As he took of the night vision goggles I almost expected a 'Kept you waiting huh'

This is what happens when you tell Kojima, 'just do whatever you want'

The music is brilliant.

Kojima just straight up put out whole cutscenes from the final game as trailers and still nobody understood a thing.

Kojima must be sitting there and laughing by all of our theories about this game.

You know its a Japanese game when they put tentacles on tanks

Anyone else going back and rewatching the trailers post game, just for the surreal feeling of finally understanding what we've been over-analyzing for the past few years?

I love this trailer, because it feels far less like a traditional advertisement and more like a surreal painting/film. The music and ambience are mysterious and dreadful. The lack of any dialog gives a feeling of isolation and suspense and makes you concentrate on the world itself. When it was first released, each time I watched it I noticed one new detail after another. The trailer in general feels like (a piece of) a puzzle that draws the viewer deeper into a rabbit hole. No matter if the game is good or bad, no matter if I ever get to play this myself (don't have ps4), this trailer will forever have a place in my heart as a piece of art.

Love the score. Love the cinematography. Love the trailer. Yep that's Kojima for you.

3:38 I fucking love that effect

Ohh, it's so hard to form a connection when you can't shake hands. Fortunately I've got a good connection to the other side.

Still coming back for this masterpiece.

remember the moment when you had no idea what this is about

I finished finished the game a month after it’s release. Yet I still come here every now and then to enjoy this cinematic. This game was something else.

Pople in these comments talking about "I wish I could've played THIS version of the game" obviously bailed on DS after 5 hours. Half of the game is like this!

A MOVIE FROM A24 IS IN PRODUCTION! LET'S GOOOO!

This is Kojima in his purest form. No corporate bullshit, just raw unbridled creativity. I can't fucking wait.

Almost 2 years and this is still one of the greatest trailers I have ever seen.

I will always come back to this teaser trailer.

Mads Mikkelson is just badass

Death Stranding will be something revolutionary, it will change our expectations and views on how games should be, this is Kojima in his best, from all these years of experience in game development and his genius, without having to deal with Konami restrictions.

I see I’m not the only one returning 4 years later :)

One of the most interesting trailers for a video game ive ever seen. 1000 theories,quesions, assumptions, this is why to me Kojima is the GOAT of game creation.

There's just something about the WW2 era soldiers being skeletons that is totally bad ass, but when Mad stepped out of the shadows commanding his squad in modern military uniform and night vision he looked a thousand times more menacing and deadly, and the he way his goggles flashed off of his head as he told the others to keep silent! The coolness factor of this trailer is high af!

No gameplay shown, no idea what the game or story is about, yet, I'm so addicted to this trailer. Seen it up to twenty times (not exaggerating). I'm so intrigued and fascinated.

Am I the only one that prefers this music to the Low Roar song? The electronic minimalism fits this video and the world so much better. 2:50

This trailer is the saddest trailer I've ever seen once you get to know Clifford Unger so much.

See you all on November 8th!!!

I like how when they premiered this trailer, Mads taking his NVG off, and everyone screamed, while he was like "Shhhh-- quiet...". Looks like he was communicating with the audience.

Man. Remember when we didn't know, wtf was going on, and now it all make sense. Kojima played us like a damn fiddle again.

almost 2 years later this trailer is actually starting to become one of my all time favourites. incredibly well done, i love it.

Who else is rewatching the OG trailers to hype up the release of DS2? The quality of the trailers amazes me more and more each time that I see it.

Mads' character controls skeletons using black wires. Skeletons... *death*... Wires... *stranding*...

The amount of times I've return to watch these trailers is crazy. The music is just incredible.

The ost is going to be amazing, I really love the music here, it captures the strange, ominous, mysterious, alien like atmosphere...

この映像が三年前にはできてたって凄すぎる

Starting to wonder if MGS was holding back Kojima's creative juices because holy crap that is quite a setup

Been doing some research about Death Stranding. Death Stranding Definition: Also known as a Cetacean Stranding is when a whale is discovered dead due to becoming beached. Limbo: The waiting room of the dead, often depicted as an infinite beach. In Christian mythology, it is where unbaptised babies and those who have lived a good life, but never converted to Christianity go after they die. Dying: In interviews, it has been said the dying in death stranding will instead of being a game over, will actually play a part in the game. Revelations King James 20:13: And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. Daryl's Dog Tags: It has been discovered that on Norman Reedus' dog tags, as seen in the trailer shows equations related to quantum physics and blackholes.

I came back to this to remind myself how gorgeous the cinematics are in this game, such a unique concept and story

I can't tell you how many times I've rewatched this. And I found it like 2 days ago.

3:58 His compass goes wild Magnets, my dudes

From what I am understanding from this video: Del Torro = Kojima The baby = Kojima's work The military = KONAMI Mads Mikkelsen = KONAMI CEO The doll = Metal Gear Series This makes me kinda sad knowing what Kojima has gone through

Having finally reached this point in the game organically, suddenly ALL of this makes sense. Makes me remember when this trailer came out, and all we had was speculation.

