Anyone else going back and rewatching the trailers post game, just for the surreal feeling of finally understanding what we've been over-analyzing for the past few years?
I love this trailer, because it feels far less like a traditional advertisement and more like a surreal painting/film. The music and ambience are mysterious and dreadful. The lack of any dialog gives a feeling of isolation and suspense and makes you concentrate on the world itself. When it was first released, each time I watched it I noticed one new detail after another. The trailer in general feels like (a piece of) a puzzle that draws the viewer deeper into a rabbit hole. No matter if the game is good or bad, no matter if I ever get to play this myself (don't have ps4), this trailer will forever have a place in my heart as a piece of art.
dreams blaze actually there was this E3 presentation of a Japanese game which claimed to be accurate to Japan's history but then they showed the gameplay in which a giant enemy crab attacks the player out of nowhere... he is most probably referencing to that
@@cameronmeade4200 or killing himself. idk, the latest trailer has me excited to see Cliffs relationship with Bridge Baby, as the two scenes we see are very emotional Edit: in an interview last year Madds said his character will not be the bad guy, rather a character with intentions that are against yours but seem just. obviously I paraphrased, but he's saying his character's intentions will be understood by the player, leading me to believe he wants to get BB back; not because it hurts Sam/Dead man/Etc, instead he's doing it to get back what is his
I like the way things from the beach come back in time and meet you in gameplay...like the other Sam's voices when Sam says, " I am Sam!" then, a voice from another time says, "I'm Sam too!" creepy! I love it! YEAH!!
No gameplay shown, no idea what the game or story is about, yet, I'm so addicted to this trailer. Seen it up to twenty times (not exaggerating). I'm so intrigued and fascinated.
One of the most interesting trailers for a video game ive ever seen. 1000 theories,quesions, assumptions, this is why to me Kojima is the GOAT of game creation.
LudicrousKid Hes something special. I was losing sleep waiting for metal gear 5 and when i saw the fuckery they did to him and the game coming half ass, i was fucked up yo. The potiential was not from this world. But with this hes in full control, and more thought provoking then ever. As an aspiring actor myself, i would work with him anyday before any Hollywood director.
I finished finished the game a month after it’s release. Yet I still come here every now and then to enjoy this cinematic. This game was something else.
Death Stranding will be something revolutionary, it will change our expectations and views on how games should be, this is Kojima in his best, from all these years of experience in game development and his genius, without having to deal with Konami restrictions.
Its amazing when you think about how much time was put into every single detail of the characters and the enviroment. Really hard to fathom how much work was put into it. And we are yet to see the game itself.
I had this game just sitting on my Playstation since release and after the DS2 trailers started emerging I finally gave this game a proper try after giving up the first time after 6-7 hours. And my god am I glad I did! It took about 70hrs complete the game and get the platinum and I loved every minute of it. What a fantastic experience this game was. The story is Kojima's best one so far and the gameplay got really fun longer into the game. Can't wait for the sequel now!
Same dude. I started up again a few weeks before my coworker told me there was a sequel and once I heard that I definitely gotta finish before the sequel comes out.
And the absolute best part is, everything that was """bad""" about the first one? You can bet your ass Kojima learned from it and will fix it for the second one. Prepare because I am certain sequel will meet expectations and beyond
The way this transitions into one of if not THE most disappointing missions in the entire game should be studied. If they showed off the actual gameplay level this introduces instead of this trailer people would have had VERY different feelings about Death Stranding IMO.
@@GuitarSlayer136 seeing the skeleton soldiers with the CQB moves and Mads with a decked out AR and NODS i feel like this was Kojimas way of saying farewell to the MGS franchise. It gives me a chills! I have not yet played DS but ive watched the cutscenes countless of times. cheers!
Hideo Kojima is the GOAT when it comes to story for video games. I love how he puts a lot of complex philosophical story elements in each of his games. The only thing that you can say that doesn't do very well is handling the script
I remember when Death Stranding got announced. Crazy to think that it's almost been 8 years, and that we're getting a sequel, an A24 movie, and two new games from Kojima.
There's just something about the WW2 era soldiers being skeletons that is totally bad ass, but when Mad stepped out of the shadows commanding his squad in modern military uniform and night vision he looked a thousand times more menacing and deadly, and the he way his goggles flashed off of his head as he told the others to keep silent! The coolness factor of this trailer is high af!
