What intrigues me most is everything going on in the picture, Metal Gear included
I just noticed Skullface has an eyepatch in that scene.
wut
All right, time to watch all the story trailers, teases and gameplay videos again today.

it's a mask (think lone ranger), not an eyepatch. it's been seen in other pics/trailers

You can see his freaky front face without it if you use the mod.
What is interesting is that Skull Face doesn't wear the mask in ground Zeroes.
You can see it here:
But not here:
I think he only starts wearing it after those 9 years have passed. Which means the scene from the E3 2013 trailer (with the subtext) is from a point further into the story. Maybe when he meets Big Boss again? He does tell his soldiers to point their guns down.
You can kinda see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-c1a5c55-8&t=6m52s
Just before it cuts off, two of his front soldiers will put the gun down. I think he meets BB in that scene.

what's even more interesting/strange is that he has lesions or scars around he right eye and forehead (in the same area as the shrapnel) like we know VS will in TPP.
skullface is a time-traveling medic confirmed
I hate how we can't see that part of his face post-GZ, like in the trailer I linked.
Of course, maybe it's done on purpose with crazy Kojima :> When he's together with BB in the E3 2014 trailer, we don't see his face either :>

hmmmm...is BB the red ogre? motherbase and msf was his initial "party" instead of being embraced by the world, motherbase was destroyed. I assumed earlier that he will be in good-standing with the US at the end of the game so he could start foxhound. is skullface the blue ogre?

Hoping they announce a MGSV PS4 so I can finally stop waiting and buy one.
Just get the CE. Shinkawa for sure
I'm definitely getting the CE. It'll be my first CE and I'm expecting the robot arm to come with it.

i don't particularly care for the newer mgs box art, but the best one is not a shinkawa...

Looks like some in the back.
Going back to the horn discussion. The horn doesn't look like schrapnel. It looks different. The more I look at it, the more it looks like some crazy ass tech inside his head. Like a black crystal idk it looks strange. Definitely doesn't look like schrapnel imo.
Combined with this:
And the bandages once he escapes...
Naw, every day I get the feeling that horn has been surgically implanted. People said the lack of schrapnel in the GDC trailer was because it's a work in progress... but this is Kojima. He's a perfectionist. Seems to me like there was a reason he'd show that particular scene. Could be wrong tho.

I would love the robot arm in the CE. It's definitely better than some of those figurines they have been showing.
I'll get it digital, and the CE. It's gonna be epic when it happens.

When people say shrapnel are they saying that is a tiny piece of what was in Paz? Or are they saying there was a third bomb?
what else could it be? i think in most games they always described BB as someone who was turned to worse by his actions and view. I would hope that Kojima stay true to this. Anything else would not really make much sense.

there are ways to rationalize BBs actions and make him a more sympathetic villain without resorting to the age-old mind-control shit
wat
we're talking about the horn. could be a piece of the helicopter
Someone had a theory that the horn was implanted there and causes him to be evil or something like that. I don't necessarily buy it but just thinking the possibility that happening is chilling.
GreyOcelot
Member
hahaha, it's a trailer, certainly things could be changed. wouldn't make it a retcon
I can see the horn being implanted as a possibility, but that doesn't have to mean the horn makes him evil.
At the same time, you have to wonder why Kojima is adding a horn. Seems like an important part of the story. Don't think he did it just because it's a better way to show BB's demon transformation.

I want a horn that i can strap onto my head in the ce.
na... he has said plenty of times its an aesthetic choice. Making him look more like a devil. Like with the hanging strap that is supposed to be his tail. It would be really weak if this was the cause. We have seen BB hang to dry, betrayed and used. now everything he has built was wiped out. No indication he would be righteous at this point. BB is evil because of his actions and reactions. No other way around it.
All right. While I agree with your post and I'd like to believe the aesthetic argument... that still doesn't explain how he got it. And yes, for the moment I'll keep believing they implanted it. There's a few arguments that support this. The trailer is the biggest example, but BB wearing bandages after 9yrs in coma is something too ;p
Well, they really have not explained how he got it. I do believe Kojima said that the chopper crash was not the reason for the coma. Correct me if i am wrong here tho. He said that it was something else that will be revealed in the prologue to TPP. I do believe we will see maybe how he ended there in flashbacks? maybe as you play through the hospital?
I also think he said the shard is made out of some particular element, and there was no indication that it was on board of the chopper.

kojima never said that. everything shown implies the helicopter crash --> hospital scene --> coma
Yes, I have the same theory about the horn being some kind of strange element. It really does look... strange?
It's a crystal made by the patriots infused with the AI of The Boss.

he said part of it was bone, not sure if that's there to explain why it gets bigger or what

Well... i was just reading about damage to the brain and what it can cause, and i guess it might be plausible his behavior is emphasized by this.

I guess this makes him lack the choice and make it feel like its inevitable because its an outside factor. That would be really lame.
Goddamnit, what if it's just a cutaneous horn? XD
It looks similar, but still different in most pics.

that's close enough to be what we see with BB, why not? was it ever stated that it was shrapnel or did we all just dream that up?

shrapnel would. bone would. not soft tissue like a cutaneous horn. but that doesn't exactly look like a super-realistic radiograph
