NERDS REACT DEATH STRANDING LAUNCH TRAILER

[@quietdemon8138]

That was Hideo Kojima’s intention (the game creator/director) it was him taking the typical formula of movies and video games and saying ‘oh everyone expects this to be just one type of thing well screw that I’m gonna subvert everyone’s expectations and redefine what a video game is’, the plot is meant to be confusing and not make sense .... until you play it and experience it firsthand.

[@alexd2316]

Kojima has never really made a game where the gameplay wasn't groundbreaking and amazing for its time.

[@waifuhunter9709]

2 Metal gear solid og games before metal gear solid 1 on ps-one they did made a whole new genre . stealth action . even mgs one ps-one considered groundbreaking at that time

[@quietdemon8138]

Even the original Metal Gear (1987) was legit one of (if not) the first stealth game ever made and it was consistently resisted by both the team Hideo was working with and Konami themselves all of which would repeatedly insult him throughout development (when it comes to Konami there’s no surprise there they’ve always been douchebags)

What?? He literally invented the strealth game genre. That's why Kojima is famous.

[@cbhunts7732]

You should get this and let Loren play a "let's play walkthrough" on the channel. I know I would watch it for sure.

[@frothyjazz7425]

Don't worry, the confusion you're feeling is completely intentional. As someone who's put 30+ hours into the game now, I can tell you, it's best to go into it without knowing anything.

[@frothyjazz7425]

@@news19nerds11 I'm glad, I'm so addicted already. Built the entire highway across the "Lake knot city" map, hope we're linked, and enjoy :P

[@MRPIGGLES1]

just saying, there was a 49-minute long gameplay preview that basically explained all the gameplay already. people that say they are still confused after that are not paying attention or are saying so because they dont know everything yet, even though most has been shown besides the full story

[@ReGina4Peyton]

It looks interesting in a crazy way

[@goobiac8826]

If you look at the other trailers, people tend to die when they make sound out in the wild(?). So the calming the baby mechanic may be part of that. This game looks like it's just going to be a horror/action/adventure story more so than a game. Also, Death Stranding is the term for a mysterious event where whales beach themselves en masse and all die. This is probably what the extinction event started with. Mass whale beachings.

[@seishinaozora5839]

I mean there have already been several extinction events throughout history.

[@tsogobauggi8721]

After all the trailers I still don't know what is happening, I just have ideas, and that is great. :) 3:18 This part reminds of the movie Oblivion.

[@bdof1]

100% agreed. This whole song and visuals remind me sooooo much of Oblivion. A movie with a seriously underrated OST

[@jevonhilton2236]

Tsögö Bauggi you’re trying to connect a world that is going extinct pretty much, there are other things though, lots of symbolism.

[@tsogobauggi8721]

@@bdof1 The landscape of the movie looks just like in Oblivion. It looks like Iceland. Also the feeling of the game and some other parts also remind me of that movie. And M83's music in the movie really is amazing.

I thought the final trailer would give me answers but instead gave me more questions.

[@cbhunts7732]

They said everything is free. Dlc, characters and a season pass.

[@bintangrigel2946]

season pass ?

[@Kostanovi]

There won't be a season pass or a dlc though

[@cbhunts7732]

@@Kostanovi yup. But they did say everything is free

[@Sam-vk8xd]

CB Hunts nothing is free.

[@cbhunts7732]

@@Sam-vk8xd I know that. Hopefully we'll see lol. I have my doubts as well as you do.

[@executor31]

I will wait for it to come to PC. What i think this game is about: A mass extinction event happened on Earth , most people died . Alot ended up in the other world as ghosts ( Final Fantasy The Spirit Within style ). The baby is connected to the other world , and in the last scene Reedus is actually talking with BB while in the other world . BB calls to him and say "meet me at the beach" and remember guys first trailer is Reedus on the beach. Mads becomes a agent of the other world and it is also "connected" with his past fellow soldiers ( that is why there are wires between him and the guys ) We see a personification of America as the lady in red dress , that has the face of the former president when she was younger. Overall it will be a game about connecting people and closing wounds all around the US while battling supernatural ghost made out of dead people. We see the motive of people clinging to living things , probably to come back into the "real" world.

[@eXoticXGAMINGCAST]

That’s great, but there’s one problem in what you were saying and that’s that it isn’t the BB calling to him it’s actually the presidents daughter Amelie as she is stuck on the beach as she was kidnapped basically and she also cannot age because her body is stuck on the beach and Sam looks to have tapped in to the other side using BB and is communicating with her (in that part that’s my speculation) and so that’s why Sam is going to her to save her as she is going to carry on the work of her mother and become the UCAs next president.

[@brentrazz6355]

He's like a super star. Actors want too work with him

[@quietdemon8138]

Even movie directors have cameos (which is cool because Kojima adores cinema just like myself) the characters Heartman (dude with the glasses who lives in that apartment) his cgi model is the filmmaker Nicholas Winding Refn who directed Bronson (2008) and Drive (2011) and the character of Deadman (big dude who has a Spanish accent) his model is the Hellboy (2004) and The Shape of Water (2017) director Guillermo Del Toro

Hmmmm ... No, I won't be getting this. I would probably watch a gamer I like play but I wouldn't spend my money on this. That trailer told me nothing, except this game is OUT there.

[@jeremyshiner7341]

Playing and watching is 2 different experiences, you could watch someone play a whole game then play it for yourself and still enjoy

[@laupao2595]

Its better than a trailer full of spoilers.

[@GreedAndSelfishness]

What do you want to know? Theyve shown plenty. Gameplay, story etc...

[@yacchaga]

If you want a game where you can kill people, this game is not for you. Well, you can but more dead bodies increase difficulty when traveling the world. More dead bodies = more invisible enemies.
