If anything, it means the skeleton masks like Higgs's golden one or DieHardman's black one do have thier own abilities own abilities. Higgs used his golden one to summon a bloodborne mud enemy. We can assume DieHardman's mask has its own tricks, same for Sam's when he gets on the moon.

This speculation is literally just an asspull.

If Die Hardman's mask demonstrated an ability I'd say you at least identified a pattern, but so far we can't say that masks do anything special besides Vore Lion Man's

Not that you're WRONG, mind you, but you can't take one example and call it a pattern. You can say that Kojima's writing has patterns to it, which is why I extend the olive branch of "Your idea is stupid but probably right."

I'd imagine if DieHardman turns out to be a bad guy in the end, he'd have something more subtle, like mind control or manipulation. Who the fuck knows, this is Kojiam after all. I expected Skullface to be an important character in mgs 5, yet he was a Saturday morning cartoon villain with a few lines and no meaningful impact.

His position here sort of suggests bad guy

They seem to use gold when preparing dead bodies. In the third trailer it looked like there was some kind of gold mask on the corpse they were transporting, and it came off when the corpse sunk. Like they were trying to prevent it from becoming one of those umbilical ghosts

Now it got me thinking, is Amelie the daughter of President Bridget? They have the same actress, but modeled after her current old appereance and young when she was an actress. I thought they might be the same person, twins or something like that, but maybe she is just her daughter.

inb4 time travel or young Amelie is a Luden/BT in disguise.

I'm thinking one of these options
>She's just the daughter of the president
>She's actually the sister of the president and the president is only old as shit because she got exposed to a very small bit of timefall aging her up very quickly and making her bedridden

they could've easily been MGS characters and it'd still be believable

This is the one thing that's still a complete mystery. I have figured out a decent amount from the trailers but the "ludens" with masks, and the moon I have no idea. They must be immortal or some shit though.

My mistake. I misunderstood because I think a fan put all of these together from multiple sources and cleaned them up.

The rain now ages everything, it kills the grass, but then the BT seems to make it grow again, near the hand prints. It's like they somehow attached cords to all sea animals and drained their life force out. I don't want to fight J-horror sea creature ghosts.

Die-Hardman is Goodluck from Survive who also is the future version of the little disabled nigger Chris

The trailer makes it look like Del Taco's gonna be on screen for a few minutes at most, but this art makes me think otherwise. His glowing bracelet must mean something, along with that baby.

My guess is that he was involved with "covering the world in cable" and somehow it all went to hell, then he got sucked in "hades" or hell and is now mindlessly fighting forever in that dimension. I imagine you get to snap him out of it or finally kill him for good or something.

The popular theory seems to be that he is in Hades, which is a constant war zone. Another one was that he brings an entire war with him wherever he goes due to his past.

The second trailer with the army passing above Deadman seemed like it was happening in the real world. It also seemed like those soldiers had been fighting Beached Things, looking at the black goo and huge guts spilling off the tank.

They were extremely similar.

It looked more like they were a part of the tanks.

Higgs has the same mask DieHardman has but it is covered by the golden skull mask. When he takes off the gold the DieHardman-like black mask remains. My friend used to think DieHard was higgs at first because of the black mask.

Gold is a Conductor for Electricity, hence why Higgs uses a Gold Mask.

Shit always happens.

The part that always kills me is you can see the ditch is only a little deeper than a normal man's height anyways.

watch Hannibal season 1-3 already

shit, Skullface was for like 15 minutes or something. Kojima always overhypes his trailers, then when the game comes out , the characters and the plot are average. Learned my lesson with MGSV.

He's also got golden quantum equations for eyebrows.

Attached: Higgs equation.jpg (720x546, 29K)

It’s supposed to symbolize how mads connects to others; he connects through warfare.

I really liked Skullface's plan though, engineer a parasite to kill all english speakers then sell giant nuke robots to different countries and see if people can get actually along when all they can speak is "the language of violence". Say what you will about Kojima his villains usually have more interesting motivations than the average military story.

Too bad he didn't have any character development. Most of his appearances are just "Hey what's up, look at my evil robot" then runs away. Not even a boss fight because Kojima tried to "trick our expectations",tldr for shit writing.
The vocal parasite plan could've easily been Zero's plan. Zero could've been the main bad guy in V rather than a recording, and the game would only improve.

Of course, I agree. MGSV was the very definition of "good ideas, bad execution".

It must be weird for Troy Baker to see his name right next to those famous actors

I don't think Amelie is going to be alive during the game

Ah yeah it's that one.

The "Bigboss becomes a warlord ,allies with Skullface and kills children" theories from 2013 were much better than the actual plot we got.
Instead we got BitchBoss playing 4d chess, no downfall, no revenge plot line, and a "gotcha Raiden but it's the helicopter medic, also you the player, lol " straight outta reddit .
Kojima's autism combined with his hamburger fetish posts on twitter(rather than worknig on the game) and Konami cutting the budget really fucked 5.

