I don't know if someone talked about it previously but in the collector's edition bluray there is a bonus episode, episode 51, where Venom Snake and Diamond Dogs go to an island to find Eli and the metal gear.

This bonus episode is not playable but through incomplete cutscenes, concept art, story boards and even just texual description of the action, we get to see what's supposed to happen when Eli leaves motherbase.

Some pictures here

Edit : I'm really slow sorry, but I have more pictures !

God-freakin'-damnit, that looks amazing, especially the two boss battle-esque pieces of concept art. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh.

Konami were like: "This game needs to come this century!"

And Kojima was like "But that means we can either fit in a good story with a nice conclusion or Mo-Cap Stefanie Joosten rolling on the floor sexfully...not both!"

In which Konami replied: "Then pick one and bugger off!""

That sounds so accurate it hurts.

Anyone figure out how to keep Quiet? I'm not moving any further in the narrative until I find out.

Nah, that's necessary closure Kojima.

Dat's some bullshit right there.

If you knew you couldn't get that done there were some scenes with Eli you should have removed. But shit, it's an entire subplot. Mantis. Eli. The third parasite thing.

That sucks.

You know, I actually would have been happier if Kojima prioritized closing this massive fucking plot thread with Eli, a character that was at least built up throughout the game and has a pretty important role in the overall series, than doing this Big Medic stuff just so he can cheekly be like "lol V does not stand for 5 is really stands for Venom Snake lol im smahrt"

It says "that could not be included in the game" but then says "work-in-progress" so it may be finished afterwards, plus why would they put a percentage of the completion on the video if that is all that will get done?
 
Quiet is basically Starfire from Teen Titans in regards to why she dresses the way she does.
Not going to happen, not until hype is lower. But I really hope it happens because with Quiet they really overdid it. She's literally there for boners, nothing else. I wonder what Stefanie thinks about it because the character had potential.
She does the mocap and is heavily invested in the character. Maybe it was her idea.

Kojima had the foresight to do almost nude Kaz to counteract bikini Paz in Peace Walker.

Hopefully he had the foresight to give Codetalker a "It's raining" sexy scene. If he did I haven't seen it yet, though.

It really seems like Portable Ops is canon. Ocelot mentions having to secure the other half of the Legacy.
 
The money from the FOBs will pay for this to be added, right, guys? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right. (If you'll excuse me, I'll just go curl up in a little ball somewhere.)

If this is Episode 51, does that mean the ending was basically cut? It would explain why the pacing for the current ending was kinda abrupt. Goddamnit.

So we looking at DLC or do y'all think it was completely scrapped?

There was talk lately of a story "update" on September 11th. Not a day one patch, but the 11th. It coincides with the INGSOC website; turned out it may have been legit after all. But it doesn't refer to Silent Hills or a spiritual successor; rather the continuation of the MGSV story. There were elements hidden that suggested it was MGS. Which implies they planned this since April. They even included a "Black Hound" skin for DD as an Easter egg.

I may have said too much so I'll keep my mouth shut for now. Best to reserve judgement on info until something actually gets confirmed

Questions I keep asking but never got answers for:

1- What is up with V and Skullface looking like they have partnered in some of the trailers? Such as driving around in the same jeep, etc.

2- There was a motion capture session done with someone who had a katana. I thought it would be the skulls because they are ninja-like, but I haven't seen any with katanas. Did this just get cut?

3- The scene where the African kids are on the tank/training still has not been seen?

Wait where did you dig this up? Do you have inside sources..?

Agreed. That plus the "make this take as long as possible" gimmick that is in soooo many Phantom Pain scenes. In terms of camera work, MGS4 is really nice.
The over use of slow mo is the biggest offender when it comes to the cinematography in this game. Having as many scenes without camera cuts lessens the impact of the high action cutscenes, which should be one long shot.
A good example of this--->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44oJi5w2Wjc

It's a shame because I thought it was really well done in GZ cinematography wise.

1--->V goes to capture Skullface, Skullface says "Follow me, we're both demons" etc. V agrees, Skullface monologues for ten minutes while they're driving in the jeep.

2.Maybe the metal gear since it has a sword? Remember props don't always transfer directly.

3.Nope.

EDIT:Whoa what's this about that scene getting cut?

Haha, I just have my detective skills. Kojima placed out a lot of hints throughout the game, his Twitter as well as suspiciously associated ones, as well as that website and miscellaneous detective work on smaller things. I just figured it out with whatever I was able to analyze from what was there. That's it really! Not many were able to piece it together though, which is understandable because the game is misleading people a lot and makes things subtle to the point of not noticing.

It's no use talking about it at this point considering the whole entire community is either in blackout playing the game or in a state of hostility for whatever their personal reasons are to the game. I want to say it's 65% chance of story updates and 35% of no story updates. Though that's my personal view, and mine alone so obviously there's a chance I could be wrong.

Hope that answers the question :)

That was mentioned in the timeline that was shown at the end of Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater though. Maybe not the fact Ocelot did it, but still...
 
I'm sure that Kojima wanted to do alot of things whether through DLC or last minute additions, but the thing with Konami has been boiling for a while and once they pulled rank on him, it was in pure polish mode.

Is this where the date is coming from? Various communities keep linking to this strange "Kojima returns" website that counts down to 9/11, too.

I really wish I knew what was going on
 
So can someone explain me the begining of the game, i'm confused... So i'm in the bed, i wake up. Doctors talking to me and for some reason asks me to create an avatar? Im very tired i guess and my brain is not processing things lol, wtf just happened, so i'm big boss, but then he sais i need to get a face surgery so people don't recognize me, So i chose my face and all and when he shows me my face in the mirror i still see snakes face....
Ok so i'm confused, didnt i get a face change? or is it just one of those things which they made him still see his BB face when in fact he had someone elses face?...

Or... did the surgery take place before you last woke up but they make you chose a face after the surgery.... but when he looks at his face he still sees his own face and not the new guys face.

I hate bullshit like this lol.

I can explain but I really don't want to be driven out of here because I like this website. Would people mind if I shared or not?

I hope Kojima doesn't do anything crazy.

I don't read anything that is not a coloured reply to me :p but i will do as you say haha.

Oh, then you're probably fine as long as you don't catch any pictures, I guess. So yeah, it's your MGO avatar, the context in-game is that they're about to give you plastic surgery to change your face so people can't recognize you and kill you, but Quiet reks everyone before that.

I wonder if the title of MGS: Ground Zeroes was foreshadowing any of this.
