New teaser trailer for The Phantom Pain

[Blacksite]

The Phantom Pain developer ‘Joakim Mogren’ has uploaded an unsettling trailer for the mysterious project, containing some hidden clues that smell like Metal Gear Solid 5.



UPDATE:
The morse code in the clip has been cracked by YouTuber AesopsEpisoden.

It reads:

“GENERATING IMAGE HOLD SCENARIO LOADING HOLD ACTIVATE PHANTOM PAIN DOT MEME HOLD ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ”

Does this mean the men in the video are configuring the world’s first VR simulation? Is Snake inside the simulation to help him combat post-traumatic stress after his car crash? It would explain all of the freaky stuff we’ve seen in the initial Phantom Pain trailer.

Read on for more clues from the trailer.

ORIGINAL STORY:

About halfway through there is a subliminal blip, that VG247 reader Dragon246 has kindly transcribed for us.

It reads:

PROJECT OMEGA
AI MATRIX: SECTOR07-A942
VR PROGRAM: PHANTOM_PAIN.MME
CONTRACTOR: MOBY DICK STUDIOS
SUBJECT: REDACTED

PURPOSE-
TREATMENT OF NEUROLOGICAL DAMAGE SUSTAINED IN COMBAT SITUATIONS
TREATMENT OF COMBAT RELATED PSYCHOLOGICAL STRESS
ENHANCEMENT OF COMBAT ABILITIES FOLLOWING IMPAIRMENT
IMPLEMENTATION OF ..::.|>..::.:

Now then, what does this all mean?

Well, as Dragon quite rightly points out, the military base seen in the first Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes trailer was called Camp Omega, so there’s your first common thread. The morse code at the end of the text simply reads “?” when translated.

Second, note the medical and psychological report at the end. In the first Phantom Pain trailer, we see what looks like Snake suffering a car crash, which presumably leaves him badly injured, hence the clip largely taking place in a hospital.

There’s also talk of “Psychological stress”, which would explain all the mad images in the hospital, of white petals – a nod to The Boss in MGS3 – images of giant flaming whales, the bosses horse, Volgin on fire, and what appears to be The Sorrow or Psycho Mantis floating in the background.

The text also says, “VR PROGRAM: PHANTOM_PAIN.MME”, so could the events in The Phantom pain trailer just be a VR training exercise to help Snake battle the post-traumatic stress suffered in battle? The rumoured 1970s-80s setting may render that technically impossible, but with Kojima – sorry, Joakim – anything’s possible, right?

This is an awesome marketing skill... love the teaser trailer and the message, I can not wait to see the other teasers and more marketing

Wish they'd stop with all the cryptic bullshit.

I'm thinking Ground Zero/Phantom Pain will have something to do with them cloning him against his will. That will explain the Psycho Mantis/Giant Whale. He was drugged up, trying to escape and hallucinating.

Seeing such trippy teasers makes me think this new MGS may come with nice puzzles like when fighting Psycho Mantis on PS1, maybe to defeat a boss you need to put your PS4 on sleep state for a few minutes then turn it back on lol.

or change the time and date to progress a level lol

But as i stated in the official thread, it could be a nightmare after all or just as you say a clone thing.... But either way

It is uniquely done and keeps us interested in what is next and how it will play out when we actually play it

Also more game footage will be a welcome, when they show it at one off the up and coming GAME SHOWS

[1solidsnake]

this is getting crazy....im hoping this will be at e3...

[claud3]

It will be shown before E3 and then at E3, this game will steal the show hopefully

But this game could be two games instead of one, i mean one for the Xbox360/Xbox720 and the other for the PS3/PS4

yes this is a crazy ass long shot, but possible

I really like these cryptic trailers. They always get me more excited about the game.

Okay, it seems this was fan-made.

A user signed up to GameTrailers under the handle, 'JoakimMogren' two days ago to upload the video, where the footage was originally taken from another video uploaded in 2008.



This is Joakim Mogren's Youtube account. As you can see, no sign of the video.

No thread about it on NeoGAF either, despite it being cited.
