Hate to be the guy that goes "I'm not sure I really get what's going on here" but I'm sure I'm not the only one. Either way, Kojima's gameplay is almost always next level so I'm pumped. Also, Troy Baker re-confirming why he's one of my favorite VO artists, dude sounds great as does everyone else.
This gave a lot of its story structure away but nothing about why it's so "groundbreaking". Am I missing something?
Or is that why Mads says "You'll know everything soon." at the end of the trailer

It's not even difficult to understand... they explain the concept in the fucking trailer
The themes are being presented clear as day

Kojima said on 3chan the game is mainly inspired by Yoshi's Island and that one part from Majora's Mask, which he specified is "the best Zelda".
Yes that was refreshing, especially for those who are only used to them playing Metallica.
There was a real sense of exploration in that trailer, that ladder is going to become a staple in future open-world games where the main character doesn't have climbing ability.
Not convinced on the stealth/hide in the bushes/third person shooting aspect (as it's become really too common these days), but it looks like the world, the characters and everything in between will more than make up for it.
There's nothing quite like a Kojima trailer, nothing quite like a Kojima game, and I think that's something to appreciate. Really looking forward to it.

40 pages of extreme hype, and some:
"i don't get it"
"why are people hyped about this?"
"Walking simulator"
I'm not sure why you're so hellbent on using this logic. First of all. There is no "deal' The game is a property, trademark, and copyright of Sony Interactive Entertainment. It is a Sony game, funded and published by them through and through. They decide whatever happens with it because they own Death Stranding, not Kojima.
Using the label aspect to determine things is foolish as they've never been consistent with them. They even listed UC4 as console exclusive at one time, so you're the one assuming here while everyone else is using facts. Also: This year they've stopped using the labels for trailers\posts or anything online related, which is something I noticed after seeing this. Go look up similar WWS games including Days Gone, Medievil, Predator, Blood & Truth, etc.. None of them say Only on PlayStation anywhere. So your statement is equally confusing and doesn't make sense.
Only the final boxes still say such a thing and only the final box art. All the retail boxes for DS say Only on PlayStation, and if they don't, that's because it's not the final artwork.., as it states very blatantly on the box. They will say it when the final boxart is revealed.
It's a PS4 exclusive that's coming out in November. Let's move on because it's just derailing discussing the game.

Yup, PS5 will have backwards compatibility with PS4. There will probably be remasters for many of the best games too.
Oh believe me, I think BOTW and Odyssey doesn't not deserve the praise they got too. Especially BOTW.
I think I understand what Kojima is trying to do but after his last couple of game, I'm kind of beginning to believe he's simply not really good at writing.
Maybe it's too much animu for me, also.
The most interesting aspect I'm finding about the story is that we have to "reunify America." Like, is Kojima about to go full commentary on current political hellhole that is America?
The ad that changed Kojima's life forever. It was a catalyst that started the creation of Death Stranding in Kojima's mind
It's extremely sad. People rather continue there false narratives then admit they were dead wrong about the game.
What a dickbag.Ironically the people who insist on calling things pretentious are the most pretentious of all.
There's very little in this trailer that's actually surreal. It's actually quite a straightforward look at what we'll be doing in the gameplay loop, who we'll be facing off against, who the main characters are, what the objective of the main protagonist is, etc.
Remember how bloodborne turned out to be way more than just a werewolf hunting simulator?
Attempts to stunt on people for being stupid.
Mixes up to & too in attempted stunt.
This is so cool. I thought this was our detective mode at first, but this is great.If you get caught in an enemy scan, they scan your package. And it works as a last known position mechanic similar to the ghost mechanic in Splinter Cell.
We basically play as one of the regular enemies in most stealth-action games. A bit more resourceful, though.
"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."
That trailer did nothing for me. The games color scheme feels to bleak, fits the narrative though of course. Still hard to understand what the game and it's gameplay will be. How big part will the climbing be? Are we going to get to play all 3 characters? Need more details than a confusing trailer a'la Kojima.
To be fair, still being curious from a gameplay standpoint doesn't diminish my interest one bit. I know it'll control well and the story will be bonkers (hopefully..). I'm just honestly confused what makes it a new "genre" as it's been hinted at in the past.
Death Stranding |OT| SUPER Pretentious Chutes and Ladders
Death Stranding |OT| I simulated walking for this and all I got was this stupid baby.
Right ? Norman Reedus, Madds Mikkelsen, both are selling this game it's some kind of messiah and I just don't see it.
It's frustrating, really. I would love to be hyped for this but.. I don't get it.
Please don't take what I said as being a Kojima naysayer. I have an official Kojima Store "BRIDGES" sticker on my laptop lol
It'll be great if it's something that happens systemically as the player is exploring.
it's just an old tweet of kojima
the contrast with how serious his work is and how acclamed he is was funny to me
He's still being very pretentious, which is way worse.
These posters are amazing. Well, the first one mostly.Holy fuck!
Add these to the main OP maybe?
