Wait... that's hilarious! Can someone Avatar that for me, for real? I'd love that.

I can't seen to find any legal entity called "Moby Dick Studio" (or similar) in Sweden. Note that there could be several logical reasons for that.

I think it's a line that got partially cut off on the feed for some people I think. Me and the friend I was watching it with on Spike heard it clearly near the end. A couple others have mentioned it in this thread.

She says, "He has come to."

Yes, like the fact that it doesn't exist at all, which we established 100 pages ago.

Haha, thanks!

Kojima does love the Creed.

I knew he did, and I would welcome the idea.

MGS5 staring Solid Snake with sections with Big Boss would be superb.

Kojima had this idea way back. I'm like the ONLY one who remembers. Way before AC game out.

I forget the name, but the was a database of MGS at some point, I think it was released with the PSP digital comics. It was a DNA database that you could use to relive memories (get info) about those characters.

But even before this, the very first trailer of MGS3 hinted at MGS3 being a simulation of Big Boss' memories.

It said "Relive the memories!", and the intro was the end of MGS2, look at what part they chose:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A5acFjVAmA

MGS3: I need some kind of proof the this was not the action of the US government. If you fail, it will be the beginning of a new world war.
MGS2: We need to pass the torch, and let our children read our messy and sad history by its light. We have all the magic of the digital age to do that with. Building the future and keeping the past alive are one and the same thing.

Then you see:

GENE x MEME x SCENE. MGS3. LIVE MGS. Relive MGS. Survive MGS. Time and time again (you see the clock going backward). Relive the 60s. Relive the Cold War. Relive espionage. Relive memories. (man what an awesome trailer). Later on it says "MGS is revived to survive the future."

In the final game you still had the "Snake! You'll create a time paradox!" voice from Campbell (Patriot AI?).

Then we never heard of this idea again. But I'm sure in Kojima's mind it's always been there. Even in Rising soldiers have their memories in their left arms.

I'm all for this.

It would be great if Kojima retcons MGS4 so is only a dream Snake had while in coma.

I was thinking this too when it was mentioned Snake was in a coma, but I doubt it would ever happen.

Saw nothing in the OP summary. Assumed that was what had come up so far.

 

[Ether_Snake]

The nurse is looking at him on the bed and says "Subject V is awake" or something to that effect

No, it's a stupid fake Russian accent: "Ve has come to." = "He has come to."

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Big Boss gets captured by the burned man after the prologue, and they have Psycho Mantis torture him.

Let's not overcomplicate things with reliving memories and the Animus, haha.

 

[The One and Done™]

So what's the consensus with this game? Is it MGSV?

 

[Vyse The Legend]

So what's the consensus with this game? Is it MGSV?

Yes, MGS V confirmed. Whether or not that V means 'Vee' or 5 in a Roman numeral, nobody knows.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

I've got MGS fever now.

I'm going to drop every game I'm playing and play through MGS2...

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Yup. Now's a great time for me to pick up the MGS HD Collection.

 

[Catalix]

Damn, this is nuts! Kojima hasn't been this devious with a game's pre-release hype since maybe MGS2. But at least the underhanded tactics he used back then were directly relevant to the game's plot and theme. I wonder if that's the same case here, or if he's just doing it purely for the lulz.

Either way, it's fun seeing this whole thing play out.

My guess right now is that Solid Snake relives the memories of Big Boss (and others, indirectly), through the use of some database/tech. The weird sounds in both trailers when strong lights are present, or the orange vertical floating bars in the first trailer when looking at computer screens, both indicate to me that the "viewer" is disconnecting/waking up under certain circumstances.

I was just about to say, "This reminds me of those theories leading up to MGS3!", but I see that's what you were going for lol

 

[Muffin Awesome]

Only thing I truly keep hoping for is some version that does PS3 and Vita connectivity, and if there is please let it be a full experience for both.

I always over hype MGS to myself though, I am going to go back to trying to forget all of these announcements happened as it takes forever for Kojima to release his games. (Nothing wrong with this, just painful to wait for, we get it Kojima you like f'ing with your fans, super fun...)

 

[The One and Done™]

I wonder if they'll release this for Xbox as well

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Yup. Now's a great time for me to pick up the MGS HD Collection.

I'm planning a marathon of the games in a few days. It's been a while.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Big Boss gets captured by the burned man after the prologue, and they have Psycho Mantis torture him.

Let's not overcomplicate things with reliving memories and the Animus, haha.

So explain the orange floating lights and the weird sounds when looking at bright lights in BOTH trailers?

[Little Old Man]

I'm still confused whether this is actually a game or meta level viral marketing for Ground Zeros.

