Can someone explain this to me? I just read this on EG, and they were saying that the "spaces between the letters, and the awkward lines spell on MGS5." But hasn't someone just superimposed the lettering on the image?
I don't understand.
Yes...."incredibly small"
Incredibly small......
That's my fallback theory. For all the power and craziness Kojima wields, I just can't see the whole of KojiPro working on two big Metal Gear games at once. Unless KojiPro LA is bigger than I think.
Perhaps he was referring to the FOX engine, rather than the game content.
I didn't see this in the past 4 or so pages... I know some of this was mentioned before by a few posters, and they are very close, but spoilers...
Chronologically, Phantom Pain comes after Metal Gear.
Big Boss fights Solid Snake in Metal Gear. Self destruct sequence that Big Boss gets caught in obviously doesn't kill him. At the end he promises to see Solid again.
Anyway... Dr. Marv (NOT Madnar.. look at Marv from Metal Gear games, specifically 2, and compare him to the one from the trailer... perfect match) reconstructs (not resurrects... Big Boss was alive...) with the state of the art prosthetic limbs... Phantom Pains anyone?
So... It has to be after MG 1 because explosion, before MG 2 because Marv gets killed.

Sorry if this is already mentioned.
It's definitely not after MG1, come on guys. Unless the character shown will be replaced by the real character model in the real-game (older Big Boss).
Ground Zeroes is mid-to-late 70's. It seems like it happens right after Peace Walker just due to Chico's age.Will the world ever let Kojima do something new?
I wonder if at the end of this game he just shatters the fourth wall, he just murders the entire cast, past and present, on screen and asks "DID YOU LIKE IT" and just walks out like a boss.
The Real Big Boss.
Ok so in terms of chronology... I guess this and Ground Zeroes (whether they are one and the same or not) are what, early 90s? Late 80s? That era?
Edit: Unless... this in the future, and it's a fourth clone, in some military test facility dumping ground, and he's been programmed, with the memories of Big Boss and they bleed through into his reality in the form of these horrific visions (the horse, the dragon thing, the flaming man).
Do it, Kojima. You know you want to. Let's get crazy again!
Wait, so Big Boss isn't a grey haired old man in Ground Zeroes? I thought for sure this guy couldn't be him because of the different hair color, but if it's just due to "rim lighting" then that would make at least a little more sense.
Yeah... I believe that's why Kojima tweeted that second image. To make that point.
Those lens flares are def Fox engine
Is he missing his left hand in MGS4?
Kinda funny that even after patching up Big Boss with the remains of Solidus and Liquid in MGS4, they choose not to give his eye back.
His entire body was regenerated with nanomachines and black magic in MGS4, so it wouldn't matter either way. But no, he didn't have an arm missing in MGS4.
I wonder whose junk he hadActually he was rebuild using spare parts from Solidus and Liquid.

The only thing that bothers me about Kojima is how blatantly he rips off classic movies.
What?Actually he was rebuild using spare parts from Solidus and Liquid.
Twist: Moby Dick Studios actually exists and is making a supernatural survival horror game called The Phantom Pain, and teamed up with Kojima to simultaneously reveal MGS5 in the craziest crossover collaboration ever seen in gaming. It's a win-win.
Did anyone else notice this?
It's like he's telling himself to wake up but he can't.
I only hope it'll have some small vestiges of interesting gameplay, and Kojima can actually reveal that Big Boss was a T-800 for all I care.
What?
Somehow i disnt know that, but God the more I know about MGS4 the more I cringe
Metal Gear wikia said:Prior to 2014, Big Boss's DNA and biometric data was used for the Patriots' ID recognition system, the use of which allowed access to their AI network (also an earlier version of the Patriots' SOP System). The organization also declassified documents relating to Big Boss's exploits during the 1960s, which contributed to a resurgence in his popularity to the public, with various soldiers beginning to adopt some of his CQC techniques (although not to the extent of how Big Boss used it). In the 2010s, Big Boss's body was recovered from the Patriots by EVA, with the assistance of Raiden. Using the body parts of Liquid and Solidus Snake, EVA had Big Boss's body rebuilt, eventually restoring him to his former appearance, though he remained in comatose state due to the Patriots' nanomachines within him.
My man *brofist*We got the superior The Phantom Pain almost 13 years ago!
Vagrant Story.
In case you guys missed it.
The letters thing is still borderlining a little suss for me, because it's reaching into truly crazy conspiracy territory, shaping evidence to suit a theory rather than looking at evidence objectively. Shapes in clouds, and all that, which is the same shit that dominated all the dumb Half-Life 3 "teases" desperate fans claimed to find in various Steam and Team Fortress 2 art.
But the curvatures are just too much. They fit too well, in sequence of the chosen letters. And so I believe.
In case you guys missed it.
Only thing throwing me is the British flag, Not common in the MGS series.
Yeah,http://mimg.ugo.com/200805/19536/major_zero.jpg
The main villain of the series is British.
Am i the only one to make some sort of connection between phantom 'pain' > phantom limb syndrome > missing arm/hand. it's probably absolutely nothing but it's been in my head all day..
Actually he was rebuild using spare parts from Solidus and Liquid.

Liquid is British too, and The Boss was trained in the SAS, but that's probably not connected.
In the OPI can NOT see mgsv written in the phantom pain logo...can someone do a crappy like ms paint job on it or something to make it more obvious? I also could never see the stupid magic eye images as a kid.
Joakim Mogren? That's a swedish name. Get hyped for fika and mellandagsrea you sons of kärringar!
Only Kojima could manage a main villain that nobody even remembers... thanks MGS4.
Chico and Paz are in Ground Zeroes/MGS5. This game is a direct sequel to Piss Wanker.
I remember him as the cool and endearing James Bond fan from MGS3.
Goddamn you Kojima, goddamn you.
I still don't like the thought of Rising being canon, personally.So, there are theories of Phantom Pain being set between MG1 and MG2, with doctor Kio_Marv rebuilding Big Bossess broken body after his epic fight against Solid Snake...
Chances for that are very slim. Just look at Gouda Jouji's timeline:
Ground zeroes start 0-5 years after Peace Walker and in it BB is older, but not much older. MG1 happened 20 years after Peace Walker, there is no way PP BB is 15-20 years older than BB shown in GZ demo.
IMO, PP has to happen well before MG1.
