Originally lauded for inventing the stealth genre, his later games got famous for having convoluted plots, magical realism and challenging artistic statements. Kojima may also be responsible for bringing a lot of the cinematic tools of Hollywood into videogames with his cinematic directing. Kojima has also been accused of being indulgent with time and budget, although his games have always made plenty of money on delivery and been praised for their gameplay and entertainment. He has often half-joked about wanting to break free from the Metal Gear franchise and try other things, and his acrimonious departure from Konami (for being indulgent with time and budget) may be the ripping off of the band-aid that he needed. When he shopped around for a new investor for his new studio, Sony quickly saw an opportunity and basically gave him carte blanche to do whatever he wants. Kojima is a huge fanboy of Hollywood stars and they seem to like him well enough so he is nabbing some great talent for this game. Side note: despite portraying women in a good light most of the time, Kojima sometimes says or does something knuckle-headed about women. Regarding Metal Gear Solid V, he got indignant when fans complained about Quiet's over-sexualized appearance. Recently he referred to Lindsay Wagner's 1970's self as her "perfect" version, which probably doesn't come across well as something you'd say to a 68 year old woman. :that's kojima: OLD TRAILERS: First reveal trailer at E3 2016 (Norman Reedus and the funky fetus): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2nuHEGhwiw Game Awards 2016 trailer (Mads Mikkelsen and Guillermo del Toro): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PS9V12UcTeg Game Awards 2017 trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPL_E-TEtL8 E3 2018 trailer (Lea Seydoux and Lindsay Wagner) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rP3UngLFou4 WHAT WE OFFICIALLY/PROBABLY KNOW SO FAR E3 2018 interview with Hideo Kojima and Lindsay Wagner: Death Stranding will de-emphasize combat, something that helped pitch the idea to Lindsay Wagner who had reservations about appearing in a violent videogame. Kojima says that Lindsay Wagner's character could only be played by the actress, so we can easily assume Tarantino style reference to Wagner's previous body of work (Bionic Woman) Guillermo del Toro's likeness will be appearing in the game, but will not be voiced or mocapped by him. Death Stranding is being built on the Decima Engine, which was developed by Guerilla Studios and most famously used in the very beautiful Horizon Zero Dawn. Already last year the two parties reported that Kojima Studios made improvements to the lighting in Decima. According to Kojima's panel at Playstation Experience 2016, Guerilla just handed him a box with their source code even before they had a contract, which left a big impression on him. Mads Mikkelsen reports being confused when Kojima told him the premise of the game Norman Reedus' character is named Sam Porter Bridges. He works as a Porter for a company called Bridges. There is a dangerous phenomenon called Timefall, which appears to refer to the rain. It appears to cause accelerated aging, as it hits Sam's hand and causes the skin to age, and caused a photograph to deteriorate. Presumably this explains why there are almost no buildings or large plants on the surface, and why they need special Porters to deliver things between human settlements. Lea Seydoux's character works for another company called Fragile Express. She attempts to hire Sam away. Mads Mikkelsen's character appears to resurrect dead World War 2 soldiers to do his bidding. Dying in the game appears to cause a Voidout, which is when you wake up alive again, but naked and in a crater. It appears that every time Sam dies, he gets a new handprint on his body Dying in the game appears to not reset you to your last saved game. Instead the timeline continues and you respawn in a lake-filled crater. The United States of America appears to be replaced by the United Cities of America There are invisible humanoid creatures which appear to be dangerous to humans. They sometimes appear as black shadowy phantoms with a cord coming out of them. The phantoms appear to be hunting humans, but have trouble seeing humans clearly. They appear to bumble around until they hear human noises. Sam covers his mouth when sneaking around them. Lea Seydoux's character says that Sam has a "chiral allergy." She also says that she and he have a condition called the "dooms," which can be measured in "levels." This may or may not refer to their ability to detect the phantoms. Lea Seydoux says she can see them, and Sam says he can sense their proximity, probably exhibited by his goosebumps. Lea Seydoux's outfit has some sort of ferro-fluid spikes. May or may not act like phantom proximity detectors because of their similarity to goosebumps. Sam has a photo of what appears to be an older version of himself, and older Lindsay Wagner and another woman who might be Lea Seydoux Lea Seydoux says that a "crypto-biote a day keeps the timefall away." Crypto-biotes appear to be small pink maggots that float around when Sam wakes up in a water-filled crater. In one of the trailers, Sam is seen vomiting out black crypto-biotes, which turn pink and float upwards in the air. Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 21:47 on May 29, 2019 |

Bit underwhelmed with the new reveal trailer. I'm down with weirdness but I was hoping Del Toro's involvement would reign in the bad dialogue that's all over Kojima's games. The new trailer doesn't inspire hope about that. Gameplay looks... Like MGS. I'm not sure what people were expecting, but it doesn't seem to be shaking up the formula any, aside from the death system. It seems like it'll be pretty linear based on the fact the main character is a courier, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's still an open world game, somehow...? I'm not sure what it's really doing that's special and raises it above MGS5. But I know by now not to trust Kojima game trailers at all. Here's hoping he's holding back the real meat for people to experience fresh in the game.

Nobody, and I mean fucken nobody, makes game quite like Kojima. And I mean that in the best way possible. Even when his ideas fail (and he has failed as many times as he has succeeded) they're still interesting.

The phantoms appear to be hunting humans, but have trouble seeing humans clearly. They appear to bumble around until they hear human noises. Sam covers his mouth when sneaking around them. Apparently they can see/hear humans breathing? That was one of the big moments of an earlier trailer, where Sam was with 3 or 4 coworkers that all got killed by them because they either didn't hold their breath or made too many waves. A lot of emphasis put on stuff like breath, footprints, and debris; stuff that humans leave behind in one way or another. Wouldn't be surprised if the phantomwhatevers look at human breath as toxic and harmful to them, in the same vein as vehicle exhaust.

Yeah that's mostly why I'm interested in this despite not having a very good idea of how it actually plays. It may end up good, it may end up bad, but no matter what happens this game is going to be something.

I like Kojima's games and I even understand why people appreciate the worst ones, but you're really, really setting up a low bar here. I think people are within their rights to expect a game be a little more than "incomprehensible", "interesting", or "something".

I think MGS5 was one of the greatest games ever made, gameplay-wise. I also think it's one of the stupidest games ever made, writing wise, and that's pretty disappointing. I'm really hoping this game does better.

The way they've described online sounds really cool. You never directly see or interact with any other players, but you can find trails they've left in the wilderness and pick up/leave stuff in shared safe houses. That's a great way to keep the loneliness while still creating a sense of connection.

It really seems like it'll be a blend of BotW and MGSV. Since you work for a company, I assume it won't be the total "go wherever you want whenever you want" of BotW. Like in MGSV you'll have a pool of missions/jobs you can choose from. But the jobs will be much more exploration based than in MGSV, with your goal being to find a safe route between cities so you can make the delivery. And as you complete more jobs you'll create bridges between cities which will presumably have some sort of gameplay effect

Is Breath of the Wild being used as a generic term for "open world game"? I think there will be missions, but I hope without the loadout and load screens of MGSV missions.

More like "good open world game", where there's a genuine feeling of exploration and discovery and you aren't just running from mission icon to mission icon ACES CURE PLANES posted:It's a pretty good name, considering the whole theme the game is setting up about staying connected, and having the villains be people specifically in locked away homogeneous groups works towards that. Isn't the Homo in Homo Demons the Homo in Homo Sapiens? They're calling themselves a new race of people, demon men.
