Official Thread - Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

[Blacksite]

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker‘s base-building and weapon development systems will return in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, series creator Hideo Kojima said during a developer session at the Eurogamer Expo today.

“The concept of developing weapons at your base is a very cool idea, and something that could be popular. It’s something we’ve been thinking of,” said Kojima.

You’ll be able to access your base by helicopter in-between traversing the game’s many open worlds. Once you’ve arrived, you can walk around and explore your base on-foot, upgrade it, and more.

Smartphones and other devices will also tie into base management.

“Furthermore, nowadays there are various ways to access the game world – you’re not just playing in your living room on your games console,” Kojima continued. “You may also access through your cell phone and other devices and still access that same game. I think in that respect that motherbase system lends itself very well to that system, and that’s something we’re planning on for Ground Zeroes.”

According to Kojima, you’ll be able to make changes from your smartphone, which will be reflected in the core game.

This right here is EXACTLY what I was hoping would happen ever since I started playing Peace Walker. I wanted to be able to walk around my base. See what the troops were up too, look at all my helicopters and vehicles and weapons, and be able to interact with other main characters (mass effect style with a conversation wheel or what ever).

Can't wait for this new Metal Gear Solid.

I recently saw the preview of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes on http://www.buyandtradegames.com/meta...s-preview.html and i was wondering what you guys thought about the game. All i really know about the game is what i saw on the preview but if you guys have more information on it, please don't be afraid to share

David Hayter. Solid Snake would not be part of the game ....

[Shibby]

Doyle would probably make more sense, but you CAN'T have an MGS without Hayter doing Snake. That would be like sacrilege.

A developer called Moby Dick Studios announced a new IP called The Phantom Pain at the Video Game Awards tonight.

A trailer was shown where a Solid Snake-looking bearded man woke up in a hospital, his left arm replaced with a hook and his head wrapped in bandaging. He rushed out to escape the hospital as armed troops came in and killed many of the hospital’s patients.

Watch the trailer below.

Coincidence or not, the doctor resembles Kio Marv of Metal Gear 2.







The last photo shows Kyle Cooper on the right, noted title sequence designer for Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3.

This is so Kojima Productions. MGS in a disguise.

Look at this image (Credits to GAF)




It's Volgin.

And the CEO of Moby Dick Productions is supposedly Joakim Mogren. Joakim = Kojima reshuffled.

Next-gen MGS confirmed.

[Kauldron]

Metal Gear Solid without a doubt.

[Cyklops]

And there's more. Mogren (the last name of Moby Dick Studio's CEO) is a football club in Montenegro. Montenegro is where Revengeance begins. Plus, Phantom Pain? Metal Gear Ground Zeroes first poster mentions 2 phantoms were born.

[Blacksite]

Good catch. The trailer's visual style did remind me of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes.

EDIT: Updated OP with Youtube video.

[C-Carcharias]

So is this Project Ogre? I mean, Mogren has Ogre in it

[Cyklops]

The trailer just gives it away it's MGS.

1) That's the FOX Engine for sure. No other engine looks as distinct as that.
2) That man who's running through the hospital, looks very much like Big Boss or Solid Snake.
3) The man at the very end of the trailer is surely the Psycho Mantis.

Thats weird, all of the trailers seem to have been removed...

Also, prepare to have your mind blown:

Did Kojima ever say if Metal Gear Solid V and Ground Zeroes were the same game or not? I just don't see the point in teasing the sequel so soon.

IIRC Kojima once said that Ground Zeroes is the prologue to MGS5.

2 games instead of one.... why not

[Blacksite]

In case we didn't figure it out...

There are people in the VIP section of the Konami party wearing Phantom Pain/Moby Dick Studios t-shirts.

[DarkVincent07]

Do they wanna drop enough hints or what haha

[Bio]

Looked like FOX engine for sure.

When I saw the guy crawling I IMMEDIATELY thought MGS. The bandage resembles Snake's bandana and his mullet is practically the same. Not only that, the other guy was hunched over while walking in a way that reminds me of MGS.

I don't remember seeing Metal Gear Solid V in the end title though.

It's hidden. Matches perfectly with the gaps over "THE PHANTOM PAIN"

The speculation is that Ground Zeroes is the prologue of MGSV.

Kind of like the Tanker chapter of MGS2.
