Listen I'm an idort and not a hater, but let's be honest the gameplay is gonna be average at best. There's probably gonna be a 5 minutes cutscene for every 15mins of gameplay

I hope this is the game that finally exposes Kojima as a fucking hack now he can't blame Konami for his failings. And I say this as a card carrying MGS and ZOE fanboy, the second he started plastering his own name over shit like he single handedly coded it and spending his budget on Hollywood actors, he lost touch.

I dunno, probably. But I'll buy it since it looks like something different from all the other games we have.

No, it's an AT&T simulator.

It will be the GOTYAY

They created new engine for this and spent lot of money on it. So they will probably want lot of money from it. So they'll probably leave the door opened for a sequel. Considering that Kojima already does vague scenario, this one will probably gave base elements that'll be milked in the next seven games.

>the second he started plastering his own name over shit like he single handedly coded
so since mgs 2 and zoe 1?

ok I get it now

>supernatural post-apocalyptic horror fedex simulator
Sounds good to me.

>They created new engine for this and spent lot of money on it.
No they didn't.

>New Engine
No you retard, they're using Guerillas engine and it shows seeing as they are straight up using what looks like ripped animations and effects from H:ZD. The melee looks incredibly similar to the shitty melee animations in Horizon and the scanning effect looks the exact same but with a color change.

The animations look like MGSV more than anything. Other people thought the same ever since the previous trailer where they showed the character movement.

the fuck is happening here? is she on drugs?

The absolute fucking brainlets on this site. If after six trailers you still can't piece together a loose narrative, you have larger issues. Try not looking at your phone while they're playing. Listen to the words, look at the images. How fucking hard can it be

Neither does Kojima.

tourettes my mom has the same thing

Different as in it lacks gameplay?

It's not that it's not easy to piece together, it's that people are expecting something more to be introduced, just like MGSV, and they will realize just like with V that there isn't anything interesting about the story. Just generic preachy shit just like MGS.

Who cares about the fucking narrative? Where's the gamesplay?

It looks as much like mgsv as possible. It feels like he’s basically remaking that game, but finishing it this time.

Not him, but people have literally been saying they don't know what the game is about both story and gameplay wise on a constant basis.

>MGS

Well, it's definitely not about gameplay.

Same thing, retard. You're either pretending you don't have enough info to know what the gameplay will be like or you're being disingenuous and asking for different gameplay because you just don't like what you've seen. It's pretty fucking obvious at this point how the game will play. Like I said, try keeping your eyes on the screen for more than a few seconds at a time

The fact that white people don't have children is the genocide. Feminism turned white bitches into superficial whores. Hold my beer while I have 5 kids with a conservative ebony goddess.

Different as in it's a low-key pseudo sci-fi story in a surreal setting with horror elements. There is something about the aesthetics I really like. I don't care much about gameplay anymore. If I want good gameplay I'd just go and play old games with good gameplay.

Were this ""game"" made by David Cage or any other guy, you people would be trashing it non-stop but because it's made by le based Kojima all his fans are going "nah bro it's actually a masterpiece with perfect gameplay and story you just don't get it man"

FUCK KOJIMADRONES
and must importantly:
FUCK HIDEOUS HACKJIMA

Attached: 1550997662989.jpg (530x326, 35K)

But we do. there is a plot description on the fucking website now. The world is fucked thanks to some mysterious explosions which resulted in supernatural phenomena and bizarre monsters everywhere and deliveryman Sam is the only one who can save it. The dying president of the US is begging him to. As for why Sam is the man for the job, we don't know but we can only speculate that he has some strange potential to him. We know special people who can see/sense the monsters exist as well as people who appear to be able to command them or otherwise tap into their power and Sam is one of these special people. He can only sense them but it could be a clue as to something more hidden within him. We also know that the Bridge Baby can allow anyone to see the monsters and has some connection to the world they come from.

We have also seen enough gameplay to know what the basics of what we'll being doing are and have been informed that there will be some fashion of base/outpost management as well. We also know that transporting things will be a prevalent objective throughout the game and that stealth should nearly always be your priority over combat because there are significant consequences to killing monsters.

We know enough about the basic plot elements and gameplay to know what the game is. The rest is still being kept under wraps because it would spoil the rest of the fun in finding out the mysteries and weirdness to the world and to leave enough surprises to keep people from being bored when the game actually drops. Sure, there is still plenty of information to know but I'm honestly find with what we do know because the prerelease speculation and discussion is fun and because I can't remember the last time I played a game where I had anything genuinely new and interesting to see for the first time. Most games nowadays give you the full rundown of everything but the plot up front and it really takes away from the excitement of that first playthrough.