One of my all time favorite video game trailers, the part at the end with Cliff and the music is so incredible , still get chills after all these years, Hideo Kojima is a genius 👏👏👏
This is a game where you fight a giant ghost squid hopping rooftop to rooftop chucking grenades full of your own blood at the thing while it tugs down buildings into the murky depths below, and people act like the *only* thing you ever do is walk. Hell that's not even the only method of traversal and you get an electric trike REALLY early on that speeds the game up a lot when you do.
I like how when they premiered this trailer, Mads taking his NVG off, and everyone screamed, while he was like "Shhhh-- quiet...". Looks like he was communicating with the audience.
Having finally reached this point in the game organically, suddenly ALL of this makes sense. Makes me remember when this trailer came out, and all we had was speculation.
@@slicedtonix3989 ik rn I am giving it a re play on directors cut I beat it when it first came out and I forgot a bunch of stuff so it pretty fun and with the PS5 graphics it was beautiful
one thing kojima consistently does is using in game cutscenes for the trailers. For most part. Even the fake msg2 traielrs with no raiden only changed models
Pople in these comments talking about "I wish I could've played THIS version of the game" obviously bailed on DS after 5 hours. Half of the game is like this!
i personally enjoyed the game.. the game is like a new fresh experience compared to shoot fest other games in market at.. maybe i could've not enjoyed this much if market wasn't full of copy cat and garbage mediocre games.. that being said.. death stranding is very long with so many kind of boring delivery missions.. i don't mind these missions if there are more variety in them.. they are like fillers between important events..
Yeah. The dolls are this creepy element you can't really place. Now, their presence around Cliff, when we know what they represent and where they come from, is just sad. Like a taunting... It's nasty. Fuck I love this game.
Oh no, it sounds like every generic scene when an ambitious villain appears - like Saren from Mass Effect or tens of other examples Low Roar is more "moody" and leaves a subtle impression.
+NetPathfinder When was the last time synth was properly used in media? This feels more like Stranger Things than Mass Effect, and its downright magnificent. Games almost never actually use the song they use to debut their game as part of the ost.
This breaks the fourth wall in so many layers. I'm still stunned how the world on the other side of the screen seeps into our world and how our world seeps into the world behind the screen. To worlds, in one game. It is not even compareable to any kind of art that I know. I wish you success Mr Kojima. May this be the beginning of a new era. The era of Homo Ludens.
Kojima truly has a mind of a genius. The Metal Gear story about nuclear weapons and America vs Soviet Union, the cold war. If I was a billionaire, I would 100% support his ideas in story telling and would give him all the money and resources he needs. He can take any idea and make it into a true vision. Something unique. We need more developers like Kojima.
The way the compass at that guy's chest moves at 3:58, the way that baby's eye blinks at 4:13 and the way fish swim in the new trailer are hinting something weird is happening to gravity/magnetic poles
That's more true than you know. There's more to the story than what you have when the game ends. Remember when Amelie says: "But, to connect the dots, to make sense of everything, you need perspective. You need time."? That's not Amelie talking to Sam. That's Kojima talking to the player. There are so many clues hidden in the cutscenes to a mystery the player is not even presented with.
I've buried 19 of hours into this game so far, occasionally seeing Mads Mikkelsen during cutscenes which seem to be flashbacks about him being a nice guy, but I'm still yet to see him in this agressive form. Still so curious about what's gonna happen. I should find more time to play this game further.
Keep going bro! I've put in about 45 hrs so far and it's getting insane! haha I wasn't sure in the first few hours, but now I know this game is for me : )
I finished playing the game in the 2021's Quarantine period. Trust me, its worth it. Keep playing it and enjoying it. Don't give up at any point, your future self will thank you for playing such an incredible game. Keep On Keeping On.
It's really inspiring to see Kojima apply his love for movies and his original plan to be a movie director in a different platform... it's like he forced it into existence from the very first Metal Gear game, I don't know the man but it's almost a proud moment having played the Polygon format of MGS 1 back in 98 as a kid.
While the game itself is a lot of fun and one of my favorites, it would have been just as fun if Death Stranding had just remained a bunch of highly conceptual, loosely connected trailers for a nonexistent game. Also, remember reading Kojima tweets that suggested dying was going to be a more involved game mechanic - I.e., dying (and perhaps destroying the world [this was before the concept of voidouts was announced]) at the right times and places being how you progress - but the delivery man sim with light stealth and gun combat that predicted Covid-era isolation and loneliness was just as novel. The perfect game to herald in the 2020s.
