Death Stranding will not be at this year’s E3
Kojima has just announced via Twitter that Death Stranding will not be at this year’s E3 show. According to the game director they are now fully focused on development. He did however share a new image related to BRIDGES, the organization Guillermo del Toro’s character seems to be part of.
“Apologies to our fans, Death Stranding will not be @ E3 as we are fully focused on development. Pls see me with @geoffkeighley on 6/14!”

The official Kojima Productions Twitter added: Unfortunately, we won’t be releasing new info on Death Stranding at this year’s E3, as we focus in development to bring you the best.
Kojima will be at the event though to talk with director Jordan-Vogt Roberts about his career and cinematic influences on June 14th. For more information go here.

Does this mean that this E3 will not have a trailer or gameplay?
Seems that way.
T.T NOOOOOOOOOOOO

Although, if you see some weird indie game from a no-name studio get a trailer at the Sony event… well, you know the drill.
Well, at least we have a new piece of artwork…
Now the ball is on Konami’s court. I hope they’ll show us something Survive-related at least.
And just a (sorry) cr.ppy spider web after waiting for months… xD Muah.. xDxD:D:D:):).. (-_-)… Gonna be awesome… (or not, ;D) That adds so much, I think he has tons to show at this stage and hardly think he’d restrain himself. Cmon, just a spider web for E3 and that’s it !!!??? hem, he can’t be the TGA’s very kernel this time, gamescom could do but E3… is E3…
I will lose my shit if Kojima and Insomniac worked together to put a Death Stranding reveal/egg into the Spider-Man stage demo! Technically it would be true that ‘Death Stranding’ is not at E3! Kojima could put a surprise into Spidey. :p
You know all is possible with this Dude otherwise you would not have wondered (in the middle of Spidey would look a bit too Sonysh…)… I heavily doubt it but it is possible KP lay low this time.. Won’t believe it until I see it. ;D

“BRIDGES” font is unique, unless somebody can drive to one… :3
I see a pentagon and star maybe the The US Pentagon inside that web. Also the spider web on the badge looks like it originates from maybe the location of the statue of liberty. Food for thought and theories lol.
NY ? Not sure at all, NY feel slightly upper / more across the coast, I’d say the web origin is in DC. Perhaps the Pentagon itself, btw..

Ah yeah, well there you go. I wonder if the “Bridges” web and the tendril/tentacle like cables are connected.
You mean the black goo ? Yeah, I think there is a link.
The logo look as well quite oppressive. Like a deliberate ironic icon of some sort of enslavement system.
Let’s try that xD
Biometric Redundant & Interconnected Database for Global Enslavement System
BRIDGES… nah… xD
I suppose DC is perhaps the location of the “mainframe” where the goo takes the instructions… ;D

You get it Boss!
Now I gotta start work with this on my mind :/
Reading twitter comments is hilarious. People and theorists will destroy this art in the upcoming months xD
So this spiderweb also consists of strands right? But different kind of strands than the black ones?
Actually, this image has a two-layred RGB color model and if you uncheck green and red light in first layer and blue and red in second, you’ll see this strange cryptic message. Dunno what it means though. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bab8511f110db0abadd2bb2ea4a0df907d833fed1b0cc84cd91e83b747c10a8b.jpg
Obviously, it means that new Spider-Man PS4 game is also Death Stranding in disguise.
Wait a minute…
Spider-web design->Spider-Man->Emma Stone was in two Spider-Man movies…
And Kojima knows the producer, Avi Arad. 😛

Enormous post bro !!! ;D
Big women,big ships,big money and bigger posts….that’t how i roll.
I don’t want to be that guy, but this was expected considering how early in the development life cycle the game is. Kojima could of jus slapped together another teaser, but when held next to the full on gameplay trailers of its competition it would be safe to assume the games’ momentum would be slowed a bit in the eyes of the uninitiated. This was the best move: focus on work on the game and showcase something that would completely blow the competition out the water.
Also on to the picture. Looks like a Spider’s web – guess what Sony exclusive that has to do with spiders is coming out? Spiderman, yeah. Coincidence? I think not.
Sorry for bad language, but I call bullshit on that 🙂
Kojima loves to play with his fanbase, so there’s a high chance that he’s doing it again.
Guess we have to wait and see…
Arhey, 1000% Koss-rhol-bazy detected or something…
Exactly :)))))
Mah ro masrare mikoney, lamassab bad jens… ;D
NOOOOoooooo…. although I’m glad they are fully focused on development but still I wanted to see it . They better blow our minds sometime later then.
Fingers crossed for PSX2017
Yeah!
That art made me think in some kind of connection like in sense8.
Gonna miss that show,shame they cancelled it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKRyzRyCC7M
Activate your tinfoil hats, PythonSelkan released their new adventure just in time of this E3 cancellation xD Ahahaha!
Enjoy!
It’s funny how, after so many people were like “We should believe PythonSelkan about Death Stranding being Silent Hills because he got MGSV right!” they go and completely undermines any credibility they might have had.
The final piece in the puzzle.
Now it all makes sense, “Phantom Pain” is Gray Fox’s Origin Story, just like how “Snake Eater” is Big Boss’s.
Gray Fox’s Story starts with The Last Solid Game of the Series, and ends in the first Solid Game (Reverse…XOF) and Big Boss’s Story starts with the first chronological (FOX) game in the series (1964) and ends with the last one (2014…which also happens to be the year the first part of MGSV was released.
I don’t know about you, but i think that MGSV is the birth of Video Games and Movies merging together, it’s the beginning of the character who ended in the first “Solid” Game, both ends of the spectrum!
This explains why Jordan mainly makes them play MG1, MGS1 and MGSV to the screen writers, cause MGSV is the beggining and the end of the spectrum, the beginning for MGS1, and the end for MG1, cause it’s the last Game in the series, but the first Game in Gray Fox’s Saga!
I guess it’s safe to assume that the Movie will focus on Venom, and will start exactly where TPP left off, and will end with MGS1
Yes, i smell a Trilogy focused on Venom aka Gray Fox
First Movie: MG1
Second Movie: MG2:SS
Third Movie: MG:S
And this will bring everything full circle!
There’s a rumour or rather leak going around that MGS4 is being remastered.
Thoughts?

