Death Stranding; a secret Metal Gear Solid game? (Via YouTuber called TheTombPortable)-UNR
I know it seems like a giant leap to see Norman Reedus and a fetus and conclude it’s a MGS title but hear me out. Also, I’m just puking out what I saw from the YouTuber mentioned in my title, he deserves all credit for this.
The part of this very large video that very explicitly caught my eye is The Sorrow from Snake Eater. The Sorrow matches perfectly with a character shown in the Death Stranding trailer. This is kinda a big deal, but what caught me off guard was there is a scene where Naked Snake and Reedus’ actions are timed at exactly the same time. This happened after going through what looks like the exact same experience of near death, caused by the Sorrow. There’s way too much to this theory to write it out on reddit but I will attach the link to the original video.

"MEET ME IN BERLIN", CONNECTIONS and Kojima Productions recent tweets-UNR
Kojima Productions tweets this days some short stories (DSStories) about connections between actors, directors, seiyuu (anime voice actors) and logo designer who are involved in DEATH STRANDING "development proccess". But only part of them translated into English for now. Kojima Productions tweet:
"Norman Reedus is of course, a fantastic actor and famous celebrity. There are probably a lot of people that know of Death Stranding because of him. However, it may add a different perspective to Death Stranding to know about the special bond that Norman and Hideo have."
It's gonna be some deep bond I think.
4th trailer showed us REAL Norman Reedus (tattoo) and this detail might change everything (for me). I remembered semi-documentary short movie "MEET ME IN BERLIN" with Norman Reedus. Watch it if you haven't yet (15 minutes).
PLOT: After being hit by a truck in Berlin, a NY guy creates, by cell phone and at the hospital, a kind of connection with the woman that he was going to meet before the incident.
And for me - the main "thing" about this movie is CONNECTIONS. Not only with movie characters, but with REAL LIFE. I mean the real near death car accident back in 2005 in Berlin with Norman Reedus. The moment Reedus pulled out into the road he was struck by an 18-wheeler! Reedus was flung through the windshield and when he awoke his face was covered in glass. He had to endure operations that left him with four screws in his nose, a titanium eye socket and a face that temporarily looked like a "hamburger."
"One-eyed" child and "one-eyed" baby-doll which looks like Sam ('cause of scar and blue eyes) with some kind of iron nails stuck in it head.
Let's go back to the bond. Now Google Translated japanese tweet from Kojima Productions: "Kojima was watching a dubbed version of a drama and remembered Mr. Akio Miyabe who was plotting Steve McQueen's voice. Who owns the voice who plays the lead role? That was Tsuda Kenjiro. The actor Norman is close to McQueen. In the director, Sam = Tsuda's inspiration was born. Mr. Tsuda familiar with the voices of the villain such as Cairo Len of "Star Wars", Percival of "Fantastic Beast" (Colin Farrell). In one drama, Mr. Tsuda was playing the criminal of a protagonist who was unconventional but still human. It fell in love with the breadth and depth of the acting."
I'm not an anime fan, but i found anime "GANGSTA". Kenjiro Tsuda plays Nicolas Brown (awesome voice acting) - as I understand some kind of deaf criminal guy who has a large scar that runs diagonally from the center of his abdomen to his right thigh, tattoos and he's always seen wearing his tag around his neck. Looks familiar
It all looks like a spider-web. Many BRIDGES between movies, anime, music, social media and the most important REAL LIFE. DS = Norman Reedus nightmare? I don't know:)

Don’t get triggered-UNR
I replayed P.T. the other day and was again bowled over by how atmospheric and promising this short demo was. Then I watched the Silent Hills trailer and lamented the loss of what could have been the most terrifying game ever created.
I have to say I do feel some bitterness towards Death Stranding which in all honestly will probably turn out to be some substandard sci-fi shooter. I’m angry with Kojima, Norman Reedus, Guillermo del Toro and also the community for enabling this new IP.
I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but I believe Silent Hills would have been far greater and we have been denied what was shaping up to be an extremely memorable experience. I can see that a lot of assets and imagery from P.T. have migrated to the new project - Reedus, the baby, the hand monster. It’s depressing.
But, as is often the case with the gaming community, they are quick to forget, move on, and throw their parents’ money at whatever advert shout the loudest. Norman Reedus and his sideeyes acting will not save Death Stranding from the bargain bin and Guillermo del Toro hasn’t directed a decent film in over a decade.