@@augiemdmorado i feel like they were bound because of the tech. Even though the ps4 was extremely capable, it was simply getting old. The next gen hardware may just be enough to support some of the wilder abandoned ideas which we might see in DS2.
One of my favorite directors and one of my favorite actors in one of my favorite game designers' creation ♥ Incredibly atmospheric, especially with this wonderful music
Been doing some research about Death Stranding. Death Stranding Definition: Also known as a Cetacean Stranding is when a whale is discovered dead due to becoming beached. Limbo: The waiting room of the dead, often depicted as an infinite beach. In Christian mythology, it is where unbaptised babies and those who have lived a good life, but never converted to Christianity go after they die. Dying: In interviews, it has been said the dying in death stranding will instead of being a game over, will actually play a part in the game. Revelations King James 20:13: And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. Daryl's Dog Tags: It has been discovered that on Norman Reedus' dog tags, as seen in the trailer shows equations related to quantum physics and blackholes.
This is synced with the first trailer! When the baby disappears from hands of the naked guy, it appears in the machine of this guy. When the naked guy cries, this guy's feet start getting flooded. They're also both wearing one side of a cuff, indicating a link I believe. When their backs are turned, they both look further down into the distance. In this trailer, further down, there are those FIVE evil weird soldier things. In the first trailer, further down, there are FIVE weird floating things. I think the naked guy in the first trailer is linked to the baby doll here as they both have that same scar. Furthermore, that baby doll bumping into that guy at the end could tell us that the naked guy did indeed advance towards that sea. So we're seeing teleportations between different dimensions/ life and death/ I have no clue. I love this game already.
FullMetalBiscuit it was specified word by word on 2 occasions that this is indeed in real time and kojima went as far as sayin that the final game will look even better :)
Demy Prod Believe what you want, it won't look that good when it comes out, especially on PlayStation. They always say "Ah look how nice it looks this is real time blah blah blah" and then it looks worse. Take a look at literally any game that has a 'real time' trailer and compare it to the release.
FullMetalBiscuit mgsv did not have a downgrade theres an exemple for you, kojima is very strict on showing trailers and gameplay that will look just like the final product u should know that by now if youve followed his work since mgs1.
What are you talking about? This is real time game play graphics runinng in 4k, not CGI. This has already BEEN confirmed. ua-cam.com/video/VV5Fjokx17c/v-deo.html
Anyone notice the hand signals are the same from the new trailer. New guy has that tracking device like the others so maybe Madds character isn’t a bad guy.
“The characters are very dualistic in (Kojima’s) games: There is no such thing as a bad guy or a good guy in his games,” Mikkelsen said. “It is all a challenge; you have to go through these characters to achieve certain things. And it’s also a learning curve, and they will be an obstacle for you sometimes, and sometimes they will be a help for you.” Mikkelsen went on to suggest that the roles of Death Stranding’s characters may shift as the plot unfolds. “(Kojima’s) games are not as black and white as Hollywood is sometimes,” he said. “So there are more nuances of gray in his world. You’ll have to encounter these characters in different ways throughout the game.”
Hello Mr. Kojima, To start you are one of my absolute idols. Your story of getting into the video game industry and vision and passion for making triple A games has inspired me since the, "Metal Gear Solid" days. I remember being a child and playing the game for the first time on my step-brothers Sony PS1 and actually having a connection to the game as if I were an actor starring in a movie. I loved that feeling and ever since then I have followed you and your creations as well as your career. Right now I am 24 years old serving the U.S. Military but still aspiring to become a video game designer. I love the idea of bringing a story together from scratch and I've been really good a story telling for some time now enough to make a current project I've been working on since my high school days called, "Utopia". The game is about 9 children being abducted by an unknown entity and put in an environment made by the entity for experimentation on survival. My biggest influences for this game are the psychological horrors from the silent hill series, Metal gear solid for it's child soldier theory, The classic film, "Lord of the Flies", And various Sci-fi films. My question to you Mr. Kojima is what wisdom and advice, from an experienced person in this field such as yourself, can you give me for my project and my future ambitions to becoming a great video game designer in today's video game industry? I look forward to your response if possible and I cannot wait for your next masterpiece, "Death Stranding" to be released. ~One of your fans Joseph Araujo
1) new game announced. 2) people finish the game and then re watch the teaser and understand exactly what was shown. Versus watching it the first time and you're like "wtf is this". Its not that hard to understand, comments aren't a kojima game.
I saw DeadMan and Heartman's theory of the beach and how every person can be placed to a unique world. They still dont explain why that tank has guts and tentacles coming out from inside!
