First A.I. https://twitter.com/thegameawards/status/1331996760969932801 Why do I think this could be representing Artificial Intelligence? Easy first off it's the only one of the three that features inter-changing code in the background of the figure representing programming as one would either it be video-games and or artificial intelligence in general.
Second Singularity https://twitter.com/thegameawards/status/1333207477106577409 Similar to something seen in The Matrix we can see The Game Award's logo as a pulsing red light. The video extends outward with the Red E of the logo being the first to appear on the screen and then followed along quickly with the rest of the letters forming: 'The Game Awards' zooming out to reveal a thousands of monitors in the background. A network of Artificial Intelligence.
Third God https://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/1335599882409676800 With the combination of Artificial Intelligence and then the networking singularity that replicates and grows said consciousness beings to form a deity like figure in red. Also again taking inspiration from The Matrix movies the background would appear to be as if it was heavily inspired by Zion. In addition Geoff Keighley also tweeted out this.
Okay so why is any of this significant? Silent Hill or Silent Hills in this case is ruled by a Goddess dressed in all red. The upcoming Silent Hills is specifically code-named: 'Project 0.'In MGSV there's a tape of Dr Strangelove explaining she'd helped put the world in the palm of: '0's' hands (William Blake: Auguries of Innocence.) What has Kojima Productions and co been doing to particularly celebrate the one year anniversary of Death Stranding? (Norman Reedus taking his and reuploading it to Instagram changing his palm into green cosmos.) Yep they uploaded each-other's palms. Without getting too side-tracked after explaining this Dr Strangelove explains how essentially she's going to turn The Joy A.I. into a rogue artificial intelligence weapon via buried code which she metaphorically described as an egg and that if found then cracked nothing would be left to stop The Joy A.I. from becoming its own GOD being able to create a world the way it envisions.
Considering that Dr Strangelove when talking about going along with: '0's plan' it's only logical to assume that she's referring to The Patriots S3 network. With the code she'd buried her creation The Joy A.I. probably ended up as the core of said network and then overtime as the network grew becoming more sophisticated as well as self-sustaining the A.I. began to spread itself via the network slowly ending up as a technological singularity. Through endless access to almost infinite knowledge of The Patriots S3 network The Joy A.I. at that point was more than just a machine and via the accumulation of the singularity began to form as an entity within the network. A woman dressed in all red. The Red E. An Extinction Entity.
Upon becoming the singularity, i.e. The Red Entity and now fully entrenched in the global S3 network it then merged with any device throughout the world. Making itself whole. Eventually it found its way into the Kopplethorn Engine and through its growing self-awareness began to construct varying worlds that it envisioned to be: 'Perfect.' Worlds where let's say she'd be both President and God simultaneously with none of the characters understanding how or why nor the very foundation of said unknown entity's powers.
In the reality of Death Stranding we as Sam Porter Bridges linked a mysterious Red Entity that was simultaneously President as well as God and made a chiral network of social strand system become: 'whole.' The question is though: 'whole' in what regard? Death Stranding ends not as you'd think during the credits when Sam is wondering the beaches and musing over the EE's words in his own head, but with him specifically having a flash-back where he's somehow able to relive Cliff getting shot and then experiencing his own death via Bridget accidentally killing the Bridge Baby/Sam too. The scene ends with the mysterious Red Entity with seemingly unending powers resurrecting him and then continuing the loop of Death Stranding's existence. Followed with Sam placed into the seam as the baby and we see Luden, Moon ending with a glowing sun in centre. (Fun fact in the open-world despite it literally being broad day-light you literally cannot see the sun anywhere and if you pay attention with each knot that's connected Amelie seems to emit a bright sun-light throughout the game.) Not to mention Amelie, i.e. the Red Entity is the only Death Stranding character that had the poster with the sun-halo and nobody else.
In Silent Hill lore Red God is representative of the Halo of the Sun. Throughout Death Stranding in addition to the sun seemingly being nowhere to be seen and only emitting from the mysterious Red Entity we can see frequent sun-halos that often get mistake for being rainbows. How do I know they're mistaken? Cause Amelie, i.e. the female dressed all in red Entity as she's emerging from sun-light upon being introduced to Sam and Player for the first time is when this shows predominantly.
Now BRIDGES is a referred to as a cult by Sam and with this allusion in mind would explain why if Death Stranding is a world of an envisioned A.I. incapable of accepting the finality of death thus destroying space n' time in its wake consuming it: 'whole' via an endless replication of never-ending death as a data-point. Then with that in mind it'd further explain why for instance the medics were dressed in all red too as well. Symbolising Red Entity's complete control over reality.
Ain't it funny how during the Extinction Event the blue side of the EE inferred Amelie was from another world and that in that moment the beach Sam was now standing up was the beach the blue EE opened the: 'Other Side.' In addition when you're first introduced to Higgs he specifically says that he's: 'tied to all of it' as: 'God's Particle' going on to say: 'This world/That world' and pointing out beforehand how he'd a: 'Good connection to the Other Side?'
What if this chiral Other Side was indeed the gates of the Silent Hills dimension and what if Red Entity was the singularity from that: 'separate reality?'
Okay so now I've clarified. What could this mean for the strange TGA teasers? I think it's showing precisely what I'm describing and a big reason for this is that Geoff Keighley in an interview has already said this year's TGA is heavily inspired by Death Stranding. Hence why it's taking place across three individual cities around the globe streaming online. London, Tokyo and Los Angeles.
Keighley says he previously played with the idea of having the show, which has taken place at L.A.’s Microsoft Theatre for the past five years, in a different city, similar to the Olympics. Once it became clear that the state of the COVID-19 pandemic still wouldn’t allow for large, in-person events by December, it enabled a different kind of opportunity.
For inspiration, he points to last year’s “Death Stranding,” Hideo Kojima’s hit that saw the players reconnecting the United States.
“I was like ‘well, maybe we could do this on a world scale.’ So that was really the impetus for the idea — we would never normally be able to do that, to have three cities live. But I’m like, ‘this is a unique year of circumstances, so let’s try that.’ I think it sends a really great message, and I think it’s what I’d like to do more of.”
Furthermore in another interview Geoff Keighley also explained that the upcoming show was going to be based around the premise of the multiverse and the idea of video-game or multiple digital realities being all inter-connected with one another.
“We’re looking into ways for people to experience the show in different ways,” Keighley said. “We want people to feel part of the show and interact in different ways. We’re thinking of the ‘metaverse’ and the idea of people gathering online to celebrate the show.”
That metaverse idea — the universe of virtual worlds that are all interconnected, like in novels such as Snow Crash and Ready Player One — isn’t just science fiction anymore. We’re going to have our own metaverse event on January 27.
Keighley added, “For the future, we want to explore interactivity. We’ve always done things on Twitch with the voting extension, and other ways for the community to be a part of it. But I think you’ll see our show start to become more of a 360 conversation or real-time experience with the audience. How do we turn the show into a game? Or show the awards inside a game? What is the metaverse version of the show?”
Death Stranding was about the idea of the multi-verse and how it was connected to an elusive mysterious Other Side the player for some reason never gets to see.
Are we about to now see the Other Side to Death Stranding and witness the birth of primitive A.I. growing in consciousness and through becoming a technological singularity in cosmic horror fashion transformed into a supernatural eternal Red God?
Well only you can decide that. Thank you for reading. See you over on the Other Side.
