You might have to source that statement.

As far as I know its been running on a high end PC at every showing.

the same specs as a PS3 makes me very doubtful about your statement, you would have to struggle to create a PC that weak.

Any chance that's Paz they are brutally killing / pulling something out of?

Maybe a bomb in Kaz?

 

[Respawn]

Looks like Eli has a snake on his leg.

The damn giveaway is in the description. We all know the fate of Liquid and Snake.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

I just watched again, but this time on my big ass 65" HDtv, to get a way more proper feel.... ....amazing.

 

[Gouda Jouji]

Any chance that's Paz they are brutally killing / pulling something out of?

Apparently on Kojima's Japanese podcast they said it was Paz. That's what others here have said.

 

[firenskill2000]

What. I mean really, what.

The original Metal Gear games had a son killing his biological father. MGS1 showed you a woman getting shot multiple times and begging for you to escape. Raiden from MGS2 became a child soldier after his parents were murdered. He got a nickname because he killed plenty of people with a sword.

I can continue, but this idea that MGS is 80% goofy and 20% serious is pretty wrong. The series has always had a lot of bleakness and depressing themes.

I really think people completely miss the point when playing these games. Either that or they just skip 80% of the story because anybody who thinks that MGS games are mostly goofy clearly don't understand what's going on.

 

[ricen-beans]

unless graphically both the PS3 and PS4 look the same, that was NOT next-gen bro. Go back and watch Ground Zeroes trailer and listen what Kojima had to say about the specs. Please watch the GZ trailer and see for yourself then watch Kojima's interview with Geoff at PAX and listen to what he said.

I kinda agree. It looks really good, but when you really look closely the horses dont look that great. Their tales don't look that great either. You see low poly count in places, but the lighting hides most of it. I'm still not sure if that trailer was current or next gen. I think that is a testament to how good the Fox engine really is. Cant wait to see the PS4 version! Day one!!

 

[Cannon Goose]

I want this on PC so bad that it hurts.

 

[SMZC]

What if each Metal Gear Solid game is an independent unrelated story to all of the games that came before, and Kojima just uses the same "actors" in each game? Like Kenji Eno.

This.

Going with expectations plot-wise in regards to a new MGS is never a good idea. The amount of plot elements that Kojima changes for convenience is insane, no matter how centric those very same things may have been in the previous games.

 

[SpyGuy239]

MGS will always be my favourite game. This is true next-gen stuff (*edit: or not)!! Can't Wait!!!

btw that's alot of torture this time round in one trailer!!

 

[Erigu]

Any chance that's Paz they are brutally killing / pulling something out of?

It's confirmed to be her.

The damn giveaway is in the description. We all know the fate of Liquid and Snake.

And "Eli" and "David" are both biblical names, I guess...
(kinda fitting that someone named "David" would be fighting giant mechs, by the way)

 

[matrix-cat]

Pretty sure that idea was introduced in Metal Gear Solid 2.

Is it? I can't remember anymore, I was trying to scrub through Youtube videos of Liquid's MGS1 speeches but coming up empty. I need to do another full playthrough of the series.

Has anyone found a direct-feed version of this trailer yet? Youtube's 1080p can only go so far...

 

[Dictator93]

I want this on PC so bad that it hurts.

same

 

[Izick]

One more thing I want to share about this, that will be all and then I'll drop it:



"[Skull-Face] stars a character called Steve Costigan but this is not Howard's recurring character, Sailor Steve Costigan."


Sailor Steve Costigan seems to be one of Howard's most popular characters. Howard then goes and makes a completely different story about a much darker, seedier character. Same exact name (sans Sailor). Sailor Steve is known for his skills in pugilism (fighting). Sailor's Steve stories are a lot more light-hearted than the other Steve Costigan's stories.


Sailor Steve Costigan's first appearance is in Howard's 1929 short story, The Pit of the Serpent.

[Batzi]

Any chance that's Paz they are brutally killing / pulling something out of?

yes it is most likely her.

 

[Sub_Level]

It will be interesting to see if Liquid has any sort of mentor character in this game.

IIRC it's implied Big Boss didn't care for him much, or at least not as much as Solid. I haven't watched the original's cutscenes in a while though.

it looks like the Ground Zeroes' trailer and that was running on a PC with PS3 specs. So I say that was the PS3/360 version.

 

[-COOLIO-]

i am very very hyped.

mgs4 was the greatest video game of all time.

Translation error?

I can promise you what is being shown is impossible on current generation hardware.

There is almost no aliasing, the lighting, the texture quality, real shadows, and its running in 1080p. This looks like a PC game.

And I even took these images off of youtube and uploaded them to imgur which will impact the image quality.

I want this on PC so bad that it hurts.

Yep

 

[Shadow Red]

Looks like Eli has a snake on his leg.

Is it just me or did his double chin change to single chin in the video? Because if he has a double chin then that invalidates the theory of him being Liquid.

 

[CambriaRising]

Amazing trailer. I am so stoked.

 

[Evolution_1ne]

combat bikini doesn't seem very effective in military combat situations, but what do I know, I'm not even a womens

Yep

No translation error bro. Kojima said it on multiple occasions. If other developers were lazy to develop good looking games and take advantage of the PS3 it doesn't mean Kojima is willing to do the same..we both know how Kojima works and how much of a perfectionist he is.

 

[Erigu]

Is it?

When Liquid possesses Ocelot, during the Tanker chapter, if I remember well.

 

[Grinchy]

This trailer is just incredible.

 

[nib95]

Looked insanely good. Anyone know what it was running on in the trailer? PC?

 

[thetrin]

True, but his left eye looks really hollow. Also Big Boss gets to him at night, and puts sunglasses on him, light sensitivity could still effect him but there's a lot of darkness when he's being rescued.

