Just caught up on all the news. This is why I like GAF so much without you guys I wouldn't get the MGS Universe.

I think he was talking about games.
But the LA studio is KojiPro.

It might be that the game starts as Ground Zeroes and then goes into MGS5 proper which is called "Phantom Pains". Ground Zeroes has been stated by Kojima to be a prologue.

Alright then. So it's safe to assume there are two Snakes in the game and both may or may not be playable?!
Kojima did say the GZ is prequel. Who knows ..

Oh no. It will be an alternate reality, a new branching path for MGS.
Ground Zeroes is like the Tank in MGS 2 or the virtuous mission in MGS 3.
Yes it is a prologue!
Jeez, it's the same fucking game.

Looks like it's just Big Boss. Both in GZ and PP. Remember that Kojima said that Big Boss looked older in the GZ presentation because of the lighting, so the hospital guy could still be Big Boss.
Prosthetic hands are nothing new in the MGS universe.

Yeah, it's definitely something like that.
I'm liking what someone said earlier; "Ground Zeroes," and "The Phantom Pain," are the titles of the trailers. MGS5's proper subtitle has yet to be revealed.

Soft Snake.
Yeah that was me and i really think the final subtitle to MGS 5 will be revealed at E3.

Wow, that was a cool trailer.
But I'm really confused. Surely, they can't be working on both Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain at the same time? Kojima is trolling us again, isn't he?

It isn't unreasonable, especially if you've been tracking what Kojima has been saying closely since the release of MGS4. He's admired the way that Ubisoft is able to turn around Assassin's Creed games so quickly and dislikes that it takes Japanese developers so long to develop their games.
That is why they built Fox Engine in the first place, so that multiple projects could share the same technology, and so that they could have multiple teams working on different games at the same time. The MGS: Peace Walker team was team A, and the Metal Gear Solid: Rising team was team B. The Rising team didn't just disappear, they obviously are working on something.
And you combine that with the fact that KP has been really clear that GZ is not Project Ogre:

It's the best troll.
The plot is probably that you actually play as Joakim, CEO of Moby Dick, and these are all his Phantom Pains and hallucination after failing in video game business and now trying to come up with something successful, METAL GEAR series is born. All of it was a video game in some one's head.

Did people thought that this is how the engine looks on a real 360/PS3 instead of a PC with similar specs?
I hear the word downgrade a lot but what we saw didn't run on a current gen console to begin with...

For some reason people continue to mock it, even though there isn't another explanation for why the letters have spaces "randomly" cut out of them otherwise.

I am fine with this, but...hasn't Geoff said that Phantom Pain isn't from anything we've ever seen before?
I guess we could chalk it up to spinning words and hype and whatnot, but that would be lame. But probable.

- Dip tastes weird
- Drinks are watered down
- Serious downgrade from last year's party
- If Bill wasn't hosting, I probably wouldn't care at all about this party

Don't forget Metal Gear Solid: Rising‎!

Pretty much what is at the back of my mind at the moment.
I'm pretty sure it was done this way on purpose to make the facade as breakable as possible. It's meant to be a red herring. If they did too much background, some journalistic entity might just take it at face value and report on the studio being real, Swedish, and new.

It already appears in the logo of this trailer, Metal Gear Solid V : Phantom Pain
The supposed name of the CEO of the fake developer of this game is Joaquim Mogren. Joaquim = Kojima, Mogren = Ogre
This seems to be Project Ogre.

I can't wait for that! Been in development for too long. Kojima is going to unveil it the moment Platinum Gamea release theirs...

You play as Virtuous Snake, the fifth (V) Snake who was once a no name soldier who entered in a coma and lost his arm. He has been treated to heavy plastic surgery and Psycho Mantis has been introducing hallucinations and memories that belonged to Big Boss to make him fully believe that he's Big Boss and a real "Snake", the twist is the soldiers from the trailer are MSF soldiers since Big Boss discovered Zero plans and is trying to kill Virtuous Snake.

Maybe they just changed the name from Ground Zeroes to Phantom Rain. The graphics look the same, definitely the same platform.
Edit: And no, next-gen is not just prettier shaders. It's being able to go into every building in a game like GTA, for example.

They all look good but consist of tiny set pieces. Compare that with the ground zeroes trailer or even this one. Also compare the assets of the phantom pain trailer with those from TLoU. They look clearly superior. Not talking shadows here.
I'd prefer Kojima to forget about all this stuff and just make a game about a guy with a war trauma
It's "Metal Gear Rising"

That would be interesting but he wouldn't be allowed to do so. Konami won't let the dude to work on anything that isn't MG.

It's an extremely accurate prediction of what the next gen (and future gens) are going to look like. Budgets can't climb much higher than the astronomical level they're at, so we're limited to whatever the developers can muster with $20 million in their pockets.
Didn't you see that interview? Kojima even said he doesn't like being called "The Metal Gear Guy." He wants to make new IPs, but the Metal Gear brand name is just too strong. So he's going to incorporate elements and ideas he would have saved for new IPs...and put them under the Metal Gear brandname.

Pure speculation:
Yeah. If this is the real BB and not a clone, could be between MG1 and MG2. But it could also be post MGS2, when Big Boss is put back together with body parts from Solidus and Liquid snake.
Well who knows what project Ogre is going to be.
Oh, didn't know that. And I guess that trailer certainly showed that he's introducing new gameplay ideas.

He should be way older and he dosn't look like he was patched with multiple parts of dead bodies....

Agreed. Kojima is the best troll.