If it were made by David Cage it would at least have actual actors instead of Z-listers and capeshit actors.

All this people that are saying that they want to know more before the game releases ruined and are still to this day ruining videogames. Prove me wrong.

kojima is based

Is death stranding made by Hideo or by Kojima?

Don’t bother user you’re talking to brain dead 3rd world shitters, edgy 12 year olds and moronic contrarian shitposters who only decided to attack this game because kojima is popular. Just be glad your IQ is above 70 and you don’t need this shit spelled out for you

yes

What Tom Clancy novels are about a one-man army saving the world from nuclear annihilation fighting genetically-enhanced and super natural soldiers like a guy who summons ravens and carries a minigun, an evil twin, a cyborg ninja, or a man covered in bees?
Is it the simple fact the main mission is fighting terrorists a rip-off from Tom Clancy? Are you going to be that retarded? You might as well say that every single good vs evil story is generic.

kojima literally says at the end of the trailer that he'll show you the real thing soon

No it doesn’t.

Nice projection virgin

Sum of All Fears you fucking moron. All the other shit you mentioned is just the retarded anime shit Jap "creatives" add to make sure they don't get sued, just like Koji Kondo did after realizing some people might notice he ripped off a bass line for Marios underground theme, or when he ripped off an album about plants, or when Kojimas "composer" ripped off an old Russian orchestra piece.

Its mpreg. Norman Reedus having a baby attached to him and we see something like a C-section?

Also might be a dystopian future where there aren't enough women to repopulate so they started planting embryos in men as well.

>All the other shit you mentioned
Ah, I see. So it's exactly like this one Tom Clancy novel except... for all the stuff that clearly isn't. I can do the same for every single story ever: pick out a single element and compare it to something else that came before it and claim the thing as a whole is "generic".
Sum of All Fears is generic because the theme of good vs evil has been repeated for literally thousands of years. Sorry, but you're just another retard.

They really should have gone with an original model for Higgs or just not shown his face. He looks like a pretty boy faggot without the mask. It's a total 180 from how intimidating he previously felt in trailers

Will Higgs-kun be a good guy?

Yes it's exactly like Tom Clancy except for the stupid bullshit that makes no sense in the setting and relies on camp to deflect criticism.

this. Troy Baker looks not even remotely as intimidating as Mads. Mads not even trying while smokin this more badass than this soiboi Troy.

Am I the only one who thinks this game might be comfy as fuck ?
Did you guys really want another generic shooter ?

Yeah instead I'll take another generic game where "stealth" is crawling through grass just like Asscreed, Horizon, The Evil Within, and every other third person game this gen. Don't forget the shitty snap to enemy melee combat too!

Attached: Generic shit.png (1246x623, 1.48M)

Which trailer is this from? I don't remember this.

It's implied in the section where the guys try to zap you and steal your package. It's clear that if the player moves slowly and crouches below the grass, the package men wouldn't have noticed him. The player gets seen in the trailer for the purpose of showing the chase and the threat those guys pose. It's different when you're sneaking around BTs since that relies much less to not at all on their vision. I'm not as negative about it as the guy you're replying to, but it's pretty clear he's correct about his general notion

So anything that deals with modern military stuff = "generic" because it rips off Tom Clancy. But when trying to add new elements to make it distinct "makes no sense", therefore it's invalid or whatever.
You must be very credible to act as an authority, Anonymous.

>relies on camp to deflect criticism
It's not so much that that it's deflecting criticism. It's more that your particular criteria is stiffing and pulled right out of your ass.

By your own logic, even most of the stories you like are generic. Why are you still ignoring this?

valve is really dead holy shit

Honestly I really like the gameplay shown so far, a lot of games ignore traversal as a gameplay mechanic but to see it being a big focus for the player to go from A to B and then having to figure out how to get there through various terrains using whatever they could. Zelda BOTW was fun because they managed to make traversal fun and to get to certain places using your tools was great. Death stranding focusing on traversal as the main gameplay would be interesting compared to other games where we go full on shooting nonstop.

Its plastic, theres pictures of Kojima with it on his Twitter page. Looks pretty low quality.

I bet the whole game is MC hooked up to some VR system moments before his death. Either that, or his whole life was experienced in VR.

That's even worse reasoning, you idiot. You're not actually pointing to events within the games themselves, you're talking about how the creator cannot be inspired by, MUCH LESS use points of reference in his scripts as a means to paint a clear image of what he wants to achieve.
How the fuck are you going to direct a whole team of people and get them on board with your vision, if what you're imagining is 100% original and has never been tried before?

