This trailer was awesome, but I was hoping it would clear up some of my confusion from the first trailer, instead it just left me more confused. This made me realize that one of the great things about the first game was the fact that I went into it knowing much less about it than other games. The way Kojima was able to re-create that same feeling shows how much of a master he is.
I didn't realize it's a Crow reference until later personally, but I think a lot of people here are too young to know who the Crow is :( I'm old as shit though.
Being blue is an allegory tro being either dead or on the otherside. I'm guessing the ship (Magellan) sinks into the tar to navigate undetectedf (the tar is linked to the other side)
oooo makes sense. Appreciate it! I like Death Stranding a lot but I never really looked further into the story than what was at face value. Guess i should start doing that now because DS2's story is looking like something I might get invested a bit more.
@@Runebee You might want to look up "Lucy's Interviews". Die-Hardman actor is reading the whole stuff out loud in a 1.5h long youtube video, which also contains the pre-amble that most (all?) players obtain. Some get parts of it. Very few get the complete set. It's the most hidden secret in the game. With such deep implications it changes everything you thought you knew (about who BB-28 is). The post real credit mini reveal is part of this. Several players notice the fact that once Lisa/Stillmother is killed -> Sam snapping out of the memories because BB dies -> the final cutscene starts out in the Seam. Did Sam just repatriate? But Sam isn't made a repatriate by Amelie - using doll tech - until the very last. How could this possibly be? Oh, Cliff is involved too - "can't go get myself killed anymore", memories from three wars, always able to bring the squad back, and have this mysterious C-section and obsession with dolls... Hmm... Forming this narrative, go watch the game again, several times over, to see how many well hidden clues actually supports this narrative. Don't forget a handful of red herrings are being thrown our way too.
If you were to tell me that death stranding 2 would feature Eric draven weilding an electric guitar that shoots lighting fighting against a samurai robot that laughs like a newborn child I wouldn't bat an eye 😂
On 1:32, they're bluish gray because the reflection/shine of light suggests that they are probably submerged on fluid that monochromes everything. Probably under a tar pit since the ship submerges to tar as shown on 4:29.
Kojima is a master at his craft, and his trailers are always absolutely stellar. And can I just mention the music? There was like 3 times in the trailer the Death Stranding melody gave me goosebumps.
At some point after the release of Snake Eater, Kojima became this Lynchian/Cronenbergian artistic cutscene director we call Kojimbo. "Same as it ever was" was that a Talking Heads reference? Kojimbo does like his 80s music.
The gameplay is unique, and the exact opposite of the fast paced modern games we know. You're in for several hours of complex cutscenes, heavy reading in the codex and a LOT of just "admirative" gameplay. If you have a PS5 or a good gaming PC you'll enjoy every pixel of your screen, + it's insanely well optimized. Just beware of the extremely unique gameplay
It's not meant to please you, DS1 was a bit more safe just to get the green light in order to get Hideo go Full Kojima in DS 2 and actually everyone but you is 100% here for it
This trailer is legit fucking great. I want to play the game so bad just by the looks of it.
Crow Troy Baker using Nevan from DMC3 to fight robot ninjas?! I'M IN!!!
6:36 Because Hideo Kojima really likes The Crow. And honestly, I can't blame him.

Higgs is now something between the Crow and DIO from JOJO BIZARRE ADVENTURES ;D
He's hot vampire and gay? Awesome
He looks more like the Crow than the Joker ... people need to know the difference heh
Most people don't know The Crow
Uncultured people@@Marukanitel

They're blue when the ship is navigating thru the tar, or they're on the "beach". If you recall, Sam was blue DS1 when he was stuck on the beach.
You may also recall that the upside-down rainbow does not have blue in it.
The old guy is Mad Max Director! I dunno he's name. But it's him!

I'm a bit afraid Kojima's going out of his way to make it extra weird and unique. I'm here for it though
Kojima is a master at his craft, and his trailers are always absolutely stellar. And can I just mention the music? There was like 3 times in the trailer the Death Stranding melody gave me goosebumps.
Kojima invented strand-type game the guitarist villain sub-genre. Respect that
The guitarist villain was invented by George Miller, also in this trailer haha
i think souls inveted strands.
At some point after the release of Snake Eater, Kojima became this Lynchian/Cronenbergian artistic cutscene director we call Kojimbo.
"Same as it ever was" was that a Talking Heads reference? Kojimbo does like his 80s music.
Its funny you mention Mimir cause Im pretty sure that was his voice while Sam was shooting the floating robots right before they showed Higgs
oh damn maybe! nice catch. everythign is connected. the death stranding way
Higgs' new look is ... interesting, but I'm glad to see him back!
I will totally be playing through DS1 before this finally

The end of that trailer really made me choke 😭 his BB was born? Oh my god...
Papa Norman.
Blue because they are in the beach world, just like Sam in the first DS.
They weren’t blue at the start, they just lacked colour
And here I thought the first game was crazy, this one even crazier, my mouth was open..lol
That's a weird trailer. I love it.
Higgs became Kefka
Casually laughing, but this game will be a masterpiece
Why are they blue? Did you play the first game?
Did you read the description lol
7:30 top right corner comment - Metal Stranding Revengeance 2 was just PERFECT 😂😂😂
Sam is blue dabbadee dabbady
1:21👻
Troy Baker
babies puking space ships? what?
just kojima things
yeah @@Runebee - besides that the cat thing [?] and the actual baby are my fave parts. I want to know what is happening.
i dont like it. its too anime this time. death strandind 1 was much better.
It's not meant to please you, DS1 was a bit more safe just to get the green light in order to get Hideo go Full Kojima in DS 2 and actually everyone but you is 100% here for it
What does this have to do with anime?
