"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
I enjoy the fact that we know the game has both melee and gunplay combat based on very brief snippets and the release is less than three months away and were still just seeing piss and ladders and his DVD collection

Kojima's trolling is god-tier

I hope the DLC adds making GBS threads. Maybe a little camping shovel (D-Shovel) to dig a little hole to poo poo in.

I'm all in for the Kojima weirdness because either way this game is gonna be a CLUSTERFUCK of it and at the very least it'll be a very interesting product. Can't wait to read the numerous thinkpieces either huffing his farts or breaking down how unwoke he is. Definite lols inbound

I mean, I sort of don't want to know, but I'm assuming that was Kojima's way of not-sarcastically portraying Geoff Keighley by having his character say the sort of stuff that I imagine Geoff himself has maybe said to Kojima? I actually haven't seen many interactions between the two that weren't like, the Game Awards things, but one of which Geoff says the most awkward thing I've maybe ever heard to Kojima, who's sitting down and the camera cuts to show his awkward face, and I don't remember what it was exactly but from the stage, he dramatically introduces Kojima and says how they're really, actually friends, ~BURNS~ Konami, and gives him the lifetime achievement award for contribution to Art. But the way he's talking makes it seem like he personally worked so hard to make his appearance happen, like he had to go to the CEO of Konami's office himself, and rescue him from the closet they've got him locked up in. And the one where he couldn't make it because he was being held hostage by Konami or whatever, Geoff says "uhm" every other word and is looking at the floor explaining why he couldn't make it to pick up the award he wouldn't receive until the following year. But I just can't tell, because Keighley says "I'm in the game!" and bless him, because you can tell that that's all he wanted in this lifetime, but at the same time is just the weirdest dude ever and sometimes asks fairly "hard" questions, at least compared to most other game journalists, but then isn't afraid to shill for Schick by letting them have their Hydrobot guy show up to the VGA's and of course the Doritos and Mountain Dew thing.

There will definitely be a trophy for peeing a lot, it's going to be like:

Different endings depending on where you did or did not urinate. If there is a time travel element in this game, will peeing in the past change the future?

Climax of the game requires running away from the bad guy. If you peed in the correct spot, the bad guy will trip on a mushroom and be slowed down just enough for you to escape

One day I found out that my urine was acting like a powerful foaming agent.
The online component will consist of players urinating on each other from opposite sides of parallel universes. Players on our side will be forging connections across the United Cities of America via enormous trails of urine, containing the essential elements of humanity's life-code and the one thing we all share in common: our DNA. These long paths of urine, or Strands, serve to claim territory and create barriers that inhibit players from the alternate universe (BTs) from crossing over. Like Tron but with urine instead of futuristic motorcycles with lasers for exhaust.

Meanwhile, players in the hosed up universe will be pissing all over our pee strands with their bizarro pee strands, thereby breaking the connection of our essential life fluids and strengthening their own. Enough pissing and they may break through into our universe long enough to urinate all over someone. Nobody really dies in this game, they just get peed on. It's a new type of experience unseen before in gaming.

Hmm. That protective suit is not designed for harsh environmental conditions as it is still in an experimental stage. Perhaps rain or submerging it in water would be enough to cause a malfunction.

So you are saying I should pee on him.

If players can use each other's ladders and poo poo as part of these "strands" or whatever, I'm going to pee on the top few rungs of every ladder I find. This way, they'll have to touch my pee with their hands.

quote:

Keighley specifically mentioned the mushroom portion of the Gamescom demo. You know, when Norman Reedus’ character Sam peed on it? Kojima mentioned during the press conference that if multiple players pee in the same spot, on the same mushroom, something will happen.

Keighley says this concept is the thing to focus on for the game’s online portions. “You got to take that concept and think about how that applies to everything you do in the game, in this connected world and connecting people.”

After credits stinger is the camera slowly zooming in to a close up of the bay capsule and we see the baby has an eyepatch. A disbelieving Norman Reedus softly says. "B.B.....B.B....Big Boss...." hard cut to black.

at some point before the game's events a Bad Thing happened that somehow smashed together the real world and the afterlife, which resulted in such fun phenomena as the "timefall" (raindrops are now literally full of time, which results in rapid aging of anything that gets caught in the rain without proper protection), the BT's or "Beached Things" (refugees/phantoms from the afterlife that act aggressively towards anyone in our world and can't be detected without extremely specialized equipment), and predicaments like those for Heartman (who's routinely yanked into the afterlife and back) or Mama (her baby was somehow born into the other side, resulting in her being literally tied down by its umbilical cord if she wants it to go on living). people caught by the BT's are dragged down to the other side and generate massive explosions, which might be related to the theory of relativity in some vague way. thanks to all this stuff, the world is in pieces, humanity's hanging on by a thread, and civilization has broken down. several courier groups such as BRIDGES and FRAGILE exist to maintain some semblance of connection and cooperation between the isolated outposts of mankind, while terrorist groups like Homo Demens are gleefully trying to cut everyone off from each other for good

it's basic speculative fiction with kojima's usual socio-political schtick tacked on, it's only been confusing because we've been getting information drip-fed to us and most of the imagery involved is unconventionally weird

in 2033 vr is everywhere and man discovers by combining it with dark matter they can live forver. but the catch is they have to die!! 2044 is the first "death stranding" in the chiral network and causes a huge explosion, more explosions ensue in the following months and years. 2055 america is finished and norman reedus rides off with a fetus and pees out his dingus

The fact that they refer to a "chrial network" and "chiral allergy" may have something to do with the worlds being mirrors, maybe? Chirality is a real thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirality_(chemistry)

Mirror worlds are also a thing in kojimas other game, you may have heard of it, silent hill. Originally, kojima and Reedus were making a new silent hill game for Konami so it makes total sense DS has a little bit of that games DNA in it.