I think it's because it was Clifford's beach and it has something to do with him going to hell and back to bring the best of the best soldiers he can ever recruit just to get his BB back.
He's a soldier and if there one thing we know is that war can be hell for soldiers like him. Who know maybe those tentacles are for the soldiers who drowned at sea died fighting.
Because it´s abstract symbolism. You can´t explain it precisely but it makes some kind of sense or at least awakens ideas and emotions when you see it. That´s the point of art - exploring the unknown in an aesthetic manner.
As he took of the night vision goggles I almost expected a 'Kept you waiting huh'
his smirk said it all.
Kojima must be sitting there and laughing by all of our theories about this game.
This is what happens when you tell Kojima, 'just do whatever you want'
Just buy this year's Call of Duty then, babby.
Another fkn masterpiece by the hand of Kojima 🤞
@@hairrhaxx EXACTLY!!! Masterpiece of a game!
isn’t that what he’s best at?
@@hairrhaxx game was shit gtfoh
Kojima just straight up put out whole cutscenes from the final game as trailers and still nobody understood a thing.
when I came across the scene in the game I was astonished to remember that this trailer was revealed in 2017
@MeAgain BS Yeah but it's amazing how much development of the game was made in 2017 since that's a late game cutscene and work began in 2016
Anyone else going back and rewatching the trailers post game, just for the surreal feeling of finally understanding what we've been over-analyzing for the past few years?
Yeah and tbh I'm still not sure if I'm happy or disappointed about how it turned out to be...
I love this trailer, because it feels far less like a traditional advertisement and more like a surreal painting/film. The music and ambience are mysterious and dreadful. The lack of any dialog gives a feeling of isolation and suspense and makes you concentrate on the world itself. When it was first released, each time I watched it I noticed one new detail after another. The trailer in general feels like (a piece of) a puzzle that draws the viewer deeper into a rabbit hole.
No matter if the game is good or bad, no matter if I ever get to play this myself (don't have ps4), this trailer will forever have a place in my heart as a piece of art.
i love your comment, my thought. thanks. this trailer is my all-time-fouvorite. it is from another world.

Mads' character controls skeletons using black wires.
Skeletons... *death*...
Wires... *stranding*...
PuppetMaster9 dude....
goddammit
PuppetMaster9 Umbilical cords.
"teaser", for kojima that is a movie that would win any sundance festival award
This is... one of the best modern video games I've ever play. Thank you for put this video game on my hands.
The way the compass at that guy's chest moves at 3:58, the way that baby's eye blinks at 4:13 and the way fish swim in the new trailer are hinting something weird is happening to gravity/magnetic poles
feels like something weird is happening to everything possible
And the upside-down rainbow in the sky!
Something weird is happening to Kojima's brain
See you in may 29th y'all
Death Stranding is a game that doesn't grow on you.
You grow on it.
That's more true than you know. There's more to the story than what you have when the game ends. Remember when Amelie says:
"But, to connect the dots, to make sense of everything, you need perspective. You need time."? That's not Amelie talking to Sam.
That's Kojima talking to the player. There are so many clues hidden in the cutscenes to a mystery the player is not even presented with.
I've buried 19 of hours into this game so far, occasionally seeing Mads Mikkelsen during cutscenes which seem to be flashbacks about him being a nice guy, but I'm still yet to see him in this agressive form. Still so curious about what's gonna happen. I should find more time to play this game further.
Keep going bro! I've put in about 45 hrs so far and it's getting insane! haha
I wasn't sure in the first few hours, but now I know this game is for me : )
I finished playing the game in the 2021's Quarantine period. Trust me, its worth it. Keep playing it and enjoying it. Don't give up at any point, your future self will thank you for playing such an incredible game. Keep On Keeping On.
Why am I watching this 10 times every day?
DiegoTube85 because even though you have no idea what this is about, it looks and sounds amazing! =D
Whew ..I thought I was the only one..Been like two years and still I watch it 10 times everyday ..
I think this game actually lived up to the hype
And here we are... In 2022. Kojima Predictions.
It's really inspiring to see Kojima apply his love for movies and his original plan to be a movie director in a different platform... it's like he forced it into existence from the very first Metal Gear game, I don't know the man but it's almost a proud moment having played the Polygon format of MGS 1 back in 98 as a kid.
who else watches this trailer religiously?
religiously!
I watch it confusingly.
