I've somehow managed to watch absolutely nothing related to this game except the very first trailer all those years ago. Looking forward to playing some sort of video game next Friday.

I read somewhere that once George Lucas became famous, wealthy, and powerful enough, there was nobody left around him to tell him no to any of his terrible ideas. I have a feeling that Kojima has reached that level.

Can't wait! Certain games really hype me up, but they are so far between. Kojima's games consistently do so, and I think it's because they're generally unpredictable, have rad aesthetics, great music and interesting gameplay. I remember as a younger dude looking almost unhealthily forward to some games, and I feel a tinge of that very feeling after that trailer. I have full confidence that I'll like it, from what I can gather. That's rare.

Unintentionally did it anyways! :v: It turned out in PT, that your character is just an invisible camera with a ghost model attached to it the entire time, and when its time for a scare the camera just turns around to view the ghost model. It's actually a really fascinating system that works even if it feels like its hacked together.

lots of games are developed this way, they're all just a series of elaborate tricks and illusions really.

While Kojima is awesome, gotta give some credits to Yoji Shinkawa too. Without him it wouldn't be the same (this game and the metal gear ones).

What exactly does/did Shinkawa contribute to DS and MGS before? I know he's done concept art for them but I'm assuming there's more to it then that?

Well, since he does the concept art he's influencing the game visual in some way. (I have no idea, but I imagine Kojima saying some crazy stuff then Shinkawa goes "brb gotta draw some stuff" then they give it to art people working on the game)

Isn’t Shinkawa the Art Director on most of Kojima’s games? His contributions go beyond concept art sketches. I imagine he’s at least equally responsible for the aesthetics and color palette of Kojima’s games.

he's been the art director for all of kojima's projects since metal gear solid at least.

In addition to art, Shinkawa also does the mech (robots and gadgets) designs for most of Kojima's stuff.

Unused Shinkawa design for an adult Chico. It gives me more heebie jeebies than anything in the entire MGS canon.

There wasn’t much explanation but the fan theory is that he was supposed to fill the Cyborg Ninja role in MGSV, was a continuation of the cycle of violence and that his face was supposed to be reminiscent of a Japanese goblin.

Between his “sword” being a machete and his other weapons, he really has a serial killer/Jason/Michael Myers thing going on

Slasher films rose to their greatest prominence during the 80s. There's no way this wasn't the intention on this design.

Shinkawa is more or less responsible for all the character and mech designs in the entire series.

I love how Shinkawa's art is so iconic that he can make anything look cool.

Including that Left Alive game no one apparently liked.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

The midgame twist is when you make a delivery to an isolated town in Western Pennsylvania and it turns out that Kojima actually still works for Konami and all the drama of the last five years has been the world's greatest marketing stunt.

I did think of Silent Hill 2 there, great stuff. It also is a trope you see a lot in Japan especially, that heartstring tugging thing where your love interest has to go through time or turn into starlight or whatever. Not that I think it'll be quite like that here, but it's always a classic bit of imagery and emotion to play around with. Definitely ominous here. I also get a bit of The Boss from MGS3 in the vibe. Being you're on a mission for her or something like that.

BB is most definitely a metaphor for big boss and the whole plot is clearly an allegory for the development of MGSV.

I was just cracking the obvious joke and literally only remembered just now that this whole project did, in fact, start as a Silent Hill game.
