Death Stranding 2's Norman Reedus Talks Aggressive Tone and Hideo Kojima Yelling at Him - Interview

[@Eisaku2]

Why does the idea of Hideo yelling full tilt at Norman over the phone while things break against the wall in background make me laugh so hard

[@h1gh3r73]

Norman sitting there with his beginner level dictionary of Japanese grammar like "何?!"

[@nowherebeans]

bro same probably because we see him so quiet and cheerful but to them they see the real him

[@MaQuGo119]

Because Hideo is short.

[@bemesda]

Because it’s him sitting there just listening to them yell in Japanese with absolutely no idea what he’s saying.

i cant even imagine how Kojima must be when angry, hes always so cheerful and calm, usually those guys get angry the most when they get to it

[@johnmedrano9163]

I feel the same, I compare it too a person getting angry if you mess with their child. Death Stranding is Hideos Child 😊

[@AnotherGamingDude]

In the making of mgs4 hideo is having an argument with the lead programmer and you can see him really pissed.😅 Como on dude you are not a true Kojima cultist if you haven't seen that.

Norman: Has the trailer come out yet? Interviewer: Uhh... the whole game actually came out, didn't you hear...? Norman: Alright so after Sam's death we see...

I was watching the interviewer go through Paragon and Renegade options in real time as to whether to lie or not 🤣

[@dinestygamer8857]

I swear Norman always looks like he hasn't slept in weeks

[@MarlonAnthony]

He just looks confused about Death Stranding in general, like he dreads being asked about it because he doesn't even understand what his character is meant to be going through in that game

[@Muthalickaa]

He’s always had those bags. Even in boondock saints lol

[@DarthDimmadome]

If there’s one thing I want the internet to find and leak, it’s those phone calls of Hideo yelling at Norman lol

[@craisert]

hideo kojima on the phone be like "WHY DID YOU REDEEM IT WHY DID YOU REDEEM IT"

[@stevemuzak8526]

Hideo gonna yell at him again :D

[@shortycruz4232]

Hedio: okay and now you cry

[@olsten44]

I WAS JUST thinking that lmaoooooo 😂😂😂

[@mangahead1987]

you can see him focus so much on vetting himself to not say anything that hes not at liberty to and also say something with substance. bless him.

[@dearkazuscorner2549]

you can feel the hurt "He's yelled at me several times"

[@bigdingus5359]

The plot twist of DS2 is that you were playing DS3 all along

[@OFWGKTA126]

From watching the walking dead and then being late to death stranding this year he easily made his way to my top actors him and Keanu Reeves are my guys for sure

[@heroicjourney2508]

He's the perfect John Connor for the Terminator sequel we all deserve....

[@rickclick8359]

Nice idea never thought of that a perfect fit.

[@bradydavis5791]

We don't deserve anything. Much less a Terminator sequel no one should be asking for. Terminator is done. Let it stay done.

[@MarioVelezBThinkin]

Not the worst take in the world friend.

[@stoneroses8818]

A sequel after Terminator 3 starring him as John Connor would be nice, how he and Kathleen rise from the rubble and build the resistance. Then Arnold could make a short appearance in the climax/end when he infiltrate them to assassinate John.

Eu não consigo imaginar o Kojima gritando com ele kkkkkkkk mas deve ser engraçado.

To every one of you who don't get a simple joke: No, Hideo doesn't yell at him, it's a joke.

[@ThePatrikable]

Dont be so sure about that

I mean maybe "yells at him" figuratively, like reprimands him, but yea it was probably mostly a joke.

I was thinking that norman reeds actually was talking in a really agressive tone to the interviewer but then i remember how kind he is

[@tonyleidyiii1652]

I hope Norman reedus will be in more video games. He plays a great video game protagonist

[@TempleofShaolin]

feel like gunplay will be very improved. actual guns were seen in the trailer, cant wait

[@MichaelFalkowski]

Love how they are going the aggressive route for the second game. Loved the first game. Can’t wait for the new installment

[@ferrodriguez10]

Is it me or does Norman Reedus look like an older version of John Connor from Terminator 2?…like he could have been used for a true sequel to that movie.

[@tmm4461]

Somebody else mentioned it too and actually he'd be perfect. On the other hand, another terminator movie...

[@ferrodriguez10]

@@tmm4461 yeah he would be. But yeah that franchise truly got ruined by all the mediocre crap they did. Should have stuck to not much CGI and James Cameron directing it.

I CANT WAIT FOR DS2

[@eddyfuzzy5]

You can tell Norman and Hideo have a good relationship lol

[@Kojima_lover]

I'm so excited for this game

[@dbzispimpin]

I'm 100% certain that Norman saying Hideo yelled at him, is just Reedus throwing back Hideo's own humor back at him, because Hideo doesn't seem like the kind of person to call someone and yell, but I'm sure the idea of him doing that would make Hideo laugh, which is precisely why Reedus would say it on camera knowing Hideo would hear about it through the grapevine and give him a chuckle.

