TLOU Online wasn't revealed until the last 2 weeks before release. So calm down.

At least you can talk. Who are you?

Wow so there is global concern about this. Thread merge?

It's just resting
Silent Hills would like a word.
Also, MGO3 isn't dead, the team is just hard at work to get the online function ready and streamlined by launch. Let them be!

I like the term global concern.

The Last of Us mp was barely talked about it and it turned out to have pay to win mechanics[many would argue at least] so they could be hiding something for MGS5 too.
Or maybe the online won't be quite ready at launch.

Do we need a thread of this every fortnight?
It's the game's secondary component and there's AAA games that get released with less footage than we've seen of MGO. The launch will be fine, the game will be fine. It's post-launch support you've got to worry about. Not every game needs a beta either.
The argument of 'we haven't seen much from it' is so pathetic. We didn't see anything of GTA V for a year before the trailer then another year before anything else.

I'm buying it for BOTH honestly. I and many others played MGO2 for a long time after MGS4 came out. It was the best online experience I've ever played. Cannot wait for it!

MGSV in general is being barely marketed.

We're going to get these threads like every day now aren't we?

MGSV's base invasions will probably be just fine (presentation will show off the online base elements this week). Not sure about MGO.

I'm betting it'll be patched in as a free update after release.
It's the online aspect of MGSV. It's basically the same thing except named differently.

Well I'm glad someone cleared that up for the OP. He was obviously confused.

Well technically it's Metal Gear Online 3. It'll even have a separate application on PS4 iirc.
I hope we get some footage before release. Not much long now.

Marketing like this makes it tough for gamers to seperate the wheat from the chaff

They can't cancel it. They've made promises regarding it being part of Metal Gear Solid V and content from the Collector's Edition being for Metal Gear Online.
I'm pretty sure it with launch after MGSV's release and be patched in. How long will it take? I think 2 weeks, like Grand Theft Auto V, would be the best case scenario.
My larger concern is how much the microtransaction influences spread to Metal Gear Online. I could see Konami approaching it as a free-to-play game, and I don't know if Kojima has/had the creative control over Metal Gear Online to stop that form happening.

No it's not, the online aspect of MGSV is the FOB stuff.
Metal Gear Online is its own thing.

It's not a priority for them.

MGSV's online is FOB (Forward Operating Bases) and is connected to the main game/single-player. MGO is the traditional versus multiplayer, which is its own thing (despite being included with MGSV)!

Is that when people get to be concerned?
There have been no announcements regarding Metal Gear Online being shown at Gamescom, so I don't know if we can count on seeing anything there.

Don't let Konami know you're interested.

it will probably be broken at launch and konami will say nothing. They have no interest in building a community or supporting this game.
I suspect servers will be shut down by this time next year. I'm considering the game to be single player at this point.

I don't think they've ever said that? They said it will launch alongside MGSV since it was announced.
Heh. Basically this OP.
But real talk, it's relatively fine. I don't remember Konami caring too much about MGO2 and I presume it was the same way with MGO1. Though, Konami being the way it is right now, I don't think it has a long and bright future. A relative small amount of people are buying MGS5 for MGO and the people that are are already gonna buy it for both.

the real question is will we be able to play it for more than 6 months or will they just shut it down and put the funds towards an erotic contra slot machine?

Yeah after TLOU and how that went i'm not too worried about MP components that aren't talked about. Now i'll still wonder why, but it should all work out.
My only guess is they figure MP can be used as a short of last minute hype booster for those on the fence.
