Death Stranding

reddit wrote:The handcuffs feel like how Kojima felt working for Konami. His baby (Metal Gear) was taken away from him but the umbilical cord also seems like hes saying that he was pretty attached to the series as well. Maybe the five dudes floating in the air are supposed to be Metal Gear 1-5 and how he is walking away from it.

Info from Geoff Keighley Interview with Kojima on YouTube:

- No involvement from Del Toro
- Kojima Productions logo has nothing to do with the game, it's just a logo
- It's an action game
- Game setting is still secret
- Kojima won't say the name of the main character
- Game will take "some time" to make, don't expect it soon
- Game name is related to the stranding of something that is dead, like a whale on a beach, something from some other world comes to a new place

Reedus = Adam
Strand = Eden
Floating men = Archangels
Dead sea animals = Great Flood
C-scar = Adam's rib
Empty Handcuff = Eve
Eventual skull spacesuit = Ark
USB drives around his neck = Animals of the Ark

"There's a Japanese author I am a huge fan of called Kobo Abe. He has a short novel called 'Rope' in which he makes a definition, a statement: the first tool mankind made was a stick. It was made toto keep away bad things. It's a weapon.

"The next tool created by mankind was rope. The rope is not to keep away bad things. On the contrary, it's a tool used to keep good things close to you, to tie good things close to you. Sticks and ropes are some of the tools most used by mankind even these days.

"In most games you see that are online multiplayer or co-op - or even single player - the communication is through sticks. In this game you will be able to use what will be the equivalent of sticks. But I also want people to use what will be the equivalent of ropes."


Kojima stressed this does not mean Death Stranding is a multiplayer game in which you will be using physical ropes, but rather that it will be about making connections.

"I want the story and the world and the gameplay, as well as the characters in the game and the the player - the life and death elements - all to be tied together," he explained. "That's the strong theme that is in this stranding concept.

WHAT THE *bleep*

IF YOU PLAY BOTH DEATH STRANDING TRAILERS OVER EACH OTHER, THE BABY TELEPORTS FROM NORMAN TO DEL TORO
