Hmm. Didn't Kojima meet with J. J. Abrams earlier today? The trailer had a very super natural feel to it and asked a lot of questions. The trailer reminded me a lot of Kojima Productions stuff and the super natural style is very much like something J. J. Abrams would create. Maybe I'm clutching to straws here... but, there could be more to this than the trailer makes out.

Maybe he asked for lens flare tips

This dude seems a little Psycho Mantis to me.

And 'the fury', and a few others I saw passing by. I think.

Jarmel · Dec 8, 2012

Is this trailer for the 360/PS3?

2San · Dec 8, 2012

Pretty sure he's right:

I found the phone number to the guy that owns the domain. I don't know if I should post it.

CorySchmitz · Dec 8, 2012

What if they keep going with this "Moby Dick Studios" stuff until everyone believes it's real (months? A year?) and then WHABAM switcheroo.

Unless they're making two MGS games, this was Ground Zeroes.

Also compare this to the GZ poster:

Note specifically the shiny rims around the thighs and shoulders, it's nearly spot-on.

Not exactly, but it's close.

I'll see if I can get hold of him later today. Unless Kojima-san reveals something more about this.

impressive. will keep an eye on this.

Kusagari · Dec 8, 2012

So we have Snake, Psycho Mantis and Volgin lookalikes all in the trailer now.

If this isn't something from Konami they should sue lmao.

Yeah. Definitely Volgin. It could be in Snake's head, though.

Yeah. Don't post it online. Give it a ring and let us know what happens though!

Solid Snake cut himself shaving post-MGS4.

Oh and the blade had LSD on it.

2 phantoms. N.Snake has a twin brother! Phantom Snake.

I'm betting it's totally unrelated but they're intentionally drawing all these comparisons and conspiracies to add to the mind-bending aspect.

Nevermind, it's definitely MGS. I really want to play the version that's not, though.

icespide · Dec 8, 2012

this thread is fascinating. detective gaf is the bet gaf

SolidSnakex · Dec 8, 2012

It's also worth pointing out that Platinum recently said that there was an early design document for Volgin in KojiPro's Rising. So it seems that Kojima has had plans to resurrect him for some time.

winstano · Dec 8, 2012

Jarmel said:

Liquid. But you know the story behind that. And where it went. And the fact it was the other arm. So I have no idea. Fuck I'm hyped.

NeoUltima · Dec 8, 2012

Holy Fuck @ Volgin.

Kojima, you beautiful son of a bitch.

Graphics Horse · Dec 8, 2012

“I’m often misinterpreted,” Kojima said in the "EGM" Interview, going on to express the wish that he wants to “work on original properties, but 'Metal Gear' offers plenty of benefits.” By creating the Fox Engine, which will be used in the next MGS installment “Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes” (and no, that's not a typo), Kojima stated that he and the developers “were only able to develop it because it was intended for the next `Metal Gear'”, and that “we’re introducing concepts intended for entirely new intellectual properties using the brand."

so are all these characters just easter eggs in a trailer or will it extend to the real Phantom Pain game?

Dahbomb · Dec 8, 2012

KOJIMA YOU WONDERFUL TROLL!!!

Which Snake gets eaten by a flaming whale?

Hint: It could be an insanity effect (all in his head).

None.

Jarmel · Dec 8, 2012

I think this might be a new IP with Kojima just using some old concepts. It doesn't make a lick of sense chronologically.

Carbonox · Dec 8, 2012

LOVE IT. Volgin it's been a while. Great troll.

linko9 · Dec 8, 2012

This is the weirdest marketing/hype strategy I've seen in a while. And I'd expect no less coming from Kojima. I've got to assume this is Ground Zeroes, but I guess it could be a different game in the post-MGS3 era...

Are you still banging the "it's not Kojima/Metal Gear" drum? Keep up the good fight.

KOJIMA YOU ARE THE BEST

Glorious speculations everywhere. IMO this is either some crazy promotion for GZ, or its Ogre. Either way, i want it!

onlyindreams · Dec 8, 2012

Yep. Kojima is trolling us 100% confirmed. He tweeted today that he met with JJ ABRAMS

If it's an insanity effect then the game can't be open-world. I mean unless this is some sort of prologue, the bits we saw look very scripted and cinematic.

-Winnie- · Dec 8, 2012

My first thought was that it looked a fuckton like the Fox Engine. Then the beard shot at the end confirmed it.

MY BODY IS READY

KOJIMA YOU GENIUS

Deleted member 81567 · Dec 8, 2012

This is MGS5. We're gonna get another trailer for those who beat GZ on the hardest difficulty.

jett · Dec 8, 2012

Recently Kojima Productions/Platinum revealed that Volgin was in the original version of Metal Gear Rising.

So yeah, the chance of these idiots actually reviving Volgin is high. Sigh.

Why not? Big Boss has seen some shit, he's having fever dreams after waking up from the coma which explain the flying whale and Volgin and whatever.

If any, for a MGS game it all makes perfect sense.

Yeah it is. No way it isn't Metal Gear, but this is some weird shit.
