Nice! I haven't even played previous Metal Gear games and I got the feels watching this!

 

[TheSeks]

Well, that's a twist/reveal spoiled.

Spoiler

Metal Gear Rex was built in the 1980's, so it was TWENTY years after the Russian designer gave Big Boss them in the 1960's/Snake Eater and not FOURTY after for Metal Gear Solid.

Ah, they named it SOMETHING not that. But it still looks extremely close to that.

 

[Lolcomin]

I doubt that transition scene is a real spoiler guys. Cmon

naw let them get sad, it's kinda funny really

 

[Stone Ocean]

This.

How would anyone developing a new Metal Gear model after the ST-84 create this as the next logical evolution of the machine:

Also strange is that Big Boss is the one that oversees the production of the Metal Gear TX-55. Wouldn't he want it to be more advanced that the ST-84?!?

Big Boss' soldiers were whining about the ST-84 being "too anime" so he told his researchers to dial it down

 

[RangerBAD]

I think Big Boss' face would look like Skull Face's after MG2.

ST-84 is like Gundam level!

 

[demolitio]

I feel like something happened in the 70's that clearly set us back a few decades in tech, kind of like losing the library of Alexandria. The Patriots definitely did a good job slowing evolution apparently.

I don't think the 2:50 spoiler is literal. I can't imagine him spoiling that in a trailer randomly after wanting to have less spoilers.

 

[Deckard Chapel]

Turns out Big Boss is a huge fan of Battletech.

Also the movie "Robocop"

 

[EatChildren]

Outside of story oddities, technology is the most inconsistent aspect of the saga. With Peace Walker and this it's clear Kojima and co don't really give a fuck and just throw in whatever they think is cool or serves a fun gameplay purpose. You really just have to accept it.

 

[sonicmj1]

It cant'? Who said the SF part was actually happening at that exact time. And what's with the flashing light as the badges are falling down, could that not be an indication of the game "going back to real-time/reality" type situation.

One of the badges Skull Face drops lands behind Big Boss's pouch. The camera shows the badge falling out of the sky and landing there when you roll around on the ground a lot.

 

[Lunar15]

ITT: GAF has no sense of visual metaphor.

 

[LeonSPBR]

Wow.. people screaming spoiler on the transition of Big Boss to skull face is just sad, you guys definitely didn't played GZ or watched any MGS5 trailers.

 

[thiscoldblack]

September 1st will be a great day. :'(

 

[Death Metalist]

What a trailer, dat nostalgia....this is the end.

About the Skullface thing,

Spoiler

It's a metaphorical thing rather than literal as in BB has became as low as Skullface/no better than Skullface.

 

[npa189]

SkullFace has TWO EYES, come on people!

Also what a beautiful trailer, and it has fully restored my hype like a calorie-mate.

Spoiler

goddamn transforming metal gear with a sword!

 

[phoeniks314]

In one of the trailers that line is followed directly with "FOX vs. XOF". Also, Solid and Liquid were made by Cipher, not FOX.

The two phantoms are (evil) Big Boss and Skull Face.

FOX,Cipher, Major Tom, Major Zero are all the same just different names. Zero is Cipher, he cloned Big boss.

 

[Real Hero]

That combined with an extreme paranoia about spoilers

We have this super high tech radar system that can tell you even where people are looking!

Let's not use it anymore, instead let's do this weird ground vibration thing.

 

[tilomite!]

Damn, I couldn't resist the urge to watch. Not too spoilery though.

 

[RangerBAD]

Kojima gave us ZoE3 as a goodbye gift.

 

[CouchMaster]

But Skull Face is the one who attacks motherbase before the coma... That doesn't make sense...

I got nothing, except

Spoiler

Still think the BB you play is not the real BB but Venom Snake

Yeah. Personally I like this decision since I'd rather fight a new advanced Metal Gear than crush something inferior to a TX-88 gameplay wise. He wanted to keep pushing the envelope with mech boss fights.

 

[muteki]

I'm liking the fanart of the new Metal Gear with the rex-head as the chest and a separate head so much better.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Also the movie "Robocop"

Funnily enough MG on MSx came out the same month as Robocop.

 

[BY2K]

Dat ZoE-looking REX. Holy shit.

 

[Ricky_R]

I got nothing, except

Spoiler

Still think the BB you play is not the real BB but Venom Snake

Spoiler

Isn't Venom Snake just an alias though? I'm confused with that one.

 

[RealityCheque]

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?

