Naked Norman Reedus engaging in a trivia challenge against a giant viscera covered baby perhaps? Who knows!

The gameplay in that trailer was... dull. It's the last word I expected to use to describe this game but there we are. That was a lot of walking through some pretty uninspiring landscapes that I've seen the likes of in plenty of other games. Pretty sure that river was Straight Outta Skyrim and the city reminded me a bit of The Last of Us. Hiking with a giant box on your back and crouch walking past smoke ghosts doesn't really feel like it's going to be all that fun either.

And yeah yeah, I know, it's just a trailer and they'll save some more of the juicy stuff for later, and Kojima is famous for his usual go-to "aha! you thought that was the game but it was not, in fact, the game! I am a GENIUS!" move. I think there were too many art assets for this not to be actual game footage and the aforementioned juice will have to be particularly tasty to be worth all that open world hiking. Either way, I can only judge it based on what I saw and what I saw, weird trout and Reedus's beautiful face aside, didn't really inspire me.
You worded this basically how I felt about it too. I just, I mean it seems interesting? Just not something for me personally.