I think this is fake. I saw the similar image but with MGS3 HD remaster.
Yep, safe to assume they are fake.
Here is the MGS3 one by the way:
https://twitter.com/MGSMGN/status/872278787198664705
Easily fakeable, nothing proves this is running on PS4 even if all is suspiciously prepared to look so.. ;D
Sad news. That’s a bummer.
Offtopic, but just to cheer you up you should see this AMAZING fanart for a hypothetical MGR secuel. It copies the style of Shinkawa almost to perfection.

A lot more here:

Damn I was so hyped when I saw these just to be disappointed once it was confirmed to be fanart.
Now what the f is goin on here !? Tried to participate earlier but was doomed with mobile data in the train…
Is it me or you guys all Troll-Jima detectors getting like : “Suki-yaki-Koji-troll activity detected” !!?
I mean why the hell did he packed Ludens and Yoji almost in the same card-board box if just for tweeting this prank only 6 days prior to launch… xD
Part of me fear JJ is right, but… Cmon Boss, this is game mecca… If he shows nothing I’d understand, but stinks like 1^10000 % Hitori-noji-sushi trolling, ala Moby dick studio..
The answer is kinda simple tbh. For SIE America’s headquarters future marketing campaigns.
Remember the discussion when I said that Kojima need to show something significant or better to not show anything? Kojima’s decision is really simple here: He is very serious about Death Stranding development.
So yeah, my opinion still stands. Better to show off something significant than showing teasers with new actors. It’s not the last info for the game this year, but PSX 2017 or Gamescom is your best option for now.
I still believe that we will see something at PSX this year, but next year will be the year of Death Stranding for Sony and KojiPro.
All of this is sad, but game development is hard. Creating something unique, new, with top notch quality requires some time.
Hear ya but in between there is us… I won’t feel that disappointed if nothing happens, although he always keep trolling us like deep… xD Yet another occasion to do so, but you are right, let’s just wait and see…
Takin a risk saying he is fuckin with us at 1000%… At least we’ll perhaps have art-work or precious hints at Geoff’s stuff… Let’s wait..
Won’t swear it but pretty sure the corridor pioneer Ludens will be back in the studio after the event, and in the same corridor. Like an astronaut flying everywhere… ;D
Maybe they will put the Ludens statue on stage during the talk with Vogt-Roberts.
Wondering also if at some kind of Sony booth at the convention center… At least Yoji could drop some sketches, I mean. But they truly deserve space anyways, not easy to rebuild the best game studio ever and show-case stuff along… Only one guy can do that and will if he has a comfortable window.
To me it is still suspect / joke, but better lay prepared for waiting longer. ;D
It’s also possible that whatever Kojima was preparing for E3 didn’t work out/ couldn’t be finished in time, so he decided it was better to hold off for another time. Hence the late announcement. Otherwise Kojima could’ve just told us long ahead of time. That, or he’s up to something…
Totally agreeing here. Koijima is human and more than any gamedevs… The exact reason he is so linked to his fanbase.
Oh Kojima…

I know, this sounds a bit dumb. But my tinfoil system is activated right now at full capacity so…
What’s interesting is that the first black picture has “Death Stranding” name on it, but this one does not… I wonder why…
All my sensors are demagnetized even with my tinfoil titanium-tungsten alloy on my head !?… The troll-o-meter look steady though… I hope it is right. To me it sound too light to be true..
He perfectly knows that even any concept art sketch could help us..
This web sound way too insignificant to resume a whole E3. Plus that will be the birthday of his new game announcement… Nah I am not buying this at all… Remember how he played with the TGA’s teaser as well, faking that was all right after his speech and Geoff asking him “wtf” ? 😀 He knows all that. I can’t believe he won’t show anything / nada..
I truly hope his bull-shitting in savage mode…