All I want is a Metal Gear with young Solid Snake taking on the world though. Please?!

 

[Chairhome]

No, it's a stupid fake Russian accent: "Ve has come to." = "He has come to."

I thought that's what it sounded like, but I don't think its a fake accent. I think she's really saying "V", cause there's no way that a russian accent would change an h sound to a v.

 

[SniperHunter]

So this isn't related to Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes?

 

[Xrenity]

I've played MGS and MGS2 and now I want to play the rest. Is MGS4 any good though? There's really (near) 2 hour cutscenes?

 

[Ether_Snake]

I thought that's what it sounded like, but I don't think its a fake accent. I think she's really saying "V", cause there's no way that a russian accent would change an h sound to a v.

Ok so how would she say IV? Yve? Or III? Eeeeee?

It's a shitty fake accent like all the awful Russian accents of all MGS games.

 

[The One and Done™]

NICE!

 

[Graphics Horse]

What.

V is a letter. I don't know what she's saying or why but not even a shitty accent replaces 'He' with 'V'

 

[Blood Diamonds]

I've only played Metal Gear Solid 3... how are the ones on the PSP? Thinking about getting MGS 2 used and MGS 1 off PSN.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I think you guys should wait for the trailer to get released. I bet fucking VGA's cut the trailer too soon.

 

[Muffin Awesome]

Edit: Yeah fake as hell.

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

This thread made me wanna play MGS1 again.

you know what? screw I am gonna play it !

I hope this becomes a codec contact in future MGS games giving away red herrings all the time... oh wait..

 

[WolfForager]

Would love if Kojima had made this, more than likely just a gaffer though

 

[Protome]

This thread made me wanna play MGS1 again.

I almost started playing MGS4 again because of all this.

Then I realised that was a silly idea, and am replaying MGS3 on my Vita!

 

[Xun]

I personally feel it gets too much hate on GAF.

I think it's a decent game, and it only finished what MGS2 started.

 

[Muffin Awesome]

For sure a Gaffer, I am trying to retweet it back to Kojima and others though.

 

[thetrin]

Only Kojima could manage a main villain that nobody even remembers... thanks MGS4.

I thought that was the beauty of it. A true villain of a shadow govt wouldn't be in the spotlight, cackling.

I'm one of the few that love MGS4, so i will probably reply it soon.

 

[Waldo Lydecker]

Ok so how would she say IV? Yve? Or III? Eeeeee?

It's a shitty fake accent like all the awful Russian accents of all MGS games.

So this 'V' and the Metal Gear Solid 'V' found hidden in the background of the logo are one and the same 'V'?

If yes, what does this 'V' mean?

EDIT: Especially when you'll consider that Kojima doesn't do Roman numerals

 

[Protome]

I enjoyed the first and second chapters. But goddamn I felt everything after that played terribly.

You should play MGS3, it's much better than 4.

I've only played Metal Gear Solid 3... how are the ones on the PSP? Thinking about getting MGS 2 used and MGS 1 off PSN.

The PSP ones are both pretty good. Portable Ops has a bunch of control issues thought simply because of the limitations of the PSP, but I personally had a lot of fun with it. Peace Walker is pretty awesome, although i'd recommend the MGS HD Collection version of it simply again for control reasons.

I wish the Vita HD republish would have been remade with the 3DS's control scheme, has anyone else played this version? Man I am so frustrated that the definitive controls for MGS3 and portability exist on 2 different handhelds...

I could not disagree with you more.

 

[TheLight]

Maybe all of it could be a Psycho Mantis-esque hallucination. Kind of like the HIDEO stuff from MGS1?

 

[Adilegian]

'm one of the few that love MGS4, so i will probably reply it soon.

I'm definitely a fan of it.


I expect that "Moby Dick" in the studio's name refers to the fact that the whale in Melville's novel is a symbol without a clear referent. In other words, it's an unknown quantity, a symbol or expression of something, in this case likely Kojima Productions.

 

[RoboPlato]

No, it's a stupid fake Russian accent: "Ve has come to." = "He has come to."

Oh, whoops. Funnily enough I heard V before the logo discovery was made so I just thought it was a hint.

 

[Muffin Awesome]

I could not disagree with you more.

Have you played both?

 

[GillianSeed79]

nevermind

 

[Spruchy]

My friends and I started doing a joint replay of MGS1 because of this last night and it was fabulous.

If this is Project Ogre it could also signify being this game being the White Whale Kojima has been chasing. He's made it pretty clear that it has been a tough project.

Nah, as vocal any negativity gets, Neogaf still voted it GOTY 2008 and then again in the 2012 revote! It actually has plenty of love here.
