I still don't understand it completely either. yet.

Kojima is a hack and hates his own audience.

>muh sticks and ropes
>muh explosions
>THE BABY

What, havent read the leaks? It's kojimas adaptation on yoshis Island. You have to protect a baby shooting enemies and shit.

Norman "Vore the Fetus" Reedus

OH SHI-

>thumbs up
what will whacky babby do next???

teleport inside your digestive system

Timefall is going to be a formidable plot device for future games, I can see the indie devs creeping in already.

It's a movie.

youtube.com/watch?v=6jFaoLrLzd4

Kojima saw some movies and makes a team of 300 strong slave away to dumb them down into an action game while he goes on constant vacation like a celebrity.

When the game releases and surprise, surprise, it is absolute shit. Fanboys will defend it with "You just don't get it!" just like MGS4, PW, and V

"I'll keep cumming," said the funky fetus within side Norman Reedus.

Mankind discovers reincarnation (hence the baby). Aliens decide to destroy all humans before it gets out of hand.

...

...

Why Norman eat babby?

He was hungry after watching his friends die.

anyone else never play one of Kojima's games? feels good.

The character arc is more important than the context.

You don't need to, or deserve to know why and what's going on. Put that in your pipe and smoke it twice.

> Yfw

Ah, I see, nice, hilariously on the nose with the baby, a literal inner child. I get it.

Viral marketing detected. Fuck off.

It's Kojima's ramblings crossed with PT.

It's an animated movie about inter-dimensional warfare.

Hopefully there's a fun open-world third person shooter on the same disc like MGSV.

>rain makes you age
>only wear hoodies
hmmmmm

Okay so imagine No Man's Sky and make it Japanese.
Thats whats happening right now.

The ayys are Konami execs, the baby is PT and Reedus is Kojima.

OH NO NOT AGAIN

Someone posted a theory on Sup Forums awhile back that was actually pretty good (given the shit we've gotten so far).

Basically went like this:

>World is now taken over by lovecraftian ayy lmaos/demons that take over people's souls and make them "slaves" (previous trailers show human beings being controlled by the black sludge stuff)
>Humans are trying to survive and evade capture by the ayy lmaos; evidently being captured by them is worse than death
>The babies they carry are vessels for their souls (the dude in the trailer kills himself to transfer his soul to the baby before being swallowed by the big ayy lmao)
>The baby gives a thumbs up, just like he did before he flew up into the air and killed himself
>The truck they were in that squished the legs of that one guy was carrying some sort of agent for rapid aging
>Humans probably use this agent to age the babies back to adults after someone

And that's all I remember.

He call his employees(fellows) strands. Death Stranding is literally death fellows.

>after someone
transfers their soul into a baby

The baby is a metaphor for you not leaving your parent's basement in 20 years.

W-What's the matter? To deep f-for ya?

I have never seen anyone try the "you don't get it" argument with 4 or PW

If you need gameplay to understand what's going on, then you don't deserve to know.

It's literally Kojima's adaptation of Inception.

>Demons/Nightmarish creatures now exist within the Real world and can possess you, that's why you need a dreamcatcher
>If you get caught you enter dream state and wake up in a weird, empty, deserted place with no one but yourself until someone pulls you out of dreamstate

open world action game

He doesn't hate but definitely sees himself as "above" his fans so to speak.

Two different realities. When you die, you get sent to the crazy under water world where you have to regain your body. The hand prints are your past selves.

gee gee gee

MGSv+soul reaver

it'll be an ARPG where you equip babies to give you different stats. thumbsup baby give a bonus against death strands.

Here dumbasses.

