP triple A game with innovative ideas we've been looking for. Oh and it's single player story driven game, no service-y crap.
I'm so down on this game I'm in the basement!

Congratulations. You have no fucking idea what you're talking about.
