The Death Stranding Briefing Trailer is OUT. This one explains it all... or does it?

Just people wanting to be contrarian, they like putting down Hideo.
Oh man, if the whole game is going to be pushing themes about coming together, reaching across the aisle to unite a divided America the backlash is going to be interesting.
People keep clarifying this, but every single instance of it being pronounced in the game so far sounded unambiguously like "Homo demons".
All I got out of this is that, after end of the world, a bunch of furries got mad with the sudden freedom and became homo demons. ANd yes, they are furries. Nobody else wouldlive in a city, called "Edge Knot"
Just because Kojima explores the reality of governments with infighting and intergovernmental conflict, doesn't mean he's against the liberal world order. Rather, he uses these as reflections of the past and warnings of the future if we are not careful. Kojima seems to actually buy into the concept of American Democracy and the Melting Pot country of people and ideas, but he's not blind to the hypocrisy concerning America's past foreign policy.
Death Stranding may end up being his most pro-American game since MGS2 going by the Briefing Trailer. It's very clearly a response to the Trump administration and right-wing populist leaders cropping up around the world.
The pretending to be confused thing is just a meme in Kojima related things. I'm actually surprised that this briefing trailer was so straightforward lol.
This was kind of my first thought. I was watching the trailer and when they're talking about rebuilding America I was thinking "so this takes place after the Trump presidency, right?"
I find those descriptors somewhat add odds with each other. It's overly complex and difficult to follow but also lazy? Can you explain why you feel it is these things?
Personally I found it surprisingly straight forward and to the point, especially for a Kojima cutscene. I'm not seeing anything lazy or convuluted about it. It's very well made, introduces characters and past history very quickly, not to mention the basic premise of your task, the villains, your route, the signalling sites, the motives etc, all in a few minutes.
I take it you don't know how to listen because that isn't the name of the city. It's pretty clear why you're here.
That art is beautiful. Sam's basic goal was probably the least confusing thing though, this trailer is like them just repeating it but really slowly. Liking the music too.
Techno babble is an example of something overly complex but also lazy
Yeah was thinking the same, I mean not that much new information other than miss America Strand involvement, (is the Us presidency an inherited title now?)
This should be the boxart. Looks amazing.

Also, for once a trailer about this game helps clear (somewhat) the goal behind it instead of just raising even more questions!
Lol you expect the target audience of young teenage men to care that it's a latin word for something. They are about to have a good chuckle that they can say homo demons.
Ehh. Fuck those cunts.
But no, i don't expect people to know that. I didn't, and had to look it up.
Yeah I don't know who's decision it was to go with the lame box art and steelbook art for the game instead of this but it was a terrible decision.
I'm watching this trailer and I'm already bored after five minutes of talking. Kojima really needs to show some actual gameplay.
What do you think the 50 mins of gameplay in a few hours is for? Lol
You think they care that they can use the Latin word for human/man at all? They'll just say far more hateful stuff regardless.
Or maybe you should've just waited for the gameplay in a few hours instead of watching this? This trailer was shown at Gamescom several weeks ago so we already knew it wasn't a gameplay trailer.
If you're complaining about a story trailer and only want gameplay...... have you not played any of Kojimas previous work.... the games going to be like 90 percent cutscenes lol
They aren't topping Die-Hardman. It's like peak dumb Kojima code name.
This is one of those threads where people watch a thing, but don't listen to the words being said in the thing.
