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?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
What's the thing on Snake's forehead, during that last segment? I've seen it a few times but can't figure out that it is. Kinda looks like a devilish horn, but that can't be right.
Looks like a piece of metal lodged into his skull
Big Boss is definitely not voiced by Kiefer Sutherland. The bandaged guy is but not BB.

If there's no Hayter, this is the only other man that would instantly have the same credibility.
Isnt Kurt retired?
Also very different kind of voice but

That's not Snake but Miller.
Peoples!!Okay. Did you guys notice? When he said what happened to the woman?
He started with "I'VE.......WE gave a..."
Sounds like that is snakes conscious......

K, I'm sold Ishmael = Big Boss, Keifer Sutherland is now the voice of Snake.

Why the fuck does he have a devil horn?
The firedude has two devil horns, that was the last thing I saw before the Gamspot feed cut out.

It seems like we're seeing that first scene from the eyes of Ishmael. Then in the gameplay segment we have the "Who am I? I'm....I've been watching over you for 9 years"
Plus they both seem to be voiced by Kiefer. But Miller's dialogue makes it seem like Ishmael is a real person, though later in the gameplay trailer it could be argued that he's not really there at all

I can definitely see Microsoft demanding that multiplat next-gen games (at least a few of them, anyway) not be announced by their devs/publishers until after they officially reveal the next XBox. Don't want big games like this to only be equated with PS4 in peoples' minds for any amount of time.
Trailer was great.

My thinking exactly!
If you look at the Phantom Pain part of the trailer you can see a strange bump under the bandages in the few moments we see Big Boss frontally.
I still think this is some kind of fragments of metal stuck in his head after the helicopter incident which is probably going to happen before Phantom pain part starts...
Was expecting Japanese VA so little disapointed.
Yea I noticed Miller's "what about him?" too. definitly third person next to Big Boss
The Ennio Morricone Joan Baez song? Best thing about the trailer imo.
Yeah. It's basically the Tanker part of MGS2.
Somewhere around that definitely.
Oh, cool. I didn't notice the bump under the bandages, but that makes sense!

Sutherland is like the only voice actor on the planet they could have gotten to make me say "sorry Hayter."
Suddenly hyped just due to Keifer.
Kojima to use "The Phantom Pain" as a reason for Big Boss as a bad guy in MG1/2 confirmed.
Completely retconning this shit

I'm guessing this has been talked about already but at the start when the doctors say that Big Boss has gone into a coma, Kaz then looks towards the camera and says "What about him?"
Any idea who he could be referring to?
Edit: Just realised that duckroll mentioned this on this page.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Big Boss has an Ogre Horn.
Project Ogre.
Project Ogre.
Considering that the Black Hawk helicopter came into service in 1979, that's a strong possibility.
dude, with the trench coat perhaps?
The Door's "People Are Strange" would have been a great choice.
I think Big Boss has a look-a-like in the game and it's not Solid Snake.

Yep. Chapter 5 of MGS5 is basically 1975. Unless all of that huge base and mech development was only meant to take a month or so.
And the Coma was 9 years was it?

If 9 years passed while he was in a coma, does that mean this goes into the 90's?
Dat perfect loop is hypnotizing
Big Boss is actually a Terminator!

Interesting youtube comment
"Father was wounded from combat and already in a coma when they brought him in" - Liquid Snake MGS1
"Father was wounded from combat and already in a coma when they brought him in" - Liquid Snake MGS1
Early to Mid 80s is plausible, so yeah 1984ish.
That's what I said a few pages ago. It's seems I'm not the only one who got this interpretation

I have to say, this game seems to be a LOT darker than Peace Walker.. Peace Walker, while dealing with mature themes was fairly light-hearted at times. Building up Mother Base was really fun, like putting together your team of Pokemon in some ways.
Seeing it being decimated was crushing, it gave me chills and was very sad. I can only imagine the panic and shock that Snake would be going through. I can already see how he's finally becoming a really different character from Solid and becoming the chaotic evil Big Boss.

I'm guessing yes given the way he's presented in the trailer and his over all costuming. Nose matches up with young Ocelot in MGS3 too. I think there was a pic in the GDC thread.