Was Del Toro a standin for another character or is his character just voiced by someone else?-UNR
Someone said that he was a stand in for another character (sam would make sense since he has the baby but why do that if you already had Norman Reedus' body scan).
Wouldn't it make sense that they used his body and his character is just voiced by someone else? Maybe he is Scientist voidout man from trailer 4?

Norman Reedus and his cat named Eye In The Dark-UNR
Um, guys...is Death Stranding about Scientology?-UNR
Or is it at least drawing from Scientology's mythology? Sounds crazy, I know. But check out these parallels between DS and scientology. I gotta credit user/Siilk (idk how to tag him on this forum). But he and I were talking in another thread about how in the Japanese subtitles for trailer 4, the ghost things were referred to as "BT" and it was Siilk that suggested that could possibly be a reference to Scientology's "Body Thetans."
Body thetans are similar to the concept of self, or the spirit or soul. A body thetan or a BT is a disincarnate thetan (alien spirit) who is "stuck" in, on or near a human body, and all human bodies are said to be infested by these disembodied thetans, or clusters of them. Body thetans came about approximately 75 million years ago through a catastrophe brought on by a galactic dictator named Xenu.
Then I went down a Scientology rabbit hole.
If you don't know the (batshit crazy) story....Xenu was the dictator of the "Galactic Confederacy" who 75 million years ago brought billions of his people to Earth (then known as "Teegeeack") in DC-8-like spacecraft, stacked them around volcanoes, and killed them with hydrogen bombs. Official Scientology scriptures hold that the thetans (immortal spirits) of these aliens adhere to humans, causing spiritual and physical harm.
OK, so Xenu trapped these thetans in ice, and put them around volcanoes on Earth, and blew them up with hydrogen bombs. Which turned them into incorporeal spirits.
What does Iceland have a lot of? Volcanoes and ice.
Xenu - what does he look like?
Southpark illustrated Xenu to look like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/38/South_Park_Xenu.jpg
... and he is described on wikipedia as "vaguely humanoid alien with tentacles for arms." Sound familiar? http://monstersvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/death_stranding_alien_kojima_monster_norman_reedus_2.jpg
That's not all. In Scientology the goal is to advance to a state of "clear." Made me think of the 5 clear sky beings in trailer 4. And how do you advance to this state of clear? Scientology calls it "The Bridge To Total Freedom" or simply, THE BRIDGE.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bridge_to_Total_Freedom
So there's a BRIDGES reference.
But what of the babies in DS? How would these tie into Scientology? In a 1990 article the LA Times wrote scientologists believe that when a person dies—or, in Scientology terms, when a thetan abandons its physical body—they go to a "landing station" on the planet Venus, where the thetan is re-implanted and told lies about its past life and its next life. The Venusians take the thetan, "capsule" it, and send it back to Earth to be thrown into the ocean off the coast of California. They quote Hubbard as saying, "If you can get out of that, and through that, and wander around through the cities and find some girl who looks like she is going to get married or have a baby or something like that, you're all set. And if you can find the maternity ward to a hospital or something, you're OK. And you just eventually just pick up a baby."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thetan
What do you think? I think it would be very sneaky and a little brilliant of Kojima to draw from Scientology mythology because that's literally the last place most people would think to look when trying to figure out DS.

