The world looks very reminiscent of the opening scene of Prometheus. There’s a familiarity that also feels slightly off and alien.

the game is obviously not just going to be big empty spaces as we see interior environments (although degrading bc of timefall) and lea's character talks about cities to sam. someone has to be making all of this babytek.

i just wish kojima would pick a dang tagline and stick with it because his last few attempts have been awkwaaaard the "First there was an explosion" refrain in the last trailer was clunky as hell and now we have attempt 2 with "Give me your hand in [x]" which isn't much better

Maybe these are supposed to have way more impact in Japanese or something. either way kojima likely doesnt know what hes talking about which means this will be a really cool and confusing game. I wonder if we're gonna get MGS4-length cutscenes.

I'm going to guess this game will be like Spintires but with people and five hours of cutscenes because Kojima is a hackfraud. It will start as a more or less open, terrain traversal/survival game that has you plan your own routes and equipping yourself to hopefully complete deliveries in a world that realistically simulates terrain, the psychics and degradation of gear Reedus can equip and the cargo you can choose to carry with you. As we saw you might need to bring a ladder and ropes if you want to traverse mountains, try to ford rivers along shallow or calm sections, keep your equipment reasonable so you don't weight yourself down too much and more than likely look after Reedus' health somehow. It's all going to be tied together with some roguelite elements based around losing your traversal gear if you die and in doing so getting forced to take different routes which involve different survival techniques, combat, and stealth scenarios. The stupid baby thing too is like a tool that you can use to make stealth easier and I guarantee degrades somehow, which more than likely punishes you in your next life or whatever. As the game goes along the open area stuff takes a backseat to city traversal stuff, probably combat heavier too. I eagerly await the time future archeologists unearth this post from the ruins of SA and nod sagely at ancient man's wisdom.

I hope this game isn't fun. I hope it's brutal and exhausting and depressing. I hope it's the Dark Souls of walking simulators and you have to pull off multi-button combos or you'll trip on small rocks and break your toenail.

You know what would be painful: using a hot metal wire on a toenail due to internal bleeding happening just under the nail.

The MGS3 stuff was therapeutic and chill, Hideo is a good guy. So if this hypothetical menu is chill and cool like in MGS3, I can handle that.

This is how things get out of hand. Buncha gamers discussing some game, now Norman Reedus's dong is in danger. This is how the nuke got made, and as the MGS live-action scenes tell us, nukes are bad.

I bet the blue goo creatures are somehow hives of nanite bots not just because nanites can be a joker card that can be used to explain anything, but because in some sense, nanites are a form of life and life has this demographic explosion advantage,... I think this could be a better explanation than transdimensional entities Tei fucked around with this message at 10:40 on Jun 15, 2018 |

Yo I recently read this fucken book that gave me major Death Stranding vibes: https://www.amazon.com/Gone-World-Tom-Sweterlitsch/dp/0399167501 "Shannon Moss is part of a clandestine division within the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. In western Pennsylvania, 1997, she is assigned to solve the murder of a Navy SEAL's family—and to locate his vanished teenage daughter. Though she can't share the information with conventional law enforcement, Moss discovers that the missing SEAL was an astronaut aboard the spaceship U.S.S. Libra—a ship assumed lost to the currents of Deep Time. Moss knows first-hand the mental trauma of time-travel and believes the SEAL's experience with the future has triggered this violence. Determined to find the missing girl and driven by a troubling connection from her own past, Moss travels ahead in time to explore possible versions of the future, seeking evidence to crack the present-day case. To her horror, the future reveals that it's not only the fate of a family that hinges on her work, for what she witnesses rising over time's horizon and hurtling toward the present is the Terminus: the terrifying and cataclysmic end of humanity itself." Basically, this is True Detective meets Interstellar. A time traveling apocalyptic sci-fi police procedural with a lot of dope high concepts. This book and Death Stranding seem to deal with a lot of similar concepts, including time, dimensions, the possible end of human existence, and other things. The final act of the book is just full of sci-fi high concept weirdness that I hope DS delivers on.

He set the toughness bar pretty high that day. Years later he knocked said bar off and sent it clattering across the floor when he fainted at the sight of blood from a gash on my sister's head after something fell on her in the kitchen, but I digress (she had like 7 stitches and was fine).

I pulled a my big toenail off barehanded after I accidentally knocked it 2/3rds of the way off I also close my eyes during every operating scene in The Knick. Man is truly a bold and dissonant symphony of contradictions.

Redditors have latched onto Lindsay Wagner's necklace as a possible easter egg/code. They are attempting to crack it using quipu (Incan knot tying recording system), musical notation, etc. https://www.reddit.com/r/DeathStranding/comments/8qfzj1/lindsay_wagners_necklace/   Kojima has tweeted about quipu before: https://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/934380712618221570 My own personal interpretation of the code, based on my own experience breaking cryptic codes: BESURETODRINKYOUROVALTINE

Hideo posted some character renders on Tweeter.     I like the dreamcatcher on the back. That gun looks sick. It looks like Sam has some sorta exo load supporter leg attachments. I love the slots to attach more crates on his legs and shoulders.  The blue uniform with stripes resemble a United States Postal Service uniform, so Postman theory confirmed.

I just finished reading the Three Body Problem trilogy by Cixing Liu and the end of the third book had some creepily familiar elements of it, especially given the mentions of time in the trailer. Spoilers for the book Death’s End: In particular, at a certain point 5 alien spaceships take off from a planet, leaving 5 black ‘death strands’ (the translation says death lines but it’s a translation after all) hovering in the air trailing up into orbit. The death strands slow down the speed of light to 0, and are super dangerous because when disturbed they pop into what is effectively a relativistic trap where time travels much faster due to the speed of light being lowered to 16 m/s. A character gets caught while trying to land a ship and 17 million years pass by the time they land. Seems like it could be an inspiration if nothing else - the book came out in 2010.

And in his name. It's really cool how the invisible monsters leave endless cycles of plants growing/dying wherever they walk. They don't kill so much as they generate endless life...which always ends in death.
