If it weren't for the whip, it'd be pretty cool.
What's wrong with the whip? i think it looks cool.
For me it's Rex. MGS (on PSX) was my introduction to the series, and it took place in pretty much the same timeframe that I played games like Mechwarrior 2, or saw movies like Robocop (with ED-209) for the first proper time. Rex fitted my 'idea' of a Mech-tank.
Did you miss the Zone of the Enders series? Not traditional hulking mechs but still.

It's actually cool that Youtube tweeted about this. Twitch didn't so they can suck it!

The trailer was phenominal. I've been playing this series since 2005 and I'm excited to see how it ends.
It's kind of funny since we know that this is really the end considering that Kojima and Konami are parting ways. Metal Gear will continue on according to Konami, but not like this.

I simply think it doesn't belong, it's too much.

It wasn't so much the laser whip/sword itself as the fact that it seems to cast the Earth spell from Final Fantasy too.
I hope you have to climb it Shadow of the Colossus style.
By the way guys, I hope you enjoyed the last ever Hideo Kojima directed Metal Gear trailer. It was a fun couple of decades.

It's one of those segmented swords, I think. Also looks super heated, good for close combat anti-tank cutting.
Metal Gear RAY (MGS2 version). It's so sleek and beautiful.

To be fair, the MGS series is basically anime.

I see goofy or mickey mouse..
True, MGS has always blended anime-esque/supernatural elements with realism. But I feel earlier games combined those elements in a way that made things seem plausible.
It started to go downhill with Peace Walker imo.
The whip just seems unusually out of place - even for a MGS game.

Seeing as they make use of wormholes in this game, I wouldn't put it past them to justify some type of time travel in the plot. Though I doubt it.
Snake? SNAAAAAAAAAKE!

I did not.
MGS1 had an anime ninja.
MGS2 had a vampire run on water, an anime style metal gear (ray) that shot laserbeams at you, and a samurai swordfight in new York with your dr octopus war-dad. (And raiden was soooo anime)
The anime's always been there. Sneaking in the shadows.
Anime's also not a bad thing. It's also a descriptor that barely means anything, because crazy cool nonsense is in all media somewhere.

This person's post has been bothering me since i read it...
I feel like i don't know what pretentious means anymore.
The MGS series is about 'as realistic' as the James Bond series is.
Yeah and I'm not denying the existence anime/magic/supernatural elements in the previous games. Just saying they were implemented in a way that made the technology seem plausible - you could imagine DARPA coming up with something similiar in future.
A flaming whip sword just seems ridiculous and would be more at home in a Dark Souls game. I cannot imagine a military developing a walking tank equipped with flamming whip/sword as a weapon.
Well, Sauron put a lot of his 'power' into a special ring. Didn't make any tactical sense but it ended up being a nice story.

Fucking beautiful. I got misty-eyed in the beginning.
So that's where his clones were taken from...
LOTR is high fantasy tho.

Metal gear is fantasy where everything is explained with nanomachines instead of magic.

I know! Did people really think Kojima was going to turn the series into a dry "Tom Clancy" knock-off - especially given its place within the overall continuity of the Metal Gear saga?
The odd thing is that its happening in some reviews too. Metal Gear has always contained a strong thread of manga-style excess... its one of the defining features of the franchise.
As much as I hate the time travel theory, it would explain this.
Well it looks like Mantis is seemingly controlling this. It's possible with his abilities he's making this MG do things it probably can't do.
Anyone play Portable Ops.

I avoided watching the trailer in order to avoid seeing a spoiler, but managed to spot this post. Thanks.