Same, how does he look so fucking cool all the time?

Del Toro only showed up to be scanned, he's being voiced and motion captured by someone else.

>>Sam is true neutral and a doomer
They actually have some kind of extinction sickness called DOOMS

>Tears? Chiral allergy? So, you have DOOMS, like me. What's your level?

the "we're playing as the medic from Ground Zeroes" theory was something everyone except caramel-type retards dismissed as completely non-sensical and it turned out to be the real thing. I've always been a MGS fanboy and even I had to play mental gymnastics to hide my disappointment while playing it.

Well it's not like we knew skull face before he turned bad, do villains usually get character development? He's just a crazy asshole that needs to be stopped, there is no "development" for him he's already completely lost. But we do get backstory between him and zero.

He's not an actor so this is not surprising.

Oh I see thanks for the closer look. Just another black mask.

Yeah, but this means Kojima can be really flexible in how he uses Deadman as opposed to it being guaranteed that he only appears for five minutes if he actually used Del Toro

Ones like Ocelot , Solidus or even Liquid got more screen time and development than Skullface.

In form of a tape recording. You would think the guy that killed most of Bigboss's MSF mates would get some proper screen time and a showdown, rather than "lemme pop every 10 chapters to taunt you, also i hate english, oh and yea we don't get to fight because i get crushed like an owl by my robot, lol bye"

Based on this definition of chiral, I took it to be something to do with the spirits of the dead that are trapped here, coming into contact with a living person (their mirror image) causes an anti-matter void out explosion.

Nope. I'd rather have the "Venom Snake is Gray Fox" then what we got. Those threads were something, like the head transplant theory that people linked with the irl doctor that looked like the greek doctor from TPP's hospital intro.
We now have "death stranding is mgs0" or "death stranding is sillent hills" since there are plenty references to both mgs and PT in all trailers released so far.

The thing I am afraid of is MGSV syndrome of empty open world with nothing to do. It looks empty in all trailers but maybe Kojima will manage to make it atmospheric and engaging somehow. I hope for unique bosses and that the reason why the last 2 MGS games were shit is because he grew tired of the franchise. Kojima never made a game with bad gameplay so I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

This is great idea.

You're right, they were more than cartoon villains.

-There are no quintessential bad guys or villains.
-The Bridge Babies are a connection between the game's characters and the players.
-Troy Baker and Madds' characters are representations of the average gamer boys and gamer girls. They keep plugging in to play some hot action gamer shit. At the same time there's also a call of duty loving gamer boy on the other side that the Bridge Baby connects to so it's like a double mindfuck sundae.
-It's also a reiteration of the running theme Kojiboy had in Metal Gear about hot soldier guys being addicted to the life of cool action, but this time it's gamers, not soldiers and it's like that's ok because we're homoerotic ludens now, we evolve through play and shit, it's fine, we got the human need for conflict in a controlled, virtual environment, it's totally butts bro.
-Norman's character is the new age hipster boy who doesn't play violent video games but instead builds bridges to make deliveries and shit, it's hip and cool I swear.
-You will build bridges with all the characters and shit, like I said there's no real villain.
-Muh IRL 'Murrica is fractured so it's like a cool allegory and shit, right? Cause the game 'Murrica is fractured as well. Damn, that's fuckin' deep nigga wow.
-Still dunno what the fuck the paranormal shit is about as a whole - they may not have any real good philosophical meaning altogether, I mean it's not like I think Kojiguy is the messiah, I don't think he's that smart, he might not have a message behind every fucking thing I don't know nigga stop messaging me on Facebook what the fuck.
-I kinda wish this was a multiplayer game with some weird system where interaction between players is indirect, cause I'm pretty sure any and all themes Kojibaby is trying to get across would work better that way.

>You would think the guy that killed most of Bigboss's MSF mates would get some proper screen time and a showdown,

He did get a showdown, the way his limbs were blown off was fucking brutal. But the game was supposed to portray the pointless, empty endeavor of revenge. After it was done, you got a feeling of "now what, who cares?". He hates English and probably America in general because of Imperialism, his home was destroyed and he was completely stripped of his identity. His family, homeland was destroyed then sold, he was forced to change his language, and even lost his face. The facial feature is just the most obvious sign of that. Considering where he came from it's not surprising why he was that way.

One of these videos is literally taking the "Bridges" logo and PHOTOSHOPPING IT FOR FIVE MINUTES to say "MGS ZERO" being completely serious about it. The rest of the video even has legitimately interesting topics and points, but make themselves look retarded in the first five minutes.

