No, not Revengence. No, not Ground Zeroes.


I have no idea what to even think about this game; except that it reminds me a lot of both FEAR and that Asylum game that everyone got worked up over that's also coming out at some point in the future.

I would have liked it a lot better if it wasn't coated with typical Kojima.
Let's scramble his name up, make a false company and have a trailer for a fake game that is actually another MGS title slightly incognito.

Only way it could be any more Kojima is if I had to fiddle with my monitor settings just to watch it.
Yes, the man's name is quite apt for an adjective.

Anyway...I don't really think much of it.
If it's indeed "Metal Gear Solid V" like the background lines supposedly imply, I'd be interested to see as to how they managed to continue the story on from IV.

I think it might have something to do with the Les Enfants Terribles project. They proved that it's still a viable method of cloning, since they made Solidus long after the fact. It's also been revealed in supplementary material that Solid and Liquid are actually the ninth batch of clones. Although the soldiers in Phantom Pain seem too...'advanced' for that time period (Although the prosthetic fits in pretty well), they might be related.

I can't BEGIN to care about another game in the series.

Give me a ZOE3 any day over MGS5/spin-off/whatever.

I was looking forward to it until I found out it was an MGS game.
Way too much talking and faffing about in those games for me.

I'm still not convinced that the Phantom Pain is MGS5.

I reckon it's Ground Zeroes to be honest. The XOF soldiers from the Ground Zeroes trailer are in the Phantom Pain one, and I reckon the guy with bandages all over his face is the guy with the horribly melted face in the Ground Zeroes trailer.

And I mean, why develop two massive games like that at the same time?

Because Kojima.

Honestly, after MGS4 wrapped things up nice and tidy I couldn't fathom caring about another MGS game, although Ground Zeroes looks extremely interesting.
Seriously though, I'm infinitely more interested in Rising than the prospect of MGS5, but I'd like to see how this whole Phantom Pain thing actually plays out, I must say, Kojima's always put on theatrics that I just can't help but watch from start to finish.

Why can't he just be done with MGS? I think he could do much greater things if he started a new series, which this may turn out to be, and didn't have anything to hold him back.

I'm not a huge fan of Kojima, but why doesn't the man just stop!

Because MGS4 killed my interest in the series. I prefer more game in my games, thank you.

I love MGS4 but I think this whole story arc has increasingly less places to put a story.

I would minded an MG5 with new characters in a time period after MGS4.

Anyway it's well known that Kojima hates trailers, so I'll just wait till the game comes out, buy it and love it

Because there's not much to discuss. That trailer has been dissected so many times and it's the only thing to go on so far.

I'm not really looking forward to it yet because I know nothing about it. We can make up scenarios and hypothesise gameplay innovations all we want [footnote]I want to see CQC expanded to the point of having a deep and in-depth judo fight with one of the bosses without any sort of weaponry around. THAT'S more badass than using weapons efficiently.[/footnote] but right now, there's only an obscure trailer.

I'm not sure about Metal Gear Solid V considering they never use roman numerals for MGS series.

So I'll be bit crazy and say that its Metal Gear Solid Vita.

I'm guessing you bought ZOE HD, didn't like the MGR demo?

Anyway I'ld certainly love ZOE 3.

Is it bad that because of everything Ive heard about how much "gaming" is absent in MGS4 that I have not even bothered to play the copy I bought back in 2008. It just sits on my shelf...

Should I really just play the damn game already and get it over with, or not bother?
It's not "terrible" but there is less game than cut scenes.

It really is like watching a slightly interactive movie.

I didn't mind it myself, the story is pretty decent, but you don't really get to do much. It's worth going through it at least once.

Like Rawne said, there are more cut-scenes than there is gameplay, but you can spend a lot of time just dicking around with the soldiers or exploring some of the more open areas before continuing on because there aren't a terribly high number of sections where you've got a limited amount of time to continue on. Also, most of the interconnected areas are sufficiently large and twisting, and since there's no in-game map it's fun just finding your own way.

But, that's me speaking as a person who really enjoys the stealthy gameplay of Metal Gear Solid.

OT: Because trailers are boring. I don't care about CG trailers anymore, and I barely cared about them in the first place.

Besides, it's all just rumors and speculation still. Give me hard evidence and a look at what the game is actually going to play like, and I'll start mustering up some enthusiasm.

how do you exacly know its part of the MGS series and not just an entirely new game?
Moby Dick Studio, Fox Engine, protagonist that looks like Big Boss, soldiers with supernatural powers, Those lines above the title [http://media.officialplaystationmagazine.co.uk/files/2012/12/The-Phantom-Pain-Metal-Gear-solid-1.jpg]

It's all very much Kojima.
