The Phantom Pain confirmed to be Metal Gear Solid 5! (trailer inside)

[daveman247]

What? No... No... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Fuck you Konami! Bring back David Hayter!

OT: Um... So this is set after Peacewalker? I need to play some Peacewalker then.

Well we know what eventually happens to big boss don't we? He has to stop being snake some time.


OT: Metal gear solid has been consistantly good (at least in gameplay, the story in 4 got a bit much). So i'm hyped ^_^

Also, I'm not at all concerned about David Hayter not being in the cast; it's not like they're replacing Solid Snake's VA, I reckon it's a great opportunity to age Big Boss, aids his character growth into the villain from the original Metal Gear. I know it seems to be the guy's big gig, so to speak, but I'm sure even he wouldn't want to remain typecast as Solid Snake forever.

Well, to be fair David Hayter has done work as a scriptwriter for things like X-men and X2 and is working directing his first movie. I think him and other VAs tend to get around and do many things regardless. It just bothers me because it seems like Hayter himself was unaware he wasn't getting hired, and seemed upset that he thinks he's not going to be doing voice work for MGSV or anymore after that.

I'm confused. Badly.
Anybody mind explaining this entire thing?

Well, there are going to be people analyzing the trailer in the next couple days I imagine, but I can try explaining since I've played every canon Metal Gear game. Also, if you go back and watch the Ground Zeroes trailer it helps explain things.

Sometime after Peace Walker, Chico is captured and Paz is revealed to be alive. The group who has them has the patch with XOF on it (and the reversed FOX logo). A scarred man who seems to be a leader of XOF makes it seem as if Chico is going to be a Trojan horse for when Big Boss comes rescue him.

Later, Mother Base is attacked and we see BB, Kaz, and an unnamed soldier escape via helicopter. At a hospital, BB goes into a coma and Kaz asks about the third person (who we seem to be seeing from first person at the beginning of the trailer).

9 years later, BB wakes up from his coma with his left arm missing only for the hospital to be attacked (possibly by XOF). During his escape, BB either hallucinates a ton due to his mental state, drugs, and just coming out of a coma, or because the girl we see later on has similar mental powers like Psycho Mantis. During his escape, his car crashes and the bandaged soldier we saw help BB escape is not shown.

At some point a guy who appears to be Ocelot shows up riding a horse (much like his mother, The Boss, did) and we see them riding away until a bridge collapses. Presumably at some point, BB reunites with Kaz and they form Diamond Dogs. Snake has something embedded in his forehead, and replaced his land hand with Zadornov's prosthetic one.

Ah, I see. I watched it for the first time without audio and skipped through a bit since I was in a hurry, after re watching it and this, it makes sense. Thanks.
I'm really hectic for this, it's Zero's/Ciphers first clash with Big Boss, and Diamond Dogs. Hell, are XOF even under Zero's command? or are they a new force commanded by this mysterious figure?
Although, I was sad seeing Mother Base getting destroyed like that. So much work, and yet it gets destroyed so easily...
To be honest, this is quite the twist on Kojima's part. I seriously was not expecting this to happen, and I can't wait to know more..

Well you knew mother base had to get destroyed at some point in time. Since its not featured in Metal Gear we knew it didnt stick around and Big Boss isnt likely to just abandon it for no reason.

I have no idea what's going on in that trailer, but man, it looks amazing.

That being said, I really hope David Hayter will reprise... only time will tell.

I actually always thought either Kaz left Big Boss, or vice versa. Considering the Phone Call you unlock in PW for getting S rank on everything, Kaz is a business partner with Cipher. Although, he did state ''nothing more than that...''.

One things for sure:

The whole Phantom Pain=MGS5 prior to the official announcement... I really hope some one does pick up that phone...

Because I friking CALLED IT.

 

[mysecondlife]

Its pretty cool trailer. Nice touch with Garbage song as well.

One thing to note: I felt pretty sad watching MSF base blowing up. I spent hours building bad-ass armies in Peace Walker.

One things for sure:

The whole Phantom Pain=MGS5 prior to the official announcement... I really hope some one does pick up that phone...

Because I friking CALLED IT.

Dude... everyone called it.

As if there was any doubt on your mind, now we know that the mysterious Phantom Pain was indeed MGS5.

Also, Ground Zeroes = Metal Gear Solid 5 = The Phantom Pain.

So rather than being 2 seperate games, like some people believed, Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain are one in the same. It will be released on both PS3, and 360.

Actually that's not entirely accurate.

Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain are two separate entities. Ground Zeroes is a prologue to The Phantom Pain and bridges the gap between Peace Walker and The Phantom Pain. The Phantom Pain takes place 9 years after Ground Zeroes and is the main game.

Together, Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain make up Metal Gear Solid V. Think of them as being like the Tanker Chapter and Plant Chapter of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. They're two parts that make up a whole game and one of them is a prologue while the other is the main game.

Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater is a better example considering its called Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

Well we know from Metal Gear 2 and MGS1 that Kaz left Big Boss and joined up with foxhound. He was the one who trained Solid Snake and is one of your radio contacts in both those games, well sort of.

Well, I also seem to remember that Big Boss was instrumental in forming FOXHOUND, and even trained Solid Snake. That's why when BB betrayed him at the end of MG1 it was supposed to be a surprise.

As a huge fan of the franchise, I'm obviously excited as all fuck for this. The trailer seems to have given lots of hints as to what the story will entail, and it should be of no surprise: it seems batshit insane.

No release date as of yet. But I do have some curious concerns about this. Mainly the surprising fact that this game will be a current gen title, and here was thinking (Back when I thought that MGS5 and Ground Zeroes were 2 different games) that MGS5 would for-sure be a next-gen title.

And then there's the FOX engine. That trailer, and the FOX engine, was apparently running on a PC (Which also begs the questions if this will be coming out on PC? It's running on one already, so why not?) - That leaves me wondering how much of that visual awesomeness is going to translate to these old consoles? Unless the FOX engine is made of magic.

Anyway. Escapists. How do you feel about this?

Are you sure it will be out on 360 they originally said that Metal Gear Solid 4 was coming to the 360 they lied.If it does, good for the Xbox escapists but how many disks will it be 10? More or are you going to have to install every disk in order to play it.