Virtually EVERY creative work or entertainment product is now generic by your own standards, you absolute dipshit. Jesus Christ.

Yeah, there might be something more to it. It looks retarded as an item, it's true, but who knows what the fuck gold actually means in this world

Kojima already said that a while ago. He's unique in that he can't die or something.

OH SHIT IT'S GARY OLDMAN!

Have you even read this thread? Or any thread about this game on this website? You need to stop getting out more.

culture and psychology are an offshoot of neurobiology though it's definitely genetic

You're focusing on Smash's minor issue. The real issue is the gameplay, specifically the combat. It's gonna be fucking dogshit, know why? Because it's trying to be like John Wick western garbage. I hate John Wick. I hate how John Wick looks. I hate how he fights. I hate his movies. I hate how normies jerk off over that trash. Oh the cinematrography is so amazing! Oh the fight scenes are superb! Oh it's soooooooooo stylish! Fuck off, no it isn't. It's boring drab realism taking place at night in fucking nightclubs and dark city streets. It's not uniquely interesting to look at at all, it's basically Death Stranding without the Death or the Stranding, or vampire the masquerade without the vampire or a masquerade. Just some dude killing people in a fucking night club and city streets, but oh, oh, they wear suits! They wear suits, and barely say a word, and try to look badass and cool, and omg the club has red lights, and red lights, and orange lights, oh man, so stylish so stylish put that dickin my mouth joe, get it all in there, get it ALLLL IN THERE!

Even if it was I'd play it. Just a delivery dude in a barren wasteland seems potentially interesting.

In-game, its most likely a equation that has to do with the Homodemons being able to jump between "worlds". Perhaps Reedus' equation necklace has a similar purpose too.

I'm getting some strong impressions this game is gonna be something along the lines of Ico. Mostly in terms of puzzle elements to get from point A to point B with some tools.

Each trek probably changes how you approach it with what you have to carry.

It could be a cult classic or it could be so laughably shit that we have another The Order 1886 on our hands.

>DUDE WHAT IS DEATH STRANDING'S GAMEPLAY WHERE'S THE GAMEPLAY I DON'T SEE ANY GAMEPLAY

How are you people this daft? They already showed plenty of gameplay.

Sam even says it himself, he's a courier. It's a game about making deliveries in a futuristic desolate America and dealing with roadblocks on the way. The rappel, the ladder, the toenail pulling, none of that is scripted events; that's literally the game. It's about avoiding and overcoming environmental hazards, not just enemies.

The part where you get pulled into "hell" is the game's death penalty, this is also where you will face enemies you killed in the real world as a consequence.

I love it. Because there's some line, or scene, or reference made to something else, you end up creating an entire game somehow. From "president of what?" you get the usual generic supernatural babies being used as a detector for otherworldly beings. Incredible.

You expand your criteria for "rip off" more and more with each post and argue yourself into a corner, and you're still going to ignore this point.

It's just a tick. I had it when I was a kid, you should be able to grow out of it. Not sure why she has it.

Yeah man, naming a character the exact same as a character from a movie isn't blatant ripping off, neither is modeling his appearance off of that character, or stealing a song but making it "legally distinct", or stealing another characters design from another movie. Totally not a hack.

You're now throwing everything into the same pot from several games and decades of work so the accusation gains a bit more weight. An attempt was made, I guess.

So Kojima is the composer now? Really, this is getting boring. You going so far to nitpick insignificant things like these isn't impressive, and it doesn't prove your superior taste or intelligence in any way. Just accept other people simply like stuff that you don't.

Think about how much you fetishize white women. Do you think it becomes annoying for them?

Jesus christ I can't imagine being as much of a drone as you are. Kojima is an unoriginal hack and he knows it, otherwise he wouldn't have tried to shut up previous employees who called him a hack faggot, no wonder he's buddying up with Refn seeing as they both share a fragile ego. You're absolutely retarded if you think for example taking LOTR and adding mechs makes it any less of a LOTR ripoff. What's next, are you going to defend him sanctioning "review bootcamps" of MGS4 where he wined and dined press while pleading they don't mention long load times or overly long cutscenes in their reviews?

Yep. It is 100% a walking simulator. There are no enemies, no combat, no vehicles, no menus, no characters, no health bars, no items and no weapons. You literally just walk from one end of the map to the other to deliver a package and then do it all over again. Faggots will try to convince you it's "deep" or it's trying to make a statement on "human connection", but that's all bullshit. It's literally walking and nothing else.

