This is strictly theory, inviting anyone with more insight into this to PLEASE comment below and let me know your thoughts.
In the new trailer with del toro, Del toro has the exact same baby As reedus does when he dies. I only think this is coincidence because when del toro and reedus both are standing they look up and see something, the “creator” . He then appears and the water level starts to rise. This then leads to the inanimate baby doll floating to Madds. Then the baby is awoken. When madds looks down at the INANIMATE object it comes ALIVE. This only leads me to believe that Madds (the antagonist) could potentially use most non-living things as weapons or for any personal gain of his own. This is only one connection of the many that could be made.
The second and the most influential take on the game in my opinion, is when reedus and the man with the baby initially see the stranger appear on top of the bus and point to the creator. The man is shooting the gun, however bullets are doing nothing, then he starts to get pulled from underneath. But this man doesn’t throw reedus the gun for protection. He throws him the baby. A fresh life. A chance to be reborn. Using life and death as a means to (Advance?) in a game. We see Norman die at the end of the flash and then a couple notable things happen. Norman is floating in a body of water, if you pay close attention you can see the handprints from the very first trailer ever shown on his chest and arms. Not as many prints but they are there, and they do Fade into the water as well.
This leads me to my 3rd observation and final. I don’t feel this one is as strong but who knows. Norman has the experience of being imprinted on again by these hands every time he dies and is brought back to life. In the very first trailer Reedus is holding the baby and crying with handprints all over him. He then gets up and looks off into the distance seeing 5 mysterious figures. This is almost word for word the same thing that happens in the second trailer EXCEPT when the camera pans over to reedus we see a door from a car underwater with a web cast over the United States. We also see a spider like creature pass over the top of the water while moving to reedus. Next reedus is then resuscitated while taking a glimpse into his throat and seeing the life he was given be reborn. Last but not least we see another glimpse of the 5 mysterious figures again.
In a interview, Kojima says he wants people to use conventional ways to play video games. He wants players to stop using the “stick” e.g. (Guns. Knives. Fists.) so much, and start using the “rope” e.g. (Planning, Surroundings, Working with teammates, Or simply just solving puzzles with clues.)
The games focus in my opinion and I think we all know is about life and death. You hear the same 3 one liners with different endings of how “life” may have been created. For example “Once there was an explosion, a bang that gave earth to time and space” - Literally, the definition of the Big Bang. The other two can be interpreted different ways but the focus is on the fourth statement. In the beginning, a bang created life. Is the 4th bang supposed to end life? Or are we recreating it?
Thanks for reading and again any theories on gameplay or any other insights please post! Thank you!
