Tora,

Can you relay a message for me? This hype campaign that Konami has launched has been going on too long. It's been cool, but enough is enough. Please drop the subject until there has been something substantial to announce. I love Metal Gear and have been playing the series since I was a child playing Metal Gear on Nes at age 4. That being said, I think the hype train is done. Gone. You're no longer attracting people that aren't acquainted with the series. I may just wait until this is a bargain bin title as a result of the PR campaign. I'm so sick of being teased. You've let loose enough. This wouldn't be a big deal if you didn't announce this big to do to announce a big advancement in your technology to show essentially existing footage. Then you dedicate 20 minutes of what should have been an hour of TPP to Silent Hill. Knock it off, as a long time fan I'm fucking pissed.

hahaha. what the fuck? bro, relax. yesterday's showing a little disappointing as obviously most of us were hoping for new information, but LMAO @ the idea of waiting to buy the game because you don't like the PR campaign.
 
If immortal-joe can confirm (and Tora doesn't mind me sending it at a later date), I think that would be a great idea. The "quickie" was already very nice, I'm curious what we could do with more time. Maybe we could even add a message that conveys MGS GAF the best? I can already imagine some of the suggestions...

I don't mind, just should be in my hands before staff here leaves for TGS (so, probably at least a week before TGS to be safe).

Anyone that gets salty will be served this gif:

I'm losing my shit at this... By far the hypest MGR gif I've seen in a while (unabashed Blade Wolf fan).
 
Holy crap, what an oversight. Our team didn't set it up, so I'm yelling at our digital guy to fix it (or talk to the people who set it up originally to fix it) right now.

Originally I was just annoyed that one was in caps and the other isn't. You're absolutely right, the real name of the game is METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES (caps intended).

Thank you Tora!

OH GOD this feels so right now.

I could be wrong, but wasn't there some screenshots up on steam as well with playstation and xbox button prompts? I suppose it doesn't really matter, though.

I can imagine they're just place holder images. There probably will be native PC screens on there later.
 
Same issue exists on PSN with MGS2 and MGS3:

No : in the Peace Walker title after Metal Gear Solid either! /picky

Peace Walker platinum?

Only have MGS3 platinum and GZ 100% myself, but they're really easy. Had a lot of fun with 'em though.

Except for the kerotans on the runway in MGS3
 
Yeah I've always thought this was weird. This is the case for a lot of Japanese games. All caps.

Capcom bucked the trend earlier in the year. ;)

Changed name Resident Evil 4 / Biohazard 4 -> resident evil 4 / biohazard 4 4 months ago
Changed store name Resident Evil 4 / Biohazard 4 -> resident evil 4 / biohazard 4 4 months ago

At first I thought the change was weird, but then I remembered it's how the name is stylised on the cover:

Guess everyone is calm after the TPP stream, time to save up our energy for TGS. It's been quite a ride, the good thing about this crazy ride is that I got to talk to a lot of you guys (mgs-Gaf) and have a better overall sense of the mgs-Gaf great community indeed.

Thank you friend.

That MGS2 and PW platinum was a couple years in the making. Got halfway back when the HD collection came out, then decided to get the platinums due to MGSV hype.

That's right! I actually find it odd when it's all lowercase as opposed to CAPS.
 
Now that it's possible to make custom MB emblems, we should have an MGO gaf clan. I'm 90% sure that each clan will have their own
Mother Base. It seems like an obvious feature to add.
 
The Metal Gear games have some great trophies even if they need a crap ton of playthroughs although I always like an excuse to play more MGS. I just got done with the MGS2 platinum with those pesky dogtags which was the last I needed to platinum all the MG games. It pains me that Ground Zeroes doesn't have one. Well, pain is a bit dramatic. Looking forward to what The Phantom Pain has to offer. There has to be at least one horse shitting trophy, I can guarantee it.
 
/v/ already has an emblem apparently. Or at least a new MGO icon for their group.

Ours will be more badass and should be in line with the two word, first letter same as second word name. Similar to MGO2 map names (Urban Ultimatum, Tomb of Tubes) and that trend is going along with the examples they gave us in the demo at GC. Anyone care to come up with some names?

I volunteer to make the clan. Having some managers would be fantastic. If the prior MGO is anything to go by, the leader can set certain people to help manage the clan.

lol @ that name. Does /v/ stand for "virgin" ? Why would they chose such a name ?

edit: here are some names:

-Gaf Industries
-Arms Matter Consortium
-Destruction sans frontières
-Arendelle Corporation (!)

/v/ stands for.... VIDEO GAMES!
But yes, it can also mean virgin.
 
Wow, I didn't actually expect the name fix to happen so soon. Thanks Tora!

These are very exciting times.

Very impressed with just how quick a response that was. If only every company discussed around here had this kind of connection with their game's community. Keep on keeping us in the loop, Tora!
 
Hello there brottthhhhhherrrrrrr! -----^

BTW... No one asked Kojima anything about MGO?! They'd better release some info soon, since the MP base invasion is out. Please prod em Tora.
 
Where the hell is the new NEVER BEFORE SEEN Metal Gear merchandise Konami was talking about??


Also in all demos, doesn't matter if he shoots goats or soldiers with the tranq gun there is no dart in them like in MGS2.

Can the FOX engine not do it? or why the fuck are there no darts in peoples faces?...

This honestly bothered me when I noticed it in GZ!

Off-screen footage is available, but nothing official as of now! (That will change soon, in all likelihood.) Tokyo Game Show is right around the corner, and would be a perfect place to show off the game's new multiplayer. Kojima Productions is set on not letting us see anything past the first Soviet outpost in Afghanistan, and probably with good reason - avoiding spoilers, of course! So, unless they are going to show us a third variation of the same mission (unlikely), I would expect to see some Metal Gear Online. They've been building up to it since E3's gameplay demo. IT'LL HAPPEN!

They're really tight lipped about MGO. They won't give us anything other than "we're working on it".

Give us some info Tora, we won't tell!

My question about the guns was one of the top voted on FB and they didn't answer it. If they didn't want to pay royalties, why couldn't they just say so? They keep dodging the question.
 
ToraShiro, are there any plans to get international reprints of MGS4 and Peace Walker Master Art Works down the line?

Maybe because the game doesn't take place in the real world....and It's all just a hallucination of Grey Fox!
 
How is Kojima working on both SH and TPP at once? I keep hearing how ungodly busy he is, yet now he's juggling two projects. If TPP doesn't get a release date by TGS, I'll be shocked. I'm expecting a March release. I wouldn't be surprised if MGO is holding everything up since that's what they're so tight lipped about.

Kojima is an outstanding man. He said in the stream he sleeps 4 hours a day... 4 hours! He tries to watch a movie every day and if he's on a event like Gamescom when he comes back he watches 3-4 movies at once.

He said they are giving TPP the final touch so a March 2015 release is very plausible.

Also if TPP wasn't close to get finished i highly doubt they would have announced Silent Hills that early.

And for the release date... if we still don't get a release date at TGS there is still hope for the VGA's in december.

MGO... i have no idea wtf is going on. Kojima posted a pic of him and the LA staff a few weeks ago... seems like a very small team. I'm sure they get some help from japan but still.
This might take some time but hey i can't stress this enough. Take your sweet time with it, just don't rush it!
 
Tora, please tell Kojima i am very happy he's working on something new xD

I told myself when I saw the teams first being made not to join. Whatever team I join you'll already know is the truth and then it wouldn't be any fun. :|

#TeamInsider

Joining TeamInsider would be like cheating xD

Team A will take his own path.
