I'll see your Tidus and raise you a Vaan.
So far the only info we have is that you get the day one stuff on steam at launch without preordering. Idk if it's the same on consoles.

Such feels. I remember having played as Solid Snake at my friend's house before I got my copy. When I did and I was in control of Raiden, I didn't mind him at first because I thought I'd be given control of Solid as soon as possible. Of course, I was wrong.
So how did I feel about Raiden? Like you, any negativity stemmed from not playing as Solid as opposed to hating the character of Raiden. I eventually got used to him and for reasons we all know now (or will find out), Raiden is a beloved character who's earned his place. Pity how he had to go about it but there you go.

So I'm taking the first week of September off from work in order to marathon MGSV. I'll also go on video game-related internet blackout starting around mid-August in order to enjoy all the Hayter, Dr. Canavero, Gray Fox, Solid Snake and MG1 remake related twists unspoiled.
Any of you guys acting similarly paranoid in preparation of TPP?

I'm pretty sure most of my distaste for Raiden has to do with Quintin Flynn's boarderline insulting performance, as when playing the japanese versions he sounds like as much of a badass as Snake.
In that respect then Quinton Flynn's performance better suits the character than the japanese counterpart. Raiden develops greatly during MGS2, and by the end of the game - all will become clear

Yes, I think there's an argument for that. If I were casting for Raiden and doing the voice direction, I'd aim for a voice that sounds awkward and out of place as a gun-toting secret agent, but eventually sounds comfortable as a sleek, modern samurai. MGS2 to me is partially about Raiden finding himself, becoming his own character rather than a poor imitation of someone else. Even his visual design feels off until he gets the katana that the rest of his look was clearly designed around. People complain about his design in MGS4 and MGR but that's clearly where the character was going from the beginning. He was always designed around his sword and always looked off without it.In that respect then Quinton Flynn's performance better suits the character than the japanese counterpart.

Bloodborne was harder to wait. I think this'll be easier, because it's at the start of the month, not the end.

Hey MG GAF. I thought about making a thread for this but I thought posting here might be more appropriate.
Am I crazy for wanting the PS3 version of Phantom Pain more than the "better" versions?
I have a perfectly capable PC that plays Ground Zeroes at good framerates, but I played Ground Zeroes on PS3 first and was totally OK with it; even after going back from the PC version the performance seems more than acceptable.
There are a few things that are swaying me with the PS3 version:

There are a few things that are swaying me with the PS3 version:
- I could have pretty much every relevant Metal Gear game on one platform. MG1&2, MGS1234, Peace Walker, Ground Zeroes, Phantom Pain
- Boxes are cool? Having a boxed PS3 copy makes more sense than a boxed PC version to me for some reason.
- I'm like totally impressed that it even runs on PS3, even if the framerate dips kinda hard sometimes. Here's this nearly photorealistic game engine and oh yeah it works great on that system from 2006.
- Something about 10 year lifecycles?
I guess it's personal preference but i can understand your reasoning for grabbing the PS3 version. I'd imagine in terms of MGO3 you'd have a bigger community on PS3, plus the added benefit of being able to play it on launch, having to wait 15 days if you're a huge fan means avoiding the internet for a whole two weeks in case of spoilers would royally suck.
I'm grabbing it on PS4 then will probably double-dip on PC for mods/4K at a later date, like you probably with a steam sale or something!

I'm getting it on three plaforms (and possibly 2 PS4 copies) and I'm surr some people on here will be getting it on all 5 platforms so no, it's not crazy at all. Crazy would be buying the $1000 worth of play arts and revoltech figures being released for this game... which, yeah, I have all those ordered too. ×_×

Just customization options were briefly shown.
There is no coop campaign. That was confirmed a while ago, sorry.

I can see why you'd want every MGS on one console, but if I were you, I'd buy it on PC first and get the PS3 version second. Then again, the PC version drops two weeks after, so if you're gonna get both eventually it probably makes sense to just get the PS3 version first.

The gif isn't perfect, but this is probably one of my favourite moments of the last trailers because of the incredible details.

Welcome to all the new members!
Perfectly reasonable! No one here is gonna tell you you're off your rocker, mate, this is the Metal Gear community after all! ^_^ Also, one more benefit to the PS3 version - custom soundtracks; this feature was present in Ground Zeroes on PS3/X360 but absent from all other versions, so that's pretty neat!

Brotherrrr! My guess would be after, but I haven't the slightest clue-- a thing I love about these trailers is that after about 4 or 5 hours worth of footage, we still don't have the context to put anything in place (except for the E3 2015 trailer extending a bit of what we have seen already)! What do you think?!

So how good is this looking for an unquestionable September 1st release? I wanna book the day off asap but don't want this getting delayed in typical fashion and I can't waive my holiday request in time.

yeah brother i am so glad the trailers we've seen so far has not spoiled us something that is major

A delay less than two months before release for a major title like this is almost unheard of, especially considering Kojima has said many times that he finds delays embarassing and prefers to avoid them as much as possible by waiting as long as possible to announce a release date---which was the case with MGSV. If you want to be safe though, just don't ask off until the game has officially gone gold, and don't expect the multiplayer to be functional until at least the 15th or so.

I don't think it'll get delayed. But you never know.
Edit: And why is it #MGSweek ?

Grabbing PS3 copy for similar reasons. Hopefully, Q1 2016, I'll get a PS4 + TPP (yes, I'm gonna own two copies even though I can almost hear XBox owners laughing)

Digital pre orders are already available on the PSN store.
Preload will happen closer to release
Steam & xbox pre orders will happen later hopefully

I didn't mind Raiden, he developed well.

I think the player could somewhat sympathize with Raiden since he kind of is the player.
I dunno.. first place that popped up in my mind.
Here in NA.. on PS4 i was able to digital preorder it, and it does have the ability to preload. On PC there is nothing yet.

If you want to get the PC version you probably can't preorder and preload, they will probably handle it in the same way as they did with Ground Zeroes. This means that you will only be able to buy it after it has been released and there will be no preload.

You could even do this one.

Yep, last gen benefits.
I believe Tora is talking to folks over at Valve to allow the preload option for MGSV. Correct me if I'm wrong.
