Mark Delaney shares a funny anecdote about his
phone call with Hasan: "When [Hasan] found out about the translation of his surname,
he laughed so hard that he actually threw up"
If you look at the Video of "Death Stranding Directors Cut" I posted above, pause it immediately. It is timestamped at 2 minutes 27 seconds so that is the frame i think is a clue from Hideo Kojima. The photo should look similar to this photo below except Sam isn't blocking the view and the camera is looking directly at the Box after it is placed on the shelf.
When I originally saw the video, I thought it was strange that the camera paused looking directly at the box after Sam put it back on the shelf. As if to say LOOK AT ME, I'M A CLUE. It clearly got more video time that it deserved, same for the "RDY" before he entered the hall. On the side of the box it says "Handle With Love Fragile Express" and we will also include the letters "RDY" from the beginning of the video when he entered through door. I was thinking this was some type of Anagram to be solved. So I was messing around with these letters, trying to make sense of them. Trying to put together a sentence. I was able to find random separate words like "Silent Hill, Siren, Video, Ready, For, Release, Foxdie, etc" but was still unable to put together a structured sentence with the remaining letters. Then I started looking at bottom boxes below the letters. It looks similar to this red Photo below.
(^This photo is just an example of what to look at in the time stamped video. I'd post the photo in the video but I don't know how to extract photo thumbnails from videos. If someone can extract the actual photo from the death stranding director teaser so that i can edit it into this post, it would be much appreciated.)
So I noticed there are 6 squares, 4 of which are filled with pictures, 2 that are empty (Box 1 and Box 5 are empty) I think we have to solve the empty boxes via anagram or some other means. I think each of these boxes represent a game franchise. I think we are getting multiple games and we have been given clues for multiple different games.
The 6th box has a recycling sign. Which I think represents the word "Cycle or connection." It can also just mean remakes or remasters, but its Hideo Kojima so I'm thinking a deeper meaning like a continuous cycle. Maybe the 5 boxes before it are connected. If you look at the first Box and the box next to the cycle box which is the second to last box, they are blank. Maybe these games that are not made yet or they exist but we have to figure them out.
Let's assume one of the Empty Boxes represents Metal Gear. The entire Death Stranding Teaser was referencing Metal Gear Solid 2. From the Music to the ORANGE box which was in Metal Gear Solid 2.
So the second Box looks like a wine glass. Like a representation of Castlevania. But also, the chip in the glass looks like a stake. (Chip in the glass is reaching i agree.) But Igarashi and his Wine glass are known.
& I also noticed we are getting a bunch of castlevania releases. Castlevania Collection, Castlevania Requiem, and they trademarked GBA Castlevanias recently, rumored From Software Castlevania. But then how can CastleVania be connected to games like Metal Gear. Remember this g
uy?
Is it possible that Vamp is connected to Castlevania and is a real vampire?
https://metalgear.fandom.com/wiki/Vamp
Born in Romania, Vamp lost his family in a church bombing in which he was pierced by a crucifix and buried underneath the rubble for two days. In order to survive, Vamp fed on the blood of his family until his imminent rescue; this is how he acquired a taste for blood. According to
Solid Snake, his codename is not a reference to his vampire-like behavior, but to the fact that he was bisexual. Also, according to rumors, Vamp was the former lover of Marine Commandant
Scott Dolph.
[1] He later shared a "very close" relationship with Dolph's daughter, fellow
Dead Cell member
Fortune.
Found some interesting facts and similarities. Alucard and Vamp were voiced by the same voice actor in Japan named Ryōtarō Okiayu. Alucard and Vamp are both bisexual. Vamp uses throwing knives. Vamp is close to Fortune who also seeks death, as did Dracula. Kojima was involved in Castlevania Lords of Shadows 2. Vamp also referenced the Sorrow and dying once already when he was shot in the head.
The next picture, box 3 Looks like two hand holding a box. I'm assuming it represents Death Stranding but it may be something entirely different. I haven't played death stranding yet so I dunno about this one. But the Fragile Express box looks like it so Im going with Death Stranding. I think Death Stranding Directors cut is going to reveal a lot, possibly connection between different franchise.
The fourth picture is interesting. It is and umbrella with rain. My initial thought was Siren referencing blood rain. But I noticed something different about this umbrella sign. It looks like an umbrella but what is interesting is there is only one droplet under the umbrella instead of multiple droplets on top. So it look like it is raining under the umbrella on one side. Like a tear drop on one side when it rains.
I also seen a theory online about The Sorrow being Cliffe Unger in Death Stranding. I haven't played death stranding So i really can't say but maybe the Sorrow really is the guy in Death Stranding because there are a lot of similairities between the two.
Silent Hill maybe the last Box.
Unfinished post, will edit and update more later. But It I think Hasan maybe real and I think there is a huge collaboration happening between maybe (Hideo Kojima, Keiichiro Toyama, Igarashi, Hasan AKA underestimated nobody, From Software, Blue Point, Media Molecule, Konami, maybe more or less. Multiple Games, some are collaboration, some remakes, some are completely new.)