I dunno. It's Kojima. The sunglasses could just be a symbolic gesture to return his dignity to him.

Is it just me or did his double chin change to single chin in the video? Because if he has a double chin then that invalidates the theory of him being Liquid.

You mean a double chin, or a cleft chin?

 

[Kaizer]

Think I've watched this trailer like 4 times now, yep I'm officially on the MGS hypetrain again. I remember I watched each successive MGS4 trailer for months after they came out - looks like it'lll be the same with MGSV.

 

[nordique]

Did they show what the game looks like running on current gen vs next gen?

Or have any comparisons been made?

 

[Batzi]

Looked insanely good. Anyone know what it was running on in the trailer? PC?

Most likely on a current-gen console or a PC locked at current-gen specs. That trailer looks like the Ground Zeroes trailer which was confirmed to be running on a PC with roughly the same specs as a PS3. People don't want to believe that for some fucking reason.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Wait, is this guy saying the red band trailer wasn't next-gen, but current gen

please say yes so I can laugh at the disillusions

 

[Blastoise]

Did they show what the game looks like running on current gen vs next gen?

I bet they won't go near that. It will probably be something reviewers will do once the game is out.

 

[JoeFenix]

This is so absolutely fucking amazing looking, in every single way.

Story, gameplay, setting, characters, graphics, music.

I lost it when I saw those amazing zombie troopers coming out of the sandstorm, I'm dying to play this now!

 

[sappyday]

This has probably been mentioned before but did anyone think of Red Dead Redemption when BB was in the desert?

 

[Sushigod7]

Please hurry up and release this game it looks amazing what will the PS4 version look like if this is basically running PS3? Damnnnn

This has probably been mentioned before but did anyone think of Red Dead Redemption when BB was in the desert?

I was secretly wishing we would see a PS4 RDR, I really want to see a good western.

 

[iavi]

People don't want to believe that for some fucking reason.

It's easy not to. MGSV looks leagues ahead of what was capable on the 360/PS3, for the reasons Grief already pointed out some posts back.

 

[Grief.exe]

No translation error bro. Kojima said it on multiple occasions. If other developers were lazy to develop good looking games and take advantage of the PS3 it doesn't mean Kojima is willing to do the same..we both know how Kojima works and how much of a perfectionist he is.

So because he is a perfectionist he is able to get 1080p, real shadows, gorgeous textures, and an open world?

Highly doubtful.

In fact, that was the first time that we have heard that it wasn't running on a high-end PC. Every single time MGSV has been shown Kojima has come out and said its been running on a high-end PC, even at that PAX event. That's why I believe that to be some type of translation error.

Hideo Kojima has unveiled a brand new Metal Gear Solid game at a Metal Gear Solid 25th Anniversary Event in Tokyo. The game is subtitled: Ground Zeroes and was demoed running on a high-end PC running Konami's next-gen 'Fox Engine'.

http://www.gamesradar.com/metal-gea...ark-above-your-head-first-details-and-images/

Hideo Kojima has been teasing us for past 18 months and it all comes to an end when Kojima reveals Metal Gear Solid V : The Phantom Pain trailer on Wednesday night at GDC.

 

[Salaadin]

Looked insanely good. Anyone know what it was running on in the trailer? PC?

I'm assuming it's the same down specced PC build they've been showing.

 

[Sub_Level]

When Liquid possesses Ocelot, during the Tanker chapter, if I remember well.

You do remember well.

Liquid: "You're drowning in time. I know what it's like, brother. No wonder Naomi passed you over for the FOXDIE program!"

and then soon after

Liquid: "The price of physical prodigy, two more years and you'll be another dead clone of the old man. Our raw materials are vintage, brother! Big Boss was in his late-fifties when they started making copies!"

The late fifties thing is of course retconned now.

 

[-COOLIO-]

the guy who's talking about the pain he feels from his missing limbs is experiencing literal phantom pain. the pain of losing friends, i guess that's a bit more metaphorical.

 

[braves01]

Thank you based Kojima

 

[Shadow Red]

I dunno. It's Kojima. The sunglasses could just be a symbolic gesture to return his dignity to him.



You mean a double chin, or a cleft chin?

Ah, I got my chins mixed up. Yeah I meant cleft chin that's apparent on 6:44.

 

[O.DOGG]

I want this on PC so bad that it hurts.

I echo this sentiment.

WRONG!

http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news...-gen-spec-hardware-official-screens-released/

Watch Geoff's interview with Kojima on GTTV. Please don't read random articles that mislead you. Many of the recent articles published on the internet claimed that Kiefer was voicing SOLID Snake. Pick a reliable source and I am telling you that Kojima said it himself in interviews!

 

[DrBo42]

I echo this sentiment.

But what else are we supposed to buy a next gen console for?

 

[matrix-cat]

the guy who's talking about the pain he feels from his missing limbs is experiencing literal phantom pain. the pain of losing friends, i guess that's a bit more metaphorical.

The pain of losing the last nine years of their lives, too. Wringing every last ounce of literal and metaphorical allusion out of a subject is kind of Kojima's thing

 

[Erigu]

I can confirm that they said it was running on a "current gen-like" spec PC. No translation error there.

 

[MormaPope]

Even more phantom pain theme stuff. Solid Snake and Liquid are two sons that can never have a real father. They will always be out of Big Boss's grasp and he could probably never raise a child with all the depression and anger he feels.

Two sons, created, not born, that Big Boss can never love or support. The pain of becoming a father but not being able to be one.

 

[Touch]

I don't even have words right now. I just wanted to type something because this game looks absolutely breath taking.