Theories about DS after e3 trailer-UNR
Theories about DS after e3 trailer
translated into Google translator and my firts post on reddit
My friend and I were talking about DS, e3, what would be a story, the world etc?! Then we went searching for things that were said and shown in trailer 4.
We want to post here so you can help us in some way.
About chiral, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirality), “An object or a system is chiral if it is distinguishable from its mirror image; that is, it cannot be superposed onto it. Conversely, a mirror image of an achiral object, such as a sphere, cannot be distinguished from the object. A chiral object and its mirror image are called enantiomorphs (Greek, "opposite forms") or, when referring to molecules, enantiomers. A non-chiral object is called achiral (sometimes also* amphichira*l) and can be superposed on its mirror image. If the object is non-chiral and is imagined as being colored blue and its mirror image is imagined as colored yellow, then by a series of rotations and translations the two can be superposed, producing green, with none of the original colors remaining.”
Mirror Images:
https://i.redd.it/67iiuf4avv311.png
https://i.redd.it/537tcokavv311.png
As some people have noted the necklace is inverted in the pictures and the blue and red representing opposites or asymmetry.
What also seems to be linked to one of the formulas unveiled in the "usbs" that Sam carries around the neck. Remembering, we are not physical, or anything like that, obviously this may be all wrong, we just find it interesting and we wanted to share.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_equation#Covariant_form_and_relativistic_invariance
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_fermion
“Human hands are perhaps the most universally recognized example of chirality. The left hand is a non-superimposable mirror image of the right hand; no matter how the two hands are oriented, it is impossible for all the major features of both hands to coincide across all axes.[2] This difference in symmetry becomes obvious if someone attempts to shake the right hand of a person using their left hand, or if a left-handed glove is placed on a right hand. In mathematics, chirality is the property of a figure that is not identical to its mirror image.”
As we perceive "hand" seems to be a recurring symbol... “The word chirality is derived from the Greek χειρ (kheir), "hand," a familiar chiral object.”
http://www.name-doctor.com/name-hekatoncheires-meaning-of-hekatoncheires-25001.html
This name derives from the Ancient Greek name “Hekatóncheires (Ἑκατόγχειρες)”, composed of two elements: “hekatón (ἑκᾰτόν)” (hundred) plus “kheír (χείρ)” (hand). In turn the name means “hundred-handed ones”. Hekatonkheires, (latinized: Centimani), were figures in an archaic stage of Greek mythology, three giants of incredible strength and ferocity that surpassed that of all titans whom they helped overthrow. According to Hesiod, the Hekatonkheires were children of Gaia (earth) and Uranus (sky).
Was it a connection with the giant monsters?
https://i.redd.it/gfdoe8icvv311.png
All this research started with "CHIRAL ALLERGY", and we started there. We were talking that maybe these DOOMS are physical manifestations in relation to another world. The allergy appears when the monster appears. One of the things that stayed in my head is the "tear", there are moments, that in all the trailers, that it appears and others do not.
Trailer 1 – Sam is clearly crying, but tears do not come.
Trailer 3 – Tear drops from Sam's face as he sees the 5 beings floating
Trailer 4 tear drops from the face of actress Lea Seydoux after the departure of the "monster" and / or because of the presence of beings in the sky.
In this madness, I went to try to find something on the internet, related to physics that contained "tear" ... it was a shot in the dark ... I searched for "quantum physics tear," I found myself facing this book... The Open World MANIFESTO by V. Alexander Stefan
The following text followed on the screen ...
https://i.redd.it/sdugwl3evv311.png
my head of conspiracy theory exploded, I remembered The Boss / The Joy and The Sorrow, characters connected in MGS3, it is worth mentioning that tear is an element present in The Sorrow. I know some of you have heard of the theory of MGS0 and maybe DS would be the story of Boss, in its early days, I really enjoyed following the neverbegameover forum (I still like lol), but maybe this book is a source of inspiration for Kojima from back there (Or not).
I was trying to search for keywords, death, time, space, big bang, walk.... some examples...
3 big bang

