[IGN] 40 minute Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain demo 1080p60 - 6/18 at 5 AM PST

I loved the demo, only watched the first 10 minutes to avoid too much spoilery stuff.

I do think the idea of big boss talking so much and giving commands and having a dog barking around seems weird if you're trying to stealth around.

Also it seemed like when he approached the base the soldiers at the front gate couldn't see the player even though he's like 30 feet away? It seemed like in ground zeroes they had a pretty good vision range so I hope it's not like they're blind past a certain point.

yeah maybe its on easy mode or something. I was mainly upset from not seeing footprints and etc..haha

The DD mouth flapping and panting is a really nice touch. Especially since they're in Afghanistan.

Quiet's boob motion is wayy too much though. Not that it even should be there but the motion is so unrealistic and exaggerated.
 
Is he ?

He's the only Snake that ever got laid AFAIK

Judging by Solid Snake's banter with Mei Ling and Naomi early in MGS1, he's been laid plenty. Big Boss might be asexual after the events of MGS3, because it was so traumatic. But there are hints of him being sexually interested/active in Peace Walker.

They didn't say anything about difficulty mode, but they confirmed that this was a heavily edited and effected version of the levels to make it appropriate for E3 demonstration. I assume this includes difficulty and 'god mode' sorts of stuff.

If you turn it upside down it looks like an A, for Ahab

If you turn it on its side it's like the gaping maw of a whale (or a dog)

This is a rabbit hole, folks
 
I hope they show off extracting yourself via Fulton in a video. I remember they said if you extract a car or large crate you can stay on it and ride it back to base.
 
My goodness, did someone gif that dodge where the enemy shoots a RPG rocket at boss?

Yeah, it's 5-10 pages back

Edit: Ah, lol, above

You could do this in GZ, too. GZ legitimately has incredible action gameplay. I choose it over any other TPS now when I fancy getting in some gunfights. Shows games like GTA how it should be done.

It's in the original gameplay reveal, though he doesn't follow through. The video which begins with Ocelot sending Snake out into the world and showed off horseback stuff. He goes to fulton a cargo container while standing on it, and starts getting lifted away.

IIRC the voiceover says later in the video that if he stayed on it he'd spawn back at mother base on the container. He'd fail his currently active mission, though.

While I agree MGS has now got top-tier gunfights, Max Payne is still the king.

Consistently dodging rockets in style since 2001.

I suppose that's true, but the problem with MP has always been the length of the encounters. In TPP we can have gunfights almost as good, which go on for hours...

If Max Payne 3 had longer levels/gameplay segments it would deffo be a GOAT contender.

I think FEAR currently has the best gunfights of all time, though. I didn't even finish it and it was outdoing Max Payne 2 (which is in my top 5 fav games of all time)

We park our cars in the same hymn sheet, my friend.
 
What the heck is this what's going on

Edit: 28 hours total game time... So not from the press event in May...

Massive bonus for perfect stealth...

Is this an old image?

It's from June 15.

I rather not link the source because in that tweet she proudly tells us what she did in that mission and that is a spoiler... *facepalm*

One mission and it's minutes not hours. Nice run there. I am going to love s ranking everything.

Edit: oh wait I see the two times. Huh the first does seem to be total play in hours. That's a lot to play in two days.

Ah, that's appreciated. People are going to spoil the fuck out of this game any chance they get.

Any idea what context this person is playing the game in? Are they a journalist?

Yeah, I mean dafuq. Snake911 confirmed it's someone who is currently playing the game, as of the last week. Definitely not the May press event.

Yeah thankfully i knew about that before, some journo who was at the preview event leaked it.

I think she took that screenshot at the may event and just uploaded it now. Or maybe she played it at E3.

Dang. Interesting though. The 28 hour playcounter is pretty bizarre.
 
Or maybe it is those white discovery lines. Finishing mission without enemies even suspecting that they saw something strange.

I think that would be harsh. 'No traces' leads me to think it's just having 'ghosted' a mission: nobody knew you were there and there's no evidence left behind of you having been there. It might even be not having interacted with anyone (so nobody disappears or was interrogated etc.), the ultimate form of stealth.

This is basically the Metal Gear I didn't know I've always wanted. Every new detail, every new screenshot is hitting all the right notes.

And that's Episode 11?! How many Episodes are there going to be?!

Didn't Kojima say that one of the missions would take something like 6 hours to finish?
