Metal Gear Solid V announced (PS360, open world)

Ishmael, you mean?
You'd go from the POV of Ishmael right before the coma to the POV of Big Boss upon waking up. Not impossible, naturally, but don't you think it would make sense for that first person perspective to belong to the same character?
Then, there's that thing about the piece of shrapnel. Unless Big Boss somehow got it during his coma, something doesn't fit, there.
And why would Big Boss still be bandaged like that after 9 years of coma?

obviously :)
 
What a goddamn clusterfuck, releasing this game as a two part endeavor on the eve of a new console generation.

So, do you release the first part of the game on PS3 and the next part on PS4, or both on PS3 and PS4? Does GZ come out before PS4?

More importantly: Which game contains MGO?

Neither, that'll be a separately released game. ;)
 
Sounds great actually. It was clear after MGS4 they really needed to take a new approach to the series.

Looking forward to gameplay at E3.
 
How does everyone feel about the separate releases thing? I'm pumped that we will probably be able to play it earlier now, and I'm not too disappointed about having to pay more than $60. I don't think Kojima will cheap out on content and it sounds like he's really trying to load the games with tons of cutscenes and story telling.
fixed.
 
Sounds like this with be the MGS equivalent of Crysis 1 in gameplay, as in approaching encounters your way, instead of some predetermined fashion.

Sounds awesome.
 
Are we sure Ground Zeroes takes place before Phantom Pain? When Snake says "Kept you waiting, huh?" I thought that was an apology for being in a coma for 9 years.

I doubt it. Snake is wearing his MSF sneaking suit. I think he was asking to us or maybe to Chico and Paz being held captive...
 
Well, yeah, since everyone seems to think this is Ocelot.
The coat and cowboy boots pretty much confirms it
Same with the reference/back story to Mantis in MGS4 confirms thats Mantis is the trailer
(remember I said ages ago they always reference something from the sequel in the games, theres always a hint?)
 
No chance it's not Ocelot. Well, as close to no chance as you can get with Kojima. Red gloves, cowboy boots with spurs, red scarf, same coat he wore on the Tanker in MGS2, long grey hair, riding a horse like the cowboy he's always longed to be. The facial structure might not be the same, but this is Metal Gear Solid we're talking about, where every character gets a new face every time KojiPro changes their technology.
 
Kojima's comment about being able to infiltrate different areas in real-time, and that affecting how you accomplish it, is pretty exciting. And even how you get there might change. Sounds like his open world concept is more than just lip service. I'm glad that he's taking MGS off the rails.

It sounds weird at first, but it makes sense to me

GZ is what we are going to play until TPP is being released. This is a whole new Metal Gear Solid since they changed so much, so I'm pretty glad that we get GZ as kind of "training" for that new kind of gameplay they are bringing to the table.

It's a preparation for something huge and I will play GZ until I understand every single mechanic of that game

I'm ok with it.
I want to play this thing as soon as possible.

If there's a game i have no problem shelling out money for is this.
 
There was a guy on GameFAQs back in the ramp up to MGS3 saying that everybody was an idiot and that it would ACTUALLY be Solid Snake reliving Big Boss's memories through time travel/VR.

It's hard to go overboard when you're speculating about an MGS game, but some people still manage to do so.
Well, if you think about it the guy predicted the main plot point of Assassin's Creed. :D
 
It's a fucking piece of glass or debris lodged in his head, I don't know how the fuck people leaped right into the most ridiculous possibility of calling it a horn, an extremely rare condition someone can have.

So watching the interview, I was right. Now I see how fans sensationalize every little thing to such a ridiculous extent.
 
So Kojima isn't letting Hayter do the voice to make the difference of MGSV clear. But the Japanese VA hasn't changed, so there must be some other reason.

Kiefer Sutherland to play Solid Snake in upcoming Metal Gear Solid film.

It's not difficult to understand. They didn't take the English voices seriously in the past, which is why they just gave David Hayter the role of Snake every time. Since this is Kojima's last Metal Gear, he's going to be picky.
 
So in the GT interview Kojima actually confirms that the shown gameplay is running on PC and that the PS360 versin will look "close to it". Like I thought before, the gameplay demo we are seeing is actually nextgen material.

No, it's not. He didn't say it was nextgen material whatsoever.
 
man i wish it was kojima's last metal gear.

even george lucas realized he should quit. but i'm sure kojima has other ideas in his head outside of this universe.
 
They have confirmed that the games are running on PC since the Ground Zeroes demo. It's NOT news. After they showed Ground Zeroes he said it was running on a PC with specs targeting current gen PS3/360 consoles. Before they showed the Phantom Pain gameplay, he said it was running on a PC targeting current gen PS3/360 consoles. In this interview he says the demo was running on a PC targeting current gen PS3/360 consoles.

SAME.FUCKING.THING.EACH.TIME.

Indeed, and just look at it:

720p, aliasing everywhere, dithering everywhere.

It's not next-gen, it's not some high-end PC, it will look, more or less, like that on PS360.

I'm sure he does, but I really think he's going to reinvent MGS with this game, so it should be fun even for those who have had enough of MGS.

So what was that taboo game he was talking about? Could the missing link to this game be something taboo? (child soldier?) Or is he planning another game?
 
No, it's not. He didn't say it was nextgen material whatsoever.

Of course not. He said "I can't comment on nextgen". The PC version which is running inhouse will probably look the same on PS4, maybe 720. Why should they even show something which looks like that but never release it in the end? If this isn't the next gen version, this is probably the worst case of bullshootting we've ever seen.

@duckroll

I know that this is no news. However, many people still believe that the shown gameplay demo is possible on PS360 looking just like that - which it isn't.
 
Kojima wouldn't want to be lumped together with the competition by the western devs and their numerals so he went with roman numerals for the new MGS game. So, did he not get the memo about GTA V, AssCreed IV and Saints Row IV?
 
Of course not. He said "I can't comment on nextgen". The PC version which is running inhouse will probably look the same on PS4, maybe 720.

This isn't the next-gen version because the next-gen version will look much better. I don't see why you fail to understand that. The PC is not a static platform. Just because they are running this demo on a PC does not mean this is the best it can look on any PC. This ia deliberately scaled back PC build to show people what to roughly expect from the current-gen versions. It might not look exactly the same, but it'll be pretty close with regards to polycount, lighting, etc.

That's why people are telling you this is NOT the next-gen version.