Death
https://i.redd.it/2tqahczhvv311.png
Time
https://i.redd.it/5nuhaimjvv311.png
I know it sounds silly all this, which is like interpreting shapes in clouds, but I found it funny and strange some terms to match the plot of the game.
Adam and Eve are recurring quoted in the book, came out a supposed leak in the plot 4chan, coming from an insider of the game. It can be spoiler because there is still no proof if it is true
http://i.imgur.com/DGmcujL.png
“he quotes that kojima gave codenames for the characters of Norman Reedus and for another person, they would be, Adam and Eve”
It can be the sources of inspiration for the characters before the creation of the name Sam.
There are also other theories involving religious symbols such as “La Mano Poderosa” or "The Powerful Hand"
https://i.redd.it/47rv72zkvv311.png
https://i.redd.it/l7e8fhclvv311.png

https://i.redd.it/gakqcb5rvv311.png
Theory of surgery and childbirth
https://i.redd.it/vfeb2acsvv311.png
On the cross-cut, I believe it may be a Christian symbolism; but there would still be a reason for it. My guess is that they are cuts in the belly. I think the horizontal is a surgical intervention, which added a uterus or something merely similar to the gestation or storage of the baby. And I think that vertical is a cut of a cesarean, in the east the cut is always vertical, and even in the West in cases of premature babies.
In the first trailer Sam is very worried about the baby and treats him with great affection. treated as a being and not an object
About gestation in trans men:
Robert Winston, a pioneer of in-vitro fertilization told London's Sunday Times that "male pregnancy would certainly be possible" by having an embryo implanted in a man's abdomen – with the placenta attached to an internal organ such as the bowel – and later delivered by Caesarean section.[4][5][6] Ectopic implantation of the embryo along the abdominal wall, and resulting placenta growth would, however, be very dangerous and potentially fatal for the host, and is therefore unlikely to be studied in humans
Ouroboros theory
https://i.redd.it/01td9mytvv311.png
https://i.redd.it/r77rs5cuvv311.png
While still talking to my friend he cites Ouroboros, I remember hearing about it, but I did not remember where, the next day I remembered, I had seen several of those images on the ARCHILLECT, famous twitter, which according to some, would be posting tips on DS or MGS0, I told this to my friend and he tells me that another term for Ouroboros would be, self fertilization, I believe that it coincides with what we researched and with the game.
My friend came up with the following idea: "I think the main idea is of the same eternal return. That is in macro form in the story of the game apparently, with the planet reborn and otherwise in Sam who always returns.
The whole game has it in a way. You die, you return to the checkpoint and repeat, but doing something different to move on, (the bite in the tail itself, the change)
I think that in death stranding this concept besides being in the narrative is something important in the gameplay, a main mechanic
I think the game is happening right now, in the bite of the tail of the world, of time. So with a change to return to the cycle. "

So pumped about Death Stranding... But seeing Norman Reedus reminded me of P.T., the most psychologically horrific demo that after completion unlocked a trailer for Silent Hills. RIP!-UNR
One of the scariest games I've ever played (even though it was only a demo). I would show this to friends every time someone came over. There would be 6 dudes in the same room and we'd still all scream like little girls. Thank GOD I didn't delete it after they announced the cancellation of Silent Hills. Who played through this game??

I understand that sometimes they just take it and there’s no issue but I’ve heard a few other actors talk about it like it was something they weren’t allowed to do.

