I really don't like the new version of the song, I just can't get over it.

I have problems with consistency and retconnings, sci-fi dosn't excuses those 2 things.
Lol Kojima trolling with that hallway scene?
I doubt he would outright show a big spoiler for the launch trailer. Anyway that was a sweet trailer for even the series with him at the helm overall. I still not sure about really checking this out tbh. I liked what I played of the series in ways, but bleh think I lost interests a bit while ago.
Oh man that looks so good.

If it's in a trailer its probably not that big of a spoiler, yall need to find your chill and hold onto it. That Metal Gear is full anime and I love it.

Big Boss is obviously not Skullface...it's a red herring. Besides it's probably just a hallucination or there to purposefully mislead people. If it was true, then GZ wouldn't make sense. Also, when you see Big Boss in MG1, 2 and 4, his head and face don't represent that of Skullface either.

MG1/2 aren't part of the 'solid' series.

That was an incredible watch, I really can't wait for 9/1 at all. God man, the first few minutes were emotional as hell. So good. Lol @ so many people calling it "spoilery", it's a launch trailer guys, of course it's going to show SOME stuff you've never seen before.
You people need to chill out with all this spoiler stuff. Watch the trailer, not really that bad spoiler wise.
Putting this in spoilers just in case (also a fight club spoiler)
The Skullface stuff is either a metaphor or a way of showing that Skull is a figment of BB's imagination, maybe a Fight Club kind of thing.The Metal Gear was cool but this trailer is totally worth watching. The first two minutes at least.
I can really imagine Kojima thinking and scheming during the creation of these trailers. "Hey Steve, can you render this certain scene with a different character model? People will go ballistic!"
You're taking it way too literally. I have no doubt that it's a metaphor, and while it could be a hallucination, it would merely be a visual extension of that metaphor.

I feel like reading this thread is more of a threat of spoilers then watching an official launch trailer.
then again, I am the kind of person who consumes official media trailers before launch and don't consider that spoiling anything.
its what the company wants you to see/think before release.

It is officially canon and the suppressing and controlling of weapons and technology is definitely mentioned as something the Patriots did in the other games.
And this is aside from just information and cultural control through "memes", collecting data on the perfect soldier, and whatnot.

I regret watching it
really? Kojima himself hand crafted this thing, do you think he would spoil anything? come on guys.
this is the LAST time you can get hyped for a kojima MGS trailer.
BASK IN IT.

So what gets retconned here? Like I said, one of the big points of this series is the grip the Patriots have on everything. And even then, there is quite possibly a reason why this Metal Gear wasn't continued after TPP. We don't know, because we haven't played the game. In a series like MGS bigger is not always better. The massive use of nanomachines supports that.

Not kojima's problem, let the poor sap that has to make the next metal gear worry about that.

That actually wasn't a very good trailer. It started out as a metal gear retrospective, shifted to big boss' character arc, and then it's balls to the wall metal gear action for the last two minutes. Uh, okay.
E3 2013 Red Band will always be the series' best trailer.

This trailer shows more than I was expecting, but the fact some things are uhh... made "clear" to us makes me think that Kojima is leading us on. Ultimately I choose to believe that the trailers are made to let us have our expectations subverted, so are part of the experience.
Anyway, that's why I choose to watch all the trailers and not consider myself spoiled, but I'm still not going to discuss specifics anywhere because I know others have different perspectives.
So hyped right now. So. Hyped.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
Oh damn.
So then "from FOX two phantoms were born" actually means Big Boss has a doppelganger...
Makes sense ...

I mentioned it in another thread, but Otacon sucks at making things.(Spoilers for MGS1, 2, 4.)
We can assume Otacon built MG Rex through some blueprints from the MGS3 scientist that his dad probably left him
Emma helped Otacon with the tip about Metal Gear Ray
The virus for Arsenal Gear was Emma's
The MK2 from MGS4 was built with assistance from Sunny
Sunny is the one who creates the 'FOXALIVE' with Naomi
Otacon has literally done nothing by himself. Metal Gear Rex being weaksauce compared to previous MG's and future MG's makes sense

There will be more games
Yeah I know "not the same without Kojima" but still...
IIRC Kojima said this was the end of the MGS line.
Hopefully Konami acknowledges this and calls the other games "Metal Gear __".
Not to say future games will inherently be bad, but it is nice to see MGS as a by-product of Kojima & co.
That's the joke
And this installation just might make it conclusive.
It would also totally explain why they were able to build a Metal Gear later on even though the Patriots held tight the advanced Metal Gear technology from the time period.
Well, the retrospective was actually a way to lead up to the Metal Gear reveal.

There's at least two more gaps that I think justify more games.
I don't even think it was supposed to be that. It was just overt symbolism to show that all those people were the same. The only reason people think it could be something literal is because Metal Gear games are batshit crazy and ever since the big reveal from MGS2 the fans think what Kojima had for breakfast has a hidden meaning with dire ramifications on the Metal Gear mythos.
He also has two hands in all of those games.

I won't touch them.

Sure, just saying there will be more Metal Gear games, whether they're called Solid or not.
Maybe. Maybe not.
