Everything poops, pees, and vomits in Metal Gear Solid, don't you know that by now?

Seriously, this isn't surprising at all - It simply the natural progression of Kojima's vision. It's his Rule 34; If it exists, it will poop.
 

Tohuvabohu

Not entirely serious, maybe.

Vomit and pee, sure. But I'm not sure about the former.

I mean, we've controlled Big Boss quite a few times by now. MGS3 featured a pretty extensive system around nutrition.

And I don't remember Big Boss ever having to scope out a stump in the jungle.

Pull his pants down.

Tenderly, yet stealthily, squat low behind the stump. All the while remaining vigilant of the hidden dangers of the jungle, or a stray patrol of soldiers.

And squeeze out a hot fudge sundae, in full view of all the alligators and snakes and birds in the jungle.

Not once, did we ever get to make the decision to drop a chocolate monkey in the woods. And I made that poor bastard eat some really foul things.

Maybe that was the point of Johnny's character all along. For the rest of the MGS cast to live vicariously through him. All of them cursed with being unable to let slip not even the slightest whisper of a fart. Johnny is there NOT to shit on himself, but to shit for everyone else.

Anyway, I'm glad to see Kojima decided to establish an HSRD [Horse Shit Research Division] to capture as much realism as possible. MGSV sounds like it will set the bar for next-gen experiences for the next decade.

Whoa, the fulton recovery system is used here? You have a base of operations that you can build up? Horses poop? Yes... yes indeed.

If you watch enemy soldiers for long enough, do they poop themselves or have to go empty their bowels? Are there mealtimes to refill their stomachs? Crazy.

I think we're all missing out on the most important thing here:

The box is back, and better than ever. You can pop out of the top and shoot/hold up enemy soldiers. You can also pull enemies into the box and have them retrieved with the Fulton Recovery System. If you?re detected, you can also dive out of the front of the box and let enemies examine a completely empty box, doubling its usefulness.

They've made The Box useful. The Box can't be useful! The entire charm of The Box was that it never fucking worked!

Next gen suckers! Yeeeeaaaah!

Man, Kojima's so crazy. The attention to detail in his games (well MGS at least) is stupidly great.
For example, weather forecasts can sometimes be wrong.
Of course they can be, but I bet many other designers would just make it 100% accurate because video games.

Really looking forward to this game, the gameplay in Ground Zeroes was so good, I just want more of that.

You can picture it. It's your first day as a junior software developer at Konami. You've been added to the Metal Gear Solid team, working on their next title. You're thrilled; it's what you've always wanted.

You seat yourself down at your desk. Your manager gives you a folder containing your first assignment, right in your hot little hands. This is it. This is where your career starts. You open the folder and...

Glorious.

The Turing test doesn't have anything on this.

This is Hideo Kojima we're talking about here. This is the same guy that wanted real-time ice-melting in MGS2. He is the absolute master of adding in pointless stuff like that.