I had this game just sitting on my Playstation since release and after the DS2 trailers started emerging I finally gave this game a proper try after giving up the first time after 6-7 hours. And my god am I glad I did! It took about 70hrs complete the game and get the platinum and I loved every minute of it. What a fantastic experience this game was. The story is Kojima's best one so far and the gameplay got really fun longer into the game. Can't wait for the sequel now!

Guillermo del Toro hides newborn Silent Hill game from the hideous Konami's army of lawyers

And it was at this moment that Konami knew, he fucked up.

Why am I watching this 10 times every day?

One of my all time favorite video game trailers, the part at the end with Cliff and the music is so incredible , still get chills after all these years, Hideo Kojima is a genius 👏👏👏

Only Hideo Kojima can make a 5 minute trailer where you don't say anything but say everything needed. Amazing work as always.

Dear Solid Snake. We don't know what year this takes place in but War has definitely changed.

This is a game where you fight a giant ghost squid hopping rooftop to rooftop chucking grenades full of your own blood at the thing while it tugs down buildings into the murky depths below, and people act like the *only* thing you ever do is walk. Hell that's not even the only method of traversal and you get an electric trike REALLY early on that speeds the game up a lot when you do.

I think this game actually lived up to the hype

And here we are... In 2022. Kojima Predictions.

So good to see Del Toro, Reedus and Kojima reunited. And now Mads Mikkelsen too....HYPE.

See you in may 29th y'all

The way that guys helmet and visor disappeared is awesome. Tooooooo awesome.

I just finished this part of the game. And it's 10/10.

This is the trailer that makes me want to play this game so bad

On one hand, I can't wait for this game to come out so I'll finally understand these trailers, but another part of me loves the surreal mystery.

Death Stranding is a game that doesn't grow on you. You grow on it.

i'm back here because i see the scene in the game! it's so surpise, this ain't just random teaser cinematic

Just wanted to note. If you look closely at Del Toro, his head has a scar stitched across his forehead.

I watch the trailer at least once a week to remind myself how epic this game's gonna be

The speculation about this game was fucking insane. These trailers were perfect.

I love this moment. Mads (Cliff)is so cool

I love the subtle church organ/synthesizer sound that plays when the soldiers are first shown. Very creepy.

I will buy anything you give us, Kojima

This is synced with the first trailer! When the baby disappears from hands of the naked guy, it appears in the machine of this guy. When the naked guy cries, this guy's feet start getting flooded. They're also both wearing one side of a cuff, indicating a link I believe. When their backs are turned, they both look further down into the distance. In this trailer, further down, there are those FIVE evil weird soldier things. In the first trailer, further down, there are FIVE weird floating things. I think the naked guy in the first trailer is linked to the baby doll here as they both have that same scar. Furthermore, that baby doll bumping into that guy at the end could tell us that the naked guy did indeed advance towards that sea. So we're seeing teleportations between different dimensions/ life and death/ I have no clue. I love this game already.

Should we post theories already? >a company called Bridges is established with the purpose of researching space/time travel and human evolution >they somehow manage to find a way to warp space and time using the psychic abilities of genetically enhanced babies >these genetically enhanced beings can use parts of the brain that are unreachable for normal people, through biotechnology, humans were able to transcend their own limitations, creating a being that surpasses their understanding (think of the Star Child at the end of 2001 A Space Odyssey, Kojima's favourite movie of all time) >the fetuses however cannot warp as they please, they need something like a host to direct them in the right direction and pull the necessary strings and coordenate thoughts >for a normal human to experience time/space travel, they have to be connected in a primordial way, a way that both beings would share nutrients and thoughts >a surgery is made so that hosts(humans) can adapt to be receptive of the fetus, an artificial umbilical cord is what keeps both host and fetus attached and able to warp time/space >brain implants are sometimes also necessary as our undeveloped cerebrum would reject the strong will of a being that has transcended humanity (scar on Del Toro's forehead) >however, our forced evolution led by our knowledge of biotechnology did not go unnoticed >our defiance, our pride, our greed, our lack of touch and care with what surrounds us, we never thought we would one day have to pay for these mistakes >an ancient and god-like alien race, responsible for the advances of various primitive races throughout the whole universe, even our own (another reference to 2001 A Space Odyssey) did not take kindly to our defiance of the natural course >we didn't know, but they have always been watching us since the start, they have always been there, looking, judging, helping since the start of everything (Swedish radio on PT talks about "they") >upon thousands of years of surveillance, our race is finally judged for our mistakes, and our own wish of transcending our humanity was what caused the rage of our observers >the ocean, the water, the very same place where life started and is therefore seem as the origin of everything, now has strands that spread throughout the waves spreading death to all living things, umbilical cords that seem to suck out nutrients instead of providing them >a disease that seem to attack our reproductive system making both man and women unable to conceive children (reference from Children of Man, another one of Kojima's favourite movies) >5 generals are also sent to our planet in order to make the harvesting of resources and crowd control easier, buy mainly, to hunt the genetically enhanced beings we humans were able to create >these generals are beings that have transcended their own origins and now stand as something totally different, something that defies order and everything that is natural >they have abilities far from our imagination, but one in particular is the reanimation of physical and biological things though the use of the black goo, substance that is harvested by the black umbilical cords connected to every living thing near oceans, this substance works as a universal fuel, making it possible for these generals to bring life through death (Mads Mikkelsen has umbilical cords on him and many on his feet, he is probably taking the fuel directly though the cords at his feet, that are connect to sea life on oceans, a huge web of cords that covers the whole world providing almost infinite fuel) >these generals can also warp though time/space and materialize weapons and equipment they have been in contact with using the black goo as fuel (when Mads makes his helmet disappear, the needle in the HUD present on his chest moves, as to show some fuel was used for that action, same thing happens when he releases the dead WW2 squad from his umbilical cords) >the first time we see Mads(one of the generals) he is covered in black goo, as if he had so much fuel stored that it was literally going down his eyes >when he releases the soldiers, a big part of the fuel stored into him goes with them as nutrients, this causes Mads body to balance the quantity of fuel left and push back some of the substance that had gone out through his eyes (that is why his face is clean after the camera pans to the doll)

