It was a reference to Herman Melville's 6th book Moby Dick. 22nd chapter's title is "Merry Christmas". Coincidence? NO.

Is Venom Snake really Gray Fox?

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Really doubt it.

 

[Putty]

Not on your nelly.

 

[Vinterbird]

I must have missed the "lack of marketing!" The game has had three half-hour presentations in the past six months alone, and has been showcased at every major event over the course of the past two years. #TeamBatzi

Big difference between hardcore marketing/news cycle and actual mainstream marketing.

 

[Love Deterrence]

Microsoft store has this date for it too: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store...Phantom-Pain-for-Xbox-One/productID.282497300 Perhaps that's where they work.

OH, BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!

There's a big difference between the showings at events and presentations and actual marketing on television, theaters, print, and in public.

Lies, MGSV will never have a release date.

 

[Jashobeam]

yea absolutely no way it's coming in Feb, f it was that soon they would have officially announced it already.

 

[Squishy3]

Kaz, I'm already a hype demon

 

[dc89]

Would be amazing if true.

Marketing wouldn't start for a Feb title now anyways.


I would love this now that the Witcher was delayed.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

No way it's feb. But then again it's Kojima...

 

[StoopKid]

Maybe its a demo ?

[Radec]

lol.

obvious placeholder

 

[DieH@rd]

That is sooner than I expected. Would be great if it is true, but I'm not convinced yet.

 

[Vinterbird]

There would have been larger preview and trailer push then what we have now. No ads on websites or preorder announcements. They've done nothing in terms of marketing.

 

[JayEH]

lol.

Placeholder would be 3/31

 

[teknix]

I WANT TO BELIEVE

 

[ODDI]

Splendid!

 

[Love Deterrence]

GameInformer cover story?

 

[Batzi]

Yup can't be a placeholder. That's too specific for a placeholder.

There are a ton of trailers and previews currently out, not to mention Ground Zeros.

 

[meptrep]

I wouldn't really say MGS relies on marketing as heavily as other game franchises, with most of it being deceptive and nothing like the actual game.

Spoiler

I just really want to play MGSV as soon as possible.

Microsoft store is not trustworthy.

Batman: Arkham Knight Release Date Leaked By Microsoft Store? [2/24/2015]

 

[~Kinggi~]

But Arkham Knight was delayed, was it not?

Batman: Arkham Knight Release Date Leaked By Microsoft Store? [2/24/2015]

Fuck completely forgot about that lol. Well there's two other sites with it now so there's at least some more evidence.

But Arkham Knight was delayed, was it not?

Delayed from october to june.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

I am currently nuclear!

HAPPENING!

Ground Zeroes came out in March. THIS IS IT!

 

[NIN90]

Seems hella early for it to be still unannounced.

 

[Love Deterrence]

The doors to the Happening Bunker are open. Come on in!

 

[teknix]

Is 2/24/15 some placeholder for an end of fiscal quarter or start of one? The fact that Arkham Knight has the same release date points to it being a generic date rather than a coincidence.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

STANDING

 

[Savantcore]

Konami revealed the March release of Ground Zeroes in December last year.

3/31 is the end of the fiscal year.

The plot thickens.

Ground Zeroes came out in March. THIS IS IT!

exactly which was 3 months after release date announcement. How is late February any different?

 

[tryagainlater]

Sounds too good to be true. I'm gonna go with June.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

!

They like to reveal release dates pretty close to the release.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Well, it would be 2 months.
