Have we completely dissected what this means yet?
What the fuck does LUDENS stand for?
ludens is latin for playing, I thought that was obvious
Looks like The Fury from MGS3
>The Fury Spin Off?
>>338189018
it's latin for "hack"
>>338189170
Probably something more along the lines of ZoE with weird space shit
It's Latin for Not-Snatcher
>>338189018
it stands for more childish "references" instead of anything original or smart brought to you by the industry's most overhyped meme developer who hacked life until he could sell his concoction to both dudebros and neckbeards at the same time
Luden is greek for horse fucker.
It's a play on words, since Kojioma is both a brony and he fucked Jewsten
>>338189018
Literally Unable to Die, Ed is Now in a Suit
You play as the skeleton of a poor guy who was enslaved inside a power armor prison and sent to the moon
>>338189018
what does this mean?
>>338189018
Legendary
Unrivaled
Developer
Enters
New
Stage
It's an acronym for Kojima being one of 3 auteurs with any talent in the game industry and now he's head of his own studio aka new stage.
I really hope their game is a reimagined Enders Project. That shit looks so fucking amazing. I want my biomechs.
>>338190886
Kojima said his game will "appeal to fans of uncharted and the division"
I doubt we're getting a mecha game
>>338190531
>auteurs
stop trying to push your meme on this board
>>338191007
But MGSV was mechanically superior to both of those games
>>338191007
He didn't word it like that. He said that it's an action game; a rather phat descriptive umbrella
>>338189018
The suit looks like the Skull Unit's suit, kind of.
Is it done with the Fox Engine or something? Does Kojimbo still have the rights?
Kojima is a redpilled as fuck motherfucker
>>338191101
I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not a retard so I have a vocabulary.
>>338191101
Not that guy, but Kojima is one of the few people in the gaming industry who you can actually use that word in reference to. Your memes aren't strong enough to hinder basic communication.
>>338191334
>hehehehehe....simpletons...
>*instant transmissions away*
>>338190886
I don't even care if it's biomech or whatever, I just want something that plays like ZoE2, but deeper
>>338191474
Are you seriously greentexting me because you consider a word like auteur advanced vocab?
>>338190335
Yoji Shinkawa likes them.
>>338190335
What do those even do? The suits in 5 were lined with them
hey who turned out the lights?
>>338191296
Not a chance. Konami's gonna sit on the engine and not let anyone ever use it again.
>>338189018
MAJOR TOM !
Isn't he talking about it right now at that Nordic thing? Is there any footage of it yet orrr?
>>338189018
Right in the middle of the image, it clearly says:
>Extra Vehicular Creative Activity suit
Kojima is making his own version of Space Engineers.
It's symbolic maaan.
Homo Ludens is "exploring new ways to play." Like an astronaut exploring new frontiers in video games.
Pretty sure that's all that guy is, he's just a company mascot and not related to the actual game they are making.
>>338192121
>space engineers with NANOMACHINES
This could mean absolutely nothing and be completely separate from the actual game they're working on. This could be just a mascot that shows up on the intro.
>>338192178
Could be both. Kojima used the FOX logo as his company logo. It wouldn't be surprising to see this weird thing make an appearance in the game and be the new face of KojiPro.
>>338189018
>What the fuck does LUDENS stand for?
The answer is on kojima website you dumbfuck
>MGS V comes out
>It's an excellent game and nearly all of /v/ shits on it all the time because it didn't fit their retarded headcanon expectations and ended up merely being up an excellent game instead of the Eternal GOTYAY to change video games forever
>Kojima says he has some image that might be related to a new video game
>/v/ loses its shit and talks for hours about this model on multiple threads
I seriously don't get you people.It's almost like you fags are way more into the idea of discussing video games, imagining them and then shitting on them than actually playing them
>>338191760
That's what i thaught. But what if Kojiprod makes a new engine that is basically not-the-fox-engine?
>>338192559
It's almost like you post this in every fucking thread, you fucking autist.
>>338192429
This. You really need to think outside the box with Kojimbo
>>338192693
He's right, to be honest.
>>338191007
I wish people would read articles and learn to discern context instead of just regurgitating /v/'s kneejerking.
>>338192559
Problem is, mgsV was shit.
>>338192972
t. someone who spent 100+ hours in MGS5
>>338192972
t. someone with bad taste
>>338192559
I thing mgsv was fantastic GAME.
It was a terrible METAL GEAR SOLID. It left me craving more intense and crazy boss fights, relaxing codec conversations, long exciting cutscenes and more hijinks.
MGSV was what would happen if they took the METAL GEAR SOLID out of peacewalker.
>>338193060
>>338193095
Not that guy, the fuck is this "t." meme?
>>338193162

