I...truly cannot understand the hype behind this at all. I assume it's for the story, but we have no idea as to what the premises of this story even is. We don't know what story themes it will be addressing or what kinds of narrative it plans to tackle, other than they're presumably dark. On top of that, we're a full six months after its release, and not only do we have no gameplay footage at all (which unfortunately is an increasingly more consistent trend), we don't have any idea what kind of gameplay will be in this game besides the vague "action" label given to it.

Liking Hideo Kojima's previous work is all fine and well, but this feels like the equivalent of getting hyped just because he wrote some concept ideas down on a napkin.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

It's like your favourite writer releasing a glimpse of a new book, a world renowned singer letting us sample a new song, a chef letting you taste his new dish. 

There are people that are really good at what they do consistently and for many Hideo Kojima is one of them. I personally never got into MGS much but I loved Snatcher. it was and still remains one of the best games I've ever played due to its story, art style, graphics, music and gameplay.

This looks beautiful, the music is amazing, he has two brilliant actors in it, we know he can create amazing stories and world's and it looks intriguing enough, and given his track record the chances are this will be another amazing Kojima game. people who have loved his work have every reason to be excited. 

Obviously that isn't everyone, but still it doesn't mean people can't get excited. 

Anyone else love the music? It reminded me of stranger things and the 80's.

I actually completely disagree here. This is like a book writer, at most, showing you the cover art of their next work, or a chef letting you see the wrapper that will contain his next cheeseburger. Excerpts of books give us an idea of what the book is about. Excerpts of song let us know what the music will sound like and what the song will be about. A taste of a dish lets us know what the food will taste like. Death Stranding, meanwhile, is a game, and we have no idea what the game will play like. Not only have we seen no gameplay, but we don't even know what genre it's in. A teaser of some sort should be giving us a sense of what the major component of the medium will be like. For books, that's the story. For music, it's the sound and lyrics. For food, it's the taste. For games, it's the gameplay.

But even if you isolate the excitement solely to the story, we don't know what the story is about, what the general premesis is, what the major themes will be, or even much about the tone. To go back to the previous example, the average book excerpt that I can read on, say, Amazon, will give me enough information to tell you something about each of those. I don't think anyone can say that about Death Stranding's trailers, with the possible exception of tone, and that's no certainty given Kojima's...reputation for not exactly adhering to tonal consistency.

I have no idea what is going on in that trailer. lol!

Should we expect this for the PS5? This is Kojima after all hehehe

I can't believe what Sony is letting him do, did they hand him a blank check or something??
Shits going to be insane, not to mention I'm going to have to buy a PS4 Pro for this.

Looks like you control the dead with strands, it's in the name.

Each to their own I suppose. people take what they want from trailers, clues, CD's, portfolios etc. there is nothing wrong with being cautious. I learnt that lesson first hand with NMS. 

Love Norman Reedus, Mads Mikklesen, Hideo kojima.... and with technical producer mark cerny in there as well.
This game is gonna be insane.
