Interesting detail: Not all shots are featuring Sam!
There seems to be at least one other character traversing the landscape, as seen in this shot. His hair and face look quite different. Also, he seems to work for BRIDGES, as seen in the second shot.
Also, It seems that different porters wear different outfits. Maybe to signify the load they're carrying? The person carrying the corpse has a distinctly different outfit, but also works for BRIDGES. Maybe another character?
Here's Sam's character BTW, again with a distinctly different outfit that says PORTER. I guess it could mean that his class is unique to these other individuals, or maybe he works for himself, and his company is simply called Porter....
It's still Sam, he just has his hair up in a ponytail.
In dark blue is says EXPRESS under Fragile, on her jacket. She's another delivery person (and more) since she asks him to come work for her and he says he only does deliveries. They're clearly from different realities, based on their conversation at the start.
So you have dooms too, how bad is yours?
I've got the extinction factor, but I bet you have me beat.
Right, that's how he looks in the photograph as well. The woman at the end (that he doesn't remember) is beside him, and the younger woman with her face smudged our could be his realities version of the Fragile express girl.
it has some kind of "entheogenic" vibe going on...i have a feeling this game will push peoples minds to subjects they never even thought of, like some psychedelic substance. It´s some sort of digital trip lol
I didn't get this from it at all. Seems to me Sam is a courier and the packages are all individual jobs. The woman is possibly employed exclusively to transport fragile goods.
The second trailer showed some aspects of this. Norman and his fetus tries to go to a dead person in a bag but before he reaches it the ghosts seems to take over it. It seems that doing something with the bodies of humans is an important mechanic somehow.This game is going to be very weird... And I am excited.
Why is nobody talking about Norman carrying the corpse!?
I don't think it's hair customization options, but it's just how much exposure did you have to Timefall, it gets more white as you get older ?
Agreed.
But it does look incredible and the theme seems to be nuts so why not.
Yeah Kojima tweeted out that he made a conscious effort to do a trailer without a gunfight. Considering the MGS series and it's relationship with guns, I wouldn't be surprised if this took one step further and made them almost an afterthought. And I like that a lot.
but craters caused by being consumed by those big fuckers does affect it quite drasticly, I can even imagine this was all populated earth and the craters due to rapture scaping of the earth trough timefall caused it to cover with plant life etc. the only reason the earth doesn't seem affected is that ground takes way longer to change. it might be equally affected. Thats why most is made of plastic and metals that degrades slowly
We have no idea. But yes it will be playable offline probably.
This is a fucked up post, and it's a personal attack on the work quality of one our verified members. This is the kind of behavior that would draw developers away from this community, and frankly it's immature and cruel to attack other members for their professional work. He just has a different opinion than you, there was no need for your asinine snark. I think the game looks amazing too, he doesn't, and I don't really care, it doesn't make his work of lesser significance. Grow up/get some class.
But it's kool to dis kojima as pretentious because of a verification ,... hmmmm
Holy shit, what did I just watch? That looked pretty amazing, though I'll remain a bit sceptical after my dissapointment with MGSV
I can feel this game still has a long way to go. But take your time Kojima... take your time! ;__;
I remember reading a interview where kojima stated it can be played without a online component, I sure hope that sticks
It's not like that generic mobile shovelware dev has any class calling another dev's work pretentious.
Fucking wow, my stream was horrible but that is some amazing visuals.
The game gives me the same feel as Interstellar when they visited planets and things started to get terrifying, can't wait.
So if you take all the letters that have streaks coming off of them and put it all together, you get EAT STING.
:thinking:
:thinking:
I love Kojima, even when he's being pedantic but even my patience has it's limits. I needed something more from this, instead we got more questions.
I don't want everything laid out in front of me, I don't care if it's a lie like MGS2 pre-launch was. Just give us something about the world, or the characters.
We didn't even get an idea of a date, a year even. I'm done being hype for this until it's dated I think.