>>338193208

Okay.
>>338193114
The only difference between codecs and tapes was that you could move during them.
>>338193314
t. redditor pretending to be an oldfag
>>338193353

Is that how this works?
>>338193405
t. a guy starting to figure it out
>>338189018
What ever it means, all I know is that thus game is going to be disappointing
>>338193405
Nah, you fucked up.
>>338193446
Okay, thanks I guess.
>>338193318
That's not entirely true. I felt the tapes were much less immersive. There's something that I fucking love about being able to call your support and have a conversation in the middle of a shitty situation.
>>338192559
You're right and I have a similar opinion but no one will admit it. Every MGS gets shit on when it releases "wahh raiden" "wahh top down camera doesn't work in the jungle" "wahh literally a movie" etc etc.
>>338193514
It's finnish for "regards"
>>338193543
That's fair actually. Boss battle codec calls were sick.
>>338190886
So dragons confirmed?
>>338193650
Do you remember fighting Psycho Mantis for the first time and not knowing the trick? You're only option was to survive and talk it over with the Colonel until he figured t out.
Stuff like that is what I missed.
So his name is Ludens Tom?
>>338194225
Oh shit
>>338191532
>still no competitive ZoE styled Mech Fightan Game
>>338194225
This is shopped. I can tell by the pixels and from having seen quite a few shops in my time.
>>338189018
>this suit is called the EVA suit
what did he mean by this?
>>338194225
major tom, kojima really does love him some bowie
>>338189170
>>338189018
>First two people ever wearing the EVA suit in real life were women; 1965 and 1984
>The boss was the first woman in space; she wore a white spacesuit with a gray kneebrace. The knee isn't shown here

