This cryptic text has provoked a number of fan theories as to its meaning, as has the entire teaser, which seems to be stuffed with riddles and puzzles (indeed,
Kojima hid the game's title in there as a number sequence, not expecting the teaser to be completed the day it was released).
Not exact matches
Kojima, who has been largely
hidden from public view since before the
game's release, did take to Twitter to share several supportive notes from fans and fellow developers after Keighley's announcement.
Speaking to Geoff Keighley at YouTube's E3 2016 live show,
Kojima announced Death Stranding will be an action
game (though he did reveal that last month), and that he is intentionally keeping details about the
game hidden from fans.
Besides doing commentary at a Metal Gear Online event, she appeared on
Kojima's «
Hide - chan Radio» program three times as a guest in 2006, giving her opinion on the Tokyo
Game Show and talking about turning 20 years old.
It bleeds into the
game itself, of course, not just background trimmings — the
Kojima attention to detail comes in how a guard will notice a rifle on the ground, dropped by his formerly - conscious comrade; it makes for a smelly Snake emerging from his
hiding spot in a bin, flanked by a swarm of flies (and able to be discovered easier thanks to his stench); it comes in the form of the utterly ludicrous boss enemies you face.
Hideo
Kojima, creator of Metal Gear Solid, was said to have got the idea for stealth gameplay from the vintage
game's use of defensive barriers to
hide behind.
Some of the developers of Metal Gear Survive give Hideo
Kojima the respect he deserves by
hiding a secret tribute to
Kojima Productions in a
game cutscene.
Kojima was actually hoping that
hiding the
game under these false aliases would help keep Silent Hills secret a little longer, but alas, he was surprised by all of the
gamers out there.