[@enyaratna]

I am sure there is dark side of Kojima. His positive image is a work of pr managers, the same goes for Keanu Reeves and Dave Grohl. Its just a new trend among celebrities - to appear sinless.

[@amberclad3412]

This interview feels like its between 2 people who have no clue what they are talking about

I mean you're not wrong haha

[@miklein01]

Don't spoil anything, I wanna be as cold as I can on this game. and I believe Hideo will give us a great story and possibly make me cry again.

[@Taylor-rw4le]

I don’t know whether he actually has real passion for the project but regardless if it’s a step up from the last game he’s gonna do great and the gameplay will be phenomenal for those who enjoy this project

[@JetLagRecords]

Nerd Reactor, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!

[@HueyTheDoctor]

He seems like a genuinely cool dude, I'd smoke up with him.

[@EhCloserLook]

Death Stranding _might_ just be my favorite game from last gen. It's definitely up in the top 3 for sure!

[@GeeGe.]

Hey I know this might be a weird question but would you mind selling me on the game? It's on sale right now but just by looking at it online the game sort of seems... empty to me. I also watched some combat gameplay and it looked really jank to me. But I also see a lot of people singing its praises so I'm wondering what I'm missing. I get that the story is probably great but what about the gameplay makes it special?

[@EhCloserLook]

@@GeeGe. A couple days ago I tried to link you to a review I wrote for the game on STEAM... but I think KZbin auto-deleted the comment since there was a STEAM URL in it? IDK. 🤷🏻‍♂

[@GeeGe.]

@@EhCloserLook lol fair enough, appreciate the attempt.

[@JPigLOL]

​@@GeeGe. The gameplay is incredibly immersive, you need to play to feel, a long time ago, before playing, i saw video of the final boss fight , seemed very bland, boring, but after i played... its incredible, a vivid experience, Just playing to feel what happens, before, during, and after, but i must say that the first 3 chapters are a kind of tutorial, from chapter 4 and beyond, its a non stop thrill

[@GeeGe.]

@@JPigLOL mkay, thanks for the input. I'll consider getting it when it goes on sale again and I'm out of open world games to play

[@aroccoification]

Plot twist it’s a turn based rpg and the previous cast is all your party members

[@Tomweldonsays]

He just revealed something else I don't think we knew. Sounds like multiple playable characters to me, when he said "there's a whole crew this time".

[@SuperThreeCheese]

Yeah that was sus, in a good way

[@pintarolas]

On the first trailer, you a see a ship emerging from tar and Fragile says “come meet my crew, Sam”. On the second trailer we see a few new characters inside the ship who are 100% said crew. I don’t think there will be other playable characters

[@rocinantesh8391]

i hava a question did he have the tattoo before or he got it after ds?

[@mjhickson4339]

All i know is this game is gonna be amazing!!

[@kingsmerte3629]

Well Norman confirmed they were making a sequel before the title was even revealed, so Kojima's reaction is understandable lol

[@olechristianhenne6583]

the first game sold soo well

[@pedro.alcatra]

Man the tatto is his? when i saw it toght it was from the game character lol.

[@CarlosHenLopes]

"Toda vez que eu falo alguma coisa sobre esse jogo o Hideo me liga e grita comigo então não vou dizer nada. É ele já brigou comigo me ligando várias vezes" kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk a cara do Hideo dar esporro e a cara do "Sam" de dar spoilers

[@garybarnum8874]

Kojima has a gigantic ego especially after the metal gear franchise I have seen him talking horriblely to people he works with.

[@HaiDude-yh8wv]

Yes he has a reputation now for burning bridges I can't get into any of his new stuff he's stepped away from a more grounded approach now that he's not required to with with anyone he's hasn't veted into his inner circle imo. I'm not into horror or unhinged aristic stuff like paint all overall the walls. I just like deep thinking and good dialog. He kinda lost me on the fever dream stuff in the ds series. I felt like it came from a bad lsd trip. I get that some arist are liked for there going over the edge. For artist it's nothing new but somtimes it can feel a bit over the top outside of horror movies. For somone antiviolence doesn't make sense in some respects it does feel also unhinged too when everything else feels too bizarre. I'm not a fan of extreme or crazy I have my reasons. Maybe it's just me but don't need to lose myself in something to enjoy it with music I might make an exception a bit.

[@SirRockXIII]

Aggressive tone.. im actually gunna enjoy the gameplay of this one.. not just the graphics and story haha

[@andresilvasophisma]

My issue with this game is that it makes Big Boss look not so legendary by comparison. 1:57:33 The thing is that in the end og MGS4 Big Boss says something like "You erased me two times before, today will mark the third time", which basically validates that he was the one in both operations.

I always said Hideo is an arrogant kid, that has no clue about game development & mechanics or anything else, except writing stories, maybe. That's why you guys got a walking simulator with enough cut-scenes with his games. There's a reason why the Metal Gear creators didn't let him accept the award. He is arrogant, conceited and not at all likeable.
