The first of September has been staring everybody in the face.

kojimaaaaaa

 

[Clawww]

awesome video

 

[illmatic22]

Cool. More time for me to play Arkham Knight.

 

[Mr. RHC]

June was never going to happen. It's always been a hype train by a vocal minority, it was bound to crash and burn.

 

[kmax]

 

[Stratosphere]

Kojima once again confirming that BB barely talks is majorly concerning IMO.

 

[DryvBy]

Kojima must be so happy right now.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

I really like the new art a lot! As for release date, I think it is good news cuz there will 3 months available to play and finish The Witcher 3 and Batman: AK multiple times to actually see and experience everything before TPP comes out.

Oh and Kojima, please stop lying to yourself again by saying that this will be your last MGS, cuz to be frank we all know that this is not true)))))))

What is the deal with IGN? I don't get it.
Also, 6 months away, AMAZING!!!

 

[strafer]

Never trust IGN

Holy shit, we've been played like a string instrument

6 months of hyperbaric chamber

 

[Fjordson]

Damn, was hoping it'd be earlier, but whatever. Hype.

 

[robotrock]

FUUUUUCK

[Genio88]

The same month of my birthday...but i would have expected it sooner, now it's gonna be so tough to wait

 

[swearing-circle]

Ffs. Kojima should stop announcing games years before release.

 

[keltickennedy]

Kojima once again confirming that BB barely talks is majorly concerning IMO.

I think it's a good idea. Dialog has never been the MGS series strong point.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

hope there's a mgo3 beta in the summer

 

[Randam]

Holy shit, we've been played like a string instrument

i dont get it.

what is up with the date (1/9)?


and is this a leak?

 

[sjack]

Ugh, I'm not a fan of the part in the video where Kojima said he wanted to turn Big Boss into a borderline silent protagonist. The whole concept of player avatars and "putting your feet in the character's shoes" is so overrated and dumb.

I find it much relatable interesting having a well written and devevolped protagonist than playing as a fucking mime. I remember he said he had similiar goals with Old Snake during interviews for MGS 4, and he was barely a character in that game. Solid Snake and Big Boss are so much more as characters than simply avatars for the players, and I'm disappointed that Kojima has decided to take this direction in developing Big Boss.

 

[Foxtastical]

Final Metal Gear Solid game? Final Metal Gear Solid for Kojima?

Deja Vu.

 

[Blablurn]

Show me dat Japanese CE pls

 

[bananafactory]

I think it's a good idea. Dialog has never been the MGS series strong point.

I don't know, I always liked the unnecessarily long exposition scenes with Snake.

 

[wmlk]

I'M NUUUUUCLEAR

September??? That's really far away
Anyway, day 0 for me

 

[mgs2master2]

So besides being incredibly excited. I took away 2 things


Snake is more or less a silent protagonist now? WTF. I wonder how the US/EUR VOs will different from JPN.

This will be the final Metal Gear "SOLID" game in the saga? The franchise might live on, but the "Solid" saga will end here? Interesting.

 

[Vik]

I burst out laughing when he said it'll be his final Metal Gear...

 

[sam777]

silly Kojima, in merica we put the month first instead of the date ;P


but damn, mind blown D:

In the U.K we do it the proper way 1/9, stupid U.S system.

 

[dancrane212]

Final game in the current Metal Gear saga, according to Kojima.

"Even if the Metal Gear saga continues, to me this is the last Metal Gear."

Just give me a playable MG1/2 epilogue in PP and I'll be good too.

 

[Pearson]

But.... that's so far away

 

[Screaming Meat]

A-fucking-mazing.

...can't wait for the complaints about Snake not talking much. Have they started yet?

 

[RPGamer92]

Is it still being released for PS3/360?

 

[WrenchNinja]

Lmao batzi

 

[strafer]

Oh shit, they got Dawg too.

 

[fritzo]

regarding the leak. maybe they should have just announced it, instead of announcing an announcement. I mean this is video games peeps, so many things leak nowadays. Just put that shit on twitter. boom. ah well. Sept 1!

 

[Various Artists]

Doh was hoping for June. And now we play the waiting game.

 

[Kain]

I wanted it sooner damn it

 

[paragonpro]

I wanted june but ahh! this is also really great release timing! No doubt this is my most anticipated game of the year, and I'm just so damn happy its finally coming. Also, gotta feel bad for who ever is taking the blame for this leak at IGN, and the

Spoiler

"snake is a mostly silent protagonist in this game"

has me just a bit concerned, as I never put myself into the role of snake or big boss in any of the MGS games because he was such a strong character.

 

[Sub_Level]

Cool. My initial guess from way back was March 2015. I was so off.

 

[Rastafarian42]

Can't Wait Day 1.

 

[dc89]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

It's just dawned on me that I'll probably be away with work for a month come mid September. A MONTH.
I wonder if I can take my PS4, hook it up in my hotel room.

 

[AdanVC]

I'll still be chugging away at the Witcher 3 and Batman in June anyway so this is good.

I find it funny Kojima or Konami would get angry at it getting leaked, I mean they're getting the exact same reaction todsy as they would if it was announced tomorrow...

Yes but it was nice to remember tomorrows official announcement and get hyped. Now when I think of tomorrow's announcement I'm like "Oh..." and now the hype has gone But it's really nice that we finally have a release date even if it's still too far away. Guess it's time to start saving for a PS4 with this and Bloodborne next month.

Edit: Bloodborne THIS month I should say. Wow time sure flies, it's already March!

 

[murgo]

Nice. My birthday. That's a fucking awesome birthday gift, haha.

Awesome, that's my birthday. It'll be a nice present from myself
However, that's still 6 months to go

On my birthday? How sweet of you Kojima <3

Oh what a beautiful day it'll be

 

[gdt]

Hmm, I'm fine with the date, and I liked everything he said.

Don't know about the Snake being a silent protagonist part. Don't think I like that at all.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Final game in the current Metal Gear saga, according to Kojima.

"Even if the Metal Gear saga continues, to me this is the last Metal Gear."

Watch him come out with a WWII game 'I said that was the last, but this one is the FIRST!'

 

[KingHenrik30]

Ok, well I guess that makes sense.

 

[ktroopa]

roll on Wed 4th and the big annou.. oh wait ?
