is Kyle Cooper

Designer of title sequences who worked previously on MGS2 & 3, founder of Prologue films.
 
If you pay close attention, there's a hint in the Ground Zeroes trailer:

Then Silent Hill has merged with Metal Gear? No more Silent Hill? I love MGS (the original is my favorite game) but I don't think this is the direction Kojima would take the series for a mainline MGS. Ground Zeroes sounds more deserving of the "V".
 
If Moby Dick Games is real, their site says PS3/360, so... I dunno, I doubt it's for Vita.

I'm pretty sure that's a joke. Note the doritopope.

Insane For Sony
Wait... is this true?

I don't believe it's a Vita release... but if the screenshots are in that res... yeah, that's some pretty decent evidence...
*edit* I'm probably an idiot and those are video captures from trailer. Time to go to bed it seems.

It's true, they are in another thread:

They show more AA than I think Vita would be able to have, so they migh tbe just downscaled from 1280x720p to hide alpha to coverage dithering.

MGSV instead of MGS5, lots of reasons to believe this is a Ground Zeroes Spinoff, we know that GZ is NOT MGS5, and the screenshots are in Vita resolution.

I'm kinda starting to think this actually IS a Vita game, and not actually MGS5.

In any case, I'll be getting it. Can't wait... love this stuff!

what official screenshots?

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
The numerology supports MGSV being on Vita too!


In Japan time, the VGAs were held on 2012/12/8

The letters VITA can be expressed by the numerals 22-9-20-1

Rearranged, 2012/12/8 gives: 22 81 20 1. Add 8 and 1 together, you get 9. So, in other terms, 22-9-20-1.

This was all planned from the beginning.

Yes, exactly. How will Pyramid Head figure into the character arc of Big Boss? Maybe Big boss killed Major Zero in the future and travelled back in time to warn his old self about the dire consequences and self-inflicted guilt he would have in the future! I mean, if you look at the trailer shot with the Pyramid Head, it all makes sense:

Holy crap I didn't pick up on all those MGS clues but my wife and I were both wondering why another studio would make their character look like Big Boss/Snake.

wtf
 
Has anyone posted gifs comparing Snake's crawl from the GZ trailer and the guy crawling in this trailer?

Edit: That gif with the helicopter kinda resembles the end of the GZ trailer as well...
 
Who would announce a game for two platforms and then months later say:"Hey just joking is for Vita!"

I don't think not even Kojima would put such bullshit.

Ultimate troll move if MGS V and MGS 5 are different games - V for Vita and 5 for consoles. Then again that's exactly the sort of thing Kojima would do.

you know...it doesn't haven't to be a V necessarily. it could be the first part of a W...

Metal Gear Solid Wind Waker The Phantom Hourglass Pain

IT ALL FITS TOGETHER.
 
People are comparing Big Boss's quest for revenge to Ahab chasing the white whale, but maybe we're looking at it wrong. Kojima's way into meta-shit, so let's go up a level. What the hell are we doing right now? We are desperately scouring this trailer, various websites, twitter, and stuff happening at the VGA for shreds of evidence that Phantom Pain is MGSV.

We are chasing a white whale.

And we are never going to catch it. This is not an MGS game, or at least it's not as simple as that.

Kojima, you magnificent bastard.
