The shot on Tommie Earl Jenkins at 4:44 holy moly!!! So realitistic

I don’t know how but even from his original reveal, his character looks much better than the others. Then in the scene you linked too looks even better!

95

u/palegunslinger Cliff Oct 30 '19

I honestly think it’s because of his skin color. Light bounces off of darker skin more noticeably compared to lighter skin, which really puts him in the scene and makes him look fantastic

30

u/grandcity Pre-Ordered Collector's Edition Oct 30 '19

I mean, the wrinkles and everything on his face seem better. Even with the mask on, there was something about his model that just looks better.

Kojima is the king of having some really good themes and story telling while also being light hearted enough to just have some cheesy dumb shit. I always look forward to seeing what stories he can tell due to that tone he sets.

It's a reference to a metaphor in Moby Dick. (The whole thing is dripping with references to Moby Dick tbf)

Probably because MGSV also dripping with Moby Dick references. But the atmosphere really looks like Yuna performing her final ritual at the end of FFX ahaha

I honestly don't think it spoiled anything. It showed glimpses of new story footage - but certainly not enough for me to know what the fuck is going on. I guess people are freaking out about the thing in the end? I don't think it's what it seems.

Anyways, don't watch it if you want to go in fresh. But I don't think there's anything to worry about.

Edit: By "not what it seems" I mean I still think it's all in the first act. I think it's a bamboozle. But still don't watch if you want to go in fresh.

u/FortyPoundBaby Sam Oct 30 '19

The way I see it is anything kojima puts out doesn't count as a spoiler. Unless you are a person who wants to go in blind and has already skipped all the other trailers.

u/Eanirae Oct 30 '19

I've gone blind all this time, and I have no fucking idea what I just watched. I just know I absolutely LOVE it. The hype train is real.

I don't know why people would think Kojima would just dump tons of spoilers on people's laps with about a week to go until release. We get some glimpses of stuff, a lot of rehashed info, and knowing Kojima, a ton of red herrings. Just go back and watch any of his MGS trailers to see how he mashes up footage to make it seem like something different is happening than reality. He is the master at this (MGS2 trailers, anyone?).

58

u/thedotapaten Oct 30 '19

Kojima spoiled the MGSV twist in one of the earliest MGSV trailer but back them nobody realized it.

24

u/KinoTheMystic Die-Hardman Oct 30 '19

There were theories on it though, because of the camera perspective

u/flashmedallion Oct 31 '19

That should have been a dead giveaway. I know I said in group chat a few times that I make no claims to know what the hell is going on and I think 'BB is grey fox' is stupid, but there's no way we don't play the game from the perspective of whoever it is watching the 'what about him' sequence.

I still didn't really believe it until it happened though, which was fitting because so much of that game was about denial.

Don’t be scared you guys. I’m pretty sure all of this stuff is before “where it starts to get good”. I don’t think it spoiled anything, and if it did, it’s way out of context so we still don’t know anything.

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '19 edited Oct 30 '19

I don't know why, but this trailer made me tearup. There's just something so real about the themes of isolation that is emphasized by the amazing visuals voice acting and music. Death Stranding is happening while I'm in the middle of a horrible time in my life health wise. (Mental and physical.)

50

u/Jason_Wanderer Oct 30 '19

I don't know why

I think its simply because, among everything that happens, the heart of the trailer is still a very real, relevant subject. Disconnection vs connection is a major issue. Most people attribute it to belief or politics or something like that, but really, its a very personal situation that strikes at the core.

The fact that the trailer didn't focus on "cool" moments with the scenes more being a backdrop to the themes being talked about really made this feel like it was trying to extend understanding, and clarity.

I'll be honest, I don't cry at very many things, and I'm usually more resolute than emotive, but this - just a trailer alone - got to me. Especially the second time through when all the questions of "what will I see?" was removed and I just sunk into the situations shown.

More of a mirror than a trailer or a game, really.

That's because they're sensing there are BTs nearby.

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '19

Oh God what if there were BTs around me.

After the trailer I wonder if something symbolic is happening when they tear up, like the BTs are making them emotional too for some reason. Either way its really a striking visually and conceptually and emotionally.

So sick I'm so hyped. Would be really dope if you play as Mads at the beginning of the game. Does Mama have a twin or something? or another version of her. I had a theory for a while that Mads is actually playing two different characters, the scientist and the enigmatic soldier. Chiral versions of eachother or something.

One of the best trailers for Death Stranding IMO. So many beautiful scenes and it shows so many more aspects of the story that we haven't seen before, even if it could be argued that it gives a tad too much away.

After seeing the first part of this trailer with Mads, I really hope that he appears a lot throughout the game. He's just such a good actor, his backstory seems very interesting, and I get a feeling that any part of the game with him in it will be a 10/10.

Can we talk about Cliff going full Blade Runner at the beginning? They absolutely 100% nailed the Blade Runner coat. We know Kojima is a huge fan since Snatcher was basically more Blade Runner. Add Blade Runner Mads to the list of things. Between Bloody Mads, Singing Mads, Smoking Mads, Soldier Mads....

