November 8th 2019

Also a new trailer:


It certainly seems like a new and interesting concept with influences from the Metal Gear series. I'm excited for this one!

Theres a whole lot of other trailers that give different information.

Piece it all together from all the trailers and.....you still won't fully know much at all actually but still I'll be pre-ordering this (or the wife will as a b-day present)

Joker, I checked out the trailer after you mentioned it last night. F.U.!! I had nightmares about that creepy baby all night!?!

This one seems to check a lot of boxes for me. Dystopia, check. Open world, check. Compelling story, check. A "mans man" main character, check. As long as I can secure a steady supply of anti-anxiety meds and sleep aids before release, I should be able to block out the fetal backpack and I'll likely pick this up.

War between the living and the dead in purgatory and the babies act as a bridge between the worlds with some environmentalist flair thrown in.

OR....

The babies become clones of those they're attached too....so when people die in this world by fast aging (shows up in other trailers) their baby clone becomes them as an adult.

OR....

The babies can also become possessed by the PT's (there's baby dolls that appear to come to life)

OR....

This is also connected to Metal Gear Solid (remember The Sorrow in Snake Eater who had a persistent tear down his cheek? Notice all the tears in the trailers?)

OR....

This is connected to the PT teaser that was supposed to be a Silent Hill game before Konami kicked Hideo Kojima to the curb (one of the groups of bad guys in this are called PTs and the use of creepy babies coincides with the premature crying fetus baby in the sink in PT)

AND ALSO....

There's the whole "Strand Game" that Kojima productions trademarked earlier this year due to this being a whole new genre of game....

OR....

Who TF knows?

Ya I love Hideo Kojima. The horror game he had planned got axed so I'm hoping aspects of that show up in this. The dude has a crazy imagination that's for sure.

And HortAg09? Which floor were you on in Hotard and were you there for it's last year before it closed?

Kojima is one of those creators that I genuinely struggle to figure out what my feelings are towards him. When I played through MGS2 and Snake Eater the first time I thought they were the greatest games ever made. I didn't understand a lot of what the dialogue and plot were presenting but I left it to the idea that I was just young and didn't fully understand the underlying messages being presented. As I got older and he released MGS4 and 5 I finally realized that it wasn't my age. It was that he just straight up sucks at telling a story.

As I play through these games it feels like everything happening is just an improvisation. Like as he was writing this thing he took some drugs, and didn't stop until it was finished. He never looked back at what he wrote and he never retouched anything after. The dialogue doesn't translate well and even if it did it still struggles to make sense. And then he tends to get hung up on ideas about war and violence and mercenaries and government and beats them to death in every game. I guarantee we'll hear the term "we need to reconnect" 35,000 times in this one.

Now, on the other hand from a gameplay visionary and refiner he's second to none. I've never played games that are as polished and full of interesting mechanics as his. And his visuals are always at the bleeding edge. I've never played games like MGS2 and 3 that make me want to go back and replay an entire 10-15 hour story a dozen times.

I just wish he had an adviser or something to help him filter out the good and bad. It's like he'll come up with 50 incredible ideas for a game along with 50 cringe-worthy ideas and throw them all in.

Kojima to me is basically Tarantino. Completely original, obviously has a unique vision, lacks any kind of real restraint (for better or worse), but pretty much a genius in his respective industry.

Maybe it really just boils down to a cultural thing and some of it gets lost in translation. Japanese things sometimes make no sense but still entertaining as hell.

I never lived on campus but I did go in there a couple times after the remodel and turned it into offices.

And yes Kojima is a very creative individual. Anything he makes I have complete faith in due to his history. So pumped for this game. I feel like the sky is the limit for him, well actually the moon according to the trailer, and not having to cater to a studio should unleash every bit of his ability. I love that he is willing to push people's comfort levels in his games. I also love how he mixes his vision of the future of western civilization.

great comparison!

This makes it so upsetting that PT never made its way into a game...could have been an insane experience playing a horror game by Hideo Kojima

I've never sat through a Tarantino movie questioning how any of what's going on makes sense. Sorry. This game has looked like complete nonsense from the first trailer. But I'll give you that it looks completely original. I hope it surpasses my expectations and opens the door to more original game ideas. I will say there has to be something to it if they've been able to attract the caliber of actors they have, right? That gives me hope.

Two words:

Hideo Kojima

Also the whole idea around this game is that Hideo is trying to invent a new genre of gaming, much like he did with Metal Gear and the stealth genre.....even went as far as to trademark the term "strand game" which is what he's calling it.

The whole concept is still a mystery around gameplay, but recently 50 minutes of gameplay footage was released....and personally I'm trying to stay as far away now from anything being spoiled as possible.

There's also been people from different companies and people Hideo personally knows that he's let sample certain parts and everyone has essentially had the same response: "you've never seen anything like this."

That's in a nutshell. Honestly I could go on and on

I kind of wish I hadn't watched that trailer. There's some (maybe?) spoilerish stuff that I would have rather been surprised by playing it instead of watching it in a video.

But it's Kojima, so it's totally possible everything in the trailer is a red herring.
Chase McGuire

Who knows with Kojima?

Honestly, I think trying to figure out this game's plot before playing it is a fool's errand. I have no idea what this game is about other than the basic premise. I'm sure the trailer didn't give everything away.

I can't decide if I'm dropping money on this. If I do, I'm going to be pissed if I'm just a futuristic Fedex delivery guy:
