Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding Gets Disturbing New Trailer at The Game Awards

Hideo Kojima introduced a new trailer of its upcoming action-adventure game Death Stranding, and it's as weird as you expect.

[Zero_Suit_Samus]

This has the be the craziest game trailer I’ve ever seen. I love it!

[Eonjay]

I want it now. What the hell was that?

[JaguarEvolved]

PlayStation domination across all nations

[Zero_Suit_Samus]

@Eonjay

“I want it now. What the hell was that?“

Me too. There’s some surreal sh*t going on and I can’t wait to experience it!

[AspiringProGenji]

Greatness

[bluefox755]

Weird as hell, lol. I'm more intrigued than ever though.

[AspiringProGenji]

Troll in the building^^^

[Zero_Suit_Samus]

@runningx

“Will play this game on my Windows 10 PC.”

Lol, Sony Interactive Entertainment is publishing Death Stranding and the game is being developed using Guerrilla Games Decima Engine. Not happening.

[Sunny_D]

@runningx

“Sony Interactive Entertainment presents”

Keep waiting buddy, see how that turns out😂

[GamingSinceForever]

Exactly

[ULTp0ltergeist]

yay, more trailers

[b163o1]

Shid, this looks so damn good, I'm wondering is this a ps5 game?

Just further proof that you don't need to have the most powerful Console to put out the best games.... Micro-cough

Play.Stay.tion.

[Ceaser9857361]

runningx

"Will play this game on my Windows 10 PC."

Good luck with that lol! The game will remain exclusive to the PS4 ... Pre selecting/working on decima engine it was said PS4 and Steam but after Kojima decided to work on Decima Engine which is a Sony 1st party game engine PC version is ruled out.. Hence you dont see a "Steam" at the end of the gameplay.

[DarXyde]

Hold on a second.

I'm confused. I'm seeing some comments saying Death Stranding is not coming to PC.

... isn't it? I thought Kojima's project was PS4 and PC.

EDIT:

All I'm seeing now is confirmation on PS4...

Mandela Effect, thy name is DarXyde...

[Army_of_Darkness]

Other than seeing how those guys are trying real hard to keep that baby in the pod alive, I am completely lost, but excited about this game! I can see horror elements though :D

[Daeloki]

At this point I want to remind everyone of this: http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photo...

"Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding Gets Disturbing New Trailer at The Game Awards"

Am I the only one that considers this trailer provoking, as in provoking thought, rather than finding it disturbing?

[darthv72]

Looks really interesting. I want to see more....

on a side note, if this does come to PC then so what. I'll still get it on PS4.

[rainslacker]

@Morgan

I found it intriguing. It made me want to know more...which is what a trailer should do.

I'd say it had disturbing elements, but there's nothing really wrong with that. More context will help a lot I think.

[Cyborgg]

I agree! I want this game now

[Gaming101]

Gamers: Kojima couldn't get any weirder after the ridiculousness of the MGS series.
Kojima: Hold my Sake.

[Goldby]

Hold my Sake while I Reedus this Fetus

[Strange_Evil]

This is Hideo un-bound creatively... MGS stories were twisted, but this looks like it is taking it to another level! You have my money Hideo!

[joab777]

I want this to be some kinda game about the invasion of gamers in the game world. Though right now it seems like some kinda dimensional shit.

[rainslacker]

Looks more like a horror/suspense type title, and knowing Kojima, it's probably going to be filled with a lot of other f**cked up stuff. Can't wait to see more.

[sonic989]

I'm on the fence about this game.
I'll look at what themes or ideas this game is trying to push then decide to support or not.
These days being careful with your entertainment is greatly important.

[Vizigoth04]

No it's not. Just play the games you like and enjoy. Not what others think you should play.

[Gaming101]

lol seriously? You're worried about there being unoriginal themes and ideas? How completely bonkers and out there does Kojima have to get for you to see something interesting that's never been done before?

[ravinash]

The themes and ideas will be so open to interpretation, how will you know unless you play it?

[sprinterboy]

What was that comment

[CrimsonWing69]

Dude wtf are you babbling about?

[TheVetOfGaming]

Especially when it comes to the Sonic franchise, eh? :)

[sonic989]

All you idiots might understand after some more media and story elements are shared about the game.
I said might understand again might .
How pathetic some of you can get.

[trooper_]

But no one knows what you're referring to...?

[sonic989]

@trooper
Precisely i left a vague comment, because there are certain topics came rushing to my mind, and maybe this game wants to push them one way or another let's leave it at that.
Thanks trooper for asking let the others have their sonic and trump jokes as if it matters, their whole lives might be a joke in the end you never know.
If they believe that Trump, this utterly clear fake persona to be running anything, not even his scripts, they are beyond repair mentally I figured that out without living in America or any English speaking country, it's that obvious.
Things are bigger than a video game, trump, sonic, and politics.
Again thanks trooper.

[noprin]

this trailer was very good
I really love how they search for life,while they were trying to hide it by not breathing,or how he rather die than be a slave to something we dont know
or how it seems they went underwater just as those things appeared
or a baby,a symbol of life?

[frostypants]

It's like someone wrote down every detail of a fever dream and made a game out of it.

[rainslacker]

I got a strong feeling of night terrors from it.

[TheVetOfGaming]

I can't wait to see gameplay. Metal gear has always been my favourite franchise, so I hope it's as gripping and as promising as his last series. The trailer was definitely weird.

[Gatsu]

I love it too <3

[dcbronco]

That's just plan weird. Imaginative, but incredibly weird. It is perfectly fine and totally not racist to say some Japanese people weird.

[crazychris4124]

What the hell did I just watch??

[Gamist2dot0]

Decima engine at its finest.

...And the cause of another petition started by some fan group.

[Malice-Flare]

what petition? details please...

[Relientk77]

Never been so weirded out, confused, and excited from watching a trailer before lol

[UnholyLight]

This is exactly how I feel. I am still very interested in this game but just whoa. Dont know what to think or where to start with this game ahaha. Crazy. I hope the graphics turn out like this trailer.

[AspiringProGenji]

This is the stuff that will win this Generation, not 4K

A Hideo Kojima Game

[mafiahajeri]

Mannnn most of them dont even have 4k TVs 😂

[DialgaMarine]

Will win? The winner of this gen was established on November 14, 2013 lol

[LP-Eleven]

15th ;)

[Flewid638]

I dunno man, personally I'm pretty excited that I upgraded to a Pro. Sure, the game will look beautiful on the base console...but that extra layer of crispness is so nice.

[bolimekurac]

a trailer with no gameplay??

[ravinash]

Looks at other games made with this engine...
Looks at who's making this game...

I think it'll be fine.

[Chexs1990]

I'm pretty sure it was rendered in-game bro. If you look at MGS 5 and the clothing/movement/shadows etc, it looked pretty playable. Cgi took over when he got emerged I think.

P.s. this is speculation, so don't flip out

[Eonjay]

The one thing no one is worried about is gameplay. What no one admits is that while Kojima is know for his stories, its really the gameplay that made him a star. It will be fine. The biggest thing to unravel here is the story.

[ZaWarudo]

What in the motherf***

[Skuletor]

The more we see of this game, the more questions we're left with.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Lol I feel the same way and I believe the marketing is just completely brilliant.

So many theories surrounding what we're seeing. I had a theory before that was they were in an alternate dimension as many have found syncing the music to both original trailers actually show the baby is being transported through Dimension or location (or both)

The person Aging in this trailer could be confirming that this very much has to do with time.

[Hardiman]

Man what a mind f**k!!! I so can't wait to play this!!!!!!

[mafiahajeri]

"Sony interactive entertainment presents" and "people" still think this is coming to PC 😂

[StormLegend]

It's also using the decima engine from GG HZD.

[DialgaMarine]

Not only that, it’s Guerila Games’ (ie Sony’s) engine. Funny part is, I’m sure there’s still even some Xbox fans still claiming this will come to Xbox.

[xer0]

I can't wait to play this on my PS4 Pro :D

[LP-Eleven]

Yeah, people need to give up the excitement for a PC version. Sony's engine AND IP. Not happening.

OT: Hloy crap! Looks glorious!

[guyman]

Are you sure this will be exclusive? didnt Kojima confirm a PC release?

[_-EDMIX-_]

@guy-I don't believe a PC version was ever confirmed.

Keep in mind that even could have been before their negotiations with Sony also keep in mind that Sony Computer Entertainment has copy written this game which actually likely means they own the intellectual property.

[guyman]

Im confused because didnt Kojima himself confirm it will come to PC too?

[LP-Eleven]

That has been since revised. It's Sony trademarked and the DECIMA Engine (Killzone: Shadowfall, Until Dawn, Horiozon: Zero Dawn) belongs to them as well.

It's remaining exclusive to PlayStation.

[guyman]

Thanks for the response :)

[trooper_]

Tbh, if it's an engine from Sony, it's most likely exclusive.

[ecchiless]

da fuq

[Summons75]

The trailer would have been amazing IF THERE WAS GAMEPLAY! Hopefully tomorrow at PSX? For real don't show it if you don't have anything to actually show.

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

But you months gameplay is going to be on point, so there is no stress there.

What has been shown looks amazing, deep, intriguing, weird - all the things a Kojima trailer should be.

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

*But you know* - autocorrect 😐

[Veneno]

I have to agree. Although this trailer was cool there it was just another teaser. The next reveal has to have 🎮 play otherwise its just getting long in the tooth. So far it looks like a cross of horror and action.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Why are you telling them how to Market their game?

Yet no issue with Metroid 4 title pic? 🤔🤔🤔

[Cyro]

To be fair we have now had like 3 trailers for this game.

[Ceaser9857361]

Who on their right mind will ever expect a gameplay so early.. Kojima said 2017 will be spent totally on developing the game... so if you're expecting a Gameplay my safest bet will be E3 2018 at Sony's stage ...

Oh! whats being shown here is in game footage...

[Veneno]

It would be wise to show gameplay by E3 2018 at the latest. Expectations need to be set other wise too much hype will build it up way too much and unless they can deliver on the hype it could end up being disappointing. A series of teasers is ok but after a while we need more substance.

Honestly im a little worried about the gameplay. Judging by the slow movements of the men in the bio suits it could be assumed that gameplay is also slow and awkward. Kojima needs to make us understand his game rather than letting our imaginations run too wild with crazy expectations.

[Ceaser9857361]

Kojima said if you liked games like Uncharted, Division then you will enjoy DS... So i am assuming it wont be slow... Here the slow movement was on purpose so that those alien dont detect you.... so the characters tried to maintain stealth mode..

[FullmetalRoyale]

Trailer got me like:

https://38.media.tumblr.com...

What the hell was that, and give it to me!

[Last_Boss]

Lmaooo

[alb1899]

These game looks insane. I need to see gameplay soon!

[GamingSinceForever]

I don't know what that was but I need it ASAP.

[OffRoadKing]

What in the actual hell did I just watch?

[PaleMoonDeath]

I can only get so erect...

[ILostMyMind]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[PS3_Noob]

I do not get this trailer at all but hope this game lives up to hype

[Platformgamer]

No gameplay this time too, but i loved the trailer :)
I like the horror stuff in it

[DarXyde]

What on earth did I just watch?

I'm getting a sense that time plays a big role in this game.

[Goldby]

Well one of the dogtags from original trailer showed equations for theoretical black hole. And with black holes cones the theory of relativity. The stronger the force of gravity the slower time moves.

I also think the figure that was on the crashed vehicle was Made character. Nearly identical animation to his reveal trailer

[StormLegend]

Amazing!

[B1uBurneR]

Rollercoaster of wtf.. the annoyed kind. .. Good looking graphics is all I got from watching this.

[guyman]

Absolutely fantastic. This game is going to be another huge Ps4 exclusive.

[Foxhound922]

Perhaps a less mentally stimulating game is better for you. Call of Duty might be up your alley.

[DialgaMarine]

This game looks like it’s gonna be horrifying, and that’s a very good thing.

[Elda]

I was never a Metal Gear fan though I liked 4 but this is on another level! Disturbing is an understatement,this game looks amazingly sick & wicked with hardcore sci-fi horror.I can't wait to play this!!

[Tazzy]

Sony with this exclusive and Nintendo with the announcement of Bayonetta 1, 2 and 3 and 3 being exclusive these are exciting times I can't wait for this.

[Blu3_Berry]

My curiosity for this game went from 100 to over 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[InKnight7s]

Silent hill, SOTC, MGS all in one 😍

[balance2theforce]

I'll give it weird, but it wasn't exactly disturbing.

[Ding]

balance2theforce3h ago
I'll give it weird, but it wasn't exactly disturbing.
==================

What, you don't think male humans carrying embryos is disturbing??

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[Goldby]

Let alone in their stomach. That ending with the open mouth part was...

Unique

[Jinger]

Okay, 3 teasers that make 0 sense... how about we see some gameplay

[Eonjay]

For some help just watch the aligned trailers. clues are everywhere. For example Norman's character IS the broken doll from the second trailer. Its not like a symbol. It IS him. Also The guys at the end of the second trailer is the Reaper from this trailer. Gameplay is coming for sure but I doubt thats gonna make it make for sense to you unless the cords somehow have something to do with how the game plays.

