I don't know, but I am sure somebody is producing a 5 hour long video about how this proves the game is really MGS6 or something as we speak.

I don't think it's multiplayer. Might be companion app and in-game system that has to do with your friends live stats or something

I'm expecting 'Social Strand System' to be some sort of gimmicky name to contextualise the multiplayer aspect of Death Stranding.

Who knows for Strand Game.

I love it when Kojima makes up gaming terms. Nothing will ever beat transfarring though.

It definitely means multiplayer. He's been describing the game works like something similar to Dark Souls' invasion system since it was announced.

Maybe this is an early 2020 game and there'll be a blowout at E3 and TGS this year. Companion app, spin-off mobile game, maybe even AR shit like Pokemon GO. Kojima is crazy the possibilities are endless!!!!

I am very interested to see whatever bizarre and unique "social features" Kojima has cooked up for this game.

It will be a companion app where you can buy and sell boxes, or offer your services to move them for money.

I totally expect to be given a call in the middle of the night, told to put on the AR glasses that somehow magically appears on my nightstand, form a dream hunter group with my friends' friends on facebook, trying to emotionally bound with demons in the streets with my party & write a thesis on existentialism on my new kojimabook network to see the real ending.

Death Standing is directly tied to Tencent's Social Credit system... Confirmed! The game is going to be all about walking around and censoring any mention of Winnie the Pooh from Chinese Internet. Invisible enemies will be anti-CCP delinquents. You will also deliver necessities to re-education camps. The game will get positive review bombs on Steam..

I remember reading somewhere the game will require "social media integration" to advance certain areas, kinda like MGSV's nuclear disarmament mechanic?

Should be interesting, can't knock Kojima for trying new stuff.

You and 99 other couriers go in, all of you have a parcel to deliver and whoever is first to deliver their parcel wins.

We call it the Social Strand System.

Edit- God dammit

So SSS, Solid Snake Simulation, Selection for Societal Sanity and now Social Strand System. Kojima likes the SSS.