Ye, thank you for your effort. But hmm, that does shed light on Cliff’s and Sam’s relationship, as Snake-Man is hypothesized to be Raiden if he was apart of the BB corps, and since both Cliff and Sam seem to be similar to Raiden, that seems to imply that Cliff is a “failed”/proto-version of Sam of some sort

That was, by far, by favorite time on this website. The /mgg/ were hilarious and exciting and fun

rumors are that Kojima offered Hideo as a human sacrifice in the split with Konami. That was one of their stipulations for letting him use the "Kojima Production" moniker.

A satanic ritual was had, he was sacrificed and murdered while executives danced on flesh. Now that Kojima is all on his own, don't expect a good video game. Kojima having taken reign the past decade, with Hideo only being allowed minimal input (I got more or less confirmed word that Hideo was the sole director behind Ground Zeroes) you know what you're in for, that except the glimmers of good sprinkled in there.

what-if.xkcd.com/157/
It's the other way around but it shows the practical problems with this idea.

My original theory was that Bridges created portal technology and it changed everything for humanity. Free access to anything anywhere at just about any time and all the resources the portals can reach like on the moon and however else far it can go. Then they go too far, too many portals up at once or try portaling into a place they shouldn't like some other dimension or the afterlife itself and CATACLYSM and all that good stuff. That's why they only portal items to Sam and he has to walk everywhere, it's become too dangerous for living beings to use it and only crazy/reckless people like Higgs still use it.

Then I read the origin for the Kojima studios video that Kojima gave.

A new theory is that none of it is real. Humanity is gone because its reached one of the real-life theories of our future and why we don't see aliens anywhere. There's simply no point in going out into space, we have full immersion VR that is hooked right to our brains and can generate anything real+anything we could imagine making it essentially better than real life. Perfect wish fulfillment. Their landscape was a sort of neutral chatroom where people could "turn off" everything more or less and just talk to each other. It's fallen to ruin because everyone has simply become immersed in their own wish fulfilled fantasied and no longer care about other real human beings.

Sam is part of a group of people that still think that there is value in reality even if it is ugly and not as satisfying as the VR worlds. This is also why you can't die in the game, because you're just being knocked around in the VR public space.

Bridge babies might be new connections, as in real newborns that have been hooked up to the VR as it's all done automatically now in their society. Something about how they're handled within the system lets Sam and others exploit certain programmed loopholes when having them around.

This would all fit with the idea of humanity needing to reconnect with each other.

Cont.

Basically The Matrix only we put ourselves here on purpose and some of us are regretting it. Perhaps the system is so automated that nobody can actually ever leave it. Basic AI and machines run everything in real life and nobody is there to ever oversee it or anything. We're just all in our pods. Nobody ever experiences the real world except babies for brief moments.

If this isn't the case, I still say this deserves its own story. Though I think it might be hard to sell people on the idea of being dissatisfied with utopia essentially.

I guess even if we reach perfect wish fulfillment with VR you would always have "It's not real" in the back of your mind nagging at you. Maybe some people will be able to forget. For others that growing nagging sensation would grow stronger until you can't stand it anymore.

That is not how a c-section scar looks like.

Maybe it's like the Mask in Daily lives of high school boys, where thd mask itself id sentient and dimply influences many different people

Why do developers keep falling for this meme guy?

do you guys think junji ito is on the team?
I mean like since Kojima had complete control I dont see why he woudnt hire him for the game

Fuck you. I lost my shit.

Probably with mouth desu

i really hope it is a horror focused game

I really hope the world is not as dead and barren as MGSV's was, I'm getting the vibe that it might be
I remember people talking about how MGSV would be like MGS4's Chapter 2 on a wider scale where you could get involved in and influence conflicts going on, yet there was fucking nothing to do in it in the end

It was how this video came to be according to Kojima

youtube.com/watch?v=atqBhyqq6xE

Not sure what to google to find what he said again, but Kojima simply said he wanted "An astronaut exploring a digital landscape"

It'll be part of the Depression Cinematic Universe, linking Birth By Sleep, Rick and Morty, Bojack Horseman, and Puella Magi Madoka Magica

OP is some kind of thread making savant, because I was here since last night and all threads before this one were flooded with endless shit, as if they were trying to prevent discussion before it happened.

Luchador

High art.

I get that feeling sometimes too, but usually it's prompted by others, not by me.

Plus if my "virtual life" sucks so much, and I came here because the real world was bad, I can only imagine how crap the "real world" is.

With all these anti-escapist works, the connecting "strand" is that there's some terrible cost or mistake made in living in the ideal world.

Marche is derided for Final Fantasy Tactics, but even he had justification in that the crystals were up to no good.

