Shinobi is a pretty reliable neogaffer.

[Srey Plaughtered]

In a week from now we'll have tags with real spoilers. :s

I wonder who will give TPP a lower score than GZ. "GZ was nice and tight, sense of infiltration. TPP too open."

+ Big Boss is still boss
+ Hideo Kojima's last metal gear
- Too many options
- Not enough hand holding
- Got ashamed of my words and deeds

7/10 IGN

I wish the review embargo was on the day the game releases.

 

[hammertomb]

don't do this shit please

It's a joke, relax.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I wish the review embargo was on the day the game releases.

Usually publishers can enforce 2 types of embargo's

1 for text and 1 for video

i wonder if the video embargo will end on sunday as well

It's a joke, relax.

same, its going to be rough avoiding spoilers for a week

11/10 the man who wants to rule the world is the man i love. Would buy again.

 

[Srey Plaughtered]

There's only one true score that counts, 1984/10.

 

[Embearded]

I won't accept a game score from a reviewer who hasn't S ranked every fucking mission!

I'm gonna go nuclear on anything under 90!

 

[Venom Fox]

Wonder whether we will get any new info or screens on Sunday? Could they only be allowed to talk about things we already know? Personally I can't wait for Yongs review.

It's eeeeyong heeeere weeth yor next metal gear solid 5 the phantom pain uptate.

Edit: I think it'll be 95/96 on Meta.

Reviewers usually capture gameplay from their own sessions, so we can look forward to that.

But we know Chico is Quiet. And that Venom Snake is Gray Fox. So, what's the mystery?

 

[Solidino]

Chico was Decoy Octopus, not Quiet and Paz e Kaz were the same person.

 

[Cathcart]

Otacon was the Hind D.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Otacon was the Hind D.

A Hind D?!

 

[strafer]

Big Boss is Solid Snake

 

[Anth0ny]

the mysterious disappearance of david hayter, of course

 

[Alienous]

Satan literally possesses Big Boss.

 

[Rajang]

TPP takes place in Chico's mind.

 

[Solidino]

A Hind D?!

not Hind D, but Hide D, earlier he was known as Dotacon.

 

[Lurgan1337]

Dotacon.

It's just like my CYKA CYKA BLJAD

 

[Srey Plaughtered]

Skullface is actually Kagemasa.

 

[Opto]

I've been listening to The Man Who Sold the World (Nirvana cover), and now I'm convinced that Skullface is somehow a split personality of Big Boss

How many personalities can one guy have? Maybe Ishmael is a mental trojan horse?

 

[Älg]

Calling it now: AngryJoe is going to give Phantom Pain a bad score because he dislikeS Konami, and all they care about is money, and fuck corporations grrrr.

Looks like this unused Phantom Pain promo campaign suggests that the original release date was 31st March:

Skullface is Zero.

March would have been about a year after Ground Zeroes, so I can see that as an ambitious release date.

On the designs I sort of dig the heartbeat thing in the V.

But "More Metal. More Gear. More Solid" is fucking cringe-worthy.

Was the TGS 2014 Gameplay Demonstration the only time they showed footage from Africa?

Not really spoilers since it was showed in the demonstration but I'm covering it up just in case.

Spoiler

The location shown on the map is Lufwa Valley, which makes me think its in Lufwa Kongolo, in the Republic of the Congo in Central Africa.

'From Fox two phantoms were born. A phantom battle waged by the vanished.'

I'm pretty sure that

Spoiler

Skullface does exist in flesh but dies midway, and exist only in Big Boss's mind after that.

We've seen bits and pieces since in demonstrations and trailers (there are bits of Africa shown in both of the Gamescom 2015 MGSV footage). It's also been there in trailers, particularly the early scenes shown with child soldiers.

It's just that in the E3 trailer, there's a focus on mirrors, emphasized by FOX vs XOF, Skull Face saying a bunch of stuff Big Boss said, the surreality of the scenes showing both Skullface and BB, and Skullface, other than the hat and mask, wearing exactly what BB wears in his art for MGS 1.
