MGSV:TPP LAUNCH TRAILER

Nice-spoiler free- (unless you wanted to wait and see what the Metal gear looks like)

-Skullface thing seems just like a framing montage-not so much more than that-

This is what I am thinking/hoping otherwise damn Kojima why you have to do that.
Launch trailer was good, but I still prefer the diamond dogs one.

That looks more advanced then the stuff in MSG1,2, and 3 and maybe 4?
 
REX is the best. Absolutely iconic and timeless design, and best captures the sense of Metal Gear being a walking, mobile Nuclear tank.

This new one looks a LOT like REX, until it stands upright. I guess a continuity explanation could be that REX was built from the same rough blueprints, but either walking upright was deemed impractical or they just didn't have the resources to achieve another exact duplicate.

This looking more advanced than REX is fairly easy to get around, I think.

Yes, and i'm perfectly ok with it.

Having the series constantly go back and forth in time would often put you against metal gears that are less menacing/surprising/spectacular than the last one you fought.

This is the LAST metal gear you're ever going to fight. How anti-climatic it would be if it actually looked like something from 1984.


I wouldn't want that.

Shagohod was fine. You can make primitive technology just as menacing as futuristic tech. It's all about context.

It was fine in MGS3, fitting and menacing enough.

But this is Kojima's last metal gear. It needed something Majestic. Although i would have liked a different design personally
 
Jesus Christ, somebody from the Middle East is streaming TPP on YouTube. It's the fucking Wild West man!!!

Actually I don't know if it's the Middle East. The letters in the title look squiggly, so there you go.
 
That Metal Gear is fucking out-of-this-world. Amazing, I love it.

When do the Zone of the Enders series take place? How possible is it for it and Metal Gear to be set in the same universe?
 
The scene at the end with Snake, Kaz and co walking also has a wolf with one eye? and the blonde kid that we think is young Liquid? Seems super interesting to me lol. I need to go back and watch some of the other trailers.

Looking more advanced than REX doesn't really mean much if it isn't actually as powerful or has the same features. We can't forget RAY was a piece of shit compared to REX.

RAY was designed specifically to trample REX clones. It's superior as an attack vehicle. REX is a nuclear launch platform with limited self-defense.
 
Probably. I'm sure if it was at least decent it'd be enjoyable when used in the right context.

In the context of the trailers, I think the songs are fine. When I watch the trailers I don't think "Ugh, this awful music." It's the idea of listening to the songs outside of the trailer that makes me go o_O
 
Sahelanthropus... That names a doozy! Sa-hee-LAN-throw-poos? Is that it?
I keep accidentally putting an N between the sa/he. Feels more natural to say Sanhelanthropus. Whoops.

Heres a vid that supposedly explains how to say it but I cant listen to it right now.

I miss the simple days of Rex and Ray, Zeke.

I've been pronouncing it sa-lan-thropus, I'm probably wrong.

That could be it, it's a weird combination of letters. Maybe sahe=Say. Say-lan-thropus.
Maybe someone could just watch the video above and let me know.

Could be Dubai. My understanding is they are responsible for a lot of broken street dates and early streaming. (It's a stereotype, but maybe someone pulling up to a GameStop in a Bugatti and flashing a ton of cash is a pretty good incentive to ignore the "Don't Sell Before" sticker?)
 
How are people saying 2:50 is a spoiler? That wouldn't even make sense.
You see Skullface and Big Boss both in Ground Zeroes
. Seems more like a commentary on the running theme of the game,
the more you fight, the more you become like those you are fighting

Man, I have been on complete black out for this game since the very end of Ground Zeroes. This is the first new media I've seen for MGSV since then. I am so ridiculously hyped.

This is very sad knowing this trailer is the last piece of metal gear anything that Hideo Kojima will work on :(

Having just watched the E3 trailer, I think the blond kid is
a clone of either Paz or The Boss

Because
the voice over at the end says Les Enfant Terrible - not les enfants terrible. And he also says "thats what they called her."
 
I hope like hell this preloads. I just scheduled to take Sept 1st off. Just like I did with MGS4, I am going to play and beat this thing in one glorious, long sitting.

I can't believe this is the last Metal Gear game I will ever play. I loved this series so much.
 
New Metal Gear looks awesome, I'm not sure how the missing link is more advanced (at least in appearance) than it's later counter part though. Good name, If I'm correct, sahelanthropus is one of our bipedal ancestors.
 
Maybe, after all these years, Kojima will finally do it, and this game will involve time travel.

What a complete, immense mind fuck this would be if
we find ourselves playing a young solid snake at some point

Sounds like an awesome plan! Do you really think that's possible though? Game seems pretty big. Regardless I'm wondering if I should skip the next day of school.

I dunno, but since I'm the (big) boss of my own company, if need be, I'll just take the next day off too lol.

This is a huge treat for myself. I indulge myself heavily with Metal Gear. I absolutely adore the series.

1 day? I have the whole week off. :P

There are reasons behind it tho.

The Patriots suppressed a lot of the technology in that era all the way up until there information was leaked post-MGS4.

In fact we will be seeing a lot more technology that was expanded on in Rising probably.

Pretty sure you just misheard.
It shows two kids and Skull Face says "The chain of retaliation is what will truly bind this world as one......Les Enfants Terrible, Zero called it."
 
I have no idea what Hideo Kojima will do after he leaves Konami, but where ever he goes, I will be there day 1. Yu Suzuki, Shigeru Miyamoto, Hideo Kojima - the three greatest video game auteurs on the planet IMO. I own every single Hideo Kojima game - from Penguin Adventure to SD Snatcher to Boktai and everything else in between.

I can't believe this is the end for Kojima and Konami.
 
I read it as "Suh-hay-lon-thrau-pus." It rolls off the tongue more for me.

I'm so glad I get paid the day this comes out, otherwise I would have had to wait another week.

I think as far as the Metal Gears being more advanced, maybe it'll be explained? Maybe everything will be destroyed and only some of the plans are retrieved. Hence the relatively same design to Rex.
 
You know what blows my mind?

Metal Gear Solid 1 was released 8 years after MG2: Solid Snake

And it's been 7 years since MGS4