So I dunno. Sometimes it's a call to face reality, but sometimes you're Craig or Walker and you have to let the plot play out no matter how much the game screams at you that it's your fault

It does make sense that the world will be more on the dead side due to the setting, but things will probably get interesting whenever it rains due to now having to deal with BTs in the open world.

Working with Nu-ghty Dog made him a primadonna anyway, he probably thinks to be among equals.

Pendragon had a novel based around this concept, a VR society where real world went to shit because everyone got the perfect day all day, delivered to them in a convincing manner.

Pendragon was a suburb boy so his perfect day was like going to soccer, winning, and then having his mom and friends come over and eat the best pizza ever.

Emphasizing the futility of connection when the ground we're walking on isn't connected in the first place

Go buy a ps4

I bet Kojima would have hired Ryan Gosling for the role of Higgs if Ryan hadn't been busy with other stuff.

Maybe to emphasize that by connecting with someone, we are still building a wall around ourselves?

>kojima spoiled the ending of death stranding with his companies logo

Dude is a goddamn madman. Sam is gonna become a luden and go to the moon.

If I were Kojima I'd make works on other consoles be "connected" to Death Stranding. I guess if I were going for true kino I'd have the exclusives all connected to each other, but I haven't heard of many big name Switch exclusives.

So, is there going to be a WW1 section AND a WW2 section or were the WW2 guys and the tank in the Del Toro trailer replaced by the WW1 section we see in the Path trailer?

Attached: 1512758385860.png (816x1448, 814K)

Considering that all of this design can change at any time, Mads is seen in modern warfighter gear commanding skeleton troops in WW1 and WW2 gear. I think Hades is more generally just constant warfare regardless of time or space but maybe "leveling up" and advancing in Hades earns you more modern equipment. Mads is also seen naked in Hades so maybe he had just "spawned" and didn't have gear yet.

You mean a matrioshka brain around the sun? I don't know. It would take away all the tension imo. Plus unless we traverse both worlds (the real one and the plugged in one) then sam can actually die and not just "not die" like you're saying. That would only apply to the VR world
It's still a pretty neat concept, but after seeing so many formulas that point towards time travel, black holes and whatnot I'd rather stick to something like this

It'll probably all be the same. Madds wears a modern day uniform in that del toro trailer, and I think the skeleton soldiers he summoned in that trailer were also modern day

why are you pretending a boomer with eyeliner looks cool?

I don’t think you can tie that world up to being specific wars. It is simply a hell where there is war forever.

All the skeleton soldiers in the Del Toro trailer wore WW2 gear, so much that they had insignias from a WW2 US Army unit on their uniforms. If I remember correctly the tank was a Wolverine, which was a WW2 US Tank Hunter.

well yes it was a M10 Wolverine.
and it fucking was spot-on in all its details, from the correct 76mm gun to the pintle-mounted m2hb
fucking Kojima has a massive hard-on for details and I fucking love him for that

Everyone misses /mgg/
Personally I still wish it were around on /vg/
I try to make them again from time to time but they always die without the hype of new games. Maybe a kojima general would be good?

Why is the moon such a big deal?

The Master of Masters is fixated on the moon, Aqua from Konosuba is obsessed with the moon, everyone in Tsukihime fixates on the moon, people in Touhou all agree that our best bet is to blow up the moon

It's just a big rock that reflects light.

With all the shit Kojima likes to point at in the real world, I do see maybe some super corporations abandoning Earth being a plot point and the Moon was the first priority when the Death Stranding happened. Rather than isolate yourself in a closed city for fear of BTs and the rain

He's talking about our world. Look outside, man.

They also seem to imply that Bridge Babies have a connection to the other world and maybe the “telephone” in that other world are those dolls?

it's a Mark VI, it has MG sponsons behind the main guns

by the way, it only existed as a prototype

Pre-Kojima-game-release threads are max comfy entertainment. I learned from MGSV, though. While I enjoy the ride and what fascinating theories people can conjure with what we have I feel like it will be underwhelmingly flat in comparion. I want the game to never release, only new cryptic trailers that raise more questions than they answer but with cool aesthetics and great atmospheric songs. The trailers are still the best thing about MGSV by a mile.

You can't see the Great Wall of China from space period, that was always a stupid myth. It's the equivalent of saying you can see your car from space, you can't.

The only way to see it from space is if you use equipment which the myth isn't referring to.

The Boss's c-section scar isn't exactly textbook either.

The mission before you go to the moon you unlock a Ladder Accelerator (tm) that rapidly propels you up ladders.

And it is completely irrelevant to the discussion.

Holy shit. Cliff pointing to signal his soldiers and Higgs pointing tp summon lightning sync up, and the shots of Sam gazing out at those figures in the sky are too perfectly synced

>tfw you get to the moon in a space elevator full of BTs

Yeah, just jump onto them.
