Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
An incredible trailer shown off from a completely unknown studio in MolbyDick Game Studios who have a website based in Sweden... MGS?
OK, that would be tenuous, but they're coming up with other links left and right. http://i.imgur.com/jQV8v.jpg Alright, getting closer. What else you got for me, Internet? MolbyDick Studios was founded by CEO Joakim Mogren, where Joakim is an anagram for Kojima. - Continued play on "phantom", where "Two Phantoms were born" stands as the tagline for Ground Zeroes' first concept material. - Volgin lookalike wreathed in flames. - Hallucinating petals straight from MGS3's climax. - Floating figure with audible breaths muffled by mask, ala Psycho Mantis. - That fucking mullet. Then finally, we have this. 2 guys from Konamis VIP area at the VGA after-party https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A9kbvtICQAAleA9.jpg I'm pretty convinced. I was blown away by the trailer which is 100% gameplay and coming for 360/PS3... The trailer was blatantly PC though. EDIT: The grey haired guy is designer of title sequences who worked previously on MGS2 & 3 and the founder of Prologue films. |
This is totally MGS5 holy shit. Looks even better than the Ground Zeroes demo months ago.
|
With Ground Zeroes coming, I think this may be next-gen.
|
Not sure. http://www.mobydickstudio.se/en has it listed as 360/PS3.
|
It's also a blatantly obvious 'sock' for Konami, their words are LIES.
|
Where is this trailer?

Kojimas trolling going into overdrive now. I love it. |

This looks closer to ARG territory, from what I see. (for the slow: I'm not saying it's an ARG, just closer to what I'd expect than 'trolling.') |
I thought it was more trolling because there's no actual participation from people that I would expect in an ARG.
But I'll just post a topic now that might make you slightly happier, KK... |
Unless it's Volition suddenly all falling on their swords....
|
To be honest, this probably interests me more. I'm sure that, it being Metal Gear, I won't really like it. But it's interesting, no less.
|
It's officially the subtitle for MGSV now.
Starts off as an on-rail tutorial when Snake wakes up after a 9 year coma, but it's an open-world game. I'll try and find the trailer later, was awesome. Everything allegedly real-time and running on PC right now. |
Hayter isn't the voice of Snake :'(
|
yeah right :roll:
|
that'll be the day :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
|
Well he wasn't in the demo. It could be another way to try and fuck with us though.

Ground Zeroes is also V. Might need a merge.
|
take my money.

So is this set before 4? Because Snake was old as fuck in that. I did finish 4, and it pretty much wrapped it up as Snake living on the rest of his life, from what I remember.
|
Yesh. Yesh.

Nah, I think this is a Big Boss Snake one judging by Outer Shell and the kid in the cell on the Ground Zeros trailer who's name I forget. Chico? |
Like Mega Man/Mega Man X, the big connecting event begin the major MGS timelines was never presented. This could be it.
|
It's Big Boss for sure. You can see Master Miller wounded in the bed behind him. Also it looks like he's getting mindraped by a young Psycho Mantis and there's Horseback Ocelot galloping around all alive and well.

The gameplay footage also has another voice for Snake, but I'm still not buying it.

The actual story isn't the interesting part, it's their update 2. Quote:

ANOTHER EDIT: http://www.edge-online.com/news/koji...e-development/ Sounds like Ground Zeroes might be like Case Zero for Dead Rising 2. |
From what Kojima has been saying on Twitter, Ground Zeroes is the basically the prologue "tanker chapter" and the Phantom Pain is the "plant chapter"/main story. If they are actually seperate games I would guess GZ is more along the lines of Peace Walker rather than being a cutscene heavy numbered title.
|
If it's anything like Peace Walker, I want to play it. Just finished it a few weeks ago, and while it was pretty obvious at times that the bosses in that game were made to be played best in co-op, the game was still a ton of fun.
|
My take on it is it is Big Boss i nthe beginning, and he goes into a Coma for 9 years. During those 9 years Les Infants Terrible or whatever happens. Whatever led to the coma is probably more of the back story on why Outer Haven was made and why Big Boss went rogue.
Then later story with snake perhaps. |
All the prequel games have made it hard as hell to fit stories together

Kojima revealed a few things in a recent interview with Gametrailers and also confirms David Hayter has no voice acting roles in the game. The voice actor of Solid Snake for the Japanese versions in the series wasn't changed though.

Didn't even realise Big Boss was wearing Zadornov's hand. Awesome.
|
This Hayter thing is trolling.
It... better be trolling. |

I'm kind of annoyed with is being two games in a sense and it all being about big boss.
We are at a point now where its metal gear solid 5 and there was two pop games and solid snake was only the main character of two of them. We spend one as raiden. And now this is more big boss after snake eater and two psp games. I'm kind of over big boss. I get it. I was hoping this would be a new chapter in the series, not MORE filling in the blanks between snake eater and solid. At the end of the day, all this can do is bridge the gap between 1983 when he wakes up in a coma, and 1995 when he is back at foxhound and goes rogue to outer haven and snake defeats him. How much moe can we do here? I think one good perk is this game will feature gray fox heavily I bet. |
Quote:
In short, haven't they closed the story and the only remaining thing would be filling in blanks somewhere? I don't know, my interest in MGS4: John Cena Wins was limited (to a quantity of 0), but the impression I got from about 50 million people was that this was the way it went down. I suppose we could always have a new Raiden game or something. We haven't had one of those, recently. :shifty: |
Solid Snake should be dead after MGS4, but hey, nanomachines.
|
Right. I never like Prequels that come after the finale. Snake Eater was Perfect. Gave some insight and back story that set up the finale.
Just feels like this is another Cash grab, like the new Gears and God of War. If the story is done, Lets move on. New characters in the same series would be great. Just feel like playing this will be cool, but you know where its going in a sense. And for this to be the game that reivents the series, and goes open world and is the biggest game, only for it to fit in between a few games, seems silly to me. Ill still buy it because I am a fucking dork for MGS but seems like a weird direction to take. |

