Kojima Productions' Death Stranding Reveal Trailer - E3 2016

[@Lcsmu]

I remember when I first saw this trailer. I didn´t understand a single thing. Fortunately, now, 3 years later, I understand close to nothing.

[@Sam-vk8xd]

But Kojima keeps you... Coming. 😉

[@cringechannel515]

Same

[@solidparas1925]

He kept us waiting huh ?

[@bossapocalypse]

And then the game releases and it's actually an 8-bit side scroller platformer

[@nicholassnyder2241]

Wait, I think Norman Reedus is in it!

[@labaluba]

And here we are, playing one of the most mysterious games ever

[@yiraia7863]

And I'm in love with it! The atmosphere is breathtaking.

[@pengenmodernia6990]

It's a tedious ups simulator

[@bigpun60]

Abdul Haris you clearly haven’t played it enough if you think that. Game is amazing story wise I was shocked

[@Thlormby]

Shdjdjs Skdj I’ve played it and I was super disappointed with it. I have at least 10+ hours in it already

[@apfelobias5703]

Best game I played :3

[@SavageLatinoKid]

Kojima has impeccable taste in music.

[@FrenchSaladMac]

I thought the same thing I thought I was the only one who noticed that in all of his trailers the music sets the tone very well

[@Frozenkex]

and taste in men!... But seriously, he probably picked out of suggestions by other people, or just accepted the choice as "this sounds ok, do this" .

[@nickj4785]

+Frozenkex He actually is very passionet about music. So i dont think he just said "this sounds ok.."

[@wangruochuan]

bet he told the guy who got this song. "this song.... what took you so long?"

[@SavageLatinoKid]

Frozenkex If you frequent his Twitter page at all, you'll see that he is an avid listener of music. He often posts what he's listening to. Before he released the nuclear trailer for mgsv, he tweeted out that artists album. Before he made the GCD mgsv trailer, he tweeted out the artist "Garbage" and their song "not your kind of people." It's clear that the music he is listening to at that time is a great creative muse for him. Just look how much one David Bowie song influenced the entire story for mgsv. There's also many times how he talks about his creative process for how he picks the songs for the end credits of his games, and how they tie into the game's themes.

[@12457899tjie]

Konami treated Kojima like a criminal. Sony treats him like a hero

[@FancyTophatDude]

doesn't feel anything like what they planned with silent hills, it's more like letting kojima do whatever he wants and seeing what comes off it, i for one am really curious, even if this really didn't show too much

He doesn't own the rights to silent hills

[@30seconds2impact]

All of those are a given.

[@theshuman100]

I like to imagine they used Norman Reeds cuz they spent so much scanning him in for Silent Hill

[@mikeliszemitis8946]

It's quite possible that he left all his rights to the previous works to Konami. This is a brand new scan of Norman Reedus.

[@derekisazombie39]

More than possible, PT and the Fox Engine were created using Konami owned systems and in their offices. Nothing can carry over after a split like that.

[@graves911]

theshuman100 or him and Kojima are good friends and Kojima enjoys putting Norman into more of his work.

[@whatfreedom7]

derekisazombie39 I just read a article in gameinformer that claimed that death stranding will be working with guerilla games and will run the decima engine,same on running zero dawn.

[@julianvillafane2598]

GRAVEs right

[@synstar01]

When this trailer first came out I felt a huge personal connection to it. At the time My wife and I just experienced our 3rd loss/ miscarriage in attempting to have kids. An emergency surgery on my wife due to a blown out Fallopian tube and a scraped out fetus. I was shattered but numb. Catatonic. Then this trailer came out and I watched it not knowing what to expect since Kojima’s use of imagery. Seeing the newborn laying next to Norman and him picking up the infant gave me some warmth like a long journey for the 2 and they made it. But then the sudden vanishing of the baby welled up my eyes with tears. I was attempting to hold them back. And the camera panning down to reveal his cross like c-section scar on his stomach. The flood gates opened. I felt like life was stolen from me after seeing the trailer. The song from low roar and the trailer fit so well for me. It allowed me to finally mourn. An anchor was released from me. I severely needed the weights lifted. Bottling all the pain up like a typical male. It wasn’t healthy. 2 more losses for me and my wife I continued to watch this for my own personal therapy when I would feel like a zombie going through the motions in life. I’m happy to say me and my wife after a huge battle with consistent losses we we are 29 weeks pregnant. Had to turn to science and go the IVF route. Expecting a baby girl. You can feel free to judge or make troll comments. But this trailer is something special to me. I’m more than sure when the game comes out that it won’t have anything to do with an experience that I had. But it won’t stop me from playing the game. I just want to close this with saying a simple thank you to Hideo Kojima.

[@24jithu24]

synstar01 I love u bro...

[@mene1in]

An impressive reaction. Most people in your situation would have gotten offended and angry at the company for making light of a topic instead of using as a chance to heal. I hope your new baby is growing happy and healthy toward her first birthday. Thank you for sharing this experience.

[@GijsvanDam]

I just did too lol

[@simulacrxm]

Funny how when Guilhermo Del Toro starts walking in the second trailer, the hand prints appear on the ground, and when he plugs in the umbilical cord in the baby, the Reedus Feetus disapears. Hideo Kojima is just pure genious I've watched some reviews on youtube (mostly by a guy named RagnarRox) and man, we are in for a big f****ing surprise with this game.

[@Amek34]

Yeah I did this today

[@jackjack121]

Damn Kojima, didn't you JUST leave Konami? This guy works fast, looking forward to this.

[@pranaynair8611]

+Joseph Sternglass he was probably working on this as soon as he wasn't allowed at the VGAs

[@brandonwilliams6221]

It's half the reason he got kicked out. No slack

[@AllStarHockey1331]

Konami is garbage. If it wasn't for Kojima they wouldn't even be relevant.

