/ 201

This is my most anticipated game of next year, and I'm on the May train. People might be tired of Troy Baker, but Ocelot Baker is one of the think I'm most excited to see! Let's hope he has a pretty sizable role.

 

[strafer]

Strafer pls go.

Why?

im being realistic

 

[Loakum]

Actually I think MGSV will be released THIS year. Now as for Uncharted 4...that's soooo an 2016 game. Watch.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Why?

im being realistic

Koji did say a 2015 release

 

[DJIzana]

This will be the first Metal Gear game I'll have played since the Playstation 1 version. I am ready to jump back in. Love me the open world and the sheer amount of craziness this game will have!

 

[Stereogatari]

If it releases in March my body will not be ready.

 

[DrKelpo]

if kojima says next week, that it will be available digitally the same evening, how many of you would be strong enough to wait for the physical release?

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

if kojima says next week, that it will be available digitally the same evening, how many of you would be strong enough to wait for the physical release?

I get paid next week. I'd pay for it immediately.

Then I'd buy whatevet limited edition physical edition is available as well as a standard version.

 

[giancarlo123x]

if kojima says next week, that it will be available digitally the same evening, how many of you would be strong enough to wait for the physical release?

I'd just buy it digitally and then buy it again physically.

 

[SJRB]

if kojima says next week, that it will be available digitally the same evening, how many of you would be strong enough to wait for the physical release?

...why would anyone want to do that? This isn't abstinence or something.

 

[Slowdive]

Why?

im being realistic

From the official site:

 

[Astral]

I think Kojima is gonna surprise us with an early release date.

 

[mf.luder]

An announcement of an announcement.

 

[Live Free or Die]

I think Kojima is gonna surprise us with an early release date.

Yep, I agree. March.

 

[JayEH]

if kojima says next week, that it will be available digitally the same evening, how many of you would be strong enough to wait for the physical release?

I'm planning on buying both so this wouldn't be an issue for me.

 

[robotrock]

I want to play this before I die

 

[Jagernaut]

Wonder if there will be a console bundle like they did with MGS4.

A special edition MGS PS4 system would be nice since I haven't bought one yet. I was envious of the Gunmetal grey special PS3.

 

[FourMyle]

Here's to hoping there are no technical/server problems with MGO at launch. Can't wait.

 

[Lernaean]

OK, I'm setting myself for disappointment, but what the heck, let's go crazy.

HAI!

 

[Nestunt]

September, i bet

 

[BossLackey]

I need a fucking release date. Just give it to me!

No more teases. I want a solid date to look forward to.

 

[NumberThree]

Technically, the game's release date has been nearing announcement for all of time.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

September, i bet

Indeed since it has to avoid the following games:

- CoD
- UC4
- TR2
- I forgot but is Halo 5 releasing this year?

But yeah sept at the latest and maybe early oct.

 

[Storm Raider]

I'd just buy it digitally and then buy it again physically.

Id probably do the same hahaha.

 

[LORD_SCUFFINGTON]

V/V/201V?

It is a Tuesday...

this isnt to far fetched actually!!!!!!

 

[NoctisVsStar]

this isnt to far fetched actually!!!!!!

If it gets announced at GDC will it be enough time for marketing to do it's job ?

 

[StarVigil]

V/V/201V?

It is a Tuesday...

Mark your calendars!

 

[Philippo]

If it gets announced at GDC will it be enough time for marketing to do it's job ?

Well the game already had a glorified demo and countless trailers that got huge attention everytime (E3 '13/14, VGA,TGA etc.), i guess it doesn't need that much marketing.

 

[Twilight Princess]

My PC is ready. Will this be the best MGS game since the original????? Can't wait!!!!

 

[Spaghetti]

finally, an mgsv release date thread with some proper basis behind it.

hoping for day and date launch on all platforms, including PC.

 

[The Omega Man]

Game is finished, but Kojima will hire an American company to do a a real life nebulous and nonsensical intro effectively pushing the game to an early 2016 release.

 

[DieH@rd]

An announcement of an announcement.

It was not an announcement, it was him responding to a question. We already know that game is coming out in 2015, there is nothing wrong with him telling that date will be announced soon.

 

[Deckard Chapel]

If it gets announced at GDC will it be enough time for marketing to do it's job ?

We have known about this game for such an incredibly long time, I don't think we need much if any marketing.

Just announce the release date and the necessary people will know when to get it. It will sell by word of mouth to everyone else simply by the game existing.

 

[pahamrick]

A special edition MGS PS4 system would be nice since I haven't bought one yet. I was envious of the Gunmetal grey special PS3.

Going by their latest lazy editions, it would end up being the standard white or black with a themed HDD cover.

Nothing like some of the awesome PS3 special editions.

 

[Skullface]

I second this. They seem have been going for the viral marketing angle since day one. I don't think they need to spend a dime on advertising at this point. If they were to announce that the game will be released tomorrow, I think they would have the same amount of sales as if they had dropped several million on advertising. Furthermore, I haven't seem a tv ad for any Metal Gear games since the 90s for MGS1.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

I really want a "available in 24hrs" announcement. Kojima would set the internet on fire.

Would literally call in sick to work.

 

[TwoDurans]

Would literally call in sick to work.

I've already established that I'll be out for two days when TPP comes out. For the last 5 releases I've done this.

I don't work on Metal Gear Day.

 

[dc89]

MGS moves for no game.

 

[Lernaean]

Would literally call in sick to work.

For a week.

 

[Deckard Chapel]

Completely and unequivocally correct.
