Support NeoGAF

[reminder]

I don't get it. People here are saying that Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain are one game (MGS V), but the official press release mentions both games (at least the german press release). I don't know what to believe anymore.

 

[Alienous]

I believe this twitter account is official, if so, the game should be getting a WiiU release as well. If not, disregard this.

The GAF giveth, and the GAF taketh away.

(Twitter isn't a reliable source 100% of the time, especially when there is a declaration that you are fake).

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Don't get too carried away... it's just glass caught in his head.

That aint glass dude.

I think it's plausible that its shrapnel stuck in his head.

 

[Persona86]

Wait that's the other way around from what I was expecting.

 

[Mr. RHC]

Hideo Kojima just verified the Ground Zeroes is a prologue like the Tanker Chapter in MGS2.

I'll admit it, I'm eating a big crow right now, I denied this to the very last.

[DrBo42]

That gameplay video...lens flares are completely out of fucking control. Scale that shit back Kojima, it's really distracting.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Wait, how the bandage man said we can call him?

Ishmael.

Moby Dick stuff.

 

[Setvan2734]

Well, Kojima just said as much.

https://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/317014679820070912

To me there, I see him saying the twitter account is not him specifically. Also probably relating to the whole fake studio thing

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Notice how he calls it MGSV and not MGS5? ;-)

 

[UrbanRats]

Kohima on the nature of the game:
http://www.twitlonger.com/show/ldp1im

So wait, MGSV is divided in two parts, Ground Zeroes (part one/prologue) and The Phantom Pain (part 2/ meat of the game) ?

 

[biosnake20]

Whats the reason for Hayter not voicing snake?

See: MGS2.

Think MGS2, Tanker/Plant.

 

[NYR94]

Wow, Mother Base gets destroyed big time. The first trailer told of inspectors being sent there. Gives MSF good reason to move to another part of the world and become Diamond Dogs.

 

[DieH@rd]

Yeah I'm calling BS on that being PS360

Trailer is most def rendered on PC, but these directfeed shots from Eurogamer definetley look consoleish.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Holy dithering batman

 

[disappeared]

At this point we don't know.

It's either the truth, or a clever ruse.

 

[Nibel]

Screenshots added to the OP

Dem jaggies

 

[UrbanRats]

See: MGS2.

Think MGS2, Tanker/Plant.

Yup, i'm slow, sorry.

I hope the whole game will be open world though, i hope he doesn't pull another MGS2 in that sense, with TPP being not nearly as good as Ground Zeroes.

wouldn't be the first time.

 

[BobTheFork]

This game justifies it's existance just by stopping the 'Peace Walker is MGS5" conversation.

 

[Itchy//Tasty]

Why is the series' numbering now Roman numerals?

 

[SJRB]

Called it, lol.


But seriously, here's a HD version of the logo screen in 1920 x 1080:

edit: yeah, the released screenshots look... pretty bad.

 

[jacksepticeye]

Yikes those shots blown up look hideous :/

 

[RangerBAD]

In the gameplay trailer, where there's a large man walking toward a downed BB and Ishmael in a hall on fire, I notice that he seems to have horns too. Two of them like oni/ogre. I think he's part of the force with kid Psycho Mantis.

The Phantom Pain portion allows Kojima to go his usual batshit insane self without having to justify it.

 

[Always-honest]

Holy Dith!

 

[kadab]

so... holiday 2014?

 

[Hindle]

Kojima seems incapable of making a new IP. I didn't get why he wont.

 

[Grief.exe]

MGS3 really was too.

I haven't played it in a while, but you have the prologue where you are inserted up to the point where you get thrown off the bridge by the Boss

Then the intro plays and you survive the river, then the main game starts.

 

[SkylineRKR]

So the main game has tutorial...

 

[EmCeeGramr]

also it's kind of weird to release bmp screenshots that have a ton of compression and artifacts

the ones i didn't post almost look like video captures they're so lossy

 

[Jawmuncher]

so... holiday 2014?

I'm betting this year.

 

[EviLore]

Whats the reason for Hayter not voicing snake?

Being terrible at voicing Snake, probably? And the budget for this game is likely astronomical, so replacing him with Kiefer Sutherland is a no-brainer.

 

[Screaming Meat]

I'm sure it's meant to be analogous to a horn but I swear that ain't no horn, It's a bit of metal stuck in his noggin'.

 

[OmegaZero]

Where was this posted?

See my edit.
This is the post I was referring to (in a different thread), but it seems there's no evidence to back up his claim. :/

Ah well.

EDIT: Oh, it looks like it is indeed fake. Twitter account links to http://thephantompain.com/ and earlier tweets are a clear indicator that it's a joke.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Kojima seems incapable of making a new IP. I didn't get why he wont.

It's because of Konami.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN

"TPP" stands for "The Phantom Pain". We used it as a project code as we were not able to use "MGS5" outloud.

.

 

[Fezan]

I played all mgs BEside the PSP ones can somebody explain to me whats happening in the trailer?

I get the part that somebody attacked outer heaven ?

 

[neoism]

Kohima on the nature of the game:

so like MGS 2 with the opening and the plant... amazing game confirmed.

 

[Laranja]

Why would there be a tutorial after the playable prologue? Hmm.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Ishmael.

Moby Dick stuff.

Oh. Ishmael huh.

 

[Necron]

That was amazing. Good song too.

I love the running animation.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Why would there be a tutorial after the playable prologue? Hmm.

Because Ground Zeroes is going to be TPP's pilot episode. In other words, it's going to be a downloadable title.

 

[LegendOfGood]

Think MGS2, Tanker/Plant.

If Ground Zeroes is first, then why is there a "tutorial scene" at the start of TPP? This is confusing...

 

[angular graphics]

Why would there be a tutorial after the playable prologue? Hmm.

Different kind of gameplay maybe?

 

[Data West]

I'm so glad Hayter is gone. I've always hated his voice. Always sounded like it was trying too hard to sound badass. Like Blum as Wolverine.

There, I said it. Game looks awesome, hope they do announce a next-gen version.