About Lindsay Wagner-UNR
I was thinking about what she said. "You still don't know who I am, do you?" You guys probably know a theory from Ragnarox that says about Del Toro on that second trailer being literally Del Toro and not a character and all of the symbolisms behind it.
I was thinking about what Lindsay said and what if is the same symbolism? What if the REAL Lindsay is "her character"?
I mean, Norman Reedus said that Kojima tell him that "the players will be him", not just play as him or as his character.
Maybe I am wrong too, and what she says it's just something about the story itself and has nothing to do with symbolisms. But you all know Kojima.
Theory about Death Stranding-UNR
This might sound dumb as fuck but bare with me. In full transparency – I've never played a Kojima game so I'm solely basing this off the trailers we've seen.
Clearly the fetus plays a huge role in the game. It senses the "invisible spirits" (let's call them that). I noticed that the spririts have something like tubes that's connected to them. Much like an umbilical cord. Just like our friendly fetus has.
This made me think. Maybe the invisible spirits are unborn children turned into vengeful spirits.
Maybe that's why the fetus Norman Reedus is carrying can sense them. They have a connection.
In the recent trailer there were two lines that I feel could be applied to this as well:
"Take my hand in death" and "Take my hand in flesh" = Whether you're dead or alive we can connect.
Also we learned that if you die you can "come back". Maybe you come back as a fetus. Maybe that's how you share that connection. You've been to their world in death.
Anyway, that's my theory. The fetus can warn Norman about the invisible spirits cause they're also fetuses. Or at least they were.
Now I know this might sound batshit bonkers but, hey, the game is still weird as all fuck and shrouded in mystery.
Also to clarify I don't want to turn this into an abortion debate with my theory. It's a weird ass game with weird as trailers. This was one of the few things that lines up my head to create some sort of connection that let us start putting the puzzle together.
Everything I think we know about Death Stranding now-UNR
I was really just looking to put my ideas down and have some people tell me some things I haven't noticed or bounce some ideas around.
So from the trailers and Kojima's statements:
We know some creatures have inhabited the planet now. We see them moving around via handprints, we see them floating in the sky, we see them killing that dude in the 3rd trailer, and we see them take Norman under in the newest one.
Norman Reedus' character is Sam Porter Bridges (and from here on I will refer to Norman as Sam), "the man who delivers". In the last two trailers, his suit has said Porter down the side. This has a double meaning as I see it. His middle name is Porter, and he is a transporter. The E3 gameplay shows him traversing several terrains while carrying boxes or bodies on his back. This raises several questions for me though. How many people are still alive, who hires him, what is his compensation, is he carrying things to his own base like a scavenger, etc. Lea, who he speaks with in the newest trailer, appears to be a transporter of some kind as well. Her suit says "Fragile Express" and she asks if he would like to work with her. So she must run her own company or something.
His whole convo with Lea is pretty interesting but I don't understand it all. She says some things I honestly just can't make out at first. It sounds like:
Lea - "...the man who delivers. Tears. (???) So, you have tools like me? What's your level?"
Sam - "I've got the extension factor but I think you've got me beat."
Lea - "You can see them right?"
Sam - "No but I can sense them."
I really don't know what to make of this conversation at all, but it seems like whatever they are talking about, they help you to detect the creatures.
Revealed by the newest trailer, if Sam is eaten by one of the creatures, it causes something I couldn't make out the word they used, but it means that he'll come back to life but it will leave a huge crater where he died. In the 3rd trailer, Sam woke up in a crater. Just before this, Sam is in an underwater scene passed out/dead. I believe Kojima has said this underwater sequence is essentially the game over/restart after a death so it makes sense that he woke up in a crater now.
Rain is actually called Timefall and it speeds up time for anything it touches, which causes people to age rapidly and plant life to grow rapidly. In the newest trailer, Lea eats some bug that supposedly keeps the Timefall from effecting her for a day.
In trailer 2, we see planes, tanks, and soldiers but I'm not sure that any of these are actually good things for Sam. You can see black streaks coming from the planes, and the soldiers escorting the tanks all appeared skeleton like. Could possibly all be under the control of the creatures. The one difference is Mads Mikkelson. He appears human but is covered in black sludge. All of his soldiers are skeletons and are all connected to him through black ropes. So he controls them and he appears to be a villain.
The babies appear to be the power source for Sam's shoulder light, which helps to detect the creatures. So the babies act as a battery of sorts. Del Toro also plugs into his baby in trailer 2, but he has no shoulder light. It just caused the incubation pod thing the baby was in to light up. In trailer 3, when the 2nd man is about to be grabbed by the creatures, he throws down his baby and the shoulder light dies. Then Sam picks it up and his activates. I've seen speculation that when you die, the baby is a clone and Timefall will age it up for you to play as, but that doesn't seem like the best interpretation to me. How would Sam keep getting babies (he wouldn't resurrect by a bunch of clones right)? How would the Timefall stop aging the baby at exactly the right moment? How would Timefall work if the baby is stuck in the pod when you die? It seems too problematic to me.
In the newest trailer, the picture that Sam finds looks like it has him, Lindsey Wagner, and an unknown third person (sister? daughter?). But Lindsey looks older in the picture than she does at the end of the trailer in her reveal. So is she an apparition or has she somehow found a way to get younger, while Timefall makes everyone/everything else older.
Kojima and Wagner did an interview post E3, where she said that she wouldn't have done this game if it was just another violent gun game, and Kojima said that you could brute force your way through, guns are available, but that is not the way he intended for the game to be played. We have only actually seen two guns so far (not counting skeleton soldiers). In a trailer, a man had a pistol and killed a man being taken by creatures. In the gameplay at E3, Sam appeared to have a gun when standing up on a cliff. It is shown at about 3:08 in the trailer, right after the toenail scene. He also appears to be looking down at a settlement or possibly his own settlement.
And that is basically everything I've noticed or think that I've put together. Anyone noticed anything else or think I've interpreted something the wrong way?

