Isn't it a little soon for him to have all white hair? He was younger than Big Boss. I mean I see the likeness, down to the coat, but this is Kojima we're talking about.

Ocelot should be about 40+ at the time after coma so him having grey hair is not expected

No.

Most games are developed and ported from PCs down to consoles.

I believe Konami's push towards Steam and the level of visual fidelity would point towards a PC release, or at the very least Cross-Gen. The release date and visual fidelity would mean that cross-gen is pretty much confirmed.

All that is confirmed right now is Phantom Pain + Ground Zeroes is MGSV, and the game is coming to 360/PS3.

I know the first part, was just asking because I came to the stream late and wasn't sure if they mentioned it. :(
 
I'm not sure but it looked like people were holding onto the body still when they yelled clear. Do these people want to get shocked?!
Hard to tell. Seems like one nurse may be stabilizing his head or maybe actively intubating him but may have let go after the camera cuts away to the actual difibrillation. One of the better mock-codes I've seen before in media. Though the nurse running away when he wakes up after the coma is silly (at the same time if a 9-year coma patient woke up I'd be pretty surprised too...)

EDIT: Assuming they are actively intubating and that's why I don't see an ambu bag...
 
Sigh. There are two characters in the scene, Ishmael (bandages) and Big Boss (initially first person view, then changing perspective to third person after a while). They're having a conversation. I'm referring to Big Boss's lines here. Both characters in the scene are clearly voiced by Kiefer with different intonations. "What happened to the woman" is Big Boss speaking, not Ishmael. Easy to get confused since they're being voiced by the same person ;b

Ok, I thought I was going crazy for a second. Is it possible this is a Fight Club situation? Where Ishmael is only a figment of Big Boss's imagination? Multiple personalities if you will?
 
As someone who has never played a MGS game but has been at least following The Phantom Pain stuff I am can say I am very confused. I don't really know who any of these people are or what is going on. I wonder that if I were to play it would anything make sense to me or would it all be too deep into the franchise to start. I imagine it could be something similar to starting with Mass Effect 3 and then feeling confused at all of the back references.

So that settles it, Ground Zeroes and Phantom pain are indeed the same game, correct?
I've been saying that from the start.

About the horn;
'Snake' goes into a mission, gets badly injured and goes into a comma. Wakes up 9 years later with the shrapnel in his head that can't be removed without killing him, so they leave it in. He also have slightly longer and more grey hair now.
That's the obvious answer, anyway.

Wait a second!

At the beginning of the trailer Miller (presumably) says "What about him?". The shaky camera tells that we are looking from a certain person's perspective, yet it is not Snake nor Miller.

So the question is?

Are there three persons in the operation room? Who is this third person?

Definitely 3 people.
 
Big Boss was born in 1935, so if this game takes place around 1984/85 then he would be about 50 years old give or take a few years.

He looks about 50 years old here IMO.

it's amazing he hasn't had any gray hair yet considering all the stressful situation he's been. lol

Yep. You will definitely need to play at the very least MGS3, PW and MGS4 to understand few things that are going on. The MGS saga is dauntingly huge.

Hayter better not make a fool of himself with this voice change.

Kojima jumps all over the time line so will see Solid Snake again at some point.

It looks like parts of trailer could have been running on PS3 (the spoken part where the doctor tells him he's been under for 9 years given the aliasing).

I am certain other parts weren't judging from the alpha effects. Anyone who has played inFAMOUS 1,2 and GT5 knows what I am on about. In the scene where Snake is about to shoot his chaser on the flaming horse, the lack of aliasing is proof.

It does sound like him. One reason could be that they are same person (hallucinatory alter ego).

However at the end of cinematic GDC trailer, I wonder if it's Snake who says, "Diamond Docks, our new home". Because if it is, that's not Keifer.

I was wondering the same thing.

If that's Ocelot I don't understand why he looks so old. If the game takes place in 1983 then he should not even be in his 40's. He was 19 in MGS3 as far as I remember, and that took place in 1964.

BANANAMACHINES

Well 20 years would make him late 40's, looks pretty spot on to me.

I'm kind of glad they ditched Hayter, his Snake performance was starting to become a parody of itself.

The new voice will also help separate Big Boss from Solid Snake.

I really hope this game leads into Metal Gear 1.

I think there are hints in the Ground Zeroes trailer which might provide answers to who the third person in the operating room is, and what might be going on in MGS5.

- The XOF guy left Chico to be rescued by Big Boss, after he presumably provided information to them.

- Before he takes off after destroying all the evidence of XOF being there, he says "The Trojan Horse is in."

Who's the Trojan Horse? Chico? Something hidden inside Chico? Is this a trap that resulted in the destruction of Mother Base, or is the trap something larger? Maybe they planted someone close to Big Boss when all the shit goes down, and this entire charade is tied to that.

This is the Japanese trailer on Konami's channel. The most important detail I feel is that the trailer actually has a lyric translation for the Garbage song throughout the trailer, in Japanese, on the side. This clearly indicates that for this trailer in particular, the song was picked very deliberately by Kojima for the lyrics to go with the visuals. It works really well imo.

Also, I dunno if it has been mentioned (thread's huge), but the opening scene in the trailer with Big Boss going into a coma... is actually a first person scene from another character. Miller even addresses it at the end with "what about him?" Could the entire thing be a diversion? Are we not actually playing Big Boss?

So that other guy was Miller? Sounded like Keifer again.