Right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Cy7E76mBL0

3 hours and you'll have it down.

 

[the black pearl]

Did that Metal Gear have a penis gun? wtf

 

[funkystudent]

Spoiler

Spoiler

There is a fan conspiracy going around the last few months.. hell years... that you play as some previously unknown Snake. Metal Gear fans gonna do their thing


Reminds me of the old fan theories that MGS3 would actually just be a VR mission from Solid Snakes perspective.

Not sure why I am spoiler tagging

 

[HammerOfThor]

Oh god the feels in that trailer!

 

[J-Skee]

Welp, I had to bail the hell out after the mid-credits, but holy shit, please tell me someone has Quiet's Theme in MP3 form already. I need that.

 

[Scrooged]

FOX,Cipher, Major Tom, Major Zero are all the same just different names. Zero is Cipher, he cloned Big boss.

I know. But Les Enfants Terribles was not done by FOX unit, unless I'm missing something.

Well, to me the MGS series has been an over the top comicbook/anime story about 'militairy heroes' with an 80's action movie framing & styling, and some (older) James Bond oddness (regarding naming conventions). The whole series became a platform for Kojima to tell stories about 'big concepts', making stuff even more convuluted (with varying results). I love the series but it's about as realistic as the previously mentioned James Bond series.

 

[ChanMan]

WARNING!!!!, There's a SPOILER. What I suspected happened, but it definitely looks to be a spoiler @ 2:50ish. Something that hasn't been shown in previous trailers.

Seriously, don't watch if you don't want any spoilers. The video may trick you into thinking that he's just reusing footage from the older games, and from this game that they've released before. But they definitely haven't released that and it seems like it could be a major plotpoint.

Thank you sir.

 

[Juicy Bob]

This is also relevant to my interests.

 

[Legato.Reborn-]

HYPE LEVELS REACHING CRITICAL MASS

Spoiler

GUNDAMUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[muteki]

Where have you been?

 

[Justified]

Spoiler

Thats True,

Spoiler

In fact at that point of the trailer, that is his current alias, and Eli is in the Metal gear Chasing him

 

[Forkball]

This.

Also strange is that Big Boss is the one that oversees the production of the Metal Gear TX-55. Wouldn't he want it to be more advanced that the ST-84?!?

Maybe Big Boss ran out of money. You can only make a huge military fortress so many times before you become strapped for cash.

But yeah, it is the typical prequel problem where stuff from an era before the original stories should be less advanced, yet you also have to go beyond audience expectations and show them something even better than before. It's like how all the prequel ships in Star Wars look so sleek and detailed, but they are hunks of junk in the OT.

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

God damn, the first half of this trailer really got to me. This franchise has meant so much to me for so long. I can't believe it's actually coming to an end.

 

[artsi]

FOX made Solid and Liquid, Eva gave them birth, maybe it's this.

It was an unnamed Japanese woman who is the mother of Solid and Liquid. She was the assistant of Para-Medic.

 

[yiepekaiyei]

Spoiler

For me, that metal gear doesn't even exists. The ground spikes when it bashes it's sword to the ground... We've seen that before, from a scene of obvious hallucination in previous trailers when he's running away from it using a car. Also, skullface thing is metaphorical. There's no spoilers in this trailer, I believe.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

It was an unnamed Japanese woman who is the mother of Solid and Liquid. She was the assistant of Para-Medic.

It was an unnamed Japanese Woman who provided the Embryos to give birth to Solid and Liquid. Eva is the one who carried them to full term.

 

[akidnamededdy]

She donated the egg. Eva is the one who carried them.

 

[artsi]

Really? My bad then, I missed that.

I'd like to go read more from the wiki as I don't remember everything in full detail, but I'm afraid of stumbling on some major spoilers there.

 

[Justified]

But Eva gave "birth" to them

 

[sonto340]

Literally saw nothing I would consider a spoiler in the trailer. Mostly nostalgia bombs and then an extended bit of a scene we had already seen in trailers before.
Hype Af trailer tho

 

[Senketsu]

I remembered my childhood days when I watched the start of the trailer T_T

 

[Cleve]

Man, anyone else get really excited about this being an announcement of the LE ps4 in the US before remembering it was a euro trailer and being disappointed?

 

[ChaosZeroX]

I'm so tempted to get this game and I haven't played any or watched any MGS game.

Trailer gets me hyped up.

Well the post credit scene is from TPP, but you will need context for it to be a full spoiler. Though the footage itself is minor spoiler for some
