wasn't he born in '76?

Solidus's birth year was never mentioned. We can only assume he was also born in '72.

Solidus's birth year was never mentioned. We can only assume he was also born in '72.

But in 74 there were only 2 clones and it is mentioned that Solidus is born later

 

[Ballistics]

yeah we really don't know how the accelerated aging works, but solid snake went from nearly his normal age in looks in mgs2 to that of a 60+ year old man in mgs4. it's safe to say that the majority of the acceleration takes place later, at least for solid and liquid. eli is another piece of evidence of that, he's 12 and he looks 12. so solidus could hypothetically age faster than the other 2, but we really don't have much evidence to support that. plus, 8 year old solidus looks like 49 year old big boss? ehhhhh. solidus being someone like the medic would be at least a little big more plausible. still, like the last few mgs games, fans are obsessed with the main character being someone else and/or the game being some kind of VR simulation. time and time again people have come up with these theories post mgs2 and time and time again we've gotten the game, setting, and main character that was presented to us in trailers.

Solidus being the medic is even less plausible!? He'd be at most 3 years old.

ha, yeah that's true

So the announcement will be at 8 AM EST tomorrow right?

 

[realcool]

So the announcement will be at 8 AM EST tomorrow right?

From IGN:

On March 4 at 6am PT (9am ET, 2pm GMT, 1am AET on March 5), we're revealing big Phantom Pain news, as well as a special message from series creator Hideo Kojima.

 

[Skullface]

I'm still leaning towards the imaginary angle on that one.

I'm with you on this. Hallucination or something in that way of things

it's 1 day and 30 mins. Tomorrow at that time, not today.

Yep. I think Ishmael is BB himself, that also explains why we never see him actively help him walk or stand up when he's on the floor.

 

[jeh]

My guess is on Wednesday the website will show 1984 on the watch, at which point we will have to use the Phantom Cigar so it can fast forward to June 24th of this year.

Are we allowed to have this conversation again now that release date announcement is imminent?

That's an interesting guess. Nice.

Damn that would be cool.

T-minus 24 hours until announcement! If you haven't already, be sure to get your predictions locked in: http://strawpoll.me/3771393

So far it looks like a third of you are certifiable, and another third are thinking June. Only two other people are predicting August like myself...

 

[GreyOcelot]

My gut says September, but i wouldn't be surprised if it's June

Nah.

The game is done. Only QA remains.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Kojima knows better than to release a game in that cluster fucker of a time frame. Plus, the game is already complete, so June sounds more logical.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Release date, Ground Zeroes bundled in at no extra cost, would be nice.

 

[Stratosphere]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Kojima is likely going to release in August because I arbitrarily picked that month and how cool would it be if I picked it right?

 

[Muffin Awesome]

I just hope the GZ pc specs are the same for TPP. Just traded my ps4 for a PC :O

Kojima rerecorded entire sections of VO for mgs4 in February before it's June release.

I hope so too.

Oh wow I feel special, I voted June and unknowingly broke the deadlock in June's favour (101 for June, 100 for May).

 

[Sheriff_Battlesnake]

I've been saying V/V/201V for awhile, and agreeing with everyone who said June. I forgot May is a thing.

Also, shit didn't notice it was 2 days

 

[NealMcCauley]

The website looks like it's getting hammered. I wanted to use the phantom cigar and hear the "whoooo-ahhhhhhh" again, but the page just keeps refreshing with missing elements.

Yeah, i cant seem to load the page.
Imagine tomorrow, its going to be 10x worse

Sorry to burst your bubble but....that would be kinda cool since my birthday is in that month.

I can't stop laughing at the randomly placed, "Start talking bitch" in the upper right-hand corner.

Omg I jokingly wondered whether they put the "whoooo-ahhhh" in there or not.

 

[Paradise Brunch]

The page is back alive....for now

AHAHAHAHAHA*snort*HAHAHA GOD DAMN YOU

 

[Graphics Horse]

wow I'd never noticed that

 

[Kain]

OK, let's do something fun: seeing as this game is very close to the originals MG in timeline terms, how many retcons will there be?

I'm fully expecting a recording at the end placed after MGS with Kaz announcing he is not dead and that he will be the next villain for MGSVI.

BELIEVE.

 

[ShadowKingpin]

AHAHAHAHAHA*snort*HAHAHA GOD DAMN YOU

 

[reminiscingLemon]

Is anyone prepared for a November release?

be sure to put down some pillows and blankets ready for droppers from the news