Why I still have hope for The Walking Dead-UNR
-
Norman Reedus’ instagram post all but confirmed that The Whisperers are going to be in season 9. If you’ve read the comics, it’s a pretty great storyline and should be entertaining if it’s done well.
-
Gimple is out. Thank god. I used to stand up for him, even after Carl was killed off, but after hearing about how he was treating some of the actors, I’ve lost some respect for him. I have hope that Kang will turn this show around. She has been there since the very beginning.
-
With Rick most likely going to be gone by season 10, the show won’t be so restricted to the comic book storylines. This will give it more room for improvement and more of what the fans really want.
My prediction: 2 or 3 more seasons after season 8. But we have to give it a chance for a newfound freedom and talent added.

Finding out the meaning of Jameskii's Fortnite OP-UNR
Okay, I'm pretty new to Fortnite skins so bare with me as I try to figure out the characters and what their possible story is.
This is the OP I'm looking at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqNg4MRBeNE
First off, this is giving me a lot of BnHA S3 OP vibes.
We open with this purple eyed Reaper-like dude who gives off a villain impression. Though it's kinda natch for an anime OP to begin with the villain.
After the title, we are introduced to the heroes, who, from their generic looking skins (they have the same green uniforms), are probably rookies and therefore the protagonists.
We see a bit of teamwork with the riding on rockets trick and building a bridge as they're running, showing how unified the team is.
We cut to some other characters who have a slightly stronger significance to the heroes but aren't exactly mains. This includes the mentor (the second last character shown before the song hits) and the ensemble darkhorse/Froppy (the teddy bear) before we cut to the heroes kicking ass.
After that, we see the mentor and a tomato dude partnering up. Perhaps tomato dude is a veteran like the mentor. Teddy Bear throws a dance party.
We cut to the Mentor standing with other characters who may be the seniors (think the teachers from BnHA or the Jōnin from Naruto), followed by who are definitely the villains with the coloring and the JoJo Rumble font.
Rocker girl seems to be akin to Himiko Toga, either Fish Dude and Astronaut would be Purple Reaper's second in command, and Purple Reaper is the main villain. We see a cut where it shows who looks like Norman Reedus and Purple Reaper, possibly hinting that they were one in the same before some big disaster happened in which Norman became Reaper.
Then it comes with a final clash between the mentor and Reaper, who, given the connotations of contexts, seems to be a mashup of Kakashi vs. Tobi and All Might vs. All For One. With the song saying "before I say goodbye to you, one more last fist bump", it's probably implying that this is the mentor's last fight before he dies.
What are your opinions? Like, what do you think was happening in the OP?
Revisited a video (link in post) trying to make sense out of it more as we know a bit more...-UNR
So in the video which is from TGS 2016 Kojima talks about the sticks and ropes.... what is interesting to see now is that the 2 pictures shown have Norman and Mads fighting it out as a normal action game would (single player campaign for DS i think) or create connections through co-op (online aspect), the second picture with Norman, Del Toro, Kojima and Mads. When you use the ropes system, one doesn't need to fight it out, rather solve stuff by making connections. Norman Reedus said something along the lines of, "this game isn't all about killing everyone, No! Its the opposite!".... so i think through making connections other than sticks, and by using the ropes/strand system Kojima is gonna implement, one can complete missions in a very unique way. Kojima does mention that he is going to implement a new kind of co-op system that introduces ropes, although sticks are still gonna be there. I think the 2 pictures represent more and now that we kmow.more about the game, what do you guys think can be made out, out of this older information?
P.S. i am revisiting all old DS news before E3 to freshen up all the info we have had so far, so freaking excited :D