the web is forming around 5 lines = 5 monolithic figures in the trailer :”)
This could also resemble an endless loop(P.T. CONFIRMED).. just like this one.. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9a87b5fff9d59a60ea417e58141c555496e73549b632800a4105f532b74c9850.jpg
Hmmm, interesting.
The community thanks you!
Watching Collider’s Wonder Woman Review, something clicked.
Gal Gadot is an Amazing Physical Actress, and her emote acting (facial expressions) is just as good, which explains why Hideo retweeted A LOT of Gal Gadot’s Twitter posts, and why she might be in Death Stranding, seeing how Hideo also praised Mads for his Physicality in his acting, and how that is an overlooked aspect in Hollywood, but it’s a great skill for Video Games!
Now, what would her role be? Well, most likely a supporting actress to Norman Reedus (they did worked in the past together) or maybe a Goddess, a Boss fight that would require a skilled Physical Actress like Gal.
I want that so bad.. more than emma stone and stephanie. Gal gadot is a better actor in every way <3
I would have to diagree there, Emma is a much better Actress, she has a lot more range, however Gal is a perfect Mocap Actress, she has the body language figured out, and an extremely expressive face, which is what you need for a Video Game performance, not voice, but facial emotions and body language, which is why Mads fits here perfectly, and why Kiefer basically gave the best performance of his career, cause these 3 actors are made for physical heavy CGI roles, it’s just that no one saw that potential in them before Zack Snyder with Gal, and Kojima with Kiefer and Mads!
Here we go people
DEATH STRANDING – 2 ?
confirmed, absoulutely. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4c162858e38d85ed5ec45034025877c713397522a210e418d945daf7ca8814c5.jpg
I noticed that in 90% of these fake leaks,everyone seems to have very crappy cameras.
Also no Half-Life 3, I’m disappointed…
Jokes aside…
Considering 4 key writers left Valve in last 2 years,I wouldn’t expect HL3 to be announced anyways(fake leaks included).
The level of hype for a HL3 is too great and can’t in no way be matched by the game and Valve knows it. The game was and probably still is in development in a dark lit room gathering dust and post-its. At this point the safe bet would be just to release Episode 3 in the new engine and have a good story along.
Easier to composite / hide faking artifacts in noisy images.
xD Sry could not avoid this :
http://www.speakgif.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/trump-you-are-fake-news-animated-gif.gif
Probably for the best.
Also, I thought spiders made webs in hexagonal shapes not star-shapes.
In all cases, the Del Toro’s pin has even 8 or more branches but as some stated somewhere, 5 branches could hint at the five floating dude of the first trailer..
In case anyone wants a recap of MGS

My tinfoil hat-system is activated again.
IMO, Kojima of course does not lie here about Death Stranding. I’m sure that he won’t show anything for that game. Reasons for that are known.
But what if Kojima will show something that he is working with “Prologue Immersive” x “Kojima Productions” collaboration?
Kojima wanted to make something for VR. Maybe he is making something indie for VR.
I think the situation is quite weird nevertheless. In such cases when they have nothing to show, they usually don’t even attend the event. Of course he will be speaking on various panels, so… But doing this with absolutely nothing to show feels a bit cheesy to me. You know at least some snapshot of the shading room with new elements, like the tank last time…
There is also Ludens presence… Perhaps a stand / booth where Yoji could draft and sign few stuff like at the comic con.. Or show some new 3D prints..
I can’t make it to accept we won’t have any scoop regarding characters or something..
He is going to E3 for a work, not for some vacation. Just because he has nothing to show us, does not mean he is not doing anything there. He is going to attend to various E3 rooms where he can test out the new games and the most important part, he is going to see what is trending right now. I’m sure Kojima has not a lot of time playing games these days, because he is working on a game, family and stuff, so checking out the industry today at this event is the best thing ever to catch up with everyone else.
Kojima Panel is just a small bonus.
Wait & see mode, here… ;D
“But doing this with absolutely nothing to show feels a bit cheesy to me” EXACTLY
For Europe, we’ll less suffer on Wed 14 night – Thu 15 morning, Boss’s discussion with Jordan is around midnight (00:15am for France).
Also the PS Conf may be worth (12 night – 13 morning) checking for possible Koji-pranks even if chances are low..

Point of view , point of thinking.
– personaly when I look at the web my logic see a SPIDER. I start my reserch and found this:
1) Spider and snake are remarkably similar in symbolism. Spider is creator;
she is death. On a Freudian level spider embodies woman. She is the
creative force, weaving the designs of life and fate.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DBUorfgWAAAK6jS.jpg
2) The infinity symbol meanings occur when we consider most spiders have eight eyes and all have eight legs.
The number eight is also a symbol of infinity or lemniscate (an eight turned on its side).
Also, the vibrational frequency indicates the meaning of
number eight involves cycles, passage of time, and evolution.
3) The spider awakes creative sensibility. She reminds us that the world is woven around us; we are the center of our own world.
4) Spider is the totality of the life cycle – the beginning and end.
5) Not only do spiders and their webs draw attention to our life choices, they also give us an overview of how we
can manipulate our thinking in order to construct the life we wish to live.
spiders do this by calling our awareness to the amazing construction of their webs. Fully functional, practical, and ingenious in design – spider webs serve as homes, food storage, egg incubators – seemingly limitless in their functionality.
