I don't think there's a living organism in there.

Look closely, it's likely mecha.

Spoiler

But..why need a space suit for a mech? When we find out we'll be ashamed of our words and deeds.

I've also thought it could be a mask within a mask so we can't see the protagonist's face.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

And it will be called "Halo Solid"

 

[Dead_Pixel]

EVA!

How many other MGS references will be in this game, I wonder...

 

[mysticllama]

I don't know, it seems like Shinkawa could whip up a design like this pretty quick. Personally I actually think it is lacking in a couple of ways, but as they were obviously going for a pseudo-realistic space suit, it makes sense for it to bulky. I'd hope they are up to making revisions in the future because the idea is solid but could be improved.

TPP changed alot from this first leaked image, so this "mascot" could definately be tweaked in the future although I love it personally. We are in the early stages of the new Kojima Productions, we shall see ！

Also remember how different MGS 4 looked when it was revealed???

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say TONS.

 

[Souldestroyer Reborn]

Looks badass.

 

[Respawn]

"The extra vehicular activity creative suit"

*FACEPALM*

EVACS - you guys complain about the same thing all the time. It's a damn pic of an awesome game to come.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

That's cool. Came out totally different than every piece of fan art I saw tweeted with a possible body. I dig what it is too.

 

[DigitalScrap]

It definitely doesn't move me, but it isn't bad, just maybe a little generic (especially after the head was revealed in the logo art - I guess I wasn't expecting it to just be a skull head dude in a puffy suit).

Definitely looking forward to whatever Kojima is cooking up though!

 

[Kyzer]

Looks like a new boss for metal gear. Raidens rival or something

 

[Sub_Level]

I really like the design.

 

[magnetic]

Man, people can't shut up about Dark Souls. It's just a medieval-style helmet.

(I like it, but I have a soft spot for slightly clumsy sci-fi designs, has a certain 60s/70s vibe to me)

 

[Night_Knight]

.

 

[OfTheOverflow]

lol gotta love kojima and the crazy shit he comes up with. A fucking skeleton inside a space suit?

LaserLife would like a word with you.

 

[NastyBook]

I like it.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Looks cool to me. Wonder if the splash screen will be awesomely animated

Good point. I'll be hoping for some tweaks, though we don't really know if this is actually anything other than a mascot of sorts for the developer, right? I doubt this is the design of a main character if it is supposed to be a character from the game. The skull in particular makes it seem like it can't be the main character, because the skull + helmet design seems too iconic for whatever or whoever this character is for it to be a main character.

Mostly because I doubt the MC in whatever Kojima makes next will be stuck to just using one outfit, and I just don't really see skull guy wandering around without the helmet looking right. Unless of course as some have speculated that the skull is a mask or the helmet of a suit within the astronaut suit, and the skull isn't the actual face of the character. The it could be whoever.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say TONS.

It's important to note here that EVA (Extravehicular Activity) is an actual terminology used to define a certain kind of space suit, so it isn't necessarily a reference to EVA the character.

I do expect a fair amount of nods, but I doubt it'll be filled with references, because I think Kojima has wanted to move on from that world for a while and he finally is able (and has been forced) to. I think the most references we'll see will be about on par with Snatcher or Policenauts as a max.

EVACS - you guys complain about the same thing all the time. It's a damn pic of an awesome game to come.

Are we sure that it wasn't a typo or mistake to call it the "Extravehicular Activity Creative Suit"? The patch on the suit reads "Extravehicular Creative Activity Suit", and that just sounds a lot better in my opinion.

 

[mysticllama]

I just noticed LUDENCE has a COM System.

 

[mysticllama]

Yes EVA is an acronym for Extra Vehicular Activity suit as it refers to an astronauts suit but we are dealing with Kojima-San here and we all know how that goes... fan service, and it's always been his last Metal Gear since 2 so I think we will be seeing alot of throwbacks to the series and his other series aswell. That's just my opinion though

 

[Kazuhira]

Looks pretty awesome,you can totally tell it was designed by shinkawa.
Was that model made with their engine?

Spoiler

SCI-FI SOULS!! sorry sorry

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

 

[Bobs Big Boy]

It seems overdesigned.

 

[mysticllama]

Also Ludens is male, The concept art of the other character is someone else, Also something I noticed her ear kinda looked like an elf's but then again it was a christmas post...

 

[mysticllama]

Nothing spectacular but the picture reminded me of the apollo 11 mission with the flag being planted.

 

[Spiritwalker]

Tbh the logo was a lot cooler before it had an associated character. :/

agreed lol

 

[Raist]

The question is... Who is this???

Eva

 

[Aters]

An icon character for a studio haven't released anything yet? Man they will release something huge.

 

[HeelPower]

lol Kojima is so awesome.

I feel like he's pretty much the only dev that would create an entire story and design to a simple logo.

Looks like the spirit of MGS will live on.

 

[mysticllama]

Looks like the spirit of MGS will live on.

I agree 100%

 

[vpance]

Kojima unleashing his full auteurness. There's must be something more to this than just a logo.

 

[DrZeus]

It's sci fi so I'm in.

 

[Ricky_R]

I can't help being intrigued by it. Looks weird and mysterious.

I definitely want to know more.

 

[Boke1879]

I think Kojima also mentioned something about selling the figure as merch. I'll definitely buy it.

 

[Shadowheart]

*wipes tears* That got me good.

 

[Apoleptica]

I thought there was supposed to be a body hidden in the logo, not a blatantly obvious, clearly visible skeleton head inside a helmet.

 

[LordOcidax]

Ehhh....

 

[SolarPowered]

Looks dope af

 

[elohel]

Lol soothing

 

[Rastafarian42]

Love the design

 

[funkystudent]

Hey. Who turned out the lights?

 

[Undead Fantasy]

How awesome would it be if it's implied the skeleton is Snake and the suit resurrected him?

 

[Valkerionseven]

Zone of the Enders x NASA

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

Surprisingly simple suit for how orante the helmet is.

Though I like the EVA naming of it. I look forward to a similar Support Normalization Activity Kinetic Equipment suit.

 

[DeathPeak]

I like it! If this will deal with sci-fi/space, then I'm so in. I mean, I was in anyway.

 

[Darryl M R]

This looks nice. What is the expected release year people are thinking? 2019?

Since they are with Sony do you think this will be a PS4 exclusive?

 

[The Silver]

congratulations. congratulations. congratulations.

 

[mysticllama]

Zone of the Enders x NASA

 

[oneofthose]

lol kojima can put any crap and people will eat up.

 

[raven777]

I like it. Kinda reminds me of the battle dress from MGSV.

 

[El_Chino]

I dig it.