[@DOSGRANDE]

Honestly and I think I was the only one to think this, I reckon konami treated Kojima like that because he always had plans to goto Sony over the last year before he left konami and they found out. He could have been working on this from before he left konami and konami didn't want him to be seen, nor promote his new game.

[@HusslerkiD]

won't be out for at least 3 years

Altay Çaya I think this is one of Sam's nightmares. He wakes up on his beach, and sees Lou crying. He cradles her, then she turns into a BT in his arms, looks up, and sees a crater resembling the aftermath of a voidout. Ingame, his nightmares always take place on his beach. At least that's my interpretation.

"He eventually finds himself inexplicably stranded on a slimy expanse of hellish black mire which extended about him in monotonous undulations as far as he could see...The region was putrid with the carcasses of decaying fish, and of other less describable things which he saw protruding from the nasty mud of the unending plain. A portion of the ocean floor... thrown to the surface by a volcanic upheaval, exposing regions which for innumerable millions of years had lain hidden under unfathomable watery depths." - Dagon, H.P.

[@bhagaskarapratista1549]

imagine if there was a metal gear solid movie, and norman reedus will play as solid snake

[@LuvMehSi]

There are two..ESCAPE FROM L.A and ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK. Matter fact, the first games were inspired from those movies.

[@Nathan-gj8ch]

That's true but if you actually play the games you would know how much the plot differs from that movie and how much more story there is in MGS, they are not even close. I want a Snake Eater movie with original sound track. Also just because you are inspired by something doesn't mean you copy it. Example; I watched the first woman to climb a grade (9A) route, it inspired me to Thru-Hike the AT north to south.

[@LuvMehSi]

I chose the term "inspired" predominately for that reason. Although those movies are what inspired the entire Metal gear franchise, Kojima chose a more serious tone when he wrote the games. There are still a lot of similarities between the characters, no matter how corny the movie Snake is. Such as, Snake from the movies managed to ALWAYS get out of every situation, no matter the problem-just as our beloved Snake. It also should be noted, if those movies didn't exist I'm pretty sure Snake wouldn't. At the very least, he'd have a different name.

[@Nathan-gj8ch]

I'll agree to all that I'm just weary of people not liking what they consider to be unoriginal works. it seems to me that there have been so many stories told that it's almost impossible to be original these days. It's like the music industry there's only so many notes and every combination has already been tried and recorded.

[@ernestjest2273]

Wow. Even as a kid I remember thinking the character from 'Escape from LA' would be ideal for that role, either cause they had same names or the same stark personality.

[@AngryDemonBowser]

I think the name is tying in with the English name. ''Island of one death stranding'' Instead of ''One man standing'' We already saw that Hideo was going really deep about the Homosapeans. Norman hugging the baby could be a sign of him saying: i am finally not alone in this world. There is a reason to live. But in the end he is the only one standing in the soil as a production of man kind. OR WE COULD LOOK TOO FAR INTO THIS and actually see that is is a novelist...

[@smartboy201]

This is clearly an FPS. I look forward to the Toddler Tommy Gun being a solid Primary Weapon, with the Baby as a sweet secondary.

[@Assassinoxable]

"Kojima has confirmed that the mascot is called Ludens. Ludens is first referred to in a russian 1987 novel about the coming of a superior race of beings called Ludens who experiment on humanity. The opening lines of the trailer are from William Blake's Auguries of Innocence which has a lot of meanings, but mostly that with time nature can restore itself even after the mistreatment of man, that human judgement will have dire consequences, and that there are multiple planes of existence. Finally going into the trailer, immediately the beached whales and dead wildlife directly links to the poem, showing the destruction of nature through humanity. The disappearance of the baby can also show the divine retribution of mankind by not being able to continue living on earth as mortals in order to allow nature to be reborn, as nature is all interconnected (see; the umbilical cords on mammals). Going into Norman Reedus' character and the 5 beings, there is a definite religious allegory as well. Not only from the cross on his stomach but also to the positions the figures are taking, creating an homage to crucifixion. This can take on two tones. either that Norman is humanities only salvation; as a Jesus figure or; that he is a Christlike figure fallen from grace and must save humanity through the destruction of gods. Going back to the Ludens theory, this can link greatly back to the religious themes as well. If the Ludens are seen as godlike figures, they could have been the ones who decided that humanity had gone too far and decided to destroy earth. now, Norman is also the character model for the Luden logo, so some are assuming that Norman himself is a Luden and has gone against his people. But I disagree because since he is wearing a handcuff I believe he is a human who has escaped some sort of testing facility the Ludens have made to either test on humanity or enslave them The 6 items around his neck are either keys or usbs of some kind, showing that he is a harbringer of knowledge and the key to humanities survival, though he is still not a completely pure being, as seen from the child turning to oil. There can also be a darker tone from the necklace, possibly symbolising 6 other children who had turned to oil, though they clearly do not die due to the prints still existing in the sand. Could it be that simply the corporeal forms of humanity cease to exist? This is a very valid claim when you look back to the auguries because of its hinting towards multiple planes of existence. Norman is chained to this one because he has not succumbed to humanities destruction of nature but at the same time is destined to be the one to break that cycle of humanity. And the lyrics are the representation of Norman's character. He's going to take the Ludens head on, though he is destined to be the unknown hero of humanity. This as well as the theory of humanity being on another plane of existence than him is in the line 'seen but never heard, buried underground'. The humans can clearly see him in some way, from the way the footsteps on the sand follow him around, but there is no way to contact one another." - RU

[@theallmightychad]

Well...as anyone that's played any of Kojima's games knows, he's big on metaphors.