Why I can't get bored watching this trailer kojima knows what we like so BADASS

4:25 - Look at that smirk! It fills you with chills!

Konami: Why are we here? Just to suffer? Kojima: You've had your chance.

Kojima is a master. He makes the best trailers.

While some people dads goes to buy milk. This dude came back even from death to see his b b again.

There is no better Villian face and voice than this man.

1:27 god i love the ominous music that starts playing here, wish i could hear the full track

May just be the coolest clip ever conceived, especially with the amazing visuals and music.

I'll stop watching this video one day, but only when we have a new trailer

Kojima truly has a mind of a genius. The Metal Gear story about nuclear weapons and America vs Soviet Union, the cold war. If I was a billionaire, I would 100% support his ideas in story telling and would give him all the money and resources he needs. He can take any idea and make it into a true vision. Something unique. We need more developers like Kojima.

Kojima is love, Kojima is life

Every time I watch this trailer it gets better and better.

I watched this trailer religiously before the game came out

Amazing ass soundtrack paired with the always flawless cinematography that only Kojima could pull off. I'm fucking ready.

Here I just want to thank Kojima Productions for trying their best to innovate the gaming experience and not being bothered by the trash talk that many are saying. I'm looking forward to this game and its success even if I don't play it in the near future. Stay sharp, bold and creative as always Kojima.

*Dormammu, I've come to bargain*

Mads Mikkelsen is always so insanely terrific.

So happy that Ludvig Forssell is working with Kojima again, the OST in Phantom pain and in Ground zeroes were superb, especially the intro in Ground zeroes. Can't wait for the release for Death Stranding.

Can't believe people still come back to this trailer and writing comments here! I still can't comprehend..damn!

The way the compass at that guy's chest moves at 3:58, the way that baby's eye blinks at 4:13 and the way fish swim in the new trailer are hinting something weird is happening to gravity/magnetic poles

Happy that Kojima confirmed this scene is actually in the game 👌

This breaks the fourth wall in so many layers. I'm still stunned how the world on the other side of the screen seeps into our world and how our world seeps into the world behind the screen. To worlds, in one game. It is not even compareable to any kind of art that I know. I wish you success Mr Kojima. May this be the beginning of a new era. The era of Homo Ludens.

Game’s been getting mixed reviews but that hasn’t killed my hyped. He did say it wouldn’t be a game for everyone.

Prepare for another cool but incomprehensible trailer by end of the year plus a cryptic interview with Kojima and then one more year of silence.

Norman Reedus, Guillermo del Toro and Mads Mikkelsen in a freaking game. Probably the best collaboration in gaming history. What a time to be alive, and our lord and savior Kojima is at his BEST. #FuckKonami

I saw DeadMan and Heartman's theory of the beach and how every person can be placed to a unique world. They still dont explain why that tank has guts and tentacles coming out from inside!

I've buried 19 of hours into this game so far, occasionally seeing Mads Mikkelsen during cutscenes which seem to be flashbacks about him being a nice guy, but I'm still yet to see him in this agressive form. Still so curious about what's gonna happen. I should find more time to play this game further.

I have watched this trailer way too many times now. I may have a problem, guys.

Can I just say that "demonic looking american soldiers covered in oil" is one of the least subtle things I've seen kojima do?

Graphics is unreal man. Kojima said it's running in real time native 4K on PS4 Pro that's insane man.

remember when we were saying that this was related to metal gear? What times..
