I might be pulling this bet from my wish fulfillment jar, but with the rumors that Kiefer Sutherland recorded not that many minutes of dialogue (bearing in mind this series tradition for voice acting of the main character) and the fact that they chose one of the most prolific voice actors in the industry to be Revolver Ocelot, is there a chance that we might play the majority of the game with Ocelot and not Big Boss?

of course the minutes rumor might be only a rumor and maybe they would not get Kiefer if he knew he would not be the main character. But still, I really like Ocelot's character and I wouldnt mind playing from his devious perspective in this one (and it wouldn't be a total "Raiden" since we know him and he is cool).

still, odds on that?

(btw, first thread ever, dont laugh too hard please) =P

He will do a reverse Raiden and let us play as Solid Snake in the final moments of the game.

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

More like Konami pulled a "Raiden" with Kojima

 

[Forkball]

First your Punished Snake, then your Venom Snake, and then finally Big Boss.

 

[Raonak]

I definitely feel like there's some big twist in TTP.

Also, i'm fully invested in the the idea that the end of the game consists of solid snake infiltrating outer heaven.
He may or may not be voiced by david hayter.

 

[Marvel]

I'm expecting something, what I do not know...

 

[Nestunt]

We did not know the "Meme" cornerstone of Sons of Liberty before release. Of course we are leading with the expectation of this game being mainly about the formation of Outer Heaven and Big Boss transformation. But still, from day 1 (Joakim Mogren included) there's some kind of a void in this game plot and structure, I am also expecting a twist (maybe not as big as the one above), and I really like Ocelot and think he deserves more before this series is stripped from Kojima's hands.

 

[EatChildren]

Nah. Twists and turns for sure, but Punished Kiefer start to finish. And if there is a "Raiden" sized twist it'll be something different, not just a copy of MGS2's lead bait and switch.

 

[Statue of Limitation]

They actually recast snake as Tory baker.

That is, Sutherland is voicing snake, but ocelot is going to get all his dialogue.

 

[Mexen]

OP, few lines = short cut scenes. Majority of which don't feature Big Boss.

 

[Rean]

He will do a reverse Raiden and let us play as Solid Snake in the final moments of the game.

Please be this.

 

[SJRB]

is there a chance that we might play the majority of the game with Ocelot and not Big Boss?

Not a chance. Ocelot is a gunslinging tryhard. He's an incredible spy and triple agent, but he has nowhere near the field experience and combat skills. Playing as Ocelot makes zero sense.

Not to mention MGSV is about Big Boss' descent into madness, pulling a Raiden would undermine that entire concept.

 

[Black Hat]

Yeah, you will play most of the game as a clone of Raiden sent from the future and the game will turn into a platformer around 2 hours in.

Because nanomachines.

 

[nrvalleytime]

My biggest hope is that the end of the game is a remastered version of Metal Gear Solid.

Please, please, please let this be the case.

 

[Nightengale]

Peace Walker already started the whole 'Snake doesn't talk much thing' by literally removing Codec altogether from gameplay, and making Snake's conversations entirely cutscene + tapes.

 

[hwy_61]

I just want there to be a good amount of Ocelot. Troy Baker definitely killed it with the voice.

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

My biggest hope is that the end of the game is a remastered version of Metal Gear Solid.

...what?

That doesn't even begin to make sense.
Metal Gear maybe, but not Solid.

 

[schlongdog]

I'm expecting something, what I do not know...

This is how I feel

 

[Nose Master]

I hope so. Big boss is boring as shit.

 

[hwy_61]

I hope so. Big boss is boring as shit.

How DARE you.

 

[nrvalleytime]

That doesn't even begin to make sense.
Metal Gear maybe, but not Solid.

Whoops - yep. Metal Gear.

Early morning typing sometimes prevents comprehension.

He's been in literally every game... what more does he deserve?

 

[Savitar]

God I hope not.

I don't want to play another D tier character.

