what buzzwords? Marketing trailer? wtf?
He means things like "Dynamic CQC" and "A New Breed of Stealth" and "Tactical Espionage Redefined" and "Unparallelled Strategic Freedom".
I can understand the complaints, but I don't really care how the game is marketed when the game looks as good as it does.
wow people must find something to complain about..

I hated MSG4, so I am only cautiously optimistic about 5. I hope Kojima can reign himself in this time around.
I loved MGS4 but MGSV already toppled it easily..

Dat music.
It looks passable for next-gen.
Maybe not the next-gen that you're expecting, but one that is achievable for Konami and this level of open-world gameplay.
You're focusing on minutiae instead of the bigger picture of what these graphics have to achieve.

Same if not for the Hayter thing(Loved MGS4, despite probably being my least favorite of the series)
Still, I don't ever think I will have a hype boost/freak out like

So this trailer only has additional starting and ending footage, everything else in the middle is from the conference right?
Also that guy in a beret with Diamond Dogs logo on it, he looks like Campbell doesn't he?
And Sutherland isn't sitting well with me as VA. His voice sounds too cinematically generic/cliched.
I'm all in for seeing the legend of Shalshaska in the making. Ocelot returns !

yes he might be.
This trailer is brutally beautiful, to the point where it's practically overkill. Good god, that song with that imagery...it's just unrelentingly intense.
I do have to say though, this game looks insanely depressing. The atrocities and torture depicted, I know it's true to life, but it just seems like too much for entertainment or even art.
And I realize there are people who hold unpleasant fare like Salo in high regard, but I personally think that the best art has a sense of humor. Kubrick, for example, made some films about very unpleasant subjects, but even those films had an undercurrent of dark humor and satire.
And besides, this is freaking MGS. MGS has always had serious themes, but the campy humor and laughable writing have also been series staples. I can do without the bad writing, but I will miss the soda-drinking monkeys and scientist pant-wetting.
To go from MGS4's hilariously bad fan-fiction story to this... I don't know. On one hand, it would be astounding if Kojima pulled it off, and would instantly elevate his writing cred. On the other hand, would the game be more fun if he failed miserably and the story ended up being pulpy nonsense?
Anyway, I just had to get that off my chest. I have never been so emotional over a trailer. Just brutal.

You haven't even played it yet.
This looks amazing so far. I'm still disappointed about there being no Hayter (as far as we know). Ever since my first encounter with the series in '98... I mean, I simply can't believe Kojima would just kick him to the side and keep the Japanese voice actor. Complete bull.
there is a small part at the end that is not in the conference trailer. And yes that man might be Campbell.

Good lord, I certainly don't miss arguing with people like you about this.
I played Peace Walker and I loved it a lot. MGSV is following onto its footsteps and looks fricking awesome..MGS4 is linear and didn't offer as many options as PW or V but still amazing.

Have they detailed in what ways the current gen versions will be limited? Is it just model quality and resolution?

This looks so good, i had chills watching it during the xbox conference
I have never play any MGS title apart from a demo of the first one many years ago on the ps1 haha, should i be able to just jump right into this seeing as i have not played any of the previous MGS titles?

That implies what he said was fact. Enough of that.

No news as far as I'm aware. I genuinely surprised there has been nothing shown. I'd thought that at least after the Next-Gen reveal, we'd see footage from the Konami booth at least showing something.

I've never gotten around to MGS much, but I liked what I saw in this trailer. I'll keep an eye on this one.

Nearly 99% of the story will go over your head...
The thrill and the knowledge of knowing the whole plot and the past of characters with playing all the older parts just adds up to more hype for MGS fans with this new title, because they want to know the upcoming of Big Boss and Outer Heaven...
You didn't get any of that did you?

Both MGS3 and MGS4 are similar in terms of being linear. MGS and MGS2 were a bit more free in that you could explore Shadow Moses and the Big Shell as you please. Peace Walker was great, but I didn't care for the way the boss battles (like with heli's, tanks, LAV's, etc) were handled. Same with the AI Metal Gears. Those were just too goofy. PW did well to show us how Outer Heaven was established. MGS5 looks to show us how Big Boss went from being a hero to a villain.
Also, there's no way that kid could function with a package that big being inside of his torso lol.

it's been so interesting to see how Solid Snake and Big Boss, despite both being betrayed by their government, reacted in such totally different ways. It's true that they're men of different eras, but I'd love someone to explore in an article why Solid Snake didn't make the same decisions Big Boss did.
Perhaps it was merely the company they kept.

This will be the best game ever made
I think what we have seen so far was current gen..

Indeed. Big Boss' reaction to it all was mostly due to the most influential person in his life; The Boss and all that happened to them in MGS3.
It's Kaz (confirmed by Kojima, and you can see he's missing his right arm).
They don't want to say anything about that for now.
most likely at TGS we will find out the release date and the distribution method for the games.

It's tough to say in MG1 whether Big Boss had an impact on Snake's life, as the narrative wasn't as sophisticated, but it's interesting to note that Snake's revelation is the opposite from Big Boss'.
MG1: Snake finds that his mentor, a person he trusted throughout the game, had betrayed him and everyone else. Big Boss turns out to be an evil figure.
MGS3: Big Boss finds that his mentor, who he believed had betrayed her country, was in fact loyal to the end, but was actually sacrificed by the government for political reasons. The Boss turns out to be a sacrificial figure.
Perhaps that's where their paths begin diverging.

MGS is all about the story. If you jump into it without fully understanding the whole story arch, you'll be extremely confused. I've been a hardcore fan of the series since '98 and even still I need to refresh myself on some areas of the story.
Fair enough.

Kojima's troll face at the end of that Game Trailers interview cracked me up.
Quoting you here is easier than going back pages, but FWIW, Phantom Pain is the only MGS V related game listed on Konami's store. So I agree with you that GZ + TPP = MGSV on one disc.
