Metal Gear Solid V release date - 2/24/15? (From Reddit! Take w/ grain of salt.)

I was late for the stream, but I briefly scrubbed through the archive. What was that MGS4 part about. I saw some text that said "fps" in overlay. MGS4 pc release?

@JunkerHQNet:
Paz's actor also talked about a cool bonus for people who've played Ground Zeroes

@JunkerHQNet:
So "a Christmas message from that person" turned out to be Paz's actor saying please be excited. Is there a more skilled troll alive today?

I do think it's cool that she's recording lines. Can't wait to see what this bonus is.

It's obviously a return of the the dating minigame.

Tara Strong returning would be nice though.

C'mon chinner, everyone was hyping this not just him.
 
ahahaha, im amazed that most people stayed tuned to the show expecting something big even after they saw a women in a chicken hat, mgs fans must either be some of the most bright eyed, optimistic fans on earth or they have trouble reading social situations, did anyone really think that something as huge as a release date was going to be given on a free show by a women in a chicken hat? or anything big for that matter?, i cant wait to read these comments saying that kojima "played us like a fiddle", this is all your guys fault for overhyping the shit out of this, as usual

Mgs4's release date was also announced on a podcast so there is precedent.

but his lies are fun

O yeah. When Kojima trolls, its because he has put something awesome in his games or he is promoting something widely unexpecting by having the biggest balls in the gaming industry [Raiden in MGS2, MGS3 Threatre announcement of MGS4, Joakim Mogren, PT,...].

When Hashimoto trolls, we all want to fucking die.
 
I hoped for "MGO Beta available from 8th January".
Or something like that. Sure not a chicken hat. Kojima hates us all.

Not taking blame for this. Not allowing Kojima to take blame for this.
You guys did this to yourselves.

When we release the date, or lead up to releasing the date, it will not be in some secret, coy fashion. It will be loud, proud, and big enough to be heard for more than just the super fans.

Yeah, but it was christmas :(
that's kind of the point. why announce a release date on a day when the press are not at work and large amounts of the people are busy with festivities?

and none of that "but it's kojima" bullshit. eccentric marketing in the past aside, nobody would shoot themselves in the foot like that.

the fans get worked up at even the slightest hint of anything being shown, and it's beyond embarrassing at this point.

I'd tried to tell them, but alas.

The hype must go on.

I've come to this realization (and so should everyone else), Kojima isn't as big of a troll as everyone think he is. He's tricked us a couple of times over the years and now he's built up this reputation for being a troll to the point where everyone is over analyzing everything he does. The release date will be announced in due time and david Hayter is not in the game.

GAF just needs to learn to control itself. MGGAF just needs help.

Umh, well, since it seems it isn't clear, of course I wasn't expecting a release date for the game.
I said a beta date COULD happen (to me) because is not something great as a release date, but if you read my other posts, really I didn't expect something from this, it was just a vague hope. But I will buy the Raiden's tanga of course, that was a reveal I didn't expect :D
i know. i'm just venting at the hysteria this place works itself into without any thought about logic

Telltale announced the game of thrones release date on thanksgiving.
not really the same thing, as thanksgiving is an American thing while Christmas affects a tremendous part of the world, especially in the west where the popular games press generally reside

People really need to stop expecting unceremonious reveals for Big Deal™ news. That's never been a thing and never will be.

If you're up at 3AM EST waiting for a megaton, chances are you've already made a huge mistake. Japanese event or not.

Yep, I've been thinking the same.
Kojima built his reputation with mgs2 raiden stunt, but after that all he did was never nearly as far fetched or elaborated as people give him credit for.
Everything the guy says is dissected and interpreted until it becomes the proof to any theory.
People are so desperate to prove they don't fall for his tricks, they are trying so hard to avoid being taken by surprise they now see tricks everywhere, riddles everywhere and troll themselves in the end.
