Official Thread - Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Yeah I like Big Boss a lot more, mainly because he seems like a mentor figure or "The Master" type of figure. And it's kinda hard to go back to Solid Snake after the greatness that is MGS3. Plus, they really fleshed out Big Boss a lot more than Solid Snake.

First official screens for the game:

**Blacksite** · 09-10-2012

Kojima also confirmed the inclusion of a day/night cycle which is said to change the game world in many ways, including guard patrol patterns.

**DreDayDetox** · 09-10-2012

Omg...please let there be a time machine so I can go to the release day and pick it up!

Solid's the ultimate hero, while Big Boss's the tragic hero.

I really want to see Ground Zeroes bring the story full circle, with the end of this game being Big Boss getting ready to launch a nuke at the Patriot's soon-to-be launched satellite GW, from Outer Heaven, and FOXHOUND sends their new recruit, Solid Snake, to stop this unknown villain (Big Boss). This would completely cover the MGS story chronologically all the way from the 1960s (Snake Eater) to 2020s (MGS4 and Rising).

That kid is pimping out the ear buds 20-ish years before they went into style.

That's how a real G does it.

**2nd Vice** · 09-11-2012

lol ^

**irish-sid** · 09-11-2012

Sorry. Haven't read all the thread yet, this may have been mentioned. Could the kid be raiden? And maybe that's solidus with the eye patch? The other guy is zero?
Again, I need to read up on this game, but after watching the trailer those were my thoughts. Dunno if the characters are confirmed to be big boss etc..

**Blacksite** · 09-12-2012

Snake is Big Boss while the kid is Chico from Peace Walker.

Also, it looks like the game will have a 'large-scale' online mode.

The kid is Chico and that Snake is Big Boss (got ninja'd by Blacksite). Considering that Chico does not appear to have gotten older, it's still set around 1974...which would indicate that Solidus (or any other clone) is an infant at this point.

**KungMartin90** · 09-12-2012

How can that be 1974 ? It looks more modern that nowadays for crying out loud

**Bio** · 09-12-2012

You mean that 10-ish minute trailer/demo at that military camp?

For one thing, the featured technology in that trailer is a cassette player, a common recording format in the 1970s. That doesn't seem very modern to me. There was no other cutting-edge technology in the trailer that I could see.

I also pointed out that the kid, Chico, has not visibly aged since the last game, which was set in 1974. The dialogue also refers to events that have happened right after the last game, etc.

I think it's safe to say that we are looking at a 1974 setting.

Speaking of which, it may do some of you guys well if you watch the gameplay with subtitles.

**Blacksite** · 09-12-2012

Looks like we'll be seeing the game at TGS. Is your body ready?

**CliveNic** · 09-12-2012

So hyped about this! I hope it is more like MGS3 than 4.

The cassete player/walkman, is out of place, its still a streetch to think that a product that launched in 1979, was in the hands as aprotoptype of some kid in 1974. There isnt even a way to say its a stereobelt either.

**KungMartin90** · 09-12-2012

^Also, the overall visual technology looks nowhere near 1974 technology.

I mean, just the military gear the military dudes with helmets are sporting look way too modern.

**TGO** · 09-12-2012

The Walkman was given to Snake in Peace Walker by the Professor, it was a early prototype he got from Japan
Snake gave it to Chico

It wasnt invented till 1978 by Sony.
And the only other type "the Stereobelt" wasnt even in Japan.

Cant we just say, as we all know, this is an alternative universe, and it's no where near factually correct.
