So aside from the 30 minute TGS demonstration, very little of Africa, and very little of Afghanistan since they just kept showing the same 2-3 areas and only a couple of missions. I like this.

"More Metal more Gear more Solid" is one of the dumbest taglines I've ever seen, thank Boss they didn't go with that one.

The guards in GZ talk about Skullface specifically. His voice is captured on tape and isn't the same as BB's. Paz doesn't recognise Skullface as BB during her interrogation, [GZ spoilers]
she says something like "And you will help Big Boss?" to Skullface during the after-credits stinger.
He's definitely real at some point.
He's definitely real at some point.
he'll be an Ocelot/Olga style boss fight.
I saw a single poster in the window at my nearest Gamestop. There wasn't even a cardboard standup advertising the game.
yeah, I don't even have that at my nearby gamestops. it's COD, NBA 2K, Madden and Destiny seemingly at all times throughout the entire year.

I assumed the focus on mirrors to be something like Skullface and Big Boss have very similar origins. It's pretty vague and I love that, though I know Kojima could've just model switched for the trailers so even things we saw could be different in the final game.
Man that title looks pretty meh. This must be Moby Dick studios. So they decided the 2015 date very early on, interesting.

I don't know, most of the art seems based on publicly available MGSV materials so I wouldn't assume anything, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what it is.

Hmm no.
Hmm no.
That was my prediction when we were all waiting for the release date to be revealed
Would have been perfect too since May 5th was a Tuesday.

I'm sure that was the plan but they delayed for MGO. There's no way Kojima would've let V/V/201V go.
Right, but we hear and hear aboutSkull Face only from Snake's perspective. And when we actually get details about him from the MSF prisoner, he says he can't remember his face.
But it's all vague, and I love that I don't know what the hell is going on.

More Solid, ey?!
I think something very similar. I think skull face becomes more of the imaginary angel/devil that we see on people's shoulder whispering into their ears.
To the people that are still PMing me or emailing me about TPP giveaway.
So... that thread is this one.
The idea behind this is to celebrate Kojimas opus master canon saga. I think everyone that is a fan and has been a fan should have a copy of the game day one. Specially those that just don't have the means or what not. I might try to give away some more keys after release as well.
Anyways. thats that.

Yeah. I think that's why the guards made specific reference to it. I wonder how the lever action reloading will play out mechanically.
No we don't. The opening cinematic and the post credit sequence are not something Snake ever sees. Historically speaking, the stinger is something the protagonist can never know, they are always played for dramatic irony.
Also, the tapes. They're as objective as the opening cinematic.
I wrote this about it a while ago:

Ew. These dudes are straight up hacks. Their other work is pretty disgusting, too. It looks like student work.
The thing about Skullface is
It could be interesting if
he's pretty much the same person after Big Boss' 10 year coma, seemingly.
It could be interesting if
these 'words to control the subconscious' program Big Boss' mind during the coma with the Skullface personality, turning him into a sort of sleeper agent. That could explain why he is able to sleep in a bed for 10 years without someone putting a bullet in his skull, and conveniently wake up from his coma prior to an attack. Maybe it's all planned.

It's '80s as hell though. As tacky as it looks, it's kinda awesome IMO!

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

That promotional video they made that's at the bottom of the page is terrible! Everything about their promo artwork looks like bad amateur stuff you would find on deviantart.

As for what you said about Big Boss using the Skullface's sawed off lever action rifle, Big Boss has one in the gamescom trailer. I'm thinking it'll be a Walter White situation where Big Boss kills Skullface sometime before the Bathroom tape scene from the E3 trailer, he listens to the tape and then slowly takes over his mannerisms, bits of his ideologies and his weapon through the course of the game.

That'd be damn cool but it doesn't seem to fit the set-up.
Here's an unrelated thought: is it coincidence that Kojima first revealed TPP as a horror game (Moby Dick stuff) only to later work on Silent Hill? #TeamPTinTPP
Yeah, not unusual for Snakes to get
boss character's weapons.
Bowie is awesome. So many good songs.
Everytime someone brings this up... my heart breaks all over again.
Kojima taking on horror.. it was like a dream come true. Love live #TeamE!

Damn right. Saw him at Glastonbury. So good. Although I have to admit, on the whole I prefer his work with Iggy "The Legend" Pop

A battle with Quiet is confirmed ala MGS3's The End. I'm sure we'll get more, like Skullface or one of the guys in charge of the child soldiers.
I wouldn't worry.
