Keighley's just confirmed through a Kojima interview that Hayter isn't involved.

Fun 1 hour interview with @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN. Will have it online later this week. He confirmed no Hayter for MGS5 and a lot of other things.

Link.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Did he give any indication as to what was meant by "open world"? I mean, looking back on it the original MGS and MGS 3 to an extent felt like open world games in that you were able to go back and explore most areas of the game at most points in the game. Or is this gonna be like a real seamless open world free of load times and segmented off combat areas?

It will be a collection of big maps set in different areas and countries.

 

[ScOULaris]

This seems like a game where people will be completely lost if they haven't played the previous titles .

Um, yeah! That has been the case with every MGS game since MGS2.

OH MY

 

[shungokusatsu]

Gd that trailer makes me feel like I'm in high school again when I first played MGS for PlayStation.

[thebaroness]

I don't have anything else to add other than that trailer is brilliant.

and Kojima's taste is music is very Chicky, which I like

OH MY

KOJIMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

 

[Risette]

Um, yeah! That has been the case with every MGS game since MGS2.

MGS1 is pretty ??? without the Metal Gears too.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

From the Wiki:

"VR training is researched and developed."

There's a lot of light streaks and 'lens flare' but sometimes without any obvious source.

Could it be Kojima is trying to suggest that VR was developed in his universe (by the Patriots, Foxhound, whoever) and it's somehow tied into Big Boss and psychic forces?

I've still got to play Peace Walker so I might be wrong but in MGS 1-4 the only character who rode a horse was The Boss:

Obviously from MGS3 we know her outcome but the imagery would be a strong one for Big Boss and it can't be a coincidence that it looks like Ocelot is the one riding the horse that Big Boss shoots at the fiery unicorn/Pegasus thing from.

So yeah, looks similar to the Animus from Assassin's Creed, would give Kojima the freedom to tell stories from 'memories'.

And one last idea I had - what if the game is a remake of Metal Gear except you play as Big Boss leading up to it and Solid Snake is your final boss?

Snake rides Boss horse in PW.

 

[VindicatorZ]

Solid Snake being the final boss would be brilliant.

 

[Jawmuncher]

MGS1 is pretty ??? without the Metal Gears too.

That's debatable.
I feel they explain everything pretty good for the most part. If you want more depth than yeah I see the MSX games being needed.

 

[ScOULaris]

MGS1 is pretty ??? without the Metal Gears too.

Eh, not really. Most people got their start with the series beginning with MGS1, and most of the "Solid" series has referenced stuff from MGS1 onward moreso than the earlier games.

 

[Drain You]

I am sorry if this has been asked before, but I am completely new to the series and I really really enjoyed the trailer. If anyone could PM me some sort of site that I can basically read through the story or something like that It would be appreciated. I don't care how long it is, I just do not have the time or nor do I have the access to the older games.

Amazing trailer though, great song choice and if it looks like that on consoles I will be very satisfied. Kojima did all the right things teasing/marketing/trolling this game, wish more would approach things the way he did. I've enjoyed every minute of it.

 

[TedNindo]

It's amazing to see how dynamic and unbaked the lighting and material/texture work is. Being able to make everything look wet without having an artists having to do everything is pretty amazing. Same thing with the lighting.

 

[jacksepticeye]

Keighley's just confirmed through a Kojima interview that Hayter isn't involved.



Link.

He said he revealed WHY Hayter wouldn't be returning too. Interesting

 

[Sub_Level]

I've still got to play Peace Walker so I might be wrong but in MGS 1-4 the only character who rode a horse was The Boss:

It's a horse dude. Most people can ride them. BB rides one in Peace Walker and Ocelot does so in this sem-hallucination/vr/whatever hospital scenario.

 

[ExitPlanetDust]

Am I the only one who thinks the unicorn is a reference to Blade Runner and false memories?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Solid Snake being the final boss would be brilliant.

From what FunkyStudent posted we're getting close to something like that timeline wise.
Though I think they'd save it for 6

 

[peaceiscloser]

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about the existence of VR in Metal Gear. I guess I was getting really used to bananamachines being everything now..

 

[lucius]

Nice, I still didn't believe it until official announcement even though detective GAF is almost always right. Going to finish my MGS4 stealth and Trophy run after Infinite and Rising wear me out.

 

[LittleNemoNES]

they should get Jonathan Goldsmith to voice Big Boss

 

[nopenopenope]

.

 

[IrishNinja]

oh my god

Solid Snake being the final boss would be brilliant.