Obviously, Bateson was brought in at the last second to voice 47 after everyone complained. I'm expecting something similar to happen with Hayter. I'm not sure why games companies think that's ok. It never really happens on TV, does it? If a character has a well known voice, you keep that voice for as long as possible. Hayter, Batesons, Martinet and a couple others should all voice their characters for as long as they are available to work. |

The last major event is his heel turn really.
|
Will Kojima milk that for at least one more game?
I think he will. In the meanwhile, what happened to all that "stop making me make Metal Gear games!!!!!" shit? |
Quote:
And when framed in Big Boss' narrative, hes not really that bad guy anyways since it was all an anti patriots turn anyways. Just like the boss oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh |
I know he's not the 'bad' bad guy, kinda sorta the hero of the series. I felt his Outer Haven days were not explored and Peace Walker was getting to it, but I never played through that game. If it was covered then I can't imagine what else they can fit in between the Naked Snake and Solid Snake eras.
I'd think they introduce a new Snake at this point to take over the series. |
Metal gear (insert word) and star a new arc with a new character.
Just carry the espionage idea into a new series. I guess without snake or big boss it's not metal gear...I dunno. Seems late in the game to flip the script. Pun intended |
There's only so much you can tell about those two, and Solid is probably dead by now anyway. Big Boss may have stories to tell and Raiden is covered in another series altogether.

Is this true? I don't know, but aren't sales of the first spin-off rather lackluster? |
Revengance is going OK considering it was fucked through development. ANd no one likes the main character.
I would prefer a Massive Open World Metal Gear (insert random word for name) seriess. I think the Metal Gear name alone is good for major sales, especially if they are releasing on both consoles. |

I gotta say, I always liked Raiden.
|
I think my opinion of you has just lowered a bit.
Not popular outrage, either. He seems to be the male equivalent of that one girl in (pull random anime out of a hat) who is "cute and spunky" and borderline loli and all the guys inexplicably go crazy for... when in reality she's an overreacting, whiny voiced, pain in the ass and you just want to shoot her, not date her. He's not anywhere as useless as Hope, though, so I will give him that. And I'm only counting the Big Shell incident; not him being reformed into the second coming of Grey Fox. That seemed more of an attempted apology for making such a shitty character to begin with. |
The MGS2 swerve was shocking, yeah, but as a character I didn't see what the big deal was. When he came back in MGS4 and now with MGR he's just straight badass now.
|
I wish there were a way to see the entire CG sequence before he fights Solidus at Federal Hall, though. It's been over a decade, now. If a shitty Cloverfield monster can destroy NYC and not have a bunch of backlash about the action as much as the stupid Godzilla ripoff itself, we can see an insanely large boat run aground as it was originally intended.
|
You need to let that go, man.
|
When you go from playing as all that is man to someone who likely DVR's Martha Stewart, it's a bit jarring.
|
What if this is all a huge swerve and you play as Solidus in the new game.
|
And these events lead to him being elected President of the United States? Interesting, Figgy. Interesting indeed.
|
I like Raiden.
|
|
Not according to MGR stage one.
|
Again, talking Big Shell Raiden here. Undead Cyborg ninja badassery trumps whiny pussy Snake-lite. Even Aquaman would be great after such a makeover.
|
Funny you say that about Arthur because he's been beasting the last few years.
If you wanna talk about first appearance Raiden then I totally get the issues with him, I just didn't mind after cartwheeling down a flight of stairs. Plus it was said that it was an interesting way to see Snake's badassery from a third person angle. |
Once again David Hayter states he's not in MGS 5 and the whole thing isn't some sort of elaborate gag or joke to fool people like Kojima did to prevent MGS V from being leaked early.

Something's up, or it's obvious how well he and Kojima got on for so long. |
Read this and thought it was cool...
"Most likely it's because it's not the Snake we know. The end of the of the trailer states that 'V' is awake. Now put that into context, I is Naked Snake AKA Big Boss, II and III are Solid Snake and Liquid Snake, and IV is Solidius. Leaving V to be yet another Big Boss clone. At least that's what I think, and both Liquid and Solidius had radically different voices than Big Boss and Solid Snake." |
It clearly means that we should remember, remember, the fifth of November.
|
Was just shown a video "breaking down" the trailer, in which the two guys are so completely wrong about almost everything they see.
http://uk.gamespot.com/events/gdc-20...ml?sid=6406191 No embed option. For those who dont want to sift through the mess, Gamespot has gathered the following information from the trailer SPOILER: show Thanks for clearing that up Gamespot. |

I think it means Guitar Hero lives on as a mandatory mini game replacing boss battles.
|
That makes more sense than a lot of those assumptions.
|
Though the bit about

Or could, at least.
|
It's almost too rational to be a Kojima plot point.

Glad he was trolling.
|
Or he's trolling now in a rare double-troll.
|
Fucking knew it.
|
Kojima is saying that the games theme is a 4 letter word ending with e, but
http://s16.postimg.org/4khtnbbqt/theme.png The main theory that I agree with is that it's 'Ruse'. The fake Moby Dick Studios and the Hayter thing fall in line with that. |
Life
|
Well there was a horse. It could be Mare.
|
"Ruse"
"Fake" "Hehe" |
Keifer Sutherland is Snake. Confirmed on Konami's E3 stream.
|
Should have gone with Troy Baker.
|
Ugh
|
If not David Hayter, then Keifer is a great choice.
|
I guess.