>20 minutes

way too much, give me 5, 10 tops, and I'll be happy, I don't want to know everything.

It seems like a new genre with much more developed exploration + MGSV gameplay. Kojima made shit stories but he has yet to make a game with bad gameplay so I am giving him the benefit of the doubt. He is also using the engine that has the best looking game of this generation yet and this will be a treat. Seems smooth mechanically so far and I hope for unique bosses that made past Kojima games so fun.

It's much simpler than that. It's popular so a minor vocal minority is seeking attention and try to ruin threads and discussion about it. Just like Cyberpunk 77, most people on Yea Forums like it and a small minority keeps spamming maybe it's weather and other garbage.

It all makes sence now

For an open world, 20 minutes really is nothing. Back in 2007, Kojima put out a 15 minute gameplay demo for MGS4. That game didn't even need it, but this one desperately does.

Go back.

>Social Media and Online Video Games are killing the world.
fucking lol what a meme

We meme ourselves

i meme you

It's a meme world we are living in.

>How exactly is taking The Sum Of All Fears and adding faggots who shoot bees out of their face any different than adding mechs to LOTR
But you CAN'T *just add* wacky anime characters to Tom Clancy and make MGS. This is what you've failed to understand all this time, it was a dumb comparison to begin with. MGS has all kinds of over-the-top, light-hearted, weird and even convoluted moments within a modern military setting (and even beyond that, like in MGS1 for example, the concept of nanomachines acting like a virus, and the protag being the one who's killing them without knowing).
Lastly, the entire structure and progression of the story has to adapt to the gameplay. Snake has to backtrack through the base to get a sniper rifle so he can fight Sniper Wolf. Then you have all these individual duels building since the start of the game, finishing off with an evil twin motif.

In your rush to call Kojima a hack, no doubt you're once again going to bring up how this isn't anything new. But the fucking point is that it doesn't lift wholesale from any single work, and it couldn't. The right way to view it is Kojima was inspired by tons of fiction over a lifetime, like what happens with almost every single artist who has ever lived. That's not "generic" by any stretch. You can't simply copy a "scenario" or make a reference to X in a script, then suddenly direct a whole fucking game and write its whole story automatically, and by "chance" becoming one of the most recognizable gaming icons. That's not how any of it fucking works. Your arguments were laughably reductionist from the very start that and I thought you were just shitposting. You're actually just too dense to see it.

if a meme meme's in the meme, was it ever really meme?

At this point, the meme has grown into cancer.

oh no is it terminal?

thank you mr meme

Interesting. Do you have more screenshots like this?

>The setting has to adapt to the gameplay
Then why is light and dark not a feature in the systems? Then why are the enemies braindead and don't notice shit they should outside of one segment? I'll tell you why, because Kojima can't design a game for shit. MGS has stealth mechanics the same way Pacman has stealth mechanics. The story has writing the same way "My Immortal" has writing. Every scene is just a character stating something, Snake responding with the same thing but posed as a question, then exposition or a preachy speech. Kojima can't write for shit. The only thing that convinces retards like you that he isn't just ripping off random shit then compiling it is his incompetence at even ripping shit off effectively. You could hand him the script to 2001 back in 65 and he'd alter it to have HAL explaining his motivations in long form speeches because he cannot do subtlety to save his son who wishes he wasnt the spawn of a retards life.

Ok, but I'm still pre-ordering the game though.

Feel free to do so, I don't give a shit. I'm going to rent it to see if Kojima actually learned a lesson from MGSV actually expanding into actual stealth gameplay beyond "hide behind thing". But I sure as shit ain't buying that garbage, I'll rent it, beat it in 2 days then return it and save 55 dollars.

I love Splinter Cell and Thief, but the fact Metal Gear doesn't revolve around the same systems doesn't make it a bad game or even a worse one. Stop shitposting.

What an unbelievable non-sequitur. Hey, why don't unconscious guards in Thief wake up? Why can't they fight for shit as soon as I step into inch-deep water and can cheese them with pokes? The creators must be HACK FAGGOTS PLAGIARIZERS.

You're by far the pettiest bitch I've ever encountered on this site. You're a genuinely sad person who's extremely fucking bitter. It's astonishing that losers like you throw words like "Kojidrones" around and whatever, but you're the one acting obsessed and all-around acting like a piece of shit. The lack of self-awareness, and being utterly unable to accept differing tastes makes you borderline mentally ill. Maybe fix yourself before you worry this much about the gaming preferences of other people and go into threads you don't like.

