"I'll Keep Coming." | Death Stranding, A Kojima Productions Thread

I really have no idea. The requirements are R&D 40 and complete every mission. Are you sure it isn't there in the costume section?

Yeah, just checked. R&D team is level 49, I've completed every mission not labeled [EXTREME], [TOTAL STEALTH] or [SUBSISTENCE].

I haven't finished all the deployment missions, though. Could that be a factor?

Also guys, here's what I was talking about.

It's Ground Zeroes Big Boss... aka the real Big Boss.

I know that doesn't mean much, but... I feel like at some point we were meant to play as him.

Damn.

Roasted.



I guess I'll have to get around to it. Let me just finish up with TPP and I'll get started.

You sure it's not there? It's below where the MGS1 skin is

A pair of empty spoiler boxes. Just what I've always wanted.

Is no one else interested in chasing this conspiracy? To find out what happened to the game pre-launch?

Something definitely went on behind the scenes. Tomorrow I'm going to look through every piece of released material to see if I can find any more clues.

There were several scenes gutted from the game, in all 3 E3 trailers, including:

-the training of the child soldiers ("Sins of the Father" Trailer)
-the waterboarding at Camp Omega ("Sins of the Father" Trailer)
-Demon Snake walking over what appears to be a village of some sort, burnt to the ground, with a Vulture feeding off the remains of a corpse ("Nuclear" Trailer)
-insubordination at Mother Base, where Snake forces one of his men to stab him ("Nuclear" Trailer)*
-the interrogation of Quiet by Kaz and Ocelot ("Sins of the Father" Trailer)*
-the choking of Quiet ("Sins of the Father" Trailer)*
-the silent scream of Demon Snake ("Nuclear" Trailer)
-burning flames around Demon Snake ("Nuclear" Trailer)

Either these things are hidden in the game, or completely gone. I fully expected the burning flames and silent scream of Demon Snake to be the climax of the game's story, signalling Big Boss's descent into "hell". Too much to hope for? I disagree, because that's what the trailers specifically implied we'd be doing.

[* = may be in the game, unsure ATM]

Not to mention, this:



This is Big Boss. This scene takes place at the end of the game. But it's the real Big Boss, not Venom Snake, which the gif seems to imply.

How? Well...

1. He has his bionic arm.

and

2. He has the shrapnel in his skull.


Now, they may have just shifted assets around to mask the conspiracy, but they, to my knowledge, haven't done this anywhere else.

I'll keep digging. Something's going on here.

Yeah, 100% sure.

How many side ops/dispatch missions have you completed?

Could be that some of the scenes shown in the trailers were just to generate hype and were never intended to be in the game, like Halo 2's commercial where Master Chief jumps out of the ship he's in.

To my knowledge, there weren't nearly as many cut scenes.

It's one thing to generate hype, it's another to completely mislead your fans on the game's intentions, and then underdeliver on the mystery.

Adding more fuel to the fire:

The scene might be in the game, but I have yet to come across it.

But what's interesting is the Ahab, NOT Ishmael, is smoking real cigars. Hmm...

I bet that was intended to be part of the birthday cutscene.

Was it? I haven't seen that scene yet, I want to be surprised.

LOL omg quiet is such a badass x333

That was a cool scene though.

Quiet has saved my ass a couple times honestly.

The only thing that made me laugh was Ocelot's face. He wanted to be in there with Boss.

I know, right? Who showers with their clothes on? That's just weird.

what pisses me off the most about the quiet thing is not just kojima saying "once you see why, you'll regret your words"—because did i honestly expect him to be able to write up some great justification? no, no i didn't

what pissed me off was what he said directly before that—he was talking about how he designed her character to be an antithesis of other female characters who are over-exposed—sort of like a jab, or a parody

which is still stupid, because that's one of the most overly-parodied things ever, but i was willing to say, "hey, maybe kojima's actually onto something here—maybe, just maybe"...

SHE GOT BURNT ALIVE!!!!!

SHE HAS TO BE NEARLY NAKED TO SURVIVE!!!!!

You're right. She is the antithesis to those kind of characters.

There's just no point to it. There's no  character development that justifies it and adds intellectual value to the story.
