The only mgs i didnt buy on launch day was mgs4. Man, 1998 was a different time. I beat that game at least a month after i bought it. Spoilers were never a worry. Even mgs2, i was all over the net then, but i can't recall having to avoid certain areas of the web to spare myself. Mgs3 and 4 were the true tests. I didn't touch any of the fan sites or message boards for a while to stay spoil free. Mgs4 was the hardest because i didn't get a ps3 until late 08. Let's just say that if i could do that, i can do anything.

I'm shocked that I managed to avoid MGS 4 spoilers for as long as I did. I played when they finally introduced trophies which was quite a while after launch.
How is that even possible :lol
The good thing about MGS games is that a) they have ton of content and playtime compared to regular games and b) Hideo Kojima makes them which means not everything that is presented to us will be exactly as in the game.
Kojima talks about "luxurious guest" (yeah i know google translate) on twitter so i would assume he talks about special guests?!
Maybe Troy Baker? that would be so cool ..........or David Hayter to be on the TGS stage?
but it's more likely some japanese voice actors such as Akio Ōtsuka (The voice of Snake) will be on stage.
Still very exciting to hear what they think about MGSV. I hope we get an english translation for this presentation.

I just finished MGS 3 for the first time, what a thrill!
Since I was playing the HD version of the game I got to play with the free camera angle which of course is pretty liberating. I am however glad that it also gives you the opportunity to still play in the fixed camera angle style of 1, 2 and original 3! The carefully crafted camera's are pretty obtrusive from a gameplay perspective while sneaking but it is used to great effect in sense of style. For example when walking through the overhead corridor from the middle to the west part of the base is pretty boring in regular 3rd person view but in the fixed perspective you get a really cool shot of Snake running past the Shagohod (foreshadowing) and you see him cross the bridge from outside (feel of accomplishment).
Camera work in games is something I'm pretty interested in and getting to play with two very different styles within the same game is pretty damn cool!
Since it was my first time playing the story was also pretty cool, finally getting some back story on Big Boss. I'm pretty sure that soon I will go through the game for a second time!

Luxurious guest sounds someone like Kiefer Sutherland. But yep, beeing the TGS it's more common Japanese actors.
Shouldn't it be "Ocelots" instead of Bulls?Just give that release date, that's all you need to do. MGS GAF will be all like:

My Gamestop "pro" membership is about to expire, so i spent the points on Metal Gear posters. The Legacy one came in today and has a flip side to it. The Ground Zeroes one i got a couple months ago. They're actually pretty rad and quite large. Its a real bummer they have ESRB ratings, but i guess it makes it look more like a movie poster.

Joakim Noah to Derrick Rose:
"You're a legend in the eyes of those who live on the basketball court. That's why you have to handle this late-game situation yourself. Put those two years on ice, and return... as D. Rose. That's how Coach Thibodeau would want it. I'll be sending additional plays by hand signal. Stay sharp. Not one of Thib's bench players contributed -- and they were good. All we found on the floor were their empty stats and these... *Wins* He'll be missing them, and you're his only chance of getting 'em back.
Now, go! Let the legend come back to life..."

No way! There now gone on the site! I also got a FF6 sprite poster from them and they never brought that back, so i guess these things are first come first serve. I havent shopped at a Gamestop in a year, so this is it for me.
I'm sure HGW and Akiro Honda will do an amazing job as usual with the music (same with Ludvig, his GZ motif is awesome), I must admit I'm very disappointed with Konami's decision to stop hiring Norihiko Hibino for some of the music. MGS2 and MGS3's background music during gameplay were probably the most memorable because of this guy. I think MGS4's soundtrack suffered because of his exclusion.
The MGS2 BGM is so amazing. Why would they stop hiring him!?

MGS's background music doesn't get enough love. I wonder if we'll get random Donna Burke WOAH HOOOO's while playing TPP. I suppose it already happens when you take out the e-cig.

I love MGS1's music for it's cheesy 80's action flick feeling. Unfortunatly a lot of the music that plays during cutscenes was never released. Some dude tried to rip out the voices and other sound effects a few years ago but didn't get very far.

Yeah, honestly, I like the background music playing during the Afghanistan mission. Subtle, but I think it's cool that the music amplifies as you approach enemy territory. Pretty neat way of doing it, I think!

Sins of the Father has given me enough confidence in the soundtrack. If I have have never seen a trailer for MGS V but I listened to that song I could accurately guess how sorrowful and tragic the story will be, not to dissimilar to the Greek tragedies of heroes facing their downfall. That's the sign of a perfect theme.

This game will have so much replayability. There are hundreds of ways to approach this situation and the best thing the soldiers positions can be different depending on the time of day or every time you play this mission, if you headshotted everyone the first time they will wear helmets now and so on...
THIS. FUCKING. GAME.

wuttt did I miss something what trailaer this gif from?
E3 2013
It's from E3 2013. Reason I posted it is because I was being picky about those two soldiers standing guard going through the exact same animation at nearly the exact same time.
"Zooooooom"
Can't speak ill of the MGS soundtrack, don't think there's a poor track in there at all.

i'm getting some de ja vu here, haven't we had this conversation before?
That opening has always bothered me. How can they just not even feel the need to move their legs!?
Cartoons
Probably.
so awesome when you're driving down the tunnel with liquid chasing after you. can't believe they swapped it with some german trance in TTS

The guards adapting to your previous playthroughs really excites me for the replayability aspect but I know it's gonna end up annoying me when I try to S rank them

They removed Encounter and all it's variations like Duel, Escape etc. I get why they would want to add more variety to the soundtrack but it was so iconic! They could have at least included it once.so awesome when you're driving down the tunnel with liquid chasing after you. can't believe they swapped it with some german trance in TTS

Is that like the Texan version of the Phantom Cigar?

i wonder how this will actually be implemented. I mean, will this be in affect while actually playing the game, or is it active in a new game + mode, or alternatively does this suggest that missions will be replayable from within the main game.

i always hated the bootleg speed theme in mgs1 (and later continue screens), but the background music in mgs1 is undoubtedly the best in the series...never really liked the more uptempo jazzy BGM in mgs2.
love what i've heard from GZ and TPP thus far. especially the teaser at the end of GZ
i presume it will be just like peace walker.