>Exclamation MGS mark on the suit
ITS HAPPENING
>>338195739
>thinking this is MGS related
kek I hope you like pachinko
>>338192559
What there was of MGSV was very good. But the game wasn't fucking finished. Not Kojima's fault, but it's understandable why it dissapointed a lot of people.
Why is Joosten wearing a Kojipro shirt?
I hope she's in the game!
>>338189018
VR multiplayer game with a CTF mode
Looks like that Doctor Who skelly
>>338196943
She's Kojima's girlfriend/pet horse, of course she'll wear his company's shirt
LUDENS = SONY ALWAYS WINS
>>338198045
>horse meme
fag
>>338198158
Why are you posting farm animals?
>>338192559
That is actually precisely the case.
>>338193514
It's a spurdo/int meme because t. is short for terveiset which means regards
>>338189657
disregarding your comment, that Varia suit design is badass.
On that subject, i hope they announce a new Metroid game soon. Its been too long since anything good has come out. I miss Samus :'(
>>338189018
What about some of the rest of the text on the suit? Extra-Vehicular Creative Activity? I know what EVA is, but what does the creative mean?
>>338198132
It's coming to PC afterwards.
>>338189018
Are you fucking kidding me??? does none of you visit /v/ anymore. The game is set in the Boris and Arkady Strugatsky's Noon Universe.
Ludens are born human, but possess latent mental powers far beyond those of normal humans. These abilities (referred in the text only as the Third Impulse System) can be activated and developed, a process that takes several years. It is not clear from the book who initiated the first Luden.
Ludens view themselves as a distinct race, and claim to have "different interests" from humanity at large, in some instances claiming to be above traditional human morality. The Ludens routinely conduct experiments on humans and alter their minds in order to further their own means, but according to Daniel Logovenko in "The Time Wanderers", over ninety percent of Ludens have no interest in humanity.
The Ludens operated on Earth in secret for less than one hundred years, searching for possible recruits. Any human who possesses what the Luden call "the third impulse" has the potential to be trained. On average, this impulse occurs in less than one person out of 100,000. At the time of their discovery by Maxim Kammerer and Toyvo Glumov, the Ludens on Earth numbered 432. The discovery of the Ludens caused such a shift in human understanding that it was thereafter referred to as "The Great Revelation".
The progressors want to make amends after a terrible time, forgiveness and misunderstandings have previously been the problems and higher intelligence is not always easy, ludens can translate feelings and senses from alteria energies, transitions, and put them into direction and words. They are good, with overpowering demands of correctness for evolvement and progression.
- There is a great movie called "Hard to be a God" based on that universe, it follows the story of a progressor on a humanoid planet.
>>338201604
',:3
>>338201604
Strugatsky's progressors are agents of the Institute of Experimental History (IEH), in some cases indirectly controlled by two Committees for Contacts with Other Civilizations (COMCONs). They are working only with human civilizations, apparently, not daring to "progress" non-human races, like Leoniders or Headies, with whom Earth prefers to keep a full scaled diplomatic contact. Aware of a possible xenophobia, progressors usually employ stealth and secrecy to work undercover, allowing only a few brightest and most trustworthy individuals on a planet to know their true background.
>>338189018
Is kojima making a doctor who game?seriously though, a decent space zombie game please
>>338201604
>The game is set in the Boris and Arkady Strugatsky's
The Roadside Picnic (S.T.A.L.K.E.R.) authors ?!?! FUCK this game will fucking rock
>>338201604
How do you know its set in this universe? Is this a good thing?
What you wrote sounds interesting, but out of context i don't entirely get it.
>>338202301
its clearly a space pirate game
>>338202401
>How do you know its set in this universe?
He doesn't
Metal Gear would be a better franchise without magic or stupid gimmicks.
>gigantic fire whale chasing you in the first 5 minutes
>people wonder why MGSV isn't as popular
>that one guy who absorbed bullets in a jacket of bees
>a fat guy on rollerskates
>a 100 year old sniper who absorbs light for energy
100% nanite technology would be best, instead of magic shit. Essentially like MGS1, and maybe throw in a little Splinter Cell.
>>338202447
What are space pirates without space zombies anyway
>>338202581
has anything other than Firefly done space zombies well?
>>338202506
That's why i asked, to see his reasoning. of course he can't know for sure.
But I'm curious. it seems like it could have potential to be an unique game.
>>338202556
MGS1 had all sorts of "magic" shit in it, you fucking retard. That's the appeal of the series.
Splinter Cell is so fucking boring I'd rather play nothing than suffer through one of its iterations.
>>338202301
that was the only doctor who episode ive seen and i really enjoyed it
are there any others like that?
>>338202806
>MGS1 had all sorts of "magic" shit in it
I'm the retard? Cool story.
>>338202862
He's kind of right. There was a lot in the early MG games that wan exactly conventional.
>>338202862
>I'm the retard?
Don't answer that
>>338203132
>There was a lot in the early MG games that wan exactly conventional.
If you aren't a samefag, that makes 2 people in 2 posts make an extraordinarily stupid claim, without giving any examples to back u.... Oh wait nevermind, this is /v/... carry on.
>>338189018
Look like some sort of classical Greek astronaut, could be a very fun and unique aesthetic.
>>338202808
I haven't watched it for a few years but there were some other similar ones. They seemed to do one or two episodes per series that broke away from the general formula and did something different.
Check out the weeping angels episode
Hey guys, remember all the magic these characters used?
>>338203491
>psychic powers aren't paranormal anymore
>>338203347

