A) The "fine tuning" in a Kojima game may take longer than we'd like

B) Even if the game can feasibly be on shelves in June for example, there's still the issue of choosing the best timeframe to fit Konami's strategy

November just fits, as much as I hate to admit it.

i think april, may, july, august, or september (destiny spot from 2014) would be ideal for MGSV. october and after are too jammed up with AAA titles. batman is coming in june. the MGS faithful will show up no matter what, but you can get more casual gamers to dip their toe into the MGS water if it releases away from those titles (ie. away from batman, CoD, AssCreed, uncharted, halo, etc)
 
I just hope MGS V doesn't come out at the same time as Uncharted 4...

I almost never pre-order games but I took advantage of the $40 UC4 one, so I'd hate to have to choose between playing MGS V (which is gonna be a huge time sink I'm sure) and Uncharted.

I think it's tomorrow? Some people are saying the released date will be announced but they say that all the time.

Definitely keep expectations low for tomorrow.

I have to agree. I'm not expecting anything other than another ruse. :/ I mean, gameplay is great and all, but I'd like to play the game sooner than later. If we can just get an estimate on release... That's all I want...

New info is confirmed but don't expect the release date.
 
Yeah, I've never heard of the Taipai Game Show. I doubt he'd reveal the date at something so small. Too bad :/ I really need to know the date so I can clear everything on my schedule for a whole week.

So small? It's actually pretty big. 400 000 visitors brother.

Here's the countdown for the show

Why are you reading my tag instead of the title of my post?

That counter got me super mega hyped for like 5 seconds before I realized what it was for... usually counters are worth counting for...
 
I finished Ground Zeroes on PC a few weeks ago, and it was so damn great that I can't wait for Phantom Pain, this wait is excruciating! At least we'll know soon...

I seldom watch Ground Zeroes opening just for the eye candy, and because it's masterfully directed, it never gets old. Damn, I'm gonna play it again as soon as I get home! (thankfully there's lots of replayability in this game)

Why would it gets old if you rarely watch it anyway?
 
I don't need Hayter in MGSV because Solid Snake is not the protagonist, and Hayter should have never voiced Big Boss in the first place.

David Hayter will voice Solid Snake in MGSV.

#Team A
 
How crazy would it be though if Kojima had been playing us all along and Hayter was the voice of Snake in MGS V ? It would probably surpass the Raiden twist.
