Keep on keeping on.
I'm not watching trailers or reading articles for DS. The more excited I am for a game then more I avoid everything about it as trailers now days (especially movies) spoil so much.
For most games I'd agree with you. But when it comes to Kojima, I don't think it really matters. I finished the first game and, aside from delivering packages, I'd have trouble explaining what it is about. After watching the trailer for DS2 I'm thinking "okay, that's even weirder, I recognize those faces, babies again I guess, and he's still delivering packages it seems."
I'd argue that it's important to go in blind.
I want to be the player when I first see or encounter stuff and not just be watching a trailer. Avoiding spoilers is a lost skill it seems nowadays with the amount of stuff they deliberately pack in to trailers.
Although it's Kojima so I will be watching, a lot :/
