Hideo Kojima gave the world a nice little gift during the The Game Awards ceremony. Finally a follow up to his weeeeeeeeird independent debut, including a part played by one of Scandinavia's best actors…

So many clues. What do they all mean?

(I wish I could add video tags easily on mobile but you're probably better off going to YouTube to watch it full screen anyway)

Why thank you my good man. It appears that the chubby guy at the start of the trailer may be Guillermo Del Toro.

Holy hell this game has intrigued me after this video.

I'm lazy, so here's a copy paste of my reply elsewhere.

I don't even really care what engine it is running, who's in it, when it is released, or what the game is even about - i'm just enjoying the heck out of these trailers! Love the music in the latest one too, want to buy but it's probably made just for the game. :(

Hideo really needs to make a movie - Metal Gear Solid games are pretty much one big one anyway...

Weird game is weird:

Gist of the above story: play the old E3 trailer and the new trailer side by side.

This is the same thing I was just thinking, and have thought before. Was already going to post the same thing!

Looks really cool. So it's a PS4 exclusive that is potentially temporary?

I'd say there is next to zero chance that this will appear anywhere outside of the Sony platform. Kojima Productions is using the Decima game engine, which was built by Guerilla Games for their upcoming Horizon Zero Dawn, another PS4 exclusive. Guerilla and Kojima are entering into a resource sharing agreement, where Kojima gets to use the engine in exchange for Kojima opening a new studio alongside Guerilla, which will focus on developing and expanding on the engine's features. Guerilla even reportedly entrusted a copy of the source code to Hideo Kojima himself even before a contract was signed.

And furthermore the Decima engine was built from the ground-up solely to take advantage of the PS4's power, including the PS4 Pro. It's hands down the best solution available to Kojima Productions, considering they essentially lost all the work they did on the Fox engine after the great Konami shamozzle of 2015.

Another trailer for Death Stranding came out today. I can't even explain this at all.

I'm seeing an amazing, unique, sci-fi world... and I love that I want to know more.

If it was a movie, I'd want to watch it.

But... what is the game?

Yeah, I've probably put 100+ hours into MGSV and I still don't know what the story is about. But, it's a great game.



:lol: Isn't it ironic

He's trying to create this epic story... but, it's so convoluted that no one cares.
Tons of people still buy the game though, because it's sooooo good. :lol:

rinse. repeat

There’s also the whole savant aspect to Kojima’s work. Something about his storytelling is fucking crazy good. Even a short thing like PT is acclaimed.

It looks pretty cool.

But I still have no idea what's happening.

At least there's some game play. Looks a bit tomb raiderish, but more open world. I can dig it.

Classic Kojima. Trust him to include a lingering shot of Lea Seydoux’s extremely tight bottom right there in the opening minutes of the game.

As for the game: it’s a unique story so far (I’m about 8 hours into it) and it’s outstanding on a technology level. It’s beautiful.

But it’s drab, and the gameplay is questionable. It’ll be one for patient people, I think.

I’ll keep at it, hopefully it picks up and gets me hooked. Hopefully.

Played about the first 90 minutes, which was about 20-30 minutes of gameplay :lol:. Very intrigued. But ever since LOST, I'm pessimistic about any kind of stuff like this having a payoff in the end, and it's mostly been the case since then.

I plan on spending a lot of time with it this week though.

I'm trying to smash as much of it as I can before Jedi Fallen Order comes out :lol:

I was frustrated with it when I wrote that post two days ago, but I found myself wanting to dive into it when I wasn't playing. Two post-midnight sessions have happened since then!

I'm up to chapter 3. New systems are being introduced at a casual pace all the time, which is nice. It's not barraging me with constant tutorials like a Ubisoft game.
