Dat attention to detail.
What am I looking at?
Dat attention to detail.
thought you were swooning over a bullet shell being ejected, which is pretty standard, but a nice detail that is pretty cool.
when the play arts figures come out, you want to get quiet and i'll get big boss? then we can meet up and make up our own metal gear stories!

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I'm still banking on the second half/last quarter of this game being a remake of MG1 starring Solid Snake. I won't even be upset if it doesn't happen, but man, that would the twist of the century for me. I could probably die a happy man experiencing it.
Just think about it. Enemy placement/base design could differ depending on how you built it up during the rest of the game.

Isn't that the Hayter team?Don't start this man, i get here shit all the time for even saying "TeamA"
All that shit won't mean shit once we're proven right,

Team A means David Hayter will voice Solid Snake in the game.
Haha, indeed

I would love that to be true but I think Kojima would dedicate an entire game to that not just half a game given his love for attention to detail. I just can't see Kojima doing only half a game for such a significant event.

I would love this to be true, but I'm pretty sure Hayter said in no uncertain terms that he is not involved in MGS5 in any way.

This.
Kojima's attention to detail can be questioned though. I mean, TPP takes place 9 years after GZ right? Yet they use the same technology and vehicles from what I can tell. Just saying..
But man, a Fox Engine version of the original Metal Gear would be awesome!

The original Metal Gear is actually a very sparse and short game, and I feel like it could easily be retold in two chapters or even less. I think half of a 2015, AAA title is more than enough of a game to cover MG1 in detail. Metal Gear 2 is a different story - that would deserve its own game.

A lot of military tech used today is no different from the stuff used in the Vietnam war era.
big boss doesnt appear to have aged in the 9 years he was in a coma which im little disappointed about.
Well we don't really know how long TPP is. It could spawn over a lot of timelines who knows. Kojima confirmed Quiet is a sub plot meaning she is not relevant to the actual main story yet he called her the main heroine of the game.
He also said this:
Kojima Worried The Phantom Pain Is 'Too Big' to Finish
Just take a look at the insane size of the map for The Phantom Pain. There is also a second layer.

We pretty much have seen nothing of the game yet so who knows where it will go.
Have you seen the new TGS gameplay? i haven't noticed any pop-in. They are constantly working on the game, it's not finished yet so people really shouldn't be bitching about pop-in when the game isn't even done yet.

I'd rather have Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 made into one game then, to avoid too big of a jump in time.
Well that's true I guess.
It's just great how every single cut-scene in this game is done in one shot. Finally someone putting into use the unique advantages of this medium.
kojimas skills as a director and cinematography (assuming he has some involvement) is definitely one of the things that he has improved upon in each game.

"The less you say, the more powerful it is when you see TeamA breaking down and screaming in anger when they see that I have no involvement in MGS V. That mosaic though...that was some cool shit."

I've seen that map before, but the scale seems kinda off, no? If it's accurate that is quite amazing indeed!

there really isn't typically all that much of a difference from 40 y/o to 49 y/o though for a lot of people.

Wasn't the first generation injected into Solid in 2005?

Kojima might retcon nanomachines out actually..

The game will be big...but i dont expect it to be HUGE. Like itll be vast and lots of places to explore, but I dont think every area will be super detailed.
I just hope each area will have lots of things to do and wont feel like a chore to do.
Lots of open world games these days are just that - chores.
GTAV was not 1 of those games - everything actually felt fun to do, hope TPP is no different.
The only thing that has me sort of worried is this being Kojima's 1st open world game.
I loved the linear gameplay of the past MGS games, thats 1 of the reasons its my favorite franchise.

No, I didn't notice any pop in for forest gameplay on YT. That said given the object density, it would be a natural form of mitigating factor.
And yes, I am quite cognizant about them continually working on the game; it doesn't hurt to ask questions or raise concerns so that both sides are aware of what parts need working and are being paid attention to.
If you consider my one question, "bitching" then feel free to ignore it or voice your concern to a mod.

That second layer is just the first layer in iDroid form, you can see the roads match up perfectly.
I disagree. The second layer is more of a glass top, where they don't show anything of that layer yet.
This will be Solid Snake's layer.
Dude, it's all good.

Fuel for the theory that you're actually playing as a gray fox body double while real big boss is in a coma!
And why "Ishmael" covers his face when he rescues real big boss from the hospital at the end of TPP.
"Ishmael," or some other character who is also coincidentally voiced by Sutherland is the medic in the chopper in Ground Zeroes that is important enough to have a speaking part, and also get his face blown off in the same accident that put snake into a coma.
/conspiracy theory.

Yeah it has to be this way, otherwise the timeline won't really make sense. Diamond Dogs is also probably going to have to merge into FOXHOUND, perhaps that will be their way of keeping the game going after the main story is over like in PW.

Big Boss is the Keanu Reeves of videogames.

welp then mgs4 doesn't exist anymore.
I think there was a reddit post showing that the map is the same quarter, just mirrored at angle 4 times. (I don't know if I'm making sense)

It is crazy how ok with this I would be.
GreyOcelot

yea but we know he won't kill Zero..
GreyOcelot

but ultimately that is part of his goal right? starting foxhound under the guise of fighting with zero rather than against him
i'd actually rather have kojima retcon some of this than try to squeeze it all into what we already know happens. the idea of big boss as solid snake's commanding officer, helping him infiltrate the base the big boss himself is in control of doesn't really make much sense

I know it's already huge, but I think it would have to be less than the entirerty of TPP considering Africa's size. Probably just Afghanistan on it's own without revealing spoilery parts of the map.
Edit: Oh actually nevermind, I think I get you now. So you mean it's the scale of TPPs map as a whole, but they've just put an Afghanistan image over it? That's a bit misleading.
The only issue with this is there's a bit of a domino effect. People think that by retconning Big Boss being Snake's CO that it would simply retcon MG1 which didn't have much of a plot to begin with, so that's no big deal right? But it's not that simple. It would also retcon history that was established and referenced in MGS1 through MGS4, and the entire dynamic between those two characters. There's not really a way around it without spinning off into an alternate timeline or something.
Plus you've got to explain Big Boss's inaction for 11 years anyway, even if he doesn't go back to FOXHOUND. The Outer Heaven Uprising doesn't actually occur until 1995. They have a good opportunity here with Skull Face being a common enemy.

yeah it is kind of, but it's not like the other games show "maps" of the land, it's just a colored layout. there's no buildings on that map, no jungle, nothing. just some mountains and roads

Ocelot was only voiced by Liquid's VA because Ocelot's actor died.
This has been one of my theories from the beginning. Considering the amount of plot he squeezed out Peace Walker after the credits rolled, it wouldn't surprise me. Also, half is relative to the size of a whole.
I made up my mind the other day to erase MGS4 from my personal canon.
