Metal Gear Solid V E3 2015 Trailer

the two clip of helicopter flying in between Big Boss hospital scene is really weird, I think it's supposed to hint at something. the helicopter scene have the exact camera angle just with different environment. maybe to show one of them is real, the other is dream or something
 
Amazing trailer, is that rex or something slightly different from it? Just imagining another legendary boss battle like in the first metal gear gives me the chills :D
 
I thought the Casette at first was labeled "From The Man Who Saved The World" which made me think "Wait, wouldn't that be Big Boss?"

But I had misread and it says "From The Man Who Sold The World"
I wonder who that is.

That is a David Bowie song, maybe it is just a music tape you can pick up?
 
Yeah, on Skullface.

We see him without a mask from the start and now we're seeing him with one and he seems much more of a delusion.

BB kills Skullface
Skullface continues to haunt BB. A delusion.

I'm going with that.
 
That trailer was ridiculous, not as thrilling as I would have liked for the last Kojima MGS trailer, but I'll take it. See you September 1st Kojima.
 
MGS1 has an image that makes it look like his hair is lighter, but it's just lighting, it wasn't blonde in the SNES games, and it wasn't blonde in MGS2 or 4 (Young Camo) or anything else.

It's bright white all over in the briefing, yet his skin looks quite dark. I wonder what colour hair would reflect the light like that?

Plus: explain the blonde twins at the end of the trailer...?

It's a David Bowie song.

BTW, Skullface was in Ground Zeroes - before Big Boss had that shrapnel, so he can't be just a figment of his imagination.
 
So is it fair to assume now that Quiet
didn't want to become a Skull unit member and escaped, but retained a lot of the powers the Skull units have?
 
Is it, by any chance, possible that Skullface is/was the same patient, with the bandaged head, in one of the earliest trailers?

Its possible. though you could say Skullface put Snake there if GZ wasn't fucking with us. But he could be Ishmael. The appearance of Skull face in the new trailer is almost identical to Ishmael in the very first reveal, both appearing as ghosts. I'm certain Ishmael and skullface in this trailer are an illusion.
 
Not sure if someone already noticed this, but the object that Big Boss pulled out of the guy's throat is a HEADPHONE:

The headphone has clearly been surgically implanted into the guy's throat for some reason. It also appears to be directly over his voicebox.

We then pan down and see the "sacks" pulsating on his chest.

So, is whatever's playing through the headphone giving "energy' to the sacks?

Would certainly tie into the trailer's theme of language and power ;-)
 
While I agree he doesn't dye his hair, it's possible his hair turned brunette due to the aging process.

His hair could have changed to a darker shade of blonde or light brown naturally. I know this for a fact, I was blond until 13 to 14yo then my hair got darker to a light brownish kind of color.

You mean "Not Your Kind Of People."

yah that one! I knew I was close but didn't remember the name exactly.
 
Incorrect. I don't know why this myth keeps spreading.

My bad, he did not dye his hair.

The exchange:

Solid Snake: I need to borrow your scissors. // Naomi Hunter: What are you going to do? // Solid Snake: Don't worry. Just going to clean myself up a little. // Naomi Hunter: Huh? // Solid Snake: I don't want to be mistaken for the leader of the terrorists.

Still, The Les Enfantes Terribles implies heavily. that it is in fact Solid and Liquid we're looking at.
 
He isn't, Snake has never been blonde, the only information we've ever been told in regards to hair color was that Liquid's hair turned blonde from the sun in the desert.

MGS1 has an image that makes it look like his hair is lighter, but it's just lighting, it wasn't blonde in the SNES games, and it wasn't blonde in MGS2 or 4 (Young Camo) or anything else.
Pliskins hair is blonde in mgs2s artwork. There is no definitive answer as to what hair color snake has naturally. People say it's only lighting in mgs1 briefing room but that's just what people tell themselves, only Kojima knows. Anyone who watched the briefing would assume he's blonde. But he's always had dark hair everywhere else.
 
The David Bowie song "The Man who Sold the World" apparently used this poem as inspiration.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today,
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

When I came home last night at three,
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall,
I couldn't see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don't you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door...

Last night I saw upon the stair,
A little man who wasn't there,
He wasn't there again today
Oh, how I wish he'd go away...
 
I recall that MGS2 runs at 30fps on Vita, compared to 60 even on PS2, but they're meant to be pretty good. Just get the HD collection and MGS1 on PS3 if you have it.



HD Collection was fantastic. Get it.

gah, have the HD collection on Vita somewhere here. And I'm currently 20m in since yesterday on 1 ^^

hmm, I'll finish 1 and see if I can find the PS3 hd collection somewhere for cheap.

Man, I remember how me and my buds used to play all these games :/
We went to school together and then some of us worked at the same company so we always had the same time off. We we're usually 5 of us playing these games together at my place or Bs place. How we all used this to bond and play games. How a 24 year old decided to stay in the kitchen because Silent Hills got to scary. How one of them told his GF(now wife) "nah we can fuck later I'm gonna play MGS2 with my friends", we all heard that :D That's perhaps why I don't remember to much of these games. I actually never played one solo, we took turns and talked shit the whole time no matter which game. heh and when I bought an extra TV we all still just played on 1 tv together since it wasn't the "same" ^^
 
The story of this game is such a mess at this point.

The game looks great but I wish it was a new IP without the narrative baggage. Ground Zeroes was great because it wasn't story heavy, I fear trying to shoe horn the lore of MGS in to this game will ruin it.
 
I really need ground zeroes to go cheaper during the Steam sale this week, I feel a bit behind. I also never played Peace Walker... I plan to play it soon though. Are the events in PW super important in GZ / PP?

Even though this doesn't really count to most people, The Twin Snakes Briefing Videos were all ingame 3D and Snake had his regular brown hair but with a MGS2/3 Mullet. Kojima still had a part in that game even if he wasn't the director.

KOJIMA IS FUCKING AMAZING

Why the hell wouldn't they have the story of Metal Gear in a new Metal Gear Game. This isn't a reboot.
 
I mean, people with blonde hair when they're young, can sometimes get darker as they get older too. One of my older brothers was the blondest little boy you could imagine, but in his 40s now, he actually has pretty dark hair. Still looks a little blondish, but he could pass for medium brown haired.

That was a scrapped concept where Pliskin was meant to diguise himself by dyeing his hair blonde, but they just gave him his normal brown hair in the final game. And it's pretty clear that the strong lighting in the briefing room is the cause of his supposed blonde hair. As I said before, look at GZ, where everyone though BB had grey hair.