>man makes bad video games for 10 years
>Man drained capcom coffers with nothing to show for it
>Fired
>Man gets picked up
>Begins doing the exact same thing he did at capcom
>Years pass
>Still has nothing to show for it
>The overpaid hollywood actors don't even understand the plot
>He will drain their money, and again have nothing to show for it

>capcom

He likes his fans, but he has no interest in pandering to fanboys.

the rain is what was causing the rapid aging numbnuts

he explained some gameplay stuff
rain speeds up time
when u die u go to underwater world to power up and then u return to exactly where you died with no progress lost

baby baby baby

So it's impossible to fail? Sounds like a game for the nu gamer.

>The truck they were in that squished the legs of that one guy was carrying some sort of agent for rapid aging
It's the rain that does this. Kojima calls it Timefall or something, it also affects the plants etc. they all rapidly grow and die in seconds when it rains

Kojima spends a shitload of Sony's money and gets hailed a genius no matter he does or doesn't deliver.
The Game.

it's like skyrim with sticks

He said that dying has its repercussions even if it takes you back to the point prior to the death
I hope it affects the story

This, he's a film school reject who just makes his """stories""" as convoluted as possible to make them seem deep to incredibly vapid dudebros and anime fans.

someone post the baby edit with the drunk EA guy

The 3 trailers we've seen contain every cut-scene in the game, the rest of the story will be delivered through cassette tapes.

>an army made up of only the most baby-faced men

>Guuuuh hezahack hehe uuuuuh

Kojima trying his hardest to re-capture MGS2.

PROTIP: It'll never happen.

The baby is our inner selves, we are men only on our outermost shell, at our cores we are just dumb babies, bravo Kojima

waaaaah waaaah baby don't like game so he whine about it wwaah

...

>Game has three chapters.
>Second chapter is just a handful of missions from the first chapter again but with a gimmick thrown in.
>Third chapter is a single cutscene. But it doesn't matter because you're never going to be able to unlock it.
>Fuck you.

It's the video game adaptation of Junior

where was the jumping on the head of mushrooms? Sorry, I don't like stories ruining my games, I just want the same gameplay for 30 years

Im not saying youre wrong bro, but we dont know alot about whats going on in this game im still holding out hope its gonna be an interesting story and a great game, i have faith, i totally get why you dont but im just saying dont call it bad until the game drops

With 90% being a recording of an old Navajo man talking about burrrrds.

A hack tricked another company into giving him more money to pay celebrities to eat food with him.

Kojima insists that everything will make sense when you beat the game
Why would Kojima lie to us?

this trailers need bloodborne and mgs community solve all other brailets GTFO!

darryl from walking dead is pregnant and that's a beautiful thing

Truthfully I was speaking more of his past games being a fucking laughable mess for turbonerds, but yeah I won't shit on Death Stranding just yet.

Kojima cant hack it in the movies so he spins his pretentious trash at gamers instead

He wouldn't; he needs to build cred with hollywood so he can kiss the gaming industry goodbye.

More baby memes pls

In the interview Kojima said that is wasn't correct to compare him to David Lynch because Kojima won't be making up a bunch of bullshit just for the sake of confusing people
This I believe. Kojima makes up a load of nonsensical shit for the purpose of explaining things, making them more clear
It's just that he does a terrible job at it

Kojima would never lie to us dude, remember when we learned Quiet's story and we were all ashamed of our words and deeds

God damn it user two hours later u made me laugh

it only affected the one guy so strongly because he was submerged in it with enormous gaping wounds.

The monsters are multi-dimensional Cthulu/Alien/Gods (think NGE, Kojima is going hard on that shit) and they feed on "life" (either literal life energy, or the soul or life expectancy, etc.) so now Earth is a post-apocalypse like world with only a couple safe heavens (the cities).

There is a survivor group that Norman is a part of and there is an evil group that's just Nerv (i.e they want to hurry the apocalypse and shit 'cuz they think that's humanities fate) and Mads works for them. Del Toro is probably some scientist that knows a cure/secret weapon to deal with the Monster and etc. you know how this goes.

Its an allegory for conception theyre all spematozoids trying to get the baby to the womb

That's too easy.