So, why Lindsey Wagner? I'm old enough to remember the Bionic Woman on TV. Is it some wish that Kojima had to work with her? A fan of the show? It's actually created a weird connection for me and my childhood. Confusing as hell but that's a good thing. But the last thing I want is to look at something and go "Yep, I know all that".
There's a theory that the characters in the game are the actual actors themselves. Kojima even mentioned in the interview with Geoff that noone could play Linsays' character except her and he said the same for Lea Seydoyx. Also Norman Reedus had mentioned in the past I think that the players are literally controlling him.
I don't know what is the importance of the actors being themselves in the context of the game,but it seems like this is the case
PS: Personal speculation that they might play with the Timefall thing and use both Lindsays current version and her younger self

So did every single person yelling "WALKING SIMULATOR!!!" after this beautiful trailer. This game will have it all but the gameplay mechanics are going to be quite special.
I wonder what a role body contact plays in this game; Sam has handprints all over his body and the antagonists leave handprints as well. Do you gain a handprint on your body each time you get touched and die? Also, Lea Seydoux' character has a suit that has spikes on the shoulders and I wonder if that is some form of defense mechanism. We also learn that Sam's full name is Sam Porter Bridges - Wikipedia says the following about Porter: "The name originates as an Old French occupational name, portier (gatekeeper; doorkeeper), or porteour ("to carry")."
Lea Seydoux mentions that the rain - timefall - pushes everything fast-forward, which we can confirm considering in a previous trailer a guy aged incredibly fast when he got exposed to the timefall.
Then there is the dialogue between Sam and this unknown person over radio:
"If one of these things eat you, it will trigger a voidout. You'll come back, sure, but the surrounding area will still be a crater"
So does that imply that the baby you are carrying around is.. a clone of yourself? One that when exposed to the timefall becomes an adult version of yourself? Does that mean that the guy who handed Sam a baby before floating up gave him a copy of himself because he knew he might come back with the help of Sam? And this also means that using the baby for your light-detector-thingy is not the intended primary function of those babys. Plus this also explains why there was a giant crater at the end of the last trailer - a voidout happened and Sam came back, yet the surrounding area became a crater.
This is just me speculating of course, but yeah: this game might look weird, and bizarre right next to other AAA games, but a lot of it is also very intriguing and makes me think a lot more than let's say Tsushima does

I suspect those scandinavian highlands is not limited to scandinavian. its just those are the locations on earth that look most like primordial earth with no influence of plant/human life. I suspect most life has been wiped out due to timefall. timefall affects everything, including ground, buildings, but since the lifespan of a building is way longer than for example a tree it ages and "dies" slower than for example plants or humans. I think what we see is the earth affected by timefall. barely anything survives after timefall and the craters from being eaten by those huge things. plants grow and die instantly
what I mean is, even tho kojima captured that look doesnt mean it takes place there, its just the place that would resemble earth most after timefall
I see.
Also, I don't understand why their suits have hoodies and not helmets like hazmat suits. It exposes their face to the rain easily.
I don't think it's the plot that most people are mad about, that's fine actually. What most are upset and confused about is the gameplay loop.. like what's the catch? Why is this game fun? Not the story. People accept any batshit insane story from Kojima as long as it's fun to play, but we don't know the loop that's the vague part.
this is 100% not him though (no beard, no stubble, different face) - but whomever it is they never show his face clearly.
edit: im wrong im wrong. nm!

Doesn't it sound like him when he's practically crawling up the mountain though? If you look closely during the toenail removal scene you can see that this is Sam with his hair pulled back and no beard. So either a different Sam or him from a different point.
This is also the am that takes out the gun from one of the containers.
PT: Are you sure the only you is you
:P
Not sure if this has been posted yet, but if it hasn't, it's a good watch for those who need to know more. I'm sold, so I didn't even need it, but here you are.

haah. im unsure of everything right now. but yeah i agree it's him.
So, I was watching the trailer again and the scene where Sam is walking in the water and then falls made me wonder. What if there is some kind of exhaustion level in the game that needs to be managed in order to avoid collapsing? A system like that would probably make the encounters with those ghosts pretty thrilling and would add a lot of strategy to the exploration, too