[Jinger]

This is what I mean haha it's super interesting, but I want to see how it actually looks and what we will be doing in gameplay.

[justsomeoffdude]

Typical kojima trailer..
you watch,
you think you have an idea what might it MIGHT be about
you KNOW that you're fooling yourself that you have an idea what might it might be about
you still don't give a F**K
All hail kojima senpai!!

Really, hollywood trailer makers can learn a thing or two about how to cut trailers from kojima.

can't wait for this shit!! I forsee some sicks days from work when this gets released.

[Goldby]

I already feel some symptoms of the black lung

[TheVetOfGaming]

I'm a merMAN.

[pyroxxx]

So glad he is pushing some surrealism and aesthetics,.. art does not need coherency finally,.. don't know about narrative( I bet it is going to be stupid as all fuck in the grander scheme of logic),.. but this is aesthetically pleasing and intriguing,.. Man is an artist

[TheOttomatic91]

Game of the Generation for me (that includes this and next gens).

[chiefJohn117]

Wish they hurry a d release gameplay cause these trailers are a mindjob and doesn't tell you much.

[ninsigma]

The heck is this game!?

[Liqu1d]

I need this game.

[Tross]

Well, this makes about as much sense as the first trailer, but I'd expect no less from Japanese Stan Lee. Sign me up for whatever crazy experience this game has in store for us.

[tmisellati]

crazy trailer !!

[bolimekurac]

so there was no actual gameplay, its just a trailer explaining nothing and everyone screams i want it now. maybe we should wait to see what the game is actually about or how it looks and plays in actual gameplay

[Zero_Suit_Samus]

@bolimekurac

You seem concerned? Let people get excited. It’s Kojima enough said.

[bolimekurac]

oh i trust in him, he makes great games but that wasnt the point, it was a movie trailer and didnt show any hint of how it will play.

[Zero_Suit_Samus]

“oh i trust in him, he makes great games but that wasnt the point, it was a movie trailer and didnt show any hint of how it will play.”

We will see gameplay though soon as it’s ready. It will be worth the wait.

[Foxhound922]

If you've been following the game or have any knowledge of Kojima/Engine/Metaphors etc then you wouldn't be so concerned. It seems that you've never witnessed Kojima viral marketing. We know it's being made by Hideo, a master of his craft. We know that he markets his games with subtle trailers and metaphors. We know it's using the decima engine. We know it's a third person action/shooter. We know it's multilayer. We know it's a sci fi tale involving relativity, time, alternate dimensions etc. Have you been paying attention? How much more do you need? We will get gameplay soon enough but if it hasn't intrigued you by now, then I highly doubt the gameplay reveal will change anything. Seemingly enough, the only people that are "concerned" about the game are the ones that don't own a PS.

[Paulbroke]

"Art"

[ILostMyMind]

Stranger Things feelings.

[Smitty2020]

Looks like he’s shining now with his own studio

[TheTony316]

Only Kojima can pull of a 8 minute trailer. Don't know what i'm watching but i'm sold.

[jay2]

D.S is the story of the big bang 2.

[lellkay]

I was watching this live yesterday and i've got no idea what is going on haha

[C-H-E-F]

I loved it, looks like they were on Mars or some other planet as well... I'm definitely spending all my monies on this game. and it's a PSE lawwwd.

[Perjoss]

I fkn love all the death stranding trailers.

[Good-Smurf]

I'm happily confused,only Kojima can make me feel that.

[senorfartcushion]

Alien invasion, maybe Interdimensional invasion?

Clearly they can possess and come in my forms, and with the other trailers, the notion that the world's physics have been utterly changed.

They look like possible Bulk-Beings. The baby might be Norman Reedus in a John Connor, savig himself situation, or it just could be the key to humanity's survival.

[TheVigilanteCode]

>90% of the people on the internet post that they don't WTF is going on in a game trailer.
>Watches trailer.
>Doesn't know WTF is going on.

Kojima trailer for a game confirmed.

[81BX]

It did interest me but I'm not excited yet. Gotta know what the hell to be excited for lol. Seems dope story wise

[hamburgerhill]

Wow....i have never seen a game trailer this captivating ever. Wth

[Lulz_Boat]

This is what a masterpiece

[yomfweeee]

I guess I'm the only one not blown away by this. Looks great. But no gameplay, no idea what is going on. I've never been into the MGS games recently, so I guess I don't have that Kojima trust.

