Death Stranding: A Hideo Kojima Game Strand

MGSV was probably my second favorite game of the entire series, I'm super looking forward to this, looks like it'll hit pretty similar tonally. Might fuck around and rewatch all the trailers today
I'm fully expecting Death Stranding to basically be MGSV game mechanics with an even crazier story and setting. Which I'm all in for as it was one of the best playing games this gen.
Indeed. Which fans would that be then? I am sure most would prefer to see more of the game or get more info than anything else.

People in this thread said a demo might be released. Which I really hope that's the case.
The less we see of the game, the better. Remember the MGS5 trailers? We knew basically everything about the game pre-release, nothing was left to surprise.
How cool would it have been to see this for the first time in game, rather than knowing about it 2+ years before you even play it

I don't think the problem with MGSV was the trailers; I think it was the 30-plus minute demonstrations. Kojima's always shown off a ton in his trailers, going as far back as the original MGS. He has rarely ever shown long stretches of gameplay. MGSV was the exception, and I think the final product suffered for it. He even hinted at this in a recent interview. I don't mind not seeing extensive gameplay sessions, but I would absolutely like to learn a little more about the game. A lot of people would. I think plenty of us get that Kojima ain't gonna make a walking sim. But plenty don't. The marketing needs to try targeting those people as well, which is why passing on any opportunity to grab people's attention strikes me more as harmful than helpful.
Two things I wanna mention here.
First, let's remember the MGS 2 trailer, which showed us a gameplay scene, in which Snake was running in the ship, with water flooding in. This part was removed in the final version of the game, and the reason was stated by Kojima as something like "that scene had no gameplay and it wasn't fun, so I removed it."
A scene that beautiful, removed just because it was Snake running towards an end point, with no challenges or gameplay, and he would die if the player had stopped.
But then, we saw Kojima having a scene in his latest game, maybe around 10 minutes, of Snake and Skullface talking, with the player being forced to watch it.
Then again, I have to mention that The Phantom Pain is gameplay-wise so perfect in my view, that no games can top it in its own genre.
So, the question here is that, is Kojima still the same guy who removed a cool looking and finished scene in his game, because it had no gameplay, or is he the guy who forced us to watch 10 minutes of the villain talking about things we didn't want to listen?
One thing I'm certain of, is Kojima's dedication to gameplay.
His games, not including The Phantom Pain, has been like this: fantastic gameplay and total control in the player's hand followed by a long and amazingly directed cinematic.
Kojima tried to blend these two with the Phantom Pain; the gameplay, even better than what anyone expected, the cinematic part, while having amazing camera work, not what the fans of those long cinemtaics expected.
I believe with Death Stranding, we're gonna see new gameplay ideas introduced, as Kojima has been doing with each game he's made, and cinematic-wise, it's gonna be an evolution of what The Phantom Pain was, and towards something more coherent and akin to modern cinema.

More merchandise on sale at TGS 2018!

Fragile Express is the sickest logo of all time, I'm getting me a shirt! Also, remember DS' absence during E3 2017? Kojima provided the "Star" BRIDGES logo as a "clue," and now heading into TGS, we're starting to see it appear more and more. I wonder if any info on its origin or meaning will come from TGS, PGW, or TGA?
I wish they'd make android cases.
Hope they go up on the site soon.

Ryan Gosling in Death Stranding? A tweet Kojima tweeted from 2013 foreshadowing Death Stranding during conceptual stages?

I wonder how much of that idea is still in Death Stranding and if Gosling was going to be playing Mads's part or maybe even the role Norman got.

- Death Stranding (SIE) – Trailer
At this rate,Hollywood's biggest blockbusters won't have such an expensive cast as Death Stranding lol
Hope so! The message from Koji Pro makes me wonder if there will be any new footage but we are gonna get a fun show at the very least between this, TGS stage event, and Conan!

Those emojis though from the other trailers.
Does anyone know who the woman in the picture is?

Why tease "Sam Throws Explo..."
Edit:
Don't want to get anyone's hopes up, but interesting bit from that TGS preview article.

Im just not feeling this so far. Feels kinda pretentious with the way it's being presented and revealed so far. We'll see if it delivers

Why meet with Mads and Lea days before TGS 2018?
People have been speculating that Lea looks like Lisa from PT.
http://silenthill.wikia.com/wiki/Lisa_(P.T.)
TGS goes from the 20th to the 23rd, right?
But it is pretty interesting. Wonder if they're gonna do a BTS.

The weirdness is cool, but I'm just not sure where it's going. Plus I feel like Kojima might have a big head about himself and the way he's using real stars etc and what we've seen makes it look more like a movie. I worry he's gonna go too up his ass with it haha. I mean I loved most of the mgs games and like his cinematic style. Im just not sure about this thing. Id like to be proven wrong and the game be focused on interesting gameplay mechanics and cool cutscenes.
Where did you read those speculations? Can you give me a link please?
I think it's pretty obvious that Guillermo del Toro took Gosling's part in the end.
the way you people on this forum talk yourselves into disliking games before they come out is never not amusing lol
No. When the baby is exposed to timefall it ages into Gosling.
I have no opinion on the actual game cause I have no idea what the games gonna be like. Im completely open to it being good
personally the hype has hit me with all the mysterious and progressive type of this supernatural setting/story. If it bombs,it's gonna be like biggest dissapointment in gaming,but there are low chances for that.
I think Kojima is onto something unique and of pretty high quality here....and behind all these impressive and mysterious trailers,there's something of substance to be found but we haven't been shown just yet

Don't know if this is a good theory or not, but this will do for now I suppose.
Also the photograph in the latest trailer showing Sam, Wagner, and Lea in the Oval Office. The mark on the photo also makes me question if that's Lisa or not.
Hopefully she has good clothes this time around! Lea's character design, is excellent at least.
IIRC she's a rich brat who's said some weird racist shit in the past. I think she told a story to an audience once about sitting on a bus next to an African woman who "smelled like chicken".
