As someone who's never played any of the Big Boss-centric Metal Gears (3, AC!D, Peace Walker), is a lot of the Phantom Pain just going to sail over my head?

Some things might, but the self contained story of revenge is something you should be able to follow. MGS3 is really worth playing before though.

 
Ok has anyone noticed that in the trailer from 00:25 seconds through 00:16 seconds when Boss is held hostage by the three guards he shoots the first 3 the shoots the 4th guard in the head. However when the camera pans out there are 5 dead bodies and the 5th is laying where Boss was. I've watched that part like 10 times so far and I know I only hear 4 gunshots. If this has already been discussed I apologize but if not someone should investigate. I don't know a lot about MGS as you guys but this seems like something to me.

Was that metal gear rex in the trailer? Sorry I just woke up and its a large thread

I doubt it. Rex has more armor-plating than the one at the end of the trailer, and it's missing key features like the rail gun and the radome. I imagine this is going to be the immediate predecessor to the original TX-55.

EDIT: Or maybe I woke up too early too early after all.

AC!D games aren't canon, don't have to worry about those.

You should absolutely play MGS3 not only for the story, but it's a phenomenal game. The best game Kojima has made IMO. Peace Walker is worth a try, but it's never been loved by everyone. If you can't get into the game then reading up on the plot synopsis should be fine.

Honestly I don't think it'll dwell on the past too much, besides what happens in Ground Zeroes. And the AC!Ds are set in the future and aren't big boss games.

Probably just a case of that guy getting killed earlier in the cutscene.

AC!D has nothing to do with Big Boss or the main storyline in general. You should really play 3 and Peace Walker before this. 1, 2, and 4 will add some context for you, especially 1.

Wish I could but I'm on mobile. After watching the trailer it seems like there are a lot of instances where the cutscene changes from having a regular soldier to Snake appearing all of a sudden. Like when the soldiers are fighting on mother base in front of everyone and one gets knocked down. When the scene goes back to them fighting it shows snake again with that knife.

the 3 guards probably grabbed him after he killed the first dude

So...either Big Boss has shrapnel stuck in his head or he's growing horns. Probably the former but the image of the latter still fits nicely with blood smeared face and "Kaz I'm already a demon" stuff. My hype is high.

That pic, looks like rex under construction

Are the zombie soldiers being controlled by Mantis or is this an early failed nanomachines experiment (lol)
 
I have a feeling some of this stuff is bait and switch. Some sort of theater mode type stuff where they switched the models of characters to throw people off. Why the hell is skullface with big boss at the end?

I'm probably wrong, but I think Venom is the name of the new Metal Gear. In the Japanese trailer the word "Venom" is in English so it must have a specific meaning.
It's really similar to Rex though...

I like Julien Merceron, he seems like a cool guy.

I'm glad he left Squarenix for Konami. Working for years on a game that may never come out must feel bad.

Did he work on the Luminous Engine?

My thought was they made those knives out of the ashes. Those are the "diamonds" that Big Boss was referring to.

Pretty sure they literally meant diamonds. It's what they're using to fund Outer Heaven. Posted a link earlier in the thread. They might be used in some equipment too though, sure.

I doubt it. I have a feeling Skull Face pins the ending of GZ on Cipher and uses that lie to get BB to help him fight Zero. Skull Face seems to have a deep hatred for Zero.

Why not?, he gave you a ground zeroes demo to play as he said 100s of hours, pretty sure their is no rush to get this out, look at the release date joke.

Konami said months ago that they'd have a shorter MGS title out for the last fiscal year and the full MGSV for the next one. Ground Zeroes was the former, Phantom is the latter and this fiscal year ends March 31, 2015.

If I ever post something in Japanese which I don't understand, please BAN me.
I fucking hate to say this but after watching all TPP trailers again i have to admit this new trailer is the weakest one :(
The editing and scenes ...overall it just feels rushed.

E3 2013 trailer is still the best. The music was great, the dialogue was fantastic and the scenes were awesome, even showed some gameplay snippets.

The scenes in the E3 2014 trailer just weren't varied enough, i also missed the voice overs through out previous trailers. Except for the GDC one.

This trailer would have been better for a smaller event like GDC or Gamescom but for E3? man i really expected something way better.
