Feels definitely this gen after watching the 1080p trailer. But the FOX engine is truly stunning...

Also, the hook

I always intended that "Ground Zeroes" was the name of *that* teaser for MGSV, and the fact that this surfaced as "Phantom Pain" pushes me further in that direction. I wonder if next one (when could it be? Is there anything earlier than E3?) will have another subtitle.

About prosthetic arm guy: any crazy theory on him being Liquid/GrayFox/Ocelot? I know some of those wouldn't match (left/right arm), but hey, this is Kojima :D

Liquid is blonde. Grayfox doesn't have that facial structure. Ocelot doesn't have that type of hair.

i insist, grey fox is the one helping him
as for left/right arm (and eyepatch) the whole xof fox might mean you have to mirror the trailer, although not literally.
But i think we're reading too much into this.

maybe we're looking at the logo backwards... like the blue part is water and the white is a coastline rather than the other way around.

Yep. Blue is indeed water as you can see some small islands in it. Maybe a snowy region like Iceland... :p

For a fake logo, it's very detailed!

it definately is a distorted map of Norway and Sweden.. it´s just crazy that Kojima & Co. goes through all the trouble doing stuff like this.. it just confirms this is not a Swedish company.. no swedish company would use a map of Norway and Sweden as a Logo, they would only use Sweden.

Fuck it. It's Shadow Moses. There!

I wouldn't read too much in the coast line, small islands etc to me, the logo and those details just look like your typical Shinkawa dry brush.

Liquid is blonde. Grayfox doesn't have that facial structure. Ocelot doesn't have that type of hair.

Hence, the bandage. Disfigured, facial features changed for some ops, etc.

Yep, first thing I tought of too. The mirroring seems too much to be casual.

"This will be my last MGS"

"Mgs 5 ? I didn't do that, Joakim did !"

So eyepatch is actually on left eye and this Snake is Solidus.
Except he should be like..uh...like 7 years old here.Yes, i know he ages faster being a perfect clone or whatever, but heh.

I also believe he could be gray fox. So apparently the bandages means this is the time period when he went through reconstructive surgery? Because you can clearly see the nose indentation in this picture.

So "From FOX, two phantoms were born". Suppose those two are the "FOXes". One is *Gray* Fox. Any other FOX in the lore? Or maybe a XOF?
 
That was confirmed fake. unless....

Kojima is Hideo. Hideo is Kojima.

Here's a wild speculation. That's Decoy Octopus and not Gray Fox. He disguises as Big Boss when he gets "captured" in one of the scenes in the trailer. Decoy Octopus also went through face reconstruction.

The whole game you play as Decoy Octopus, who rescues Big Boss. Later, he appears as Big Boss when infiltrating the base.

*runs*
 
I hear its amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hari Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!
 
You guys are feeding your own madness. Faces in the paintings? The map of Norway in the tail of a whale? Don't you see how insane this is?!

The portion of Scandinavia distorted into a whale tail looks spot on to me, but I'm not going to go near looking for faces in pictures, that is truly the path to madness.

That trailer looked absolutely amazing. I havent seen anything like that in gaming. Metal Gear is one of the few reasons I still play videogames. From the mysteries of these new teasers, to the seriousness of the tone, this whole project could not be any more awesome. Exciting stuff.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.

Could be Frank. Child soldiers/experimentation is obviously going to be a theme, and Frank would fit the "From FOX" tagline.
 
ZANZIBAR LAND. That is all. Who and how Kojima brings in the characters is beyond me because he is a beautiful loon, but this game will be MG1 to MG2 timeline and explain Big Boss finally creating/fleshing out Outer Heaven, and then Snake taking him down, both Snakes, 1 game, and this time both playable for both games, * poop sounds *.
 

jett

Yeah? He's not a cyborg in the image above, and this is before MG 2. Or am I misunderstanding your point?

People are talking about reconstructive surgery and whatnot.

It would be neat though if Keifer Sutherland voiced Frank Jaegar.

edit: oh nm, I didn't know part of his past it seems.

Well you know what, we only had one game where we actually heard his non-cyborg voice, and it's portable ops. Believe me, that voice actor will NOT be missed

yeah.....

Also, Frank would not tell Big Boss "on your feet soldier". He kinda worshipped him.
