lol, Batzi is a known liar. He also swore up and down two years ago that Ground Zeroes was going to be a full-fledged game and that no way would Kojima release just a short prologue section instead.

On a related note, can't believe it has been two years since GZ and one since TPP already.

That's funny, I hear MGS fans trash the game all the time.

It's amazing to me that one can't even mention MGSV without someone jumping in and say how shit or non-existent the story was. Saying how Kojima lost the plot and created a real slog of a game. Now everyone is acting like they wanted to see more from him and that the series can't go on without him.

The Metal Gear fanbase are lunatics but have you never heard of a vocal minority before? MGSV had plenty of flaws but it was still a great game and only lost out to two of the best games of this generation so far in GAFs GOTY vote.

Anyway, wow. I'm not completely against buying a Kojima-less Metal Gear but this sounds like a blatant, unimaginative cash in. Do not want.

Who are we supposed to be "surprised" about? More of his wishy washy maybe nonsense. If there's no MGS3 remake, he's gone forever. :)

Really appalled at the humorlessness Metal Gear fans are displaying today

Zero difference between this and any other MG spin off

You don't need to virtue signal. Kojima is making something else like he wanted to do. Konami isn't doing anything wrong here

Tell me about a MG game where the story isn't complete batshit crazy with WTF elements wherever you look.

This completely sounds like a thing Kojima would work on, by your logic Revengeance wouldn't be a Kojima MG game.

Kojima doesn't hold the rights to "batshit". By that account, any game with some nonsensical element would be a part of Kojima's design.

Also, a survival, zombie premise? That's not batshit insane, it's the mother of generic genres you can think off.
 
Ign totally nailed it in their Rewind theater for MG Survive. This game is Big Boss or Venom's nightmare while in a coma!!!

This has president with Metal Gear a la the nightmare sequence in Snake Eater.

I swore? When? Show me the post where I swore. And GZ to many is more of a full-fledged game than TPP. How about that?

the best you can ever offer up is vague guesses that are attempts to be able to play anything off if you're wrong.

But I said that Konami was going to announce a 4 players coop game/mode for MGSV, how is that vague?
 
This is not even the same type of weird that Kojima would offer. This is just throwing shit at a wall and seeing what sticks. I expect this game to be a shitty CoD zombies

Most of the canon is fucking questionable regardless :D

A big part of the story of TPP revolved around those who had affected the saga but had been forgotten along the way. A big through theme of the series as a whole has been revealing the reality behind its legends and myths. Whilst it didn't build to the reveal very well at all, it certainly fit. I like the questions it raises.



Not just some zombies, my friend: Super Crustal Space Zombies from Dimension Cash Grab!

But Crystal Zombies sounds about as nonsensical and Metal Gear as "I breath through my skin and cannot talk" or "I have aged rapidly because I am a clone of another". It's all ridiculous but people will still act like Kojima is some master writer despite this zombie stuff probably being something he would make up. Oh, and I'd bet all the zombies died of fox-die.
 
As if Kojima wouldn't have released a batshit insane spinoff title. This still looks classically Metal Gear in that nothing makes sense at all.

- you claimed that it was a 4 player co-op mode for MGSV
- saying "I think they'll announce a new MGS" is just a way to cover your tracks as speculation if they didn't

the reality is that the only stuff you've ever "leaked" is vague enough to be right, or outright completely false.

such an accurate feeling don't you think so?

I don't think you understand. We don't care if you actually know anything or not, we care that you behave in the most irritating manner while trying to be an attention whore on this forum. So once you're wrong, you're gone.
 
Amazing, just amazing. Kojima, the James Joyce of video games, would never write this pure trite.

Zombies, in a Metal Gear games? Completely out of place, they might as well add any monster they please, Vampires? Mutants? Ghosts? Who cares! The genius mind of Kojima is gone, let's put every dumb idea we can think of into this.

The whole wormhole thing, how stupid! The only way this would ever be acceptable is if it was presented as a plot twist, then another plot twist revealed wormholes actually aren't real, then another plot twist revealed that wormholes are real, but can be created using a specific radio frequency. Of course the executives at Konami don't know anything about storytelling so this is what we get.

Hi

Glad they brought back the crystal zombies story line.

Wait, what?

You're acting like this is stuff Kojima wouldn't have wrote as well given the opportunity.

I mean look Metal Gear Solid V already had zombies and wormholes. The only difference here is that they're straight crystal zombies instead of parasite zombies.
 
Not sure why this game has "Metal Gear" in the name but if it shares gameplay/visuals with MGSV then I am definitely interested.

And I think the speculation that this is a nightmare while Boss is in a coma is spot on.

Well, dreams could be said to take place in an "alternate universe", for "you" are not the same as you are when awake.

Interesting idea. I mean, it seems silly to link the game to a main title and then pull crazy alternate universe shit instead of just being a basic spin-off.
 
People shitting on this because it's somehow lesser than what Kojima does are absolutely ridiculous. This sounds like something Kojima would do.
 
I'm not upset about this anymore. The game is probably going to be well under $60, same engine, similar gameplay. only thing missing is Kojima's influence. Whatever, I'll try it after I see reviews of course.
 
I.. will wait for reviews, I think. I really wish they had went with something that didn't tie into the Metal Gear name; I know why they did and it's understandable but really the Metal Gear series is pretty much concluded in my mind. If it maybe uses the mechanics of MGSV well then I might gain some more interest in it.

off-topic: Why can't I vote in the poll? Is it my junior status?

Haven't watched but that's what I'd expect. Where are all the people who kept saying the hospital sequence was all going to be a PTSD hallucination? Maybe this is the game for them?
 
Surviva is going to be basically what Undead Knightmare was to Red Dead. Don't know why people can't grasp that. The $30 price point just confirms that this is just an expansion, nothing more.

Actually kind of excited. More MGSV is good, but with co-op! I'm sold.

I don't think it's very Metal Gear at all, personally. Well, unless the whole thing is a VR mission. :)

Cutaneous Respiration is a real thing, btw, just not so much in peeps.
 
Well... this is "weird". Though in a cool way I feel. I always wondered about the supernatural side of the MGS series as it's used with some frequency. Plus the price is right I think, that's a big plus (for me at least).

Not too sure on the whole "uni-zombies" idea but I think they could, potentially, have a very interesting game/concept on their hands if they go all-in on the supernatural story.

Unless it's literally all caused by nanomachines. That would be just silly....right?

PS: Yay, first post! :)
 
Me: Konami, we broke up months ago.

Konami: Well, that doesn't mean we still can't go out!

Me: Well, it does actually. That's what breaking up is.

Konami: Don't you want to open your present?

Me: If it's Kojima's severed head, I'm going to be very upset.

Konami: Open it.

Me: Okay... *opens* What is it?

Konami: It's a four-player stealth co-op Metal Gear game!

Me: What am I gonna do with a four-player stealth co-op Metal Gear game!

Konami: You don't like it? Fine. You know, if you're not careful you're going to lose me.

Me: I lost you months ago. Are you mental? We broke up! Get the net!