[Arts] - The Walking Dead: Norman Reedus responds to Andrew Lincoln exit with Instagram post-UNR
I may have noticed something from the trailers that I've never seen speculated on before.-UNR
I will be using this video with all three trailers linked in one video as my time reference points.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx4Fq-pKAzM
First off, this is purely speculation, and it MAY have been said before, but I have not seen it yet. So I apologize if that is the case.
Now, I'm going to segment some key times and discuss what I noticed below. I will number each scenario 1 through 4.
1) Here at 5m16s we see the businessman connect to the artificial womb.
2) Here at 7m5s we see Mads' character connected to four soldiers, then promptly disconnects as he sends them out.
3) Here at 12m28s we see the other guy detach his womb in haste knowing he's about to be taken by the creatures. I'll go further into why I've linked all of the moments pertaining to the wombs and umbilical cords further down the page.
4) And finally, here we see Norman's character Sam pick up the womb after the other guy has told him to run.
Something I need to clear up before we start. It is clear that all of the trailers may be taking place in one world. It's also possible that there is "time traveling" involved. But we cannot rule out that the first and third trailers and the second trailer may be different universes. For the sake of this explanation, let's go off the notion that it is one world and different eras, or different times the trailers are set at. But ultimately it should not matter for this as there are so many contradictions that can be made for nearly every argument about the game lol.
What I think could be a very prominent part of the game's weapon systems and or combat, is the ability to use these entities connected to whatever the umbilical cords come out of on the host. As you can see in #2, Mads has four soldiers connected and uses them for some sort of task, more than likely to do something to the businessman. Kill him, rob him of the baby(my guess), take him as a hostage, etc.
My thought is that this mechanic might be used as a weapon, for resurrecting from death, to thrive in the world. It would make sense that there would be some sort of upgrade system involved with the umbilical-like attachments. For instance, in scenario #1, the businessman attaches to the baby womb with his cord, he knows the creatures are coming and attaches to save his life in case he is killed. Shortly after is when Mads' character sends his weapons after him.
As for #3 and #4, I'm not sure what to make of these. The baby womb is handed off to Sam, there's an explosion, Norman Reedus ends up underwater with the funky fetus inside him, then shows back up in the first trailer's location with the fatigues on and the baby in hand. This is where my speculation dies down a little because I have no fucking clue what is going on between the different eras, Mads' character doing the similar hand gesture, all the weird shit that connects the trailers together.
It's all life/death, forward in time/back in time, different worlds, just a crazy mess of what's going on.
TLDR; Basically what I noticed is that the umbilical cords may be up-gradable, can be used as weapons AS WELL as a new life, etc. This has to be some part of the core combat mechanics in the game.
Then again I could be completely wrong because none of the trailers made any sense.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