>>338202401
>>338202745
>>338201604
probably because he tweeted the movie in February the anon mentioned "Trudno bit Bogom - Hard to be a God", that is set in the noon universe where the futuristic space exploring Ludens are mentioned.
I also read somewhere that he is basing it on soviet science fiction. However what I read on his site, the Ludens (Homo Ludens / Homo Faber - the playing man / the creating man) seem to be an alter-ego of himself or the gaming community in general, he just took he futuristic exlporer imagery from the books.
>>338203564
Psychic powers are one thing.
Bulletproof bees, frog soldiers with dislocating joints and sunflower snipers are another.
>>338192559
Honestly let's drop the memes. MGSV has a lot of people shitting on it, sure. But it also has alot of people loving on it. Factor out the people who are just shitposting for the sake of it and it rally isn't that bad. MGSV was HUGE on the board and once the"overrated overhyped its shit" meme started going even people who don't play the series that much hopped on.
>>338201604
interesting, thanks anon
I watched Tarkovsky's STALKER based on Strugatsky's novels, have to watch Hard to be a God too.
>>338203280
Not samefagging.
Well, its been a long time since I've played a Metal gear game. But wasn't there a dude with psychic powers? And in MGSV there's the fiery dude and little mantis guy, and Quiet (who they attempted to use psuedo-science to explain, ie she's basically a human plant)
That's about all i can remember right now, but yeah, I'd say there are things in the series that are definitely, at the very least, unscientific.
>>338203625
can someone decipher these japanese runes?
>>338189018
I just thought it was a render of KojiPro's icon character. Didn't think it would be about their actual game.
>>338203280
It's not our problem you are this new. People were displeased when literally every answer to every supernatural shit in the series ended up "nanomachines"
>>338203862
Tarkovsky's film has almost as much to do with the book as the Stalker series
>>338203625
>set in the noon universe where the futuristic space exploring Ludens are mentioned
Ludens are part of the Noon universe indeed, but they are not mentioned in the book
As my Noon Universe knowledge goes, pretty sure they weren't even discovered during the time of the book
>>338189170
>guy in spacesuit
>it has to be The Fury

/v/ just loves to be contrarian. Actually, go to any board on 4chan and you'll find people trying way to hard to have "different" opinions. Not that there aren't people who believe this stuff...
MGSV was a pretty good game. Definitely different from the older ones, but hey, it did it well so why complain? There are some people who don't like it for the fact that it deviated tho.
>>338204378
a game where you play as a space pirate in the noon universe
>>338203625
That's actualy the truth.
It is not a game, but the logo for his new studio. Kojima productions. It was inspired by the Ludens in Strugatsky's Noon Universe. It depicts the "Game Creator" (Homo Ludens - The playing man).
There is no game behind it. http://www.kojimaproductions.jp/

The main character is going to be Gas Eel, his evil twin is Plasma Eel, who are both clones of Large Leader (voiced by Kiefer Sutherland)
There is also a third brother named Gaseous Eel, and a body double of LL named Toxic Eel who is killed in Inner Hell by a young Gas (real name Kief)
Also, LL and Kief have a rival named Repeater Dingo who briefly worked together with Toxic Snake and his friend, Senso Coors, who in turn helped found MSF (mercenaires sans frontières) and CC (Crystal Cats)
During his operations in Iran and Toxic Snake (who was previously an MSF Scout, although his running isn't anything particularly special anymore because he lost his right leg in an attack on Father Outpost orchestrated by Skin Head who wants to destroy every language except English, and had to get it replaced with a prosthetic)

You have to remember that ork antics are only funny from an ork perspective though, the Space Marine game made it pretty clear that to anyone else they look like horrifying acts of atrocity
Like dashing children's heads against walls and laughing like it's friday night standup
>>338202862
There was a psychic who reads your mind as a major gameplay element and early boss
>>338205048
>>338189018
You think Ludens is a sort of future war where deceased citizens are used to generate a obedient super soldiers?
>>338207708
wasn't there a short story about how the AI in the suits of dead humans kept attacking alien planets with the skellingtons still in them?
>>338189115
Kojima may have gotten the wrong idea. Because his slogan for the game is "From Sapiens to Ludens" which he probably wanted it to be From Sapiens to Man. But made the mistake and instead called it Ludens and not Homo. Which he probably got from the book Homo Ludens, "Playing Man."
Or the word is on a grander scheme and we went from Neanderthals to being played by the bigger man.
>falling for the kojimbo ruse again
you will be ashamed of your words & deeds
>>338189018
>>338189018
There's a chance Kojima is making a Cyberpunk Dystopian IP with a heavy Communist backround
>>338208641
"From sapiens to ludens" is the motto for his new studio.
It's all about the concept of "exploring new frontiers of gaming".
>>338208523
Not sure. Buts that's a story if I ever heard one. It would be wild if that was his idea.
The only thing I find strange is the name of suit and the person himself isn't holding a weapon. So there seems to be something special about Ludens.
>>338209187
