That doesn't make sense, anyway. Kojima is the same guy who put stipulations on what critics could discuss in their reviews of MGS4. If there's plot details he doesn't want getting out, he's not going to tell anyone at all.

"Never said I wasn't a hypocrite."
I don't think I can talk about anything (or at least I'm unsure enough to keep my mouth shut) but I didn't learn anything I didn't already know during the 30 minute demo. At least not storywise.
That's assuming Skull Face knew The Boss, though. Remember, there's an 11 year gap between MGS3 and GZ. In that time they could have known one another. We don't really know what Skull Face's end game is, which makes it difficult to predict what his motivations are. All we know for sure is that he hates Zero and he's someone that will do some heinous shit to get what he's after.
Yong is wrong. There were no story spoilers that weren't shown in the E3 2013 trailer (rescue Miller). The reason they didn't show it is because (according to Sean Eyestone of KP) Kojima wants to recreate that 'word of mouth' buzz that used to happen in past E3's before the whole livestreaming and whatnot. He says it in the most recent English Kojima Station.
The only spoiler, if you can even call it that, is that Ocelot lets Big Boss know he has 3 in game days to rescue Miller from the Soviets in Afghanistan.
I think you meant Snake Eater not PW
PW and GZ are only a couple months apart.
You're right, I mean MGS3!

Truth. We are still in-the-dark about Skull-Face... We know he's a heavy player in the last-leg of Big Boss' story, but we still don't know how he'll fit in.
But going off what you're saying... Since Skull-Face clearly hates Zero/CIPHER, would it be that hard to assume that Skull-Face knows what happened between The Boss and Big Boss? I'm stalwart in my mindset that Skull-Face (identity unknown) is connected to The Boss in some form... It's the only reason I can see Big Boss working with him, since that's a connection on an extremely emotional level (especially because Major Zero thought it right to see-through on The Boss' "vision," which was not quite-right in Big Boss' eyes, or eye, rather) that BB would jump-on, since there are few that knew The Boss (since BB killed her unit and whatnot).
Basically, regardless of Miler and the Diamond Dogs, Big Boss goes for the emotional reward, working with Skull-Face and securing the "right" vision of what The Boss wanted for the future of warfare and the Times...
Knowing OF her is one thing, but knowing her personally is another. I have my doubts about them two having a personal affiliation, but Big Boss working with him for his own personal gain certainly may be true. This is essentially the point where Big Boss loses sight of The Boss's will.
Seems we simply have to wait for the game to come out. I'm very curious to see what Skull Face's motivation, end game is. Showing he and Big Boss working together is very odd considering how TPP is all about revenge since Skull Face & XOF were the ones that ripped MSF a new one.
Yeah, but not that kind of race. Race & revenge are two themes here. And by race he means ethnicity (white, asian, black, hispanic, etc).
Huh. Really interested to see how this plays in the game.

Yes it common in hindu tradition to disperse those ashes into a river or ocean.
I don't know about this one but Aghori(devotees of Shiva) rub ashes of the dead all over their body
Quote from yahooanswers
"The ash of any burnt object is not regarded as holy ash. Bhasma (the holy ash) is the ash from the homa (sacrificial fire) where special wood along with ghee and other herbs is offered as worship of the Lord. Or the deity is worshipped by pouring ash as abhisheka and is then distributed as bhasma.
Bhasma is generally applied on the forehead. Some apply it on certain parts of the body like the upper arms, chest etc. Some ascetics rub it all over the body. Many consume a pinch of it each time they receive it.
The word bhasma means, "that by which our sins are destroyed and the Lord is remembered.” Bha implied bhartsanam ("to destroy") and sma implies smaranam ("to remember"). The application of bhasma therefore signifies destruction of the evil and remembrance of the divine. Bhasma is called vibhuti (which means "glory") as it gives glory to one who applies it and raksha (which means a source of protection) as it protects the wearer from ill health and evil, by purifying him or her"

That's what makes him great: you never know what you'll get with him.
And he's probably insane.