I love this moment. Mads (Cliff)is so cool
Started this game a few days ago! Got 45hrs now and more are comming. I love this game so much ♥️
Kojima is a master. He makes the best trailers.
Superlosia and the best games
There is no better Villian face and voice than this man.
The speculation about this game was fucking insane. These trailers were perfect.
While the game itself is a lot of fun and one of my favorites, it would have been just as fun if Death Stranding had just remained a bunch of highly conceptual, loosely connected trailers for a nonexistent game.
Also, remember reading Kojima tweets that suggested dying was going to be a more involved game mechanic - I.e., dying (and perhaps destroying the world [this was before the concept of voidouts was announced]) at the right times and places being how you progress - but the delivery man sim with light stealth and gun combat that predicted Covid-era isolation and loneliness was just as novel. The perfect game to herald in the 2020s.
@@augiemdmorado i feel like they were bound because of the tech. Even though the ps4 was extremely capable, it was simply getting old. The next gen hardware may just be enough to support some of the wilder abandoned ideas which we might see in DS2.
One of my favorite directors and one of my favorite actors in one of my favorite game designers' creation ♥
Incredibly atmospheric, especially with this wonderful music
Game’s been getting mixed reviews but that hasn’t killed my hyped. He did say it wouldn’t be a game for everyone.
Been doing some research about Death Stranding.
Death Stranding Definition: Also known as a Cetacean Stranding is when a whale is discovered dead due to becoming beached.
Limbo: The waiting room of the dead, often depicted as an infinite beach. In Christian mythology, it is where unbaptised babies and those who have lived a good life, but never converted to Christianity go after they die.
Dying: In interviews, it has been said the dying in death stranding will instead of being a game over, will actually play a part in the game.
Revelations King James 20:13: And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Daryl's Dog Tags: It has been discovered that on Norman Reedus' dog tags, as seen in the trailer shows equations related to quantum physics and blackholes.
TheZombiesReanimated awesome work man.
yep.. sounds like a Kojima game alright
Guillermo del Toro hides newborn Silent Hill game from the hideous Konami's army of lawyers
Kojima games never fails to keep you thinking about it even when you have completed it huh?
1:27 god i love the ominous music that starts playing here, wish i could hear the full track
ua-cam.com/video/EXzJjhTiwq0/v-deo.html well it`s closest you can get.
@@LPrussia07 Nice find :O Thanks
Enjoy, friend. Also there`s rumor that at The Game Awards 2018 the release date will be announced. Can`t wait for what Kojima got in store for us.
Mads Mikkelsen is always so insanely terrific.
Watching this after playing the game so fun and reading comments lol
I'll stop watching this video one day, but only when we have a new trailer
I watch the trailer at least once a week to remind myself how epic this game's gonna be
i watch it once a day
Konami: Why are we here? Just to suffer?
Kojima: You've had your chance.
remember when we were saying that this was related to metal gear? What times..
I still think it's related to p.t😂 maybe kojima ended what he started in that game
This is synced with the first trailer!
When the baby disappears from hands of the naked guy, it appears in the machine of this guy.
When the naked guy cries, this guy's feet start getting flooded.
They're also both wearing one side of a cuff, indicating a link I believe.
When their backs are turned, they both look further down into the distance. In this trailer, further down, there are those FIVE evil weird soldier things. In the first trailer, further down, there are FIVE weird floating things.
I think the naked guy in the first trailer is linked to the baby doll here as they both have that same scar.
Furthermore, that baby doll bumping into that guy at the end could tell us that the naked guy did indeed advance towards that sea.
So we're seeing teleportations between different dimensions/ life and death/ I have no clue. I love this game already.
My head just exploded outwards
screen based reflections biggest giveaway that this is a real time render not cgi, as the camera up and down the reflection disappears and reeapear
in engine on other words decima enige
Yeah you know that you pre-render in engine right? In engine doesn't mean representative of gameplay or realtime.
FullMetalBiscuit it was specified word by word on 2 occasions that this is indeed in real time and kojima went as far as sayin that the final game will look even better :)
Demy Prod Believe what you want, it won't look that good when it comes out, especially on PlayStation. They always say "Ah look how nice it looks this is real time blah blah blah" and then it looks worse. Take a look at literally any game that has a 'real time' trailer and compare it to the release.
FullMetalBiscuit mgsv did not have a downgrade theres an exemple for you, kojima is very strict on showing trailers and gameplay that will look just like the final product u should know that by now if youve followed his work since mgs1.
