Game Awards 2016: Kojima premieres new trailer for Death Stranding

Guillermo del Toro? Holding a baby in a capsule? Sneaking around while soldiers march on by? Must be a Kojima game.

After accepting his Industry Icon award, Hideo Kojima premiered a new trailer for Death Stranding—featuring a near-perfect digital recreation of acclaimed director Guillermo del Toro. That, or a so-similar-it's-uncanny twin.

      It almost seems like Metal Gear meets Silent Hill, style wise. Which sounds amazing and would be the ultimate "fuck you" to Konami. I want this game so bad and I have no idea what it is.

        It's Kojima so people are excited because the stylistic weirdness has generally been pulled off well in his other games.

        It's Kojima, so people circle jerk him endlessly.
        The game will be over budget, late, weird and it'll sell about 1/2 what the previous MGS game sold.

      I thought Kojima was banned at game awards. Good for him though
