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.

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

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.

Which part was trolling, exactly?

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.

Yeup and it turns out the reason they were separate projects was to prevent the announcement of MGS 5 from being leaked too early.

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.

You forget though: NANOMACHINES, SON.

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.

There was nothing in the trailer to suggest that. The voice at the end could be another character speaking. Unless I'm missing something.

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

Hayter himself has confirmed he's not voicing Snake. Given that this character is Naked Snake / Big Boss though...

Evidentally, he actually tweeted that it had been a nice run. Granted, he could easily be in on it, but....

Big Boss. I haven't played an MGS since 2, and barely even then, and even I figured that one out.

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

Now I just don't know.

ANOTHER EDIT:

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

Wasnt Master Miller Solid Snakes Mentor? Wouldnt that hint more at Snake?

XOF? Fox? Foxhound. Weird.

And nevermind, all Big boss?

Miller is best buds / business partners with Big Boss in Peace Walker.

FOX vs XOF. They've already mentioned Fox and set up XOF as an ostensible rival.

Nice Bowie reference again. Diamond Dogs.