OH MY GOD

 

[DieH@rd]

Solid Snake being the final boss would be brilliant.

Mind blown.

 

[Sapiens]

Glorious. I'm inspired.

MGS trailers are always so riveting.

When do I get to play it?

 

[DrBo42]

Am I the only one who thinks the unicorn is a reference to Blade Runner and false memories?

It would make sense considering how much pop-culture gets into his games.

 

[Punkster_NY]

That look of this is haunting, I can't fucking wait to play this game.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

IMO we aren't playing as the Big boss. We're playing as the third person that we see in the first minutes. We're are made to believe we are actually Big Boss, throught intensive mind manipulation (psycho mantis kid) and face remodelation cirurgy. Remember MGS2, when Big Shell incident was just some kind of VR training to show how you could create someone like Snake from any soldier? This is the same, with all the memories of the Big Boss, that other soldier becomes Big Boss, but with the secondary effects of mental unstability. That would explain why hayter isn't part of the game, because...we actually aren't playing as Snake.

 

[Akainu]

Christ I think I've been listening to this song non stop for the past couple of hours.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Solid Snake being the final boss would be brilliant.

He would be like what 11-12 years old? That would be really weird.

Peace Walker takes place in 1974 and Les Enfants Terribles Projects was in 1972. If it's 9 years after Peace Walker it means that it's been like 11 years since Solid Snake was born.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Christ I think I've been listening to this song non stop for the past couple of hours.

Same here as well as the original ground zeroes here's to you.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

"V has come to" obviously means there's a fifth Snake...

 

[nopenopenope]

.

 

[Sir Ilpalazzo]

That would explain why hayter isn't part of the game, because...we actually aren't playing as Snake.

Then how do you explain Snake's Japanese VA being the same?

 

[Live Free or Die]

Christ I think I've been listening to this song non stop for the past couple of hours.

It's awesome.

Doubtful. Unless you are actually reliving his memories, it would make no sense, it would just be a big waste of time to not play as Big Boss when we can do so.

 

[Scythian Empire]

THE LIGHTING!

MY EYES!

 

[JordanLMiller]

I don't really like the MGS series, but that trailer was really incredible.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Then how do you explain Snake's Japanese VA being the same?

Well we've only heard that in the 1975 portion of the game, but I don't want to go into this voice theory until we hear more.

 

[Omnistalgic]

Hmm...this just makes me want to play Peace Walker on Vita, and MGS4 over...Love Hideo's stuff..

hopefully it's announced for PS4 at E3 as well...I'm getting more and more done with my PS3 with all the PS4 news...

Seriously though, it took long enough..how long have fans been asking for a story on Outer Haven and Zanzibar...

Big Boss vs. Solid Snake...

"I killed him...he wanted it..."

That line (MGS1) has always been one of the most interesting parts of the story...Finally, we're getting to it! Although the PSP games do shed plenty of light on Big Boss, good to see it finally coming to the forefront.

 

[Synth_floyd]

Looks interesting but I'm getting the feeling that Naked Snake's story is getting a little too fleshed out. Story continuity aside, should be fun though.

 

[legacyzero]

Hmmm who was that on the horse I wonder?

 

[EatChildren]

Really, really good trailer. Excellent cutting and song choice. Colour me hyped.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Then how do you explain Snake's Japanese VA being the same?

We play the prologue as Big Boss and the rest of the game as the "copy". Remember MGS2?

 

[Graphics Horse]

I want to know want to know what's going on in that helicopter and Miller can't seem to get a response out of him. Is he having flashbacks to that time on the beach they had together?

Hmmm who was that on the horse I wonder?

Who else would be wearing spurs on his boots.

 

[Accoun]

He would be like what 11-12 years old? That would be really weird.

It's not like it has never been done in Japanese works - see: Gunslinger Girl.

 

[AuthenticM]

What are the chances of Snake not being the playable character ? What if Kojima pulls a Kojima ? Maybe the beginning of the trailer being in first-person but not from Snake is a hint at that.

Also, anyone else noticed that Snake is alone when crawling out of the vehicle, despite clearly being with Ishmael moments before when the vehicle was flipping around ?

 

[SniperHunter]

just saw it on the big screen...what an amazing trailer!! the song is pretty cool too

 

[iDotDotDot]

Best game trailer of all time? Maybe

I'm popping in the MGS Collection right now. I'm too hype.

Solid Snake being the final boss would be brilliant.

Hmm isn't Snake too young to be in this game? What year is it I'm confused now....
