Get that on a shirt
Same. Lurking the heck out of this thread. Very fun read.This place is simply incredible. Only thread I'm checking on a daily basis these days. Props gentlemen.
First of all compliments to every GAF detective here, great job!
It would be nice to "reassemble" the trailer in the correct order, I mean the video obviously.
Now if I am not wrong we know:
- the car crash happens as last, since they have the bandage and we can see pills flying
- the elevator kid part is followed by the explosion part (someone already posted this part connecting the two scenes in the correct order)
- the part in which they turn the body and we can see the face in theory is after the explosion but then...something must have happened otherwise how can they take the car/ambulance???
The other parts I still have to place them in time. Any help is well accepted.
This is my first attempt at re-cutting the trailer into chronological order. I used clues from the video to establish continuity, such as "Snake"s progression from crawling to running, the lighting becoming darker implying a power cut, and the building filling with smoke. There are still 3 clips I do not know where to place, which I've put at the end of the video.

I call the characters "Snake" and "Mantis" for shorthand.
I didn't make this clear enough in the video - the very short clip of the woman(?) on fire has the same Union Jack and map on the wall as the room you wake up in.
While uploading I realised that there are in fact two sources of smoke - the soldiers throw smoke grenades into the building.
Working on this really made me think about the factions at play. I never considered the possibilities before, and it made me realise that the "Psycho Mantis" child character may not actually be working with the soldiers. Mantis might actually be a patient in the hospital that the soldiers are trying to kill.
Also, Mantis may not be the source of the explosions, although he would be the source of the hallucinations. It could be the soldiers firing at him and attempting to destroy the whole building.
Someone named DionisisZogaris on Twitter, I think he's a member who doesn't have his account approved, lives in Greece and said that the doctor's accent is spot on for Cyprus. Lots of Cyprus evidence building up and I thought I would pass it on since he took the time to track me down.

I like this.
Yeah, this is really fascinating. Good catch with the petal continuity too, I didn't even notice them in the fire clip.Working on this really made me think about the factions at play.

As for the unidentified clips is there any reason you didn't slot the second one in at 2:03? It seems like it would fit in there (perhaps I'm overlooking something though), and maybe the third one would fit in at 1:10 (flashlights, hallway and audio of the next clip would match up and make sense as snake/the room was discovered as well).
Chapter 2: The Phantom Hero
Snake decides to infiltrate the base using Huey's access card; while sneaking through the forest, he stumbles upon a scantily-clad woman who has escaped the base. The woman, Cécile Cosina Caminades, explains that she was captured for recording Quetzal sounds inside the ruins, not knowing that there was a base inside. When Huey's passcard does not work, Snake finds a guard who found the one Cécile used to escape, allowing him to enter the facility.
Inside, Snake encounters Dr. Strangelove. She explains that she has duplicated The Boss' personality in a massive AI core, called the Mammal Pod. She details that the pod can enable a nuclear retaliation without hesitation, and that The Boss' decision-making skills are most suited for the task of planning the attack. Snake enters the Mammal Pod and talks with the AI, which turns out to be the voice in Gálvez's tape. Shocked at the misuse of Big Boss' legacy, Snake attempts to take out the main parts of it. Inside the pod, Snake passes out and wakes up in a large courtyard, where he sees a helicopter carrying the Mammal Pod away. A flying AI, named the Chrysalis, is sent to deal with Snake, but is defeated. Kaz informs Snake about Peace Walker's testing location an underground base disguised as a strip mine.

Random speculation:
The Ground Zeroes trailer features a disfigured man who seems to lead a group that can change and disguise their equipment (like removing the logo from the helicopter) quickly and easily. What if we're looking at the true face of Decoy Octopus? And now we've also got the theories running wild about Mantis being a part of the Phantom Pain trailer...
It's been speculated that Phantom Pain and Ground Zeroes are separate parts of the same game, so could we be looking at a story that revolves around the various FOXHOUND team members? Let’s take it a step further…
Remember the intro to MGS4? With the different television channels and ads for the various PMCs? What if MGSV is similar, and it’s actually a collection of five smaller games, each one telling the story of a member of FOXHOUND (with the exception of Revolver Ocelot) and playing in a different style? Ground Zeroes is the open world Metal Gear game, Phantom Pain as a sort of military horror game (something like F.E.A.R. but in the MGS style), and so on.
It’s MGSV, not MGS5. That is to say… maybe it’s not the fifth game in the Metal Gear Solid series, but a game about five stories all related to Metal Gear Solid?
...I really want that game that exists in my head now.
I thought it was set after peace walker, they captured chico and paz as hostages in the ground zeroes trailer didn't they?
I havent been keeping up with this thread but has anyone mentioned that Morgen contains Ogre which was the other Kojima studios project?
Guys. Guys!
We still don't know what role Ocelot has in this game. I'm so fucking excited thinking about that! That bastard is everywhere!
Yes.
And I also believe that these games are going to be MG1 and MG2:SS remakes, completely retconning the MSX series out of the canon.
Hi guys, just a small contribution.
Near the Princess Mary's Hospital in Cyprus there is a Dam, with more or less the shape of a whale tail, not exactly like the Moby Dick Logo, but, its like a tail.
Reading in the wiki i found that this "kouris" dam have some "local legends" like this:
I am ashamed to say that I still haven't played Peace Walker.
Any advice for getting the HD collection on disc vs. download?

There aren't any differences, I don't think. Have fun and disregard the try-hard drama.
Thanks! I will download it tonight. Seeing all these GZ/PP/MGS5 threads have painful. I need to get caught up on the series.You can pick and choose what you want when going digital (both on PS360 and Vita for MGS2/MGS3 - PW on Vita is the PSP version with lower end graphics and it's locked at 22fps).
I'd say console for PW - the game is incredible and shouldn't be missed (it was supposed to be MGS5 after all).

Is there only one ending? I might play it solo if so. It's worth it playing solo in normal difficulty, right?!
Is there a major difference between standard and true ending, or can I just google the true ending and not lose anything once I finish the game?

Phantom limb pain is described in Herman Melville's novel Moby Dick, which was first published in 1851. Captain Ahab, who had lost his leg in a skirmish with the great white whale, stated, "A dismasted man never entirely loses the feeling of his old spar. . . And I still feel the smart of my crushed leg, though it be now so long dissolved" (Melville 1987).
