Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain release date nearing announcement

Hype for Chico de Mayo

V/V/201V

Realistically, a May release date isn't out of the question.

If they announce it at GDC in March, that would still give the devs at KojiPro 2 months worth of time to polish, finish and mass produce the game for retail. That is also plenty of time to get the word out about it [not that marketing of any kind is really even necessary].

Plus, the 05/05/2015 = V/V/201V is too cool of a marketing gimmick to pass up. Which is more eye-catching - the "V" being integrated into the actual release date or something boring like 09/16/2015?

*fingers crossed* Please release before E3 2015!

I know we are all eager for a release date and want one soon. But I'm actually glad Kojima hasn't committed to a release date yet.

With so many games being delayed like Witcher 3 and Arkham Knight. It's good that he says it will come out when it's ready.

So either Taipei or GDC. Another option is a special Metal Gear event organized by Konami similar to the 25th anniversary event where they will announce the release date, the box art, special editions and what not.
 
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?

Buy it since I'm all digital anyway, and even if I wasn't I'd still buy it.

Then if a CE is good enough, buy that and sell the disc as quickly as possible.

Nah, Yeeeeeong Yeeeeeah doesn't speak for real MGS fans.

This fine gentleman here is the real voice for all true MGS fans, Yong ain't got shit on him.

Where's the voice? I hear no voice. Plus, this theory of his that you linked is plain stupid. YongYea is the voice and we're his informants.

He doesn't need a voice, just like the Patriots. Python doesn't need to waste his time speaking in his videos unlike Yeeong who'll speak for 45 minutes with his robotic voice over a 2 minute trailer.

I mean... this guy here does more in a 59 second video about MGS than Yeeong does in his 30 minute videos.

All I can say is: Amazing!
 
Let me hop on!
Add me please
I wanna slither on too!
Also, can I be added on the hype train??
You guys have to put me on that metal hype
Count me aboard the Hype Gear too.
Can I board the Hype Gear as well? Pretty please!
And I as well..
Get me on the Hype Rex!
If there's a hype train or metal gear I'm going to need a seat on it.

Alright, I'll do that in the next update in some hours, when more people want to join.

I don't post this image here, actually. I just wanted to hype the release date. I'll post that picture in this thread: Metal Gear Community Thread: Made you wait, didn't I?

I keep thinking this is an actual announcement thread and then I'm disappointed. But really, why do I care? If it's not today or tomorrow or something, what diff does it make?

I think I'm getting old.
 
Throwing my 300th post here because it's METAL GEAR. I've doubts we get a release date next week, but I still want to believe.

Also, can I be added on the hype train??
