Wtf is that?

A flaming whale eating a helicopter.

Why? Is that so odd?

*blink*

 

[Gartooth]

I see that the GAF detectives have done great work once again. So my question is, is this game supposed to be viral marketing for Ground Zeroes or a separate game entirely? (Would be insane if KojiPro had two games in development like this at the same time)

 

[Ran rp]

At the end of the trailer the woman said "V has come to". V is the main character. V also = Vita. V the main character has been in a coma. Vita's life so far has been, well...

If V has "come to" then that means MGSV is Vita exclusive and savior confirmed.

 

[Poyunch]

I really really hope the next Metal Gear is a giant flying whale.

 

[funkystudent]

Wtf is that?

Well every game needs a new Metal Gear.

Thats Metal Gear Moby.

 

[ferr]

Moby Dick Studio and Metal Gear Solid have the same number of letters (14). Could be a cipher of some kind.

hmm, maybe.. Moby Dick Studio backwards is oiduts kcid ybom. Also 14 letters.. interestinginging.

V is for Vendetta.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Whatever it is, I like it!

Looks like it could be something special.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Wtf is that?

Phantom Eye Syndrome

It should be another game, if this is MGS5, there's no way that is GZ since that game is MGS5 prologue. Also seems like this is after GZ.

 

[sflufan]

V is the Roman numeral for 5.

V has come to = MGS V has come into being.

 

[AgentChris]

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

 

[Callibretto]

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...

I think this is the official pic? from the other phantom pain thread

960 x 540 res

 

[bigtroyjon]

This part seems like it would be Vita. Reminds me of games from 05/06 and not the stuff we've gotten the last couple of years

 

[Ran rp]

Edit: That gif with the helicopter kinda resembles the end of the GZ trailer as well...

I was actually working on that but the angles weren't similar enough make a match. It was also hard to tell due to the huge difference in body build between the two.

 

[oyoshimaru]

If this is fact not vita related and a metal gear game, any idea why Kojima chose a roman numeral?

 

[zroid]

hmm, maybe.. Moby Dick Studio backwards is oiduts kcid ybom. Also 14 letters.. interestinginging.

:O

Spoiler

:O

 

[Kamek]

V is for volgin.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

I didn't think official shots had been released yet. Also the Moby Dick Studios site only has "PS3" and "360" logos in the corner.

 

[Raonak]

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.

fuck that would blow my mind. It does seem like kinda weird how GAF found it out so quickly. It's a double twist.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

If this is fact not vita related and a metal gear game, any idea why Kojima chose a roman numeral?

Probably because V has other important meaning in the game, so using it as 5 makes sense.

 

[neptunes]

If this is fact not vita related and a metal gear game, any idea why Kojima chose a roman numeral?

Looks more prestigious?

Edit : and it resembles a peace sign?

 

[Gouda Jouji]

The running in this scene reminded me a lot of the running animation from Peace Walker

 

[Talladega Knight]

maybe...

 

[Seda]

If this is fact not vita related and a metal gear game, any idea why Kojima chose a roman numeral?

To make us needlessly speculate for fun.

 

[Amagon]

Ummm, it appears to be a giant, flying, on fire whale.

Haven't you ever seen a fire whale eating a helicopter?

A whale. Duh.

On fire.

Flying.

Eating a helicopter.

Seems like a standard whale to me.

It's clearly a whale... on fire. Probably the origin of the Moby Dick moniker.

A flaming whale eating a helicopter.

Why? Is that so odd?

*blink*

Well every game needs a new Metal Gear.

Thats Metal Gear Moby.

 

[Gospel]

The whale was a metal gear the whole time

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Pretty sure those aren't official though...

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

I. Big Boss

II. Solidus Snake

III. Liquid Snake

IV. Solid Snake

V... Has come to.

 

[Cassius]

Is that a British flag at the opening in the hospital?

Zero (Major Tom) is British.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Dailymotion has the trailer up, not sure if it offers better quality than gametrailers, make sure to select 720p.

[Skel1ingt0n]

I definitely think Bad Robot/JJ Abrams have SOMETHING to do with MGS right now.

Either they're making the trailers or in talks to do the movie.

Cause, yeah, the T-Shirts and LENS FLARE.

EDIT: Ohhhhh.... I get it. "V has come to..." As in, "V" is a person, and he has "come to" aka a phrase used when coming out of a coma. I feel like an idiot.

 

[thetrin]

Is that a British flag at the opening in the hospital?

Zero is British.

That's true. Liquid was also raised in the UK and served in the SAS.

 

[Ran rp]

I. Big Boss

II. Solidus Snake

III. Liquid Snake

IV. Solid Snake

V... Has come to.

Is that the actual birth order?

Pretty sure those aren't official though...

It's just the resolution of GT's video.

 

[BigBoss]

Is that the actual birth order?

No, Solidus was born after Solid and Liquid.

 

[Kaako]

That flying, flaming whale swallowing the chopper was such a sick touch. Kojima why you so godlike?

 

[Adnor]

Why everytime that a game is announced there's people saying that it must be a Vita game, even if it's announced for PS3 and 360?

 

[Seda]

This happens every single time? News to me.

 

[CorvoSol]

It's just the resolution of GT's video.

Liquid and Solid are twins, aren't they?

 

[greycolumbus]

The slaughtered men in the hallway imagery is very evocative of MGS1 and 2

 

[JonnyBigBoss]

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.

I pray to god for your sake that you're kidding.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Is that the actual birth order?

Nah, since Solid and Liquid are twins I thought that the order dosn't really matter.

 

[onQ123]

Why do I get the feeling that Cliff Bleszinski also has something to do with this?

 

[SpaceBridge]

Is it just me, but did any of you also find that trailer unsettling and a little disturbing. It was pretty brutal in its violence and twisted with the imagery and odd music/ sound effects.

Someone earlier cited Jacobs Ladder, which I kinda agree with.

 

[thetrin]

Cliff obviously works for KojiPro now.

Yeah, I did actually find it pretty disturbing.

 

[Kyon]

Why everytime that a game is announced there's people saying that it must be a Vita game, even if it's announced for PS3 and 360?

Every time? Lol I think you mean PC/Wii U

 

[zroid]

I pray to god for your sake that you're kidding.

Why would I kid about such serious business as numerology and the Vita Game Announcements (aka VGAs)

 

[Cartman86]

Cliff obviously works for KojiPro now.



Yeah, I did actually find it pretty disturbing.

Oh yeah totally. He was going around to different studios to recruit for KP LA to create the best studio in the US.

 

[SpaceBridge]

Cliff obviously works for KojiPro now.



Yeah, I did actually find it pretty disturbing.

The part where "Snake" is under the bed and that patient struggle to rise, gets shot in the head point blank and his head turns toward the vierwer, slackening with a pool of blood was actually pretty unsettling.

"Open your eyes, already"

Makes me think there's something very obvious hidden in the trailer. Its probably just the Metal Gear Solid V in the logo though.
