Wait, are people really serious about this being a Vita game? I thought it was sarcasm at first but it seems like it isn't. Sony would be teasing this through the roof if it was. The V instead of a 5 is related to the codename Snake has in the hospital.

This is the next gen tease Geoff was talking about. Adam Scott said something to that before the trailer started.

The biggest question is if this and Ground Zeroes are separate or not. Kojima said they were separate before but this looks so similar that I have a hard time believing that to be true.

MGS Peace Walker was gonna be MGS5, and that's a PSP game. Why not

Star Wars 1313 is the only real next-gen game we've seen, and it's not even UE4. This (and GZ, which are more than likely part of the same game) are clearly current-gen.

This is seriously one of the coolest things I've seen all year in the world of gaming. I love Kojima and his love of trolling the shit out of people.

Fuck...what an awesome trailer. Even if that had nothing to do with MGS (its totally is MGS 5), it still would be an awesome piece. Great cage rattling vibe the whole way through.
 
Theory - Moby Dick is a real studio (just a new branch of KojPro). The game is being developed in Sweden as the first Western-made Metal Gear as alluded to by Kojima in the past. I suspect it's comprised of a lot of ex-GRIN staff. That would possibly explain the visuals if they are using their own Diesel Engine.
Nope, first Western-made Metal Gear is being made in Northern California, they had a bunch of job postings a couple years back.

There is an original PSP game. It's not far fetched
 

jett

I'm surprised this trailer had english voices.

Kojima said we won't have to wait too long for GZ. So release can't be too far away.

Yeah, I'm pleased with the little English facial animation we got. Definite improvement over MGS4.

I still hope against hope that Hayter gets shitcanned for this game. He's so bad.

I don't think the Vita could handle this visually at all. Peace Walker was obviously a PSP game.
if this is the case i'll eat my hat because that's the worst looking next-gen game ive ever seen
It looked on par with the Ground Zeroes trailer, which no one thought could possibly be current gen. Of course, I saw a rather low quality feed so that may have clouded things for me a bit. Will need to wait for HD.

If this and GZ are one in the same I bet they'll be cross gen.
 
Hm...

deep troll
 
Maybe this is supposed to be a tie-in for the Vita?

I mean, in all honesty, I have no hope that this is for the Vita, and assume that everyone wanting it for the Vita is thinking wishfully

I could be wrong though

Look the doctor model.

If this is a Vita game, every Vita developer should be fired for incompetence.

some of the effects on Ground Zeroes looked pretty great for this gen's consoles. So there's room to believe it could potentially be next gen

doctor in this trailer looked like any character im seeing in Far Cry 3 these last couple days

I mean whatever, im not saying one game is next gen and the other one isnt, the only thing I have clear is that Phantom Pain is not a next-gen game.
 
I have to think that Sony would have spent the entirety of their TGS presentation on this game if it was Vita exclusive. They have nothing like a game of the magnitude of a mainline MGS game on the Vita and it would be some form of life support they desperately needed to show.

nah. i think the sweden stuff is a total red herring. you can't just create a triple a studio without anyone noticing.

i don't think this is being developed by koji japan though. it's probably being developed by the new koji pro l.a (who might be renamed moby dick studios) - http://jobs.gamasutra.com/jobs/1319...esigner-Kojima-Productions-Los-Angeles-CA-USA - and overseen by kojima. hence the westerners at the party wearing moby dick studios t-shirts and imaizumi not taking responsibility for it.

Looking at the trailer looks like a current-gen game. Some low-res shadows here and there and another rough things, but a Vita game? Hell someone licence Fox engine to the other developers out there...