[thesoftware730]

Nice Graphics.
Get ready to pull out the story decoder. I sense another convoluted Kojima game with great gameplay and tons of cut scenes/cinematics.

[thesoftware730]

They should port it to the switch!

Ok, i'll leave now.

[robleroy]

https://segmentnext.com/201...

[robleroy]

Hideo Kojima, the creator of Metal Gear Solid and the man currently working on Death Stranding with Sony, has successfully run some tests on his latest game using the Decima Engine.

Posting on his social media account, Hideo Kojima mentioned that he can have a good night’s sleep after seeing the test results. From the looks of it, whatever tests he ran held a higher level of importance considering his reaction to the whole matter.

[robleroy]

For those who don’t know, Hideo Kojima and Guerilla Games are working together on Decima Engine. A different version of the same engine was used to develop Horizon Zero Dawn.

The collaboration [with Guerilla Games] started later…. The teaser we showed at E3 was in a different engine. Guerrilla Games had the right engine. Their engine is well suited to the tools and systems of an open-world game. This was a very important aspect.

[robleroy]

Death Stranding is releasing on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro sometime in 2019. The release date is not yet finalized but the title is expected sometime before the release of akira

[HeyNowChillax]

A new trailer that raises more questions than it answers, smart move. The game engine looks top notch along with that unique Kojima style. I expect great things from their studio, hands no longer tied to better orchestrate with creative freedom.

[Gatsu]

So epic!!!

[Count_Bakula]

Jesus christ Kojima. 3:51 was hysterical/awesome. Hope it's third-person.

[theshredded]

A true genius ladies and gents! Only people who are used to f*ked up sh*t like me can comprehend this...

[oldassgamer]

Brings back memories : )

https://goo.gl/riZs9n

[Gh05t]

YAY a movie!

[AmUnRa]

Yeah that was....disturbing, weird, great, creepy, not of this world, crazy, what the hell, sureal, creative, mindbogeling......words can not explaine this.

This ladys and gentleman is Hideo Kojima...cant wait!! 👍👍👍

[Ryuujinjakka]

Kojima... still chasing the white rabbit.

[carmelo43]

looks wack, no thanks

[Einhander1971]

It's bizarre, amazing, intriguing all at the same time. This looks promising stuff.

[DillyDilly]

Is this game one Big Quicktime Event ? Press Triangle Give Birth ?

[ramtah]

wow!!

[joab777]

He should just make everyone's trailers. I so want this to be a 4th wall game, as most are, bit on a whole entirely different level.

[ramtah]

it has been awhile sence i have been hypet for a game now that feeling is back!

[rulparra]

more smoke from kojima, another cg shows nothing, expect on ps5 2022.

[Foxhound922]

"Wahhh I don't own a playstation"
-rulparra, 2017

[Ethereal]

Absolutely amazing. I think we are all in for a treat when this finally launches. Some of the fan theories are SUPER interesting.

[sprinterboy]

Wow, the baby inside putting a thumbs up, OK. Thinking this will be ps5 though?

[sdplisken]

Megahyped!!!!
Hype meter at 100% :)

[N1]

This trailer was awsome ! creepy but awsome

[bananasrule]

the weirdest trailer i have ever seen honestly loool

[Skankinruby]

What the hell did I just watch......kojima is the only one who could screw with my mind this much lol, I'm very intrigued

[mayberry]

did they take the ocean at the end! give our ocean back! Now I want to fight for them mining our planet!

[Felsager]

Hideo Kojima welcome back.

We where waiting for you. Please by all means, carry on with your game. We all want to see what you have to offer.

Thank you for such outstanding comeback Kojima. :)

[Sevir]

3 trailers in two years, and and we finally understand that

1) the Hand prints all over his body comes from those invisible dark entities. Which means he's been taken quite a few times and some how survived...

2) Babies seem to be a gameplay mechanic of some sort, because Sam's suit tracker antenna didn't become active until he recovered the baby from his team mate...

3) Sound and breathing, seems to be gameplay mechanic s used to avoid detection from those near invisible entities! So it's likely going to play as a new take or evolution of Hideo's world-class stealth gameplay...

4) I still don't know WTF IS GOING ON AND I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS....

5) DECIMA looks amazing in it's new iteration...

6) GAME PLAY MUST BE PRESENT AT E3 NEXT YEAR... Kojima Games are typically shown off in Playable for within 8-12 months of being released