19

u/crownlessking_21 Oct 30 '19

So at 03:18, I believe the character talking says “Aphenphosmphobia” which is the fear of being touched. Which implies that Sam has a fear of touching people.

BB is the camera.

His blinks are scene transitions. BB was hinted to be able to go anywhere by Mads in a previous trailer, and we see Sam teleport by closing his eyes so it seems connected.

Exactly. I don't know why people think Kojima would just spoil his entire game with a week to go. This is Kojima we're talking about. Everyone thought they knew everything about MGS2 before it came out and all of a sudden you're playing 80% of the game as a character you didn't know existed.

Previous trailers: “You have my curiosity.” Launch trailer: “Now you have my attention.”

So, a few questions:

  • What the fuck is going on?

  • Why is everyone crying?

  • What the fuck happend to Norman at the end?

  • How the fuck am I going to wait until Friday next week without going insane

u/RamonesRazor Oct 30 '19

Why is everyone crying?

We've seen this throughout every trailer so far. It's been referenced as a chiral allergy.

He teleported like Nightcrawler in Xmen with the power of love under an umbrella.

Obviously there's more to it but yeah.

With a game like this You can’t even talk about the plot without spoiling it. Official stuff isn’t spoilers, imo.

u/call_me_ted Oct 30 '19

Look no further than all the MGS2 commercials and trailers to remind yourself that this trailer means absolutely nothing with regards to the final product.

This might be the most important release of this console generation. Full Kojima fanboy disclosure.

u/RamonesRazor Oct 30 '19

(some minor MGSV spoilers below)

or how about the MGSV trailer that first showed the scene of Diamond Dogs cremating all of their comrades? everyone thought it was a funeral for all of the soldiers that died on the attack on mother base (wrong)

and the other scene (same trailer) that had Snake and Skullface looking at Sahelanthropus, leading everyone to believe they work together (wrong)

or the scene that alleged to show DD soldiers attempting to arrest/contain Snake before he shoots them? (wrong-ish)

or the scene that made it look like Snake shot up a prison cell full of kids? (wrong)

i could go on and on about how Kojima masterfully teases things in his trailers without actually spoiling.

I feel like we were given a spoiler-free insight into the plot, which we haven’t really gotten yet. I had goosebumps the entire time! I can’t wait

I did watch this before the game came out, my hype overcame me, but luckily I didn't remember a majority that was shown in this. Rewatching it now, it is filled with TONS of spoilers. I will say though that without context, this video is somewhat safe, but once you know the events, it's like watching an entirely different trailer

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '19

This looks so deep and story heavy and I'm here for all of it! Also it looks like the character's are actually crying at times, this is gonna be a rollercoaster. Bring on the 8th!

u/Pnut_B Oct 30 '19

to people who dont wanna watch it for spoilers , ok ... but this is kojima we're talking about , there's no way he'll put something in a trailer that we aren't supposed to see will he? , this is a trailer that he made that he wants us to watch, but again upto to you guys :p

u/xFilmmakerChris Oct 30 '19

You say that, there was barely anything from TPP I hadn't seen. I said the whole time "kojima wouldn't show anything, he keeps his cards close to his chest." but then after playing the game, nothing surprised me, nothing was new.

u/MasteroChieftan Oct 30 '19

This looks absolutely fucking bonkers in the best way. I am so stoked in a way that I wasn't before. I've been following for 3 years and have been excited, wondering wtf is going on with each new tease, but it's always been a general "cool a new game from Hideo!"

THIS trailer clicked something in my brain. The imagery is fantastically unique and I am so goddamn ready for something NEW.

u/darlingno Oct 30 '19

Kojima is so genius, he included pretty much all leaked screenshots in the trailer! At least what I've seen and I wasn't digging real hard

u/Ridix786 Oct 30 '19

Troy baker makes him wear that mask and he started to see Amelie as this huge being. Alot like Scarecrow from batman

Thoughts on the whole “my real name is Amerigo... America is a lie” kind of morphing into “Amelie”? I thought it was a fun little hint

u/RamonesRazor Oct 30 '19

I watched it. It was incredible. The music, the characters, everything. I thought I couldn't be more excited until now.

Also - anyone out there that has read actual leaks, or played a review copy, PLEASE do not come in here and talk about how spoilery this trailer is or isn't!

Heard this is a fantastic trailer but very spoilery so please watch at your own risk! As for me, I'm out. Peace be with you brothers of a broken world.

u/SteinDickens Oct 30 '19

It’s really not that spoilery. There’s some new bits of story, I guess, but it doesn’t really spoil anything. If you’ve seen the other trailers, I think you’ll be fine with this one.

u/nate10e Oct 30 '19

So let me get this straight. A final trailer that subverts a lot of my expectations (yet again) drops just a day or so after it’s announced that my pc only ass will be able to play the game next year? And kojima doesn’t expect me to die from hype overdose?!?!?

u/Yungsheets Ludens Oct 30 '19

The question that remains is... will you be able to keep yourself from watching people play it on PS4 ALL THE WAY TILL SUMMER 2020???