>Sjorgen's syndrome
Thanks for the reply, never knew what it's called

>Forces you into direct combat multiple times with no other option.
And? The boss fights are fun. This in itself does not make it a worse game. It does make it less purely focused on stealth though, certainly. I don't fault Metal Gear for having boss fights anymore than I do Splinter Cell for not having them. Not every game needs to play the same.

>I still don't know what this game is about

And it's OK.

"Fuzzy stealth" sucks to me. I really wasn't a fan of stealth after MGS2. I liked it when stealth was
>you're within line of sight
>guard sees you

>you're within line of sight
>but you're slightly obscured by grass
>maybe the guard will see you immediately
>maybe the guard will get suspicious
>maybe the guard won't see anything
>maybe you're wearing the wrong camo

Just play with 0% camo index then.

MGS2 stealth is lacking because it uses fairly short FOV for the guards, they can't even see all the way down a 20 meter room. The game also was infinitely better without a radar. If there was a Subsistence style upgrade for MGS2 it would really be something. In MGS3 the areas are much wider/longer so you can see guards coming at you. In MGS2 its all corridors and rooms meaning going too fast is an alert because you don't have the top down view.

Its amusing seeing black cocks living rent-free in their headspaces

It only really bothers me in the case of MGSV, which weights your visibility based on stance in weird ways. Crouching can let you waltz right up to some dipshit in broad daylight but standing straight up in dusk can get you spotted even if you're across the map. I doubt it's inconsistent in any mechanical sense, but it makes it harder to get a grip on the game's design. It seems more challenging to sneak through than previous games until you get more aggressive about how you move and realize there's a lot more you can get away with.
My biggest issue with MGS2 isn't the sight ranges (I think they work well enough given how dense enemy placement and the level design itself tend to be). But crawling and sound don't have much of a place in the level design compared to MG2 or Ghost Babel. I love MGS2's overall design, but there isn't the same sense of variety in its sneaking as there could have been.

>It seems more challenging to sneak through than previous games until you get more aggressive about how you move and realize there's a lot more you can get away with.
yea that's the main thing I dislike I guess. You feel super vulnerable on the first playthrough, and it's never really clear how lenient the stealth is in each game after 2 until you start messing around for fun.

Wow, how insightful, how did you come to this conclusion?

I was thinking along those lines in the past so I get your point. Would you say the same if the game had linear indoors storyline type of experience? Or if each camp had unique storyline and cutscenes to navigate through?

>linear indoors
MGSV doesn't work very well within those environments. More enclosed and involving bases on par with the Soviet Central Base, the oil refinery, Camp Omega, etc. would have been nice, though.

What? Combat is always better than no combat. DS looks like it is going to punish you for engaging in combat. A survival horror perhaps?

The fact that he used an Apocalyptica song in the trailer killed both the game and Kojima for me, forever. Choosing a band like that oozes of bad taste and lack of self-reflection. He might as well have chosen Disturbed or Sabaton or some other cringecore metal.

What the fuck, man.

Nothing about melodramatic faux-classical fedorametal is kino. Just because the name of the song is fitting doesn't make it a good choice. He should've gone for another random obscure indie band. Would've been hella pretentious, but at least not nearly as embarrassing as babbys first "omg so epic" band.

I'd be fine with that. They have some actual, real and honest energy in their songs, at least. Not just the tired "let's make this sound epic" concept for every song.

Sure, that's why we have daily Smash and anti Sony threads. NintendoGaf is correct.

>faux-classical fedorametal
You are fixating on the band instead of the song. I didn't even know Apocalyptica before that trailer. They play on cellos btw.

Honestly think white women are trash desu senpai

razorfist is right

imagine eating this garbage up lmao

I know they play on cellos. But even if I completely ignore the band, I don't think I would've liked the song. Again, I feel like it's tired and overdone. It's like a cheap copy of the Rohan theme.

Very controversial statement incoming:
The only, ONLY time a classic-metal-fusion worked well was S&M, precisely BECAUSE they didn't try to make things epic by forcing it. They just added more melodical layers to the songs without letting the orchestra take over.

I particularly like that you have specific tools to traverse certain types of terrain. With the ladder, we've seen you can use it to climb up a mountain or cross a gap, and you probably have to pick it up manually. So there's a chance that resource management will be important, as well as using your equipment creatively because item placement doesn't seem at all linear or just another set piece.

Adding to that, cargo visibly weighs on the character other than just by abstract means -- like Demon's Souls having a simple number for the inventory carrying limit --, and that you can lose your shit (be it currency, perhaps even weapons and other equipment, we still don't know for sure) if you're attacked by those enemies in the trailer. It definitely looks refreshing, especially for a AAA game.
