He also has two hands in all of those games.

In MGS4 he's mostly Solidus, though.

This is the end, beautiful friends.

Here's to you: Nicola and Bart.

 

[pizzacat]

You will never fight a rendition of this Metal Gear in Revengeance 2.

Haha that's awesome

 

[Arjac]

To anyone thinking the midpoint of that trailer is a spoiler, please get in contact with me.
I have a wonderful bridge I'd like to sell you.

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.

Yeah, well tbh I don't remember BB having horns, all those scars on his face or missing an arm in mg1, 2 and 4 though..

 

[JetBlackPanda]

damn quites theme is fucking good.

Um, the Big Boss in MGS4 was a reconstructed body, and for MG1 and 2 they probably will be heavily retconned.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

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

Yeah, I definitely liked the older version better.

 

[Amandeep]

Thank you for all the years of metal gear, Kojima, and Kojima productions :')

[Scrooged]

You people are something else. Anyone who's played Ground Zeroes knows BB isn't Skull Face. XOF is the mirror image of FOX. They are opposites. The transition is meant to symbolize the fact that they are becoming one in the same, in terms of ideology and action.

 

[MissCauthon]

Did they seriously put a penis on that robot? LMAO

 

[strafer]

Everyone should play this.

Fitting end.

[CouchMaster]

Oh damn.

So then "from FOX two phantoms were born" actually means Big Boss has a doppelganger...

Makes sense ...

Speculative spoiler

Spoiler

the Snake you wake up as from coma and play the game is not BB at all, but Venom Snake. While the actual BB has turned into full on Skull Face int the 9 years

Of course it doesn't explain the horn thingy, so i don't know.

 

[Bsigg12]

Did they seriously put a penis on that robot? LMAO

That's pretty standard for the series.

Anyways, great final trailer. 1 more week!

 

[Timeaisis]

Well that was hype as hell.

Also, Metal Gear Ray wasn't nuclear equipped. Someone fucked that description up.

 

[Randam]

we saw tyler and the narrator in fight club togehter on screen all the time too. :O

 

[viHuGi]

Absolutely amazing!

I think Skull Face

Spoiler

is Old Snake

Spoiler

We know Old Snake Face was partially burned, probably finish off the rest to be unrecognizable

Spoiler

We know Skull Face has a virus, probably that new strand of FOXDIE the Old Snake has

My theory is

Spoiler

Otacon, and Sunny found a way to time travel, and Old Snake went back to stop the Patriots at the inception

Team

Spoiler

Predestination

 

[Senoculum]

In the last frame of the trailer, with the group, on the far left...

Spoiler

is that a young Otacon?

 

[Snatch1414]

they will be shit

I won't touch them.

Why are you so sure? If a good team follows the model there's great potential there. I guess it depends on what you think of the MGS story. I generally think of it as ridiculous and a squandered opportunity for a great realistic military thriller. There's a chance if a good team takes the helm they retain the same gameplay but bring the story down to earth.

 

[Lnkn52]

Damn that spoiler alert. But what a trailer.

 

[Ghostmaster]

The skullface bit is such an obvious metaphor that I can't believe some people think it's a spoiler.

Come on guys.

 

[Randam]

if there is time travel involved, I will destroy everything MGS related I own and then burn it.

 

[Faynwulf]

Did they seriously put a penis on that robot? LMAO

That's pretty typical placement for some railguns. Especially in japanese media.

 

[Carn82]

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.

Yeah, i'm fine with spinoffs whatnot, but 'MGS' should be over.

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.

Oh I get that, BB's 'downfall' in a visual sequence etc. But if I were him I would totally pull that sort of tricks on my fanbase

 

[Bsigg12]

No.

Spoiler

It's Huey from Peace Walker, Otacon's dad.

well there's that wormhole fulton

 

[artsi]

About the Metal Gear, in the E3 2015 trailer we already saw it and even who is piloting it.

Of course the weapons were new but I don't really consider it a bad spoiler, unless you've been blind since the debut trailer.

 

[Justified]

The skullface bit is such an obvious metaphor that I can't believe some people think it's a spoiler.

Come on guys.

Not that your point isnt valid, because it is, but how was it obvious?

 

[MissCauthon]

Am i allowed to ask this.
In the final shot of the trailer. Is the guy with the metal things on his legs who I think it is...

 

[Vincent Grayson]

What the hell would be the point of that though? MGS is what it is because it's *not* down to Earth.

Making another one without those elements makes no sense when you could just make something new.

Either way, sans Kojima and whoever else left in the wake of Konami's shenanigans, I don't think there's much chance any more worthwhile MG titles will come.

 

[Arkhanor]

HOLY SHIT!

 

[Scrooged]

The skullface bit is such an obvious metaphor that I can't believe some people think it's a spoiler.

Come on guys.

It's like they completely forgot that in Ground Zeroes, the camera pans from SF to BB in one shot. It can't even be a Fight Club situation.

But now they're talking about time travel. LOL

 

[specdot]

WE GUNDAM/MACROSS NOW, KOJIMA?!

 

[PreFire]

I'm scared to watch. Some are saying there are major spoilers.

I've tried to avoid reading about them but apparently one is of skull face being Big boss.. Which is impossible.. But the game is out in less than a week, and I really don't want to see any scenes or revelations that would spoil my experience with TPP.

It's funny how we are all worried about spoilers in a game that is based in the 1980s, when we've played or seen the outcome of the latest games in the MGS series. That's how good Kojima is

I want to watch the trailer so bad. I don't care about weapon spoilers, like a new metal gear or some shit. But if it's a major plot reveal spoiler or character, I will be pissed. I want to scream "get the FUCK out of HERE!?!" when something shocking happens in the story.

Yes, he is Huey, Otacon's dad.

Really, there is so much fuckery going on in Metal Gear that I'm surprised that Kojima hasn't thrown time travel in there yet.

 

[TRI Mike]

How can a 70s Metal Gear be more advanced than 2000s

Nanomachines.

 

[Graphics Horse]

He's been in most of the trailers.
He's a character from Peace Walker, but uses a wheelchair in that.

 

[farisr]

Did they seriously put a penis on that robot? LMAO

Metal Gear Rex had one as well.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

I'm sure this has been asked many times before, but what is the best way to get caught up to the story?

I've played 1,2,3,4 many times. But I never played Peace Walker. How should I get caught up without actually playing the game?

 

[ntinosaur]

I think it's time to make a calendar of the Kojimaverse !!

 

[MissCauthon]

He's been in most of the trailers.

I have avoided all trailers of the game until today.

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

Well I absolutely loved that trailer. It somehow managed to get me even more hyped for MGS5. The next week is going to be a long one.

 

[Jeronimo Jones]

I watched it because curiosity got the best of me. I don't regret a single thing.

No way can that be an actual spoiler, and a new metal gear in the new metal gear is not much of a surprise.

 

[Justified]

read my post above, and let me know what you think. Btw Im not being condescending I actually want to know what you think about it

Play GZ, it pretty much sums up Peace Walker. Listen to all the tapes of course.

 

[Omega Kirby]

Decent trailer. Some nice spoilers but meh.
