A significant amount of wtf factor but I'm certainly intrigued, especially with all the little clues people have picked up.

I thought this was confirmed viral marketing for MGS5? There's a pretty lengthy demo of the new MGS posted in another thread.

I don't think Ground Zeros is actually MGS5 though.

So it seems this and Ground Zeroes are one and the same after all.

Ground Zeroes is one story, Phantom Pain is another if I'm not mistaken. Both will be part of MGS5.

jesus what has been with the last few MGS games? anyone remember the quality of the writing in the first one? that part with the sniper? the insane batshittery of the second one? now it's like they've given over all the writing and game-design to macbeth, after a few tabs of acid.

They have gotten a lot weirder... but I enjoyed MGS4. Haven't played Peace Walker yet, I'm probably gonna get the HD collection soon so I can play that and MGS3.

that footage of snake riding on horseback through a burning forest with an old shotgun makes about as much sense as the crossbows in modern warfare. it is "a lot weirder", yeah. seemingly random. like they're just picking from the varied chocolate confectionery box of plot choice.

4 was the first one I played. Needless to say, shit like this was absolutely bizarre to me:

he's an old character. on the original playstation i remember you had to change your controller slot or something otherwise he'd hijack your controls. or some gimmick like that. well, it wasn't a gimmick then, it was awesome.

Wait a second

David Hayter, who has provided the English-language voice for Solid Snake (and later Big Boss) since 1998's release of Metal Gear Solid, has stated he will not be reprising his role for Metal Gear Solid V.

It won't be the same without Hayter.

My friends were talking about this today.

I heard they were two different games, and the guy's in pain doing the voice.

Should change the title. Otherwise I would have never known.

What is this, I don't even.

Why are there demons and fiery winged unicorns in a MGS game. Do not want.

As far as I know, part of the game is spent in a coma/drug-induced state.

You guys are overreacting. Metal gear solid has always been weird. Cyborg ninjas, bisexual vampires, floating mind readers etc. The trailer has me pumped.

MGS2 was one of the weaker ones.

MGS > MGS3 > MGS2

While it would be largely pointless, I'd still love to see MGS remade again (without the Matrix cutscenes of Twin Snakes) with the new engine. MGS is still the best of the series.

MGS > MGS3 > MGS2

i didn't mind MGS2. it felt cohesive, at least. plus it had more of a zeitgeist phenomenon about it. back then it was one of the main defining games of the platform, and everyone was solely focused on it. thesedays, though it may just be me, MGS sequels feel like background noise.
