Seriously IGN, why you are not more careful with such important and revealing things like this?? Someone at IGN must be having a really bad day for uploading it this early. But still, #HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Verendus · Mar 3, 2015

So this is a Q3 release? That's far.

Edit:

No, it is Q2. I'm just an idiot.

SliceSabre · Mar 3, 2015

Nice! I've still got time to get the HD collection and actually put time into learning about the series before I pick this up.

Stone Ocean · Mar 3, 2015

As long as it doesn't get delayed I'll take it!

Ran rp · Mar 3, 2015

eh. Dithering's still there. I think I'm okay with the September release. I have plenty of other games to play before then.

Turkoop · Mar 3, 2015

perfect month for Konami, no big competitors, june would be bad because Batman & Witcher

Pacote-san · Mar 3, 2015

Well, ground zeroes is on PC already so the Engine has been ported (what i expect to be the hardest part of the process)

I cant see why they wouldnt release the same day (or perhaps month at the most) on all platforms

ShadowSoldier89 · Mar 3, 2015

I hope that means the PC version releases that day too.

Solidus187 · Mar 3, 2015

Sucks that it's so much later than I expected, but the week before Labor Day weekend? Nice!

No, if they wanted no good competitors they should have done July or August. You can bet your ass there will be plenty of competition in September and onward as there is every year.

Kojima:

"I always say this will be my last Metal Gear, but the games in the series that I've personally produced - Metal on MSX, Metal Gear 2, Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, 3, 4 and Peace Walker - and now Metal Gear Solid 5 constitute a single Metal Gear saga," Kojima says.

"With Metal Gear Solid 5 I'm finally closing the loop on that saga. In that sense, this will be the final Metal Gear Solid. To me, this is the last Metal Gear."

In other words, see you in MGS 6, Kojima.

viveks86 · Mar 3, 2015

I'm glad it's not June. June was turning into open world overload!

TheStruggler · Mar 3, 2015

any other link to video cant get to it

Cachuli · Mar 3, 2015

i really hope no delay for pc

foxtrot3d · Mar 3, 2015

Welp, I'd prefer June but oh well we're getting it this year and that's all that matters.

He also says that for him this really is the final Metal Gear, even if there are more after this. It'll close the loop in the story (MG-MG2 and MGS-V).

Well i got every single Metal Gear. Time for me to replay them chronologically.
MGS3: Snake Eater; Portable Ops; Peace Walker; Ground Zero; MGS1; MGS2: Sons Of Liberty; MGS4: Guns of the Patriots.

I think that's all...unless i'm missing something.

Ugh. I am beyond disappointed. Literally the worst possible time this could have released for me.

If it bothers you that much, just play Easy, and breeze through the Story Missions only. A mission structure didn't stop PW from having a coherent linear story arc.

Let me be super clear: I hate Peace Walker.

brickarts295 · Mar 3, 2015

Of course it's going to release when term just starts "sigh". It's gonna be GTA V all over again for me XD.

MG1 and MG2 if you want to be thorough. If you have MGS3 Subsistence they are on the disc as extras!

If GZ didn't clue you in that TPP was going to be a console version of PW, I don't know what to tell you, man.

The moment MB and Fultons was confirmed to be back in TPP, you didn't need Kojima to open his mouth for you to expect "oh, it's going to be silo-ed missions again."

Isn't that Q3? Q2 being April, May, June?

ChasingComets · Mar 3, 2015

You'd think with all the leaks we've had, people knew how to guard these secrets better. Guess not.

And WOOHOO RELEASE DATE CONFIRMED. Bit later than I expected (July/Aug) but fucking finally.

No, fiscal year differs by company. Japanese companies usually start FYQ1 in April.

actually it did

Kojima decided to hide the ending with you grinding missions

I know, the second the fulton stuff was confirmed to return I became pretty apprehensive about this game. I was hoping it wouldn't, but there it is. I liked the no-bullshit "purity" of Ground Zeroes, when it I played I was hoping it would be an accurate representation of MGSV. But it ain't. We'll have to wait and see how all this PW business is handled in the game. We haven't really seen what micromanaging motherbase is going to be like, besides being able to walk around your base.

Konami's fiscal year is like Sony, it begins April. Q2 on our release schedule is July, August, and September.

It'll be alright as long as you're playing on a TV smaller than 27"

farisr · Mar 3, 2015

I hope there is a "preferred order" type thing in the game for missions so the story can flow smoothly. (like the game suggests you take a certain mission next, but you still have a choice to go for side missions) I really don't like disjointed stories.

Really the initial console versions were ports from PC as Fox Engine was designed on the platform.

KarasuEXE · Mar 3, 2015

Hope it releases on PC in the same day.

SJRB · Mar 3, 2015

Really, REALLY glad we finally got a date, but I'm thoroughly disappointed at how long it's still going to be before it's out.

valkyre · Mar 3, 2015

Well i am a bit dissappointed ... I was hyped for an earlier release...

Nvm ifit needs the development time to provide the best experience i will endure it!

One thing is for sure.

nobody got it right...

Later than I expected. I figured it'd been June or July but guess not. I'm assuming Uncharted 4 will be in November.
