I just want to say that I'm amazed at Kiefer's performance. I really feel like this is a different character all together from the PW and MGS3 Big Boss. I really feel like we've got a true villain on our hands. Then there's that moment where it looks like Big Boss is really choosing his words carefully when addressing Kaz. It almost looks like he bites his lip for a second. And the tongue and lip smacking... So nuanced.
I really enjoyed that we finally got to see Big Boss take charge and make his own decision in the Quiet cutscene... Which may the first time we've seen him do this?

You might be right. A quick look at Peace Walker might give you the impression that Big Boss is subservient to Kaz.

Ever since the GZ announcement, I've loved how they have his weapon attached to the hip instead of the usual "glued to his back" set up they have for most avatars. Also, the way it sways and buckles as he moves is great too.
I love the fact that we can actually see the weapon instead of it disappearing. I know MGS always let you carry an arsenal but I'm willing to let that tradition go in favor of a more realistic inventory system.

and it's just more practical. it's alot closer to how real military personnel will carry rifles. i don't even mind that there isn't a strap per se (guess it's understood), I'm just glad it aint on his back.

Yeah but at what cost? We lost real weapon names
i don't think these two things are in any way related

So have we found out what that's all about yet? Did konami not want to pay for licensing like everybody was mentioning?
Yeah I was joking.
That's probably it but I can't imagine they cost a lot. But EA said screw it and still uses gun brands without paying (source) so who knows.
Licensing products can be pricey. I remember Medal of Honor: Warfighter featuring weapons from top tier weapons manufacturers; Daniel Defense, Aimpoint, LaRue Tactical, etc. It's a shame the game didn't do too well.
As far as MGSV is concerned, I've made my peace with it featuring fictional, albeit hybrid types of real world weapons.

Maybe the PC community will make/edit in genuine weapons whenever TPP arrives for them. Hopefully, I will have a new PC to max out (or close to) TPP by then.

I've been sour about this since the reveal of weapons being fictional. The designs aren't even of real weapons, but mash ups. Every single MGS game prior has real world weapons (with a mix of sci-fi guns too) and sometimes they're even important to the storyline. For example, Ocelot's Single Action Army being featured numerous times & it being his signature weapon. I wonder how that'll work in TPP. Also when Raiden pointed out that the Gurlukovich soldiers on the Big Shell were armed with Russian gear and AN-94's on the outside and how he had to carry an AKS-74u to get to the shell 1 core. If they have a weapons expert talk to us on radio about the fake guns, that'll be dumb as shit.

Yeah, I'm also disapointed in it, but I just handwave is at custom MSF/Diamond Dog weapons, maybe Cipher and other characters still have real ones.

The US soldiers in Guantanamo Bay in Ground Zeroes were using the fictional spinoffs.

this sucks
Yeah, this. Every gun in the game is fictional. The Marines in Gitmo didn't even have a rifle that remotely resembled the M16 service rifles lol.

^ Rose's eyes freak me out in that screenshot.
The Marines also didn't have their sleeves rolled up during the daytime missions. Would've been nice. haha

I'm counting on the VGA's. A random Kojima station wouldn't be dramatic enough for Kojima's tastes.
VGA's new trailer with release date and David Hayter on stage.

The VGAs would be appropriate considering it'll be the 2 year anniversary of Phantom Pain's announcement
It's time to face the music #TeamA
Let's have an event dedicated entirely to Metal Gear instead.

Lol I hear that bro.

Fun how so many here are highly speculating the latter half of the game leading into an mg1-2 remake.If, for some reason (because I highly doubt this or a hayter appearance to happen), this is the case I for one would love to see the game devolve into itself until it got to that point. Imagine that kinda mind fuckery? What I mean by this is that the gameplay and graphical fidelity would start to "downgrade" into the prior iteration of each game until it cycled into (or a point leading up to) mg1.

lol, I appreciate your faith. Never change Sn4ke.
Wow. Better be worth it
It will be.
Well a couple of years of that is working on the FOX engine but yeah it's ridiculous. But you can't say the final product doesn't take advantage of that time.
Anyway there's a big PSN sale for Konami stuff right now with plenty of Metal Gear games included!
Should be an interesting watch.
Yeah he's so funny and very entertaining. I love how he keeps doing his Snake voice during interviews and panels. It's a great watch.
Haha, his LIQUIIIIIIIIID scream at around 24 minutes was amazing :lol

HYPE
I'm sorry to break it to you, but your hype is misplaced. It's not likely that there will be much of anything new. Proceed with a grain of salt.

b.. but they wouldn't lie to me...
or would they? :/
or would they? :/
Do you really think they'd show us new stuff or anything major if it wasn't hyped up weeks in advance on Kojima's twitter page?

I wouldn't be surprised if Kojima sits this one out and the new footage is just rehashed and "new to Russia".

Can't wait to see the rest of this ensemble. If/when unlocked, I'll wear it from the mountains of Afghanistan to the jungles of Africa and beyond. lol