Those are some amazing graphics and facial animations there, Koji pushing boundaries again!
Ｒｕｓｈｎｅｒｄ the photorealism here is strong.
It's a CGI
I just finished this part of the game.
And it's 10/10.
this asks more questions than it answers and I'm already nerdin' out
Graphics is unreal man. Kojima said it's running in real time native 4K on PS4 Pro that's insane man.
Himel Islam This man is insane
Uhmm, any other company can and have done that you know? It's a CGI trailer, it's not fucking gameplay graphics.
What are you talking about? This is real time game play graphics runinng in 4k, not CGI. This has already BEEN confirmed. ua-cam.com/video/VV5Fjokx17c/v-deo.html
CGI is CGI, doesn't mean it's not realtime rendered. It looks in-engine real time to me.
Anyone notice the hand signals are the same from the new trailer. New guy has that tracking device like the others so maybe Madds character isn’t a bad guy.
I wish it were so, but I think he might have been infected and turned bad hence the 'goo' on his face? I hope you're right though.
Madds is obviously a bad guy, he always plays evil characters.
It's a shame, because in his native Denmark he has mainly played the good guy - would have been nice that's all.
I mean, Madds said himself he didn't think Kojima's characters were "good" or "evil" as a matter of course.
“The characters are very dualistic in (Kojima’s) games: There is no such thing as a bad guy or a good guy in his games,” Mikkelsen said. “It is all a challenge; you have to go through these characters to achieve certain things. And it’s also a learning curve, and they will be an obstacle for you sometimes, and sometimes they will be a help for you.”
Mikkelsen went on to suggest that the roles of Death Stranding’s characters may shift as the plot unfolds. “(Kojima’s) games are not as black and white as Hollywood is sometimes,” he said. “So there are more nuances of gray in his world. You’ll have to encounter these characters in different ways throughout the game.”
This trailer becomes depressing once you know Cliff's full story.
Hello Mr. Kojima,
To start you are one of my absolute idols. Your story of getting into the video game industry and vision and passion for making triple A games has inspired me since the, "Metal Gear Solid" days. I remember being a child and playing the game for the first time on my step-brothers Sony PS1 and actually having a connection to the game as if I were an actor starring in a movie. I loved that feeling and ever since then I have followed you and your creations as well as your career. Right now I am 24 years old serving the U.S. Military but still aspiring to become a video game designer. I love the idea of bringing a story together from scratch and I've been really good a story telling for some time now enough to make a current project I've been working on since my high school days called, "Utopia". The game is about 9 children being abducted by an unknown entity and put in an environment made by the entity for experimentation on survival. My biggest influences for this game are the psychological horrors from the silent hill series, Metal gear solid for it's child soldier theory, The classic film, "Lord of the Flies", And various Sci-fi films. My question to you Mr. Kojima is what wisdom and advice, from an experienced person in this field such as yourself, can you give me for my project and my future ambitions to becoming a great video game designer in today's video game industry? I look forward to your response if possible and I cannot wait for your next masterpiece, "Death Stranding" to be released.
~One of your fans

4:25 - Look at that smirk! It fills you with chills!
Amazing ass soundtrack paired with the always flawless cinematography that only Kojima could pull off. I'm fucking ready.
Can't believe people still come back to this trailer and writing comments here! I still can't comprehend..damn!
1) new game announced. 2) people finish the game and then re watch the teaser and understand exactly what was shown. Versus watching it the first time and you're like "wtf is this". Its not that hard to understand, comments aren't a kojima game.
@@CrunchyTire easy. It's a compliment.
Seeing this made me think it was going to be a hybrid between an exploration and horror, and technically that's what we got
I think 30% of this game is what Kojima's Silent Hill was supposed to be. Can't wait to see what Kojima and Jordan Peele are working on
I saw DeadMan and Heartman's theory of the beach and how every person can be placed to a unique world. They still dont explain why that tank has guts and tentacles coming out from inside!
I think it's because it was Clifford's beach and it has something to do with him going to hell and back to bring the best of the best soldiers he can ever recruit just to get his BB back.
That place is Hades it represents the global conflicts from the past like World War 1, World War 2 and Vietnam
He's a soldier and if there one thing we know is that war can be hell for soldiers like him. Who know maybe those tentacles are for the soldiers who drowned at sea died fighting.
Because it´s abstract symbolism. You can´t explain it precisely but it makes some kind of sense or at least awakens ideas and emotions when you see it. That´s the point of art - exploring the unknown in an aesthetic manner.