 

[UnluckyKate]

raiden could appear in the game as talks about child soldier

 

[hwy_61]

raiden could appear in the game as talks about child soldier

That'd be cool actually.

 

[Alienous]

No.

That's a legacy that will be carried on by Rocksteady in Arkham Knight, they're crazy enough to do that.

[Kinyou]

As long as we're not playing Chico, all is fine

 

[hwy_61]

As long as we're not playing Chico, all is fine

Won't we play as quiet though?

Spoiler

I'm sorry.

 

[LewieP]

We're probably going to have to play as that wuss Solid Snake in MGR2.

 

[Tecl0n]

I don't see it happening. Although i do find it weird how much optional stuff we know and how little of the main storyline has been shown so far.

[Shauni]

I'm really not sure what exactly prompts people to think this. I also don't get where people are saying there's a "void" in the plot or something. We know about as much as TPP as we had about 3, 4 and Peace Walker before they came out (they never really detail the plot of these games with any kind of depth, so I don't know where the assumption that they will for this one comes from).

I mean, anything could happen I guess, but considering how Kojima has never done anything remotely like MGS2 since MGS2, I think the odds are against something like that happening. Randomly playing as Ocelot is probably the least likeliest thing to happen, though. I could may see the whole Solid Snake at the end thing, although I hope it doesn't happen. I love Solid Snake and all, but I'm baffled that anyone who thinks a random time jump that completely derails the narrative to give a tacked-on half-assed MG remake is all that good an idea.

 

[UrbanRats]

No.

That's a legacy that will be carried on by Rocksteady in Arkham Knight, they're crazy enough to do that.

Yes please.
I want to play the whole as Harley, not Robin/Nightwing.

 

[Kinyou]

Won't we play as quiet though?

Spoiler

I'm sorry.

Okay, in that one case I'd allow it

 

[orava]

Maybe. Maybe not.

 

[Wesker28]

Yep.
Venom Snake is Gray Fox, Quiet is Chico, Big Boss is Saladin, Ishmael is Solidus, Eli is Liquid, Solid Snake is the final boss, and Raiden will be revealed as the biological son of Big Boss. BOOM!
Everything you thought you knew is wrong!

 

[Prime crotch]

Yes, on credits HIDEO KOJIMA will fade into KOJIMA'S KOHAI. And we'll hail the new director and forget about old Hideo, like Big Boss

 

[Wynnebeck]

He will do a reverse Raiden and let us play as Solid Snake in the final moments of the game.

I r8 8 snakes out of 8 m8

 

[10k]

No. It'll be big boss all the way through. Thats just a fabricated rumor. I wouldn't mind playing as Solid Snake at the end of the game as an Intro to Metal gear.

 

[Stereogatari]

He will do a reverse Raiden and let us play as Solid Snake in the final moments of the game.

Exactly. Final act imo.

 

[Chittagong]

When the game is released it will be revealed that Konami CEO was actually Kojima all along. The CEO is on stage showing MGSV, suddenly takes mask off and BOOM it's Kojima, yelling at the top of his lungs 'kept you waiting huh?!!!'

 

[Nightengale]

Exactly. Final act imo.

#teamcreditssequence

 

[Kenzodielocke]

I think we will play as Kojima, that's why Konami has fired him.

Spoiler

/jk

 

[Raynes]

There will definitely be a huge unexpected twist. Last game, Kojima gonna go out with a bang I am sure.

 

[7DollarHagane]

I had a dream.about this very thing last night.

Thinking about the phantom pain too much.

 

[Frecklestein]

I can't wait to play as Paz for the entire game

 

[Spaghetti]

no.

it's an old trick.

 

[ZiggyST]

I can't remember, before MGS2 came out, They didn't show Raiden? just the boat part with snake? was he a 100% surprise or was there any hint or trailer that snake wasn't the main character?

 

[Loakum]

Kojima is definitely gonna pull some special surprise in Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain. Troy Baker and Sutherland already hinted at it. I still believe a David Hayter voiced Solid Snake will make an appearance during a "years later" time jump of the game.