Found this on Reddit. Loved the picture of Captain Ginyu.

(Theory) What if Skull Face and Big Boss body swapped?
saw the cloud and gi and was convinced this was going to be a ridiculously long indepth theory that explain how Skullface was Goku.
disappointed.

You undererstimate the fanbase
There will be even more of them after the release ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)Then why is he siding with snake in MG2? They both went back to work with cypher, but BB's intentions where to get back at them when he had a chance. He got offered FOXHOUND as some sort of peace offering and Miller joined him, yes. We don't know Miller's true intentions, but BB was trying to use FOXHOUND as leverage and bid his time until he could find himself in a position to strike back again at Cipher. Miller sides with the player and "helps" him defeat BB. I can't see that as nothing else than treason, honestly. That's why Miller got replaced by Grey Fox as second in command, because they didn't share the same views anymore and became enemies, right?
Edit: Unless he was too, pretending to help Snake. This is all very confusing, we know BB sent Snake (a rookie) on such a big mission in hopes that he would never make it that far, his intentions were that he would fail. He judged Snake wrong and he ended his plans. In MG2, BB is not affiliated with Snake anymore and Miller backs Snake , maybe that was enough reason for Liquid kill Miller prior to MGS1, maybe as payback for him helping Snake kill BB and deprive him of his "revenge". Or maybe it's like you say, Miller was a sleeper agent and wasn't helping snake in MG2 but instead, keeping tabs on him. I don't think we are given enough information to assume which is it, so I guess it could go either way. Damn, I'd hate to live in that universe, everyone is a triple-crosser lol

Love reading things like this and it's crazy enough to be true.
Sorry can't help it
Was this shared earlier?
Yes. Kojima retweeted it.

Who are these people?
Was it? I looked through his page and couldn't find it.
Game of Thrones characters.
Yeah a few days ago. I posted it here.
So what happens if you use the Phantom Cigar to speed time and skip 3 days?
Yes it was. Not sure if it was his japanese or english account though.

I imagine Miller dies or is moved to another location and the TIME PARADOX screen comes up.

The Soviets send you Miller's head.

Oh okay. I'm usually pretty good at keeping updated on his tweets from both accounts, but I apparently missed that one.
I just watched the trailer again, and I realized that I somehow missed that last scene where BB is grappling with the Diamond Dogs soldiers. This scene kind of adds more weight to my mind control theory, because of the fourth soldier BB shoots. He's just shuffling by, seemingly in a trance. And this may be a stretch, but the other three that are holding BB don't look like they're moving normally. They almost look like zombies that would grapple you in Deadrising or something, not soldiers attempting to restrain someone. I still don't know how well my theory fits in the canon, but it still kind of seems plausible.

Nanomachines. lololol.
The alarm going off, is it perhaps somebody launching a nuke from an MG? And Snake's desperately trying to stop it. Perhaps it's a coup from within DD.
Also does anybody have a count of how many organisations BB has started? Reminds me of shell companies.

I reckon it's Kid Mantis' doing too.
The whole "protagonist switch" thing from MGS2 basically haunts the fanbase to this day.
They have to prepare for every eventuality.
Nope, not body swapping. The Face Off example was more interesting.
Would be neat if you could non-canonically proceed through the game without Miller.
thing is though, it fucked with kojima as much as it fucked with us. the backlash against raiden really killed his ability to mindfuck.
i remember theories for mgs3, mpo, mgs4, pw, gz, and they were all the same bullshit of "you're really playing as X character", "this character is REALLY this character" or "it's all a simulation" that we're seeing now.
Yeah, I'll take a face swap plot twist over some mystical body swap type deal any day.
I imagine if they did that it would be something like BB wakes up from the coma and tries to carry on where he left off, but everything he decides to do is suddenly awful and villainous. What the player doesn't know is that BB is actually Skull Face with BB's face. It could be a meta way of saying "you control this character, but he still has his own thoughts and motivations" or something.

If he is then it's basically MPO all over again.
