I think that's because Kojima himself is literally/intentionally making them Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen rather than their own character. I believe they're entirely able to do modify their faces and stuff but it is what Kojima wants.
Yeah this is very much intentional, to blend cinema and games.
He wants the actors to be the characters fully. They're more than capable of mapping an actor to a different face mesh as we see with Guillermo del Toro and Nicolas Winding Refn's characters so this is 100% intentional
I know, I know. I almost mentioned that, but that text isn't even legible in the PS2 version, which is how it was originally meant to be seen.

I'd say that makes it just a bit of filler text on an otherwise unassuming prop. Die-Hardman is wearing the actual entire LUDENS mask.
Another common theme that we knew of before but seems to affect other characters as well is the crying, if you've noticed at the end almost everyone is crying, wonder how that all fits in to the story

Fragile cried after seeing the BT in the fourth trailer with Sam, and she can apparently see them as well, unlike Sam who can only sense them.
Probably related to the "Chiral Allergy" alluded to in the trailer from last year.
I do hope this isn't just a scene for the trailers like Big Boss turning into a skeleton in the mgsv trailer.

Sounds like these BT's are eldritch in a way that might be damaging vision of anyone able to look at them.
genius kojumbo has done it again
It might sound odd but i feel like his games are usually very lighthearted because of the absurdity, maybe the silly writing that presents itself as edgy and political. Maybe it's just an odd sense of humor on my part, but it's like the people involved are just having fun making some absurd shit. Younger audiences often just see the edge, sometimes older see the politics, but it's like kojima just finds it funny.
not anymore it ain't

this twitter thread is extremely long, but its absolutely worth the read. goes into detail about just how impressive this trailer is from a visual standpoint, and how the game will be too
the stuff in this thread is the kind of stuff that makes me want the game purely so i can look at how much detail they crammed into everything, its awesome
The trailer music sounds like it was made by Apocalyptica.
Honestly seeing that ingame after murdering your own men would've been abso-fucking-lutely spectacular
because it is one of their songs, this one specifically

love anything with Mads Mikkelsen and Lea Seydoux in so I'll most likely give this a go
I checked the trailer again, it did specify about the song. Such a nice surprise to hear an Apocalyptica song in this trailer.
How the hell did you watch the original trailer and instantly not read into the incredibly blatant on the nose obvious environmentalist message the game has

I expected something deeper.
The first trailers hinted at some kind of unimaginable horror, with that eldritch tentacles/post apocalyptic world/time rain shit.
Its a stretch to say that there were hints of an environmentalist message, or any political one.
It's been a while since I seen the first trailer, but didn't it have a completely oil slicked beach with dead animals covered in the oil and stuff? That's a pretty environmentalist message.
so am i crazy or does this look like it plays kind of like a way more polished Metal Gear Survive
How was it a stretch that the environmental message wasn't there? If anything Kojima is the polar opposite of subtle for better or worse. The first trailer was dead ocean life, with human hand prints being filled with oil on top of the oil-spill-like setting of the whole thing. You couldn't make the metaphor of it more obvious short of an on-screen essay talking about how pollution is killing the earth. Even MGS had 10+ games that told you on the nose that nukes and war are bad.
If anything expecting only eldritch monstrosities is a lot shallower, as much of a common view that harming the environment is bad.
I wonder what the significance of gold will be? It's shown up all over the place.
who gives a shit if it's political lmao art isn't apolitical
The game has always been an obvious allegory for climate change, since the first trailer
Climate change is very much like an eldritch horror humans have wreaked on themselves.
God Kojima is so fucking cool looking.
It literally says it in the trailer.

I have long believed that Kojima was planning the basics for Death Stranding during, or even before, the development of MGSV. The team who were left at old KojiPro probably knew the basics of it and decided to use what they had to create MG:S.
There are too many similarities between the two. Death Stranding takes place in a world of destructive rain while MG:S takes place in a world of destructive fog, there's a focus on eyes in DS' trailers and the portals of MG:S have eyes in them, both games are stories about creating connections and fixing the errors of the past. Obviously MG:S was made because Konami wanted a cheap multiplayer game to flog microtransactions but the developers who worked on it clearly tried to make something of it using what Kojima left behind, Death Stranding is those ideas fully realised.
