Definitely. Akio knocks it out of the park. I really wish Sean Eyestone could have put a little more enthusiasm in his version of the presentation, especially after hearing the Japanese version. His other ones were still good, but just can't compete with Akio, and he even sounded a bit more tired than usual in this one. Pretty disappointing, but fantabulous gameplay nonetheless.
I like this comment from Reddit too (except for the personalities thing, not sure what he's on about there):
Tbh I was looking forward to the return of the mullet
Why do I keep on getting the top page post??

You're old school vet for me. Like everyone else who was here before me
I''m maybe late with cheering but I'm always late here. Damn timezones
There's so much going on in here that some post may become lost, especially when there's new gameplay video and everyone's talking about it.
To answer your question I got to say this: I want to Koijma make any type of game because anything he touches turn into pure gold.
If he would make a COD type game then Activision could just stop making any new CODs beacause Kojima's creation could declass it.
I just love Assassin's Creed games but with each new game it's worse and worse. First one was the greatest, so Kojima should make a reboot of the series making medieval AC and it would be the greatest game of all time 'cause Kojima's attention to detail.
Lol dude.. Under a BOX
Do you guys realise that in 53/54 days it will be the last day when we can say "The best is yet to come."
That can be used in many facets of life.
Sure, but what I meant was in relation to the MGS.
I understand. It's very bittersweet.
Gamersyde HQ alternate E3 gameplay video is up.

So, what do you guys think about this game's time span? Do you think the entire story will be told in 1984, or...? Personally, I see a time jump to the early-to-mid 90's. Maybe even a true ending scenario ala Peace Walker!

Maybe upgraded magazine becomes lighter and makes more noise?

Looks like every single item in the game is upgradeable.
I wonder how you can upgrade the magazine.
I was thinking, did you guys see the extended magazine on the machine gun? Maybe we can use those in the field? Hmmm...

Hmmmm, you could in GZ during Reflex Mode if you hit them in the right spot-- maybe you can just knock them out without it with it upgraded more?

You can knock them out with a magazine even without Reflex, if you throw it really high in the air and it lands on their head.

You don't have to throw it high it just needs to connect at exactly the right time when they first notice you (guessing it's while the red exclamation is there)
This video shows both techniques for anyone who hasn't seen it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryeA_JELvYA

A star rank doesn't necessarily mean it's upgradeable, everything was ranked in PW too. If you can upgrade it they could make the noise go further or something.
I'm surprised it's infinite again, I thought they'd changed that in an older demo?
I'm not sure if there will be a time jump to the nineties but regardless I think it's unlikely that the whole game will be in 1984, I'm expecting the main story to take place in a 1-2 years span at least
LOL this video is freakin amazing.

I updated with the right link as that one only has Reflex mode on, the new one is better
hahaha man I've never seen that amazing.

Oh, that's even better then. That's the insane video where I first discovered that you don't even need Reflex Mode lol.
I'm just intent on a time skip to the 90's, if not only for the fact that Kojima said he "was not done with Snake".
He said this while being 100% serious about this being the last MGS.
Its just logical to me.
If it doesn't end on a Solid Snake high note then I'll be sad, very sad.
I thought he was always called McDonnell Benedict Miller in MGS1?
I'm thinking that when Zero created his Patriot System that we now know controls the world through a common language (English) it's more then likely the system causes everyone to change their names to a more simpler, English one as well, so Kaz probably changed it to McDonnell for the system?
^^^ LOL

That's part of his name from the MG2 Manual. In fact, I'm not sure any of his first names ever appeared in the actual games before, except for Kaz.

What I don't get is when Miller left Big Boss in the 90's and later joined FoxHound, did he not realise that Big Boss was the Commander?
I never played MG1 sorry
Retcons. I was honestly surprised to see them include the Benedict moniker for Kaz. I thought it would've been logical for kojima to have him drop kazuhira, which means "peace", in the name of vengeance.

Yeah this struck me too. Especially considering a lot of trailers have
shown a bit of tension between BB and Kaz.
I think the answer, though, as to why he 'left' to join FOXHOUND has to be answered in the game
- my unbased theory being Diamond Dogs and FOXHOUND are very closely related

Miller isn't in MG1, which is the only game where Big Boss is the commander of Foxhound. He's support in MG2, which is after Big Boss has been taken down the first time.
Did Snake say in MGS4 that he learned CQC from Big Boss?
When he gets asked on codec?
WTF DID I DO AGAIN, UNCLE BRAU!!!
Nah he was in FoxHound, cos he trained snake bro, that's why Snake calls him Master.

Just had one of my best GZ main mission runs today. The new video getting me motivated.
Yeah. I watched that codec call yesterday and, honestly, felt sort of like a cringey acknowledgement of a retcon.
Otacon calls and asks snake where he learned it and why he hasn't used it before. He says he learned it from BB, but after BB's betrayal he actively tried to not use it, until post MGS 1 (or was it 2) where BB's history was declassified and tons of people started to learn "cookie cutter imitations of CQC," which leads Snake to use the techniques simply out of muscle memory.

What kills me is that it is so hard to get people to play the old games. MGS1 is so old now that it is really, really, really, really, really difficult to get emotionally attached. Same with MGS2 and 3. And 4 is getting long in the tooth too.
But not just visually. Even gameplay wise, these games are hard and cumbersome for modern day gamers.
Don't Konami realize that people would pay 60 Dollars for a Remake of 1, 2, 3 and 4 each, all within the MGS5 Engine/Combat/graphics?
It's what Big Boss Deserves. Can't a new rookie team be put on remaking them, just moving assets over and updating everything faithfully? GTA5 being bigger than all the other games, the biggest problem would be to update the thematic and cut scenes.
I wonder if the choreography of MGS1 would be impressive at all today!
Shit.

I would love a time skip. Even if the game is showing Boss' descent into darkness, he's still the protagonist, so a time skip could allow us to see him as a true villain rather than anti-hero.
I assume this is what Konami will do next. Reboot the series with a remake of 1 but then go in a different direction with the sequels (read: make much more straightforward sequels, little emphasis on "high-brow/philisophical themes).

3 would. But thinking about it, if open-world games cost more to develop than linear games then I doubt the post-Kojima Konami would make them!
Wonder if we will get buddy "loyalty" missions similar to mass effect that would impact your relationship
One idea would be Quiet's loyalty mission where you have to locate the person that made her quiet ... when you locate the person it turns out they would be a great resource for MB... you have two choices...
Execute the person (or let her do it) and improve your relationship
Or
Bring the person back to MB and get excellent rewards but have your relationship be affected

Anyone watching Twitch plays Ghost Babel?
I thought about it. What if in MGS1 we can start from the sea, and the part where we meet the wolfs for the first time and the one where we fight sniper wolf(the second time) are much larger? It could be a decent open world game in that case.
For MGS2 it can be a little more complex, but maybe playing the story of Raiden and then the one of Snake(as Pliskin), in that case the game would be long(and renewed) enough even if it isn't an open world game.
As for MGS 3, PO, PW, 4, MG and MG2:SS, they can be all open world games.
I actually really dig this idea.
