see this is why i dislike new mgs game reveals because then 75% of the posts are people taking random things from all over the series and throwing them together because "kojima tricked us that one time ten years ago!!!"

lol i bet it's cyborg raiden teaming up with young colonel campbell and fighting the fourth snake clone but it's all a vr simulation being run by sunny in 1958!!! look at this pixel!

not to mention the obvious fact it's a stealth themed game.

So two things are obvious lately


1. Cumberbach is playing Gary Mitchell

2. This is MGS related.

Yeah. I'm watching it now: they had "technical difficulties" right as Adam Scott was introducing it, then they cut to commercial (for a long time), then they're back to continue the show.

SO PUZZLY AND CRYPTIC. DID WE WATCH THAT OR WAS IT ALL A DREAM?

Hm, the way I see it. Could this game be simultaneous to MGS4 when Big Boss wakes up from his coma?

However, the problem is that he still has his arm. On the other hand (lol) Liquid had his arm cut off too. I wonder what parallels they'll make?
 

That thing in the elevator is the same thing that's floating in the air at the end of the trailer, if anyone didn't notice already. Its back is facing the camera in the screen shot. Appears to be a child. Might be my mind playing tricks on me but also a black strap is visible going around the side of its head. Gas mask?

maybe if we havent figured it out in like 5 seconds

it was lame. They could have hinted at it way less and create an ARG of some sorts. Missed opportunity.

the problem with metal gear games, is that the fans are used to this stuff. so we immediately jump on it and figure it out.

i'm still going with my theory, that this is the solid and liquid after they were cloned story.

What exactly have you firgured out, that its a MG game, that is obvious. But please tell us more, what game is this exactly? What Snake is that? What is actually going on? You say its not a puzzle so please answer us.

This is actually a really cool idea.
 
The best outcome here is that this actually has nothing to do with Kojima and everyone just looks like a lunatic looking back on this.

Unfortunately, the truth is probably way less fun.
 
this has to be a liquid game the british stuff id a hint.

from the metal gear wiki

Liquid was raised in the UK shortly after birth. His real name was also heavily classified to the extent that even someone among the highest levels of the military chain of command was forbidden to know it.[4] In 1974, Cipher decided to use Solid Snake and Liquid Snake as an insurance policy against Big Boss, should he continue to oppose the organization.

Yup I see it. MGS5 confirmed. (just watched the archive and confirmed this image isn't doctored)

So 2 MGS games in development

MGS: Ground Zeroes
MGS5 (possibly subtitled: The Phantom Pain?)

God damn you kojima, the seemingly out of place british flag and missing arm has me thinking it's an old revived liquid snake now. If only we heard him speak..

If big boss can still be alive at the end of MGS4, after the ridiculous amount of times he was supposed to die then why cant liquid?
