Pretty sure its Big Boss w/ Eye patch and Patch

What kind of gun is that? And what era?


Old Snake? Maybe meant Old Big Boss?

I think that's an FN FNC.

 

[Chuck Norris]

Retcon, he dyed his hair blonde to not be associated with Solid.

Spoiler

It could happen

I thought it was Solid who dyed his hair dark

 

[LiK]

Is that a bullshot? Or is it just the CG render visual for the game? I don't think anyone ever said that was a screenshot form what was actually shown...

probably just a CG render teaser. dunno why people automatically think it's a screenshot.

 

[Augemitbutter]

Seems those goggles are going to play a major part in is game.

Kojma wants us to play with these for the full experience:

The portrait aspect is making me think it's actually an iPhone screenshot. (I don't get it either, the last few games have been announced with CG promo art.).

 

[duckroll]

So the demo was aimed at current gen tech... could this game possibly show up on the Wii U while the other versions are being developed for Xbox 720 & PS4?

Famitsu specifically said PS3/360 spec. It's not going to be next gen.

 

[Spiffy_1st]

MSF emblem on one side FOX on the other.

Oh shit, you're right.

That won't be the actual Snake we'll be playing as, Kojima is just being Kojima.

 

[so1337]

Get out.


;p

Fiiiiiiiine.

You guys're no fun.

Spoiler

Maybe it's Liquidus?!!

 

[SolidsnackooFoxhound]

I wonder if we will find out how far its been in development later in the day.

 

[Callibretto]

I wonder why we're seeing brown haired Big Boss and not the grey haired pony tailed Diamond Dog variety? Prologue perhaps?

probably, start with pw suit, than act 2 start with diamond dogs version.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

The Famitsu article clearly says that while what was shown was a demo for the Fox Engine, it is not a normal tech demo. Instead what they're showing off is an actual open world sneaking game in development now. The engine supports current-gen consoles, and is also supposed to be able to scale to next-gen in future.

I mentioned the same a page ago.

I just thought it was strange showing what I traditionally think of as a tech demo (big on tech, little in the way of gameplay) in 2012 specced to 2005 hardware. This is more a little of both. Engine and game demo.

Thank you for this.

Truth be told I missed out on the entire Metal Gear Franchise. I've never played a single one and I even won a copy of MGS2 from the Free to a good home thread, but never got to it due to other stuff I was tied up with both in school and in games. This game has me wanting to change that because I am loving this game engine and I must experience it for myself one way or another. The Fox Engine just looks that amazing.

 

[catabarez]

I remember almost nothing from MGS1. Time to replay it.

 

[Chuck Norris]

Playing as Solidus would be very interesting to me

 

[Jawmuncher]

Well the one Motion Capture actor let it slip that the work was done and the game shoulld be out anywhere from the end of next year or beginning of 2014

(Loosely recalled from memory)

 

[Man]

Famitsu specifically said PS3/360 spec. It's not going to be next gen.

Well, I'm sure they will have beefed up versions for those as well.

 

[Ran rp]

I have a Foxhound tattoo to prove my loyalty to MGS! Maybe we can share custody.

Deal

 

[Desmond]

Please tell me there's new shinkawa art or something.

 

[disappeared]

Please tell me there's new shinkawa art or something.

I'm sure that's coming.

 

[so1337]

I don't think his choice of hair dye is something they talk about in that game.

 

[EVOL 100%]

It's been so long since I've been excited for a Metal Gear game.

Bring it.

 

[Callibretto]

Well the one Motion Capture actor let it slip that the work was done and the game shoulld be out anywhere from the end of next year or beginning of 2014

(Loosely recalled from memory)

there's that much gap between motion capture session and the game finished?

 

[disappeared]

I don't think his choice of hair dye is something they talk about in that game.

Unless it's buried in some optional codec conversation, no, Snake dying his hair is never mentioned in the game.

 

[Desmond]

I'm sure that's coming.

I hope so. I'm shaking here.

God no this is soo long (not really but I just can't wait for MGS)

To be honest, I find it really hard to believe that the PC is actually on PS3/360 hardware spec. It's probably just marketing talk to make their intentions easier to understand for the people attending. More realistically it would be a PC on modern hardware, with settings scaled back to what is realistically achievable on PS3/360. That's more believable to me.

 

[Solidsnakejej]

There is no trailer. They showed an actual gameplay demo. They could put that online in HD if they really want to impress people, but this is Japan so I won't hold my breath. It seems almost certain at this point that they will cut an actual trailer for TGS though.

Kojima does have a PAX panel on Saturday hosted by Keighley titled "Past, Present, and the Future of METAL GEAR" on Saturday. Though that seems like wishful thinking at this point.

 

[Tookay]

I can't find the quote but that's what he said.
I agree though seems like an odd gap though.

damn right, i don't think they would limit their tech to 5+ year old console specs for a major demo like this.

 

[Fjordson]

Just thinking about the possibilities. Huge scale, open-world, weather system...

 

[Desmond]

From fox two phantoms were born. What.

thanks for the clarification.

I assume that this demo is possible to be ported across the board from X360/PS3

all the way up to Wii U/PS4/Xbox 720.

but...

I can't imagine this open world mgs title to be released soon... to release two MGS titles within a year seems like overkill IMO... i can't see a new MGS title coming as soon as late next year... especially if they plan on introducing a new open world aspect... stuff like that you introduce in a new generation where people are expecting new experiences.

Yeah, Im not sure I believe someone took along their three year old laptop to run the demo

New Snakes incoming!

 

[KAOz]

I thought it was Solid who dyed his hair dark

No, he only asks for a pair of scissors to cut his hair.

Most of the confusion of that comes from the fact that his hair is light in the artwork used as the briefing. But that is probably due to making his hair visible in the dark surroundings used anyway.

So, nope. None dyes their hair. Don't even think Liquid does it. It was done to set them apart by Kojima. Also, could be explained that it got a bit bleached from all the time in the Middle East.

Oh god, why do I know this!?

 

[Perkel]

i don't believe that snake was in game. It was CGI.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

So when can we expect the trailer to hit the web?

From Fox Two Phantoms Were Born



2 phantoms being Liquid and Snake.
I'm just going with the obvious stretch here.

Solidus is the one who did it, Snake calls him out on this in MGS2.

Then it would be three phantoms (Solidus too).

Its probably Big Boss and Zero.

 

[duckroll]

Seems like a reference to the birth of Solid and Liquid to me...
