Speculating doesn't matter until we see how the game plays.

It does matter if you have more fun speculating and watching the trailers than playing Kojimbo games.

Somehow I had way more fun with the MGSV trailers than the game itself.

imagine if there's no UI and you have to keep track of shit by looking at your character

>Taking the narration literally

So, Dead Space?

So Dead Space

Maybe for some people, I never liked speculating much because it builds up some wacky expectations.

I'd watch this if it was a movie. Kind of wish it was. Hopefully it won't have too much gameplay so I can just watch a cutscene version on youtube.

Baby's power the shoulder light
Norman can see Ghosts without it
Floating man on truck is Mads
Being Captured puts you in perma limbo

The lightbar on the PS4 controller also displays how much health/time you have left

That's kinda sad, especially when one thinks how much money is being spent on these games.

Kojima

Anyone figure out why that guy was aging super rapidly?
I thought it was related to his baby/fetus thing being crushed, but I'm not sure now.

GENIUS

gold skull 1

Pretentious garbage with no gameplay.

Kojimadrone are the worst.

It's either extraterrestrial, supernatural or Kojimbo is rusing us again. Shit like this can't be handwaved with "nanomachines" anymore.

It's a modern game, it's going to play like shit.
There you go.

>DEEP INSIDE
>THE
>ABANDONED
>CHILD

not really, when you are moving around in videos with the purpose of finding things that sync up, you will always find something.

>he doesn't care

?

The whole beginning was an analogy of getting born as a baby but all babies secretly try to abort themselves before getting birthed because they don't want to be part of this awful world but the invisible force of the mother trying to poop you out (inversion of gravity) and the doctor reaching their hands into the vagina and womb to pull you out is too strong and non of us ever remember this traumatic experience even though we've all been through this and the light that engulfs the scene after the guy gets "eaten" is analagous to the baby getting "shat" into the bright surgery room. the big godzilla guy is there because as a sperm you are very small compared to your mom. the whole thing with reedus carrying the baby in the dream sequence is that he is a metaphor for a sperm and he's suppose to bring life in the form of a baby but when he fails to abort himself in the dream sequence birth analogy he subsequently gets "born" into the real world as a young man with no memories and the potential of bringing about new life with his sperm (equivalent to him being pregnant) and the whole game is about trying to abort yourself before we are born into this shit world. mad mikelsen was chosen by kojima because his handsomeness and evil looking demeanor is the perfect personification of god trying to make you live your life

I just fell in love with that girl, looked her up, and was then broken hearted by the lack of nudes. You've toyed with my heart this day, user.

Why?
They make back their money easily.

way too far fetched

...

>main theme is religious

yeah no

can someone explain the water scene to me? first naked norman falls in the water and he looks at clothed norman, who is at the bottom of the water. we see the throat baby and then clothed norman is in the ground??
are there two normans? is it just a metaphor? an illusion?

>demons
>rapture
>religion

No thanks. Kojima doesn't deal in this type thing anyway, and it's too late to start.

...

Bleach yourself

He keeps changing every time he's shown, at some point he gets young again before growing old again in the next shot

Where is the gameplay?

...

So, Silent Hill Downpour?

what if the funky fetus is the players lives?

DUDE

When Bridges dude gives Norbert the Baby his Ghost Light powers up

The fucking madman

another dimension.

Bloodborne x Children of Men

The trailer seems to have laid out the basics for the plot.

A second big bang of some sort, ayy lmaos (Ludens) come to Earth. The Ludens can reanimate corpses and it's preferential to kill yourself over being turned into one of them. It's bad enough they have to have wandering teams to get rid of corpses before the Ludens can get to them.

Children are now the most valuable thing in the world since reproduction is either extremely difficult or impossible.

The US is split into city-states with separate factions, some supporting the Ludens. Humans can to some extent control the corpses if the Ludens let them.

There will be more later on obviously but that seems to be the gist of it.

the unlucky guy must be scanned singer from low roar

>religion in a kojima game
man, he's just a hack that likes american movies, with the latest trend it will be nothing but nano-sized machines going haywire and cause a not-totally-like zombie apocalypse scenario

it matches

Stupid fucking whore.

wow he reused that same scene wow!

How does this tie in with Norman Reedus having eaten a baby?

