AAA titles have been letting me down something fierce the past few years. I pretty much have zero hype for upcoming games except for Kojima's Death Stranding. I for one hope to see fantastic gameplay paired with awkwardly paced cutscenes, a closet full of bisexual villains, hamfisted social commentary... all this by a dude who justified the perpetual half nudity of one of his female characters by saying she breathes through her skin. She will literally suffocate with clothes on.

All that weirdness addressed, the even stranger trailers for Death Stranding get me excited for a game I still don't know the point of or if it'll borrow any gameplay mechanics from Metal Gear whatsoever. Also theres ~*celebs*~ in this game.

PLAYSTATION INTERVIEWS KOJIMA ON DEATH STRANDING!
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2017/02/23/the-hideo-kojima-death-stranding-interview-strands-decima-and-guerrilla-games/

I don't know what else to fill this OP with, and frankly its probably too early, but i'll leave those inclined to look at the hundreds of rumor/analysis videos on YouTube to do so on their own. There was an interview with Kojima a few weeks back, which will probably be the most concrete details we have for a while. I dunno about you dudes, but I hope its not a PS4 exclusive because more people should have access to this wackiness and I'd like to have it on steam honestly.

If you watch both trailers at the same time, the instant the baby vanishes from trailer one, it pops up with Guillermo in trailer two.

I think humans are going to fight the skeleton war with psychic babies in jars.

At least that's the gist I got.

Really if there isn't a plot twist where del Toro turns out to be the inevitable sexy woman, this game is a failure.

Until I see actual gameplay I'm convinced Kojima is actually just making a video game movie now.

I would be OK with Hideo Kojima making a movie about psychic babies fighting the skeleton war.

Im surprised how much he toned it down after MGS4. I wonder if this is going to also include save points between 3 or 4 cutscenes.
