Kojima would like you to go into Death Stranding blind, TGS footage is for people that aren't convinced

I'll be watching. It's good to know he realises this has been a concern and is willing to drop the curtains to show off the game. If the intent is to promote player discovery through community interaction like the Souls games, well you don't need to avoid showing off core gameplay to do that.
Because hiding the core concept of a piece of entertainment is common when you want people to experience the surprise themselves. Playing MGS2 and learning that the real MC is actually Raiden and not Snake is a good example. Watching Dunkirk the first time and suddenly realizing you're actually getting Pulp Fiction: Dunkirk. You get the idea. For many, preserving the reveal of the core concept is important to the experience.
Good I won't be watching then... I usually don't watch any gameplay for any up coming game. I usually stick with the 1st reveal of gameplay, and skip any cinematic trailers. In the case of this game, there has been little no gameplay, at least not much of the combat. So I can see why people would be interested. But I rather wait to play it myself.
I get that part, but he is making it a big deal for those that dont understand the gameplay and says dont watch it if you do. But then i'm like, what's such a big deal about showing some gameplay? He doesnt have to do a 40 minute demo but if thats what it takes to make people understand then i'll have to watch this
I already trust Kojima and have the game preordered since like 3 years at a low price, won't watch.

What exactly has he revealed besides a whole lot of nothing? I have to watch this because I still don't know what this game is about or if it's even worth buying.
Going completely blind into Breath of the Wild (just saw teaser trailer, trailer 1 and trailer 3), and just being blown away by the HUD when starting the game ("whaaaat, temperature has an importance ?!"), and of course by the whole mechanics of experiencing, of manipulating the world, is my favorite gaming moment of this gen.
Given that, imo, MGS V and BOTW are the only open worlds that truly gives you mechanical freedom, I'm all in for going completely blind into Death Stranding. The use of the tools such as the ladder sold me on the game anyway lol.

video game media coverage is not good. knowing about a game before you play it results in an inferior experience.
Yeah it's on Amazon, but no big deal, I have plenty of stuff to play in the meantime.
I'll also watch. I haven't been at all convinced by this game yet, so hopefully this demo changes things.
Still going to watch it. I need to adjust expectations somewhat to know what I'm getting into or I fear that I'll be dissapointed.
Well then he might as well have not shown anything at all, but he did. We know there's ladders, there's ropes, there's shooting, there's running away from some kind of enemies. I just wonder how this plays in full. I really hope he's saying it for good reasons because what you're saying doesnt add up in this case at all