>>Children are now the most valuable thing in the world since reproduction is either extremely difficult or impossible.
then you would NOT bring them with you when you're out and about on missions.

>Mads controlled zombie soldiers
>caught soldier immediately starts destroying body
Captured people get turned into drones controlled by the enemy.

Maybe when you defeat enemies you can add them to your team and control them.

Or whenever you die you corpse because part of the enemies troops making them stronger.

Damn nice catch, how the fuck do you faggots even find this stuff?

but they probably either drive the demon alien things away or some weird shit

otherwise you're right, it makes no sense to have them out on a mission

Watch video, faggot. If you sync up this scene, this shit happens This is not random

That sounds rad as fuck and I hope it happens.

>blood looks like glitter
is this just bad blood graphics or intentional glitter?

HOLY SHIT GUYS I FOUND SOMETHING HUGE ABOUT THE DEMONS

Hol up to your butts, I'm preparing a brightened up picture from the 4k trailer to post.

Look at the lyrics and watch the trailer. It describes it perfectly. This is the biggest connection

>nanomachines creating a grey goo scenario
that doesn't seem convoluted enough to be a kojima work

I'm starting to get a 2001/event horizon vibe from this now. Are they space explorers?

Fuck, even worse she has a Chad bf

It's boiling.

>how the fuck do you faggots even find this stuff?
because that shit has been used in other games before mate.

I think that device lets you absorb the baby's life or something. Sam dies, the baby disappears. There's a hand mark appearing on his body (I guess every time you die a new one appears?). When he wakes up he vomits whatever's left of the baby?

Would also be cool to incorporate multiplayer.

Go into PvP. Defeat other players and get their avatar as a troop or drone you control.

dead babby

I took it as it being what blood looks like in this atmosphere. Because it starts sizzling, doesn't it?

how much of an autist do you have to be to look at that guy and see a chad

That's something we'll probably find out later.

I think possibly the Ludens can track newborns or they're somehow omnipresent in some way that makes it dangerous to leave incubators/babies around and their highest chance for survival is to bring them with you.

so dead space

I assumed it was something to do with the blood being on oil-saturated ground. It looks a bit like the way light hits an oil slick on a road.

Not if my shitty internet beats yours

This makes sense. When the demon touches the body it creates smoke.

1: by that point, it isn't. the steaming happens after.
2: boiling blood doesn't turn into glitter

This trailer was so poorly paced and just poorly written in general. The entire script was just felt like a schizo child telling a story "THIS HAPPENED AND THEN THIS AND THEN THIS AND THEN THIS AND THEN THIS AND THEN THIS AND OH YAH THEN THIS HAPPENED!". It seems like Kojima tried to force as much 2deep4u symbolism as he possibly could into every shot. Pro tip Kojima, shoving as much weird shit into every shot as you possibly can is not nuanced or subtle, symbolism should blend in with the narrative and be subtle.

Explain why the ghosts' handprints fill with black goo when imprinting upon something. I thought maybe it was just water creeping up from the sand when they placed their hands, but norman reedus moving around in the first trailer nullifies that idea.

Fuck off retard.

What, and let the Ludens get them? I don't think so.

You first

>t. freshman film studies

it starts sizzling only when the ayylmao steps on it. also: the ground does not look oil-saturated at all though. it's mud, meaning water.

>that doesn't seem convoluted enough to be a kojima work
how about the grey goo is nothing but nanomachines?
then it just developped its own AI and start doing shit
there you go, it's just a regular zombie virus, but the characters can start 20 minutes monologues on how it came to be

Its' not blood. It's the same effect that appears when Mads unleashes the soldiers in the second trailer.

does he have a dog for a hand?

note that the location in america that the "web" emanates from on that emblem is the location of the Pentagon

>Explain why the ghosts' handprints fill with black goo when imprinting upon something.
you have never played/stepped in mud, have you?

when you step in mud, you push away the sand, and dirty water fills in when you lift your foot.

>Dark Souls style invasions but you get their avatar if you win like some kind of necromancer
Sounds cool

WHAT IS IT user

It's Cthulhu.

Boiling substances appear glossy because the bubbling surface refracts light.

Kojima makes freshmen film students seem ground breaking
