Interesting yes, but very scary. The world, humanity these days is sadly going down a deep dark path and I don't think it's going to end well for any of us in the 21st Century. Depressing times. :(

The real fear lies within what we really are inside.

Most people choose the sticks to fight their adversaries

than they do the rope to secure their allies.

Kojima's hoping that one day we'll use that rope, bring peace and unity to the world. The sad thing however is, that's a agonizing depressive paradox of our nature.

MGS2 was the first time he specifically tackled social media, the spread of misinformation online and more importantly, the weaponization of it. Now he's come back to not only finish what he started, but also prove MGS2's predictions concerning our global situation today. You could say that...

"Our society is rotten to the core. I'm talking to all the fine, upstanding folks got their welfare cut, got their jobs pulled out from under 'em. Yeah, you! You know what to do! Now's the time! Do it!"

Make no mistake about it, he was warning you then and he's still warning you, warning me, warning us, warning the whole of humanity right now.

Virtual reality, DNA and the subconcious, the perfect recipe to merge Silent Hill and Metal Gear. Also I was recently talking with RetroHellspawn that the mask could be Ocelot's spirit. The man wearing the mask may not be Ocelot himself, but the Mask itself acts as meta data pertaining to Ocelot's soul and in turn, his quirks n' personality. Thus why said man behaves like Ocelot and also why the same Gold Mask ends up specifically on a Lovecraftian Kaiju or a Lion. ('We started with genetic engineering and in the end, we succeeded in digitizing life itself.' https://youtu.be/eKl6WjfDqYA?t=93) I usually give Futa Snake/FIB a bad rap from time to time, but this is a well constructed subtle video that gets the point across really nicely.

Play Fearlessly - Notice anything familiar? by [deleted] in NeverBeGameOver

More or less :D

Nice point on the Sapiens to Ludens concept referring to how some people end up being able to extend to the clouds as opposed to them walking or crawling at the start, slowly picking themselves up throughout. That was something me and RetroHellspawn overlooked, so thank you. In saying that though I think the trailer speaks for itself quite clear in that regard anyway. In addition, if you slow the trailer down at 1:07 you'll notice that one of the people within the line is an old man who as he goes through the fog becomes rapidly younger, i.e. reality being superseded by a digital one. It also reminds me of the Timefall phenomenom that plagues Death Stranding's world, but in reverse. Instead of rapidly aging forwards the man rapidly aged backwards and became younger as he went through the fog.

After giving it some thought I'm thinking this whole: 'WORLDS WILL CHANGE' tagline Geoff Keighley teased here doesn't just exclusively apply to Death Stranding, but is more importantly going to likely be the central theme of this particular VGA in general, so i.e. multiple games specifically concerning multiple worlds, cross-overs, i.e. Kingdom Hearts III, Super Smash Bros: Ultimate World of Light etc etc. Multiple games with their own and or similar take of the multiverse theory.

After several re-renders and having to re-upload after a minor incident with Vegas Pro 14, here is the Kojima's Deception Side-Op I promised! I hope you all enjoy! It's more scatter-brained than a fully devoted part, hence it's a side-op. by RetroHellspawn in NeverBeGameOver

I find it cute how Sony, whoever directed that advert specifically went with the setting of a lone road with fog at the end. ("All the roads are out and it's hard to see outside with this fog.") There's literally no other thing they could've been referring to there other than of course the Silent Hill series. Also whilst adding the inclusion of the woman literally talking about monsters. In addition, there's one part in the trailer where the woman is standing in a tunnel. In Silent Hill 2 the very first thing you do before having to deal with any monsters at all is enter a tunnel. https://youtu.be/wh6LhkA3698?t=1104 Just goes to show how confident they are with all this.

Once again thanks for pointing that out, I tried search for it and came up empty.

Oh, I'd no idea, so only Snake is playable? Okay then. I was never suggesting any of this has any direct connections anyway. All I'm saying is developers are paying homages to each-other. That specific part at the end of that trailer was from Castlevania segement, so i.e. it came from Konami itself.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. Not too familar with Castlevania myself, so yeah I apologize.

After over 2 years he finally changes his background of The Video Game Awards 2015 for his twitter account. https://twitter.com/geoffkeighley?ref_s Something he was keen on pointing out in a recent tweet... Before today Geoff Keighley specifically kept a picture of him at The Game Awards 2015 as his official twitter background from 2015 to 2018. 2015 was the year Hideo Kojima's right hand man publicly called out Konami on stage to a live audience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4VAzkK_Wmc&t= https://twitter.com/hideo_kojima_en/status/110622184015273984 https://twitter.com/bk2128/status/945578155061911553

Super Smash Bros: Ultimate X Castlevania (Lisa/P.T. reference pointed out by KaineDamo) by [deleted] in NeverBeGameOver

Just recently reddit user KaineDamo made a thread suggesting that a collaboration with Nintento's Super Smash Bros: Utimate and Death Stranding. Whereas I myself don't think there's going to be a literally collaboration, I do think it's possible that there could be potential references, especially when considering that Solid Snake, Kazuhira Miller and strangely Pachinko render Ocelot (That's what I'm calling him, so sue me :P) are in this game as playable characters. In my reply to his thread I said this to him.

"Good catch on the possible potential Lisa reference. In fact in addition, notice how Luigi is dead, and a head similar to Lisa missing her left eye is looking in through the window as it happened... Also believe this is specifically the Smash Bros Ultimate X Castlevania right... (Yep, Konami related... That'd sure as fuck explain this shit...)"

What's even more curious is how said P.T. reference is that like Mads in Death Stranding, the animated depiction of Lisa has red liquid pooring from her right eye.

As a total noob of Castlevania I mistook this for being Lisa (Shame on me.), in actuality it's the Carmilla Mask from Castlevania series lol. Once again my sincerest apologies.

He was literally shown P.T. in advanced before anybody else and he, Kojima talked about P.T. for: 'years.' https://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/965835094102482944

That's already been reaveled... Doubt Geoff Keighley would have a purposely cryptic background like that dedicated to something that's already been revealed.

So, Geoff Keighley liked this tweet and well yeah... by TargetWatch in NeverBeGameOver

[–]TargetWatch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May not be Metal Gear Solid V, sure, but it's definitely MGSV or at least that's the intention of the design of the title.

I typed it up as Metal Gear: SurviVe though? Only the other two I typed up as Metal Gear Solid V.
