Why an alternate dimension?
I know it showed no gameplay but it makes me think of a horde sytle game mode similar to The Mercenaries in Resident Evil games. Which also makes me think this would either be a small downloadable title or should have been a mode tacked onto the last Metal Gear Game.
But I'm kind of more interested about watching a new Jimquisition episode about it than actually learning more about the game.

Fuck me.
Yeah DEFINITELY the question everyone was asking after MGSV, lol...

They fired the single player team and only kept the multiplayer team, so its very logical that they'll just throw them all at a wall like a dart and see if this sticks.

He sure did.
"To me, the Metal Gear saga consists of MG1 and 2, MGS1/2/3/4 and Peace Walker, and now MGSV which closes the loop on that saga."

Absolutely false.

you seriously can't see a difference there?
alternate dimension is the cheapest way to do whatever the fuck you want without explaining anything. And zombies?

Why the fuck not?
Kojima jumped the shark with some elements in MGSV and somehow others aren't allowed to?
Oh, and how come we know this is canon?

Oh come on, even the trailer sucks so much.
A video that's all about jumping to conclusions without knowing whether this might actually be a, you know, good game? It's a spin-off, you can cry over Metal Gear's new direction when the next mainline game is this weird as well (or if they don't make another big Metal Gear title). But people crying over this as if Konami killed their dog is kinda silly.

I'd be curious if this was the real explanation for it all along or if Konami just shoehorned it in after Kojima left. Honestly, now that people have pointed out the wormhole fulton, I can see this being some tiny detail Kojima had written that didn't make it into the game or he scrapped that they just took and ran with.

That trailer was kinda sucky.
I'm used to elaborate, over-the-top, pretentious pseudo-artistic MGS trailers.
Come on, Konami, at least try.

Worst MG trailer, to be precise.
Cosmic level super natural elements are different, one because technically the concept of alternate realities is more hypothetical science than super natural. Many worlds theory and all that.
Along with that alternate realities in general or rather accessible ones is a level above... everything introduced in metal gear already.
^^^This so much. I don't get how people look at the alternate dimension/wormhole/crystalline zombie part and think that's not on par with the usual MGS plot machine nonsense. Nanomachines, son.
I totally get that people aren't hot on a multiplayer horde mode, but as has been said before, there have been elements of this nonsense plot in MGSV already.
While I give Konami credit for trying something new, this... isn't really Metal Gear. It's a bit over the top sci-fi, even for that franchise. Now if they chalk it up as being a non-canon spinoff a la Yakuza Dead Souls, then maybe I could be a bit more accepting of it.
Either way, we can't say we didn't expect this after Kojima's departure... And hey, maybe we'll get that MGS3 remake after all (whether we want it without Kojima or not), since Konami didn't waste any time with this cash cow.

I'm sure from a technical as well as gameplay standpoint the game will probably be good, but everything else screams forced sequel imposed by the corporate machine to sell on name value. The whole thing seems pretty soulless to me. Pretty much what everyone feared what would happen if Kojima left but Konami wanted to still make a profit with the MGS name.

So, this game's plot is more plausible than the whole MGS plot... theorically.

It took 26 years, but Snake's Revenge is now officially no longer the least canonical Metal Gear game. Congrats Konami for going straight for the Resident Evil Revelations levels of turd sandwich for the franchise. And...yep...there it is...yep...Metal Gear is dead to me.

Honestly I'm all for it. If the gameplay loop is satisfying, the give it to me. MGSV's gameplay was probably the best 3rd person experience I've had in a video game in the past 10 years.
They didn't even try, they just said hey you know what seems to sell well, everyone loves zombies and then mixed it with metal gear.
I don't like zombies, I'm sick of them, its lazy, people add zombies so they can be lazy with the context and program one track AI. Can we get back to some games where even if the premise is bad, try and make up some motivation for my attackers, not just that they want to eat my brain.

Nanomachines or parasites or whatever were never the hook that a MGS story started with. It was the explanation for everything in the end. The stories usually start relatively grounded.
This time they're starting with alternate dimensions and crystal zombies. Where do you go from there?
There is a Ground Zeroes mission that makes it pretty clear he doesn't give a shit about every game he didn't direct. He didn't write a single line for Rising or have anything to do with the story. You can be sure he would ignore it if he had to make a sequel to MGS4.

If they copy and paste the mgsv gameplay it will at least be fun as shit, the story also can't be any worse than V so consider me excited due to the fact it has coop.
It is interesting that they dropped the "Solid".

The wormhole bit is something Peace Walker would do and the trailer was intriguing, up to the point where they show the actual zombies where it seemed like they just wanted to make something like RE or L4D.

Metal Gear Federation Force?
To this day, I still wonder how many of this series' fans would insist on clinging to any obscure statements that would allow them to invalidate Rising if Kojima's own team had actually succeeded in finishing their version of it. Amusing that even long after the man is gone from the company, along with any real hope for a future for the franchise, that one game is still so effective at getting under their skin.
