The Phantom Pain screenshots (and eventual trailer I guess)

Wait, this is actually MGS related? This isn't a new IP? Can somebody explain it?

Nobody knows but the trailer seems to be full of mgs 3 characters, so it's either the same universe or that's all jokey easter eggs. Some people think it's Ground Zeroes, but I think they're crazy.
We've never seen Snake look that skinny so I think that's a headswap, but I guess he has been in a coma.

This is the most Kojima thing Kojima has ever done.

Finally, the true story behind what happened to Liquid's arm. Kidding, but that is definately Metal Gear-related. Very Blue Harvest. I'm debating whether thinking that was cool or just dumb that will never actually exist in Ground Zeroes.

wow...really? gamers have truly become jaded these days :/

graphically it look like crap imho.

but the change in reactions when people saw it for first time/before people connect it to metal gear and after that are pretty funny and tell a a lot.

dude it doesnt look next-gen at fucking all, not one single bit. It absolutely looks like a game that could have come out last week and actually kind of a bad one at that

have you played games on PC?

What's weird is -- everything announced at the VGAs has been confirmed for current consoles, except this. So this should be a next-gen game if you take Spike at their word that we would get a look at a next-gen game. And yet, this didn't look good at all, nothing 'next-gen' about it. So were no next-gen games shown? Or is this just a lame next-gen reveal?

Moby Dick's studios fake page says PS3/360

Hmm. So it's possible that no next-gen games got shown, that would make sense. I was hoping (and expecting) that Dark Souls 2 was the big next-gen reveal, but they have confirmed 360/PS3 also. So it looks like nothing on the next-gen front.

Yet if Kojima is trolling everyone about everything else about this reveal, why would we expect the announced consoles on the fake dev team page to be accurate?

idk, but there's no way the footage shown was representing next gen hardware. It looked bad.

look at this geometry:

some people are speculating even bullshot-y Vita game and id actually be more inclined to believe that.

The jaggies on the clothes/arms/sheets looked rough, among other flaws. A lot of current games definetly look better. I buy that it's a current-gen game.

"not next gen" "looked totally current gen"

I don't know what games you've been playing or what pipes you've been smoking from, but that clothing, hair, animation, among other things, cannot be rendered on xbox/ps3 the way in which it was rendered in that trailer.

Maybe a high end PC could, but there's no way the graphic fidelity can be the same as it was in that trailer for xbox/ps3.

That trailer looked fantastic.

And Conker's Bad Fur Day shouldn't have been possible on the N64. Towards the end of a console cycle, devs can figure out quite a lot, and pull off what shouldn't be possible on it. This is not next gen.

I have no arguments more than "we agree to disagree", that shit looked this-gen as hell. Maybe touched up on the aliasing and such as with any reveal trailer, but nothing about it was next-gen quality. Not one thing.
 
The game looked kind of really bad at times, so much aliasing and shit everywhere with simple geometry and not very high res textures, but still very much doubt that is vita.

You're crazy, the game didn't look that good at all.
 
Apparently I slept through this shit... It has the vita resolution and looks a lot like a vita game. A good looking one at least.
 

Lord Error

Insane For Sony
960x540. Just sayin'....

It looked fantastic. I'd have a really, and I mean REALLY hard time believing this was Vita footage. But why the hell would they release screens in that resolution?

Alternate universe mgs game where snake is a mental patient and he has delusions that he is a bad ass one man army. The twist is, everything he fantasises is what we've played.

Survival horror game as the characters from his fantasies manifest themself and you have to escape the asylum.

Kojima and cliffy b co develop.......
 
People saying those images look next-gen are high as fuck. This is a either a PS3 game or a Vita one. My bet is on Vita. Never doubt what KojiPro can achieve.

So some of you are really going to pursue the Vita angle? Oh boy...

Just get home safe.
 
Was that a .... flying fire-breathing whale at the end? What?
This must me some weird viral marketing for Ground Zeroes, it looks way too rough for something Kojima would put his name behind.

The Most Dangerous Yes Man
I thought this was going to be Vagrant Story related.


Was that some butt crack?

Definitely Fox Engine. I don't think it's an MGS game, just some kind of demo.
