I'm pretty goddamn hyped at this point.

What am I looking at here?

>>170684
Metal Gear Solid 5.

Interesting how the video skips from 2:26 to 4:46ish.

Been a while since I've been psyched about ARG shit, but damn if it isn't fun to speculate about all of this.

>>170702
Yea Metal Gear really lends itself to conspiracy thinking. Kojima is probably having a field day with this.

Daww

HELLO!

I COME FROM THE FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER

I HAVE BEATEN VR 18 IN FIRST PLACE

I WIELD MY LONGSWORD FOR TRUE JUSTICE

>>170967
I haven't even started the MGR VR missions, I've been too busy replaying MGS2 and 3 on the HD Collection. MGS2's stinger at the end is still pretty goddamn mindfuckish.

I'm not looking forward to moving on to Peace Walker.

>>170967
Katana > Longsword

Pleb

>>170970
I don't think so, Tim.

>>170969
The sheer amount of shit to do in Peace Walker is intimidating.

Excuse me I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine katana in Japan for 2,400,000 Yen (that's about $20,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut modern tanks apart with my katana
Japanese smiths spend years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest blades known to mankind.
Katanas are thrice as sharp as European swords and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a longsword can cut through, a katana can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a Metal Gear equipped with next-generation nanomachine-armor with a simple vertical slash.
Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Japan? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Samurai and their katanas of destruction. Even in World War II, American senators targeted the ninja with the katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected.
So what am I saying? Katanas are simply the best sword that the world has ever seen.

>>170974
>American senators targeted the ninja with the katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected.

>>170972

Yeah I've pretty much resigned myself to watching ChipCheezum's LP of Peace Walker. I'm right at the start of the game myself and I can't bring myself to do it all.

Never finished Portable Ops either, which is a damn shame because I liked Gene and the FOX unit but god it was so awful to play.

>>170970
Ahh, but the HF Long Sword is a Nodachi long sword.

CHECK AND MATE!!!

>>170969
>even started the MGR VR missions

Get ready for the most frustratingly difficult thing in the entire Metal Gear universe.

Also it bears so much repeating but Goddamn this game would be bleak without sunny, her and George's life is literally the proof Raiden hasn't become a fucking monster.

>>170993

I think Wolf said it best.

"You empathize with others in your disposition."

Which, really, is Raiden's character at this point. He's a crazed, murdering child soldier with a fucked up past who doesn't want other kids to have to go through the same shit he's had to go through. So really, think of him as being like Cyborg Ninja Gamera. Friend to all children and such.

>>170993
>Become
>Inferring Raiden wasn't always terrible.

>>171011
He said monster, not terrible

He wasn't a monster in MGS2, and in MGS4 he was simply suicidal and protecting Snake

>>170988
I played through the PSP version last year, all the way up to the final fight against Peace Walker with the nuke launch and all that. At that point I determined I hated the game because of the boss fights and controls and the fact that it was essentially Metal Gear Hunter, to the point you can even fight fucking Tigrex. I have people I'll be able to play with now, so hopefully it'll be less infuriating this way.
>>170991
OH BOY!

Part of me secretly wants The Phantom Pain to be completely unrelated to Metal Gear Solid in any way, if only because I have seen so many people convinced of something online that turns out to be nothing more than a wild goose chase.

>>171016
>Played hundreds of hours of Monster Hunter on the PSP.
>Hunter Mode controls in Peace Walker control perfectly for me.
>Finish both the Monster Hunter quests on my first try due to memorizing the Tigrex/Rathian attack patterns in Freedom 2.
>Youtube comments: "OMG THIS IS 2 HARD KONAMI WHY!?!"

Serves you all right for being casuals.

>>171018
>Suck dicks for hundreds of hours
>Testicles contract perfectly fine for me
>Drown in buckets of semen by memorizing the weak spots
>Youtube comments: "I don't like to suck dicks, please give me a functional video game."

The PSP controls for Peace Walker were absolutely unplayable Moe.

>>171021
Or maybe it was perfect for him and sucking dicks is in fact not equal to playing videogames he enjoys.

>>171022
It's Moe.

>>171023
True, but the MH controls translate well enough to a portable MGS.

So yeah, not that I didn't like it, but why the crossover, anyway? MGS isn't shy with shout-outs, but it's a bit much to actually fight some monsters, isn't it?

I could see Peacewalkers controls being aggravating without a second analogue stick.

If you asked me the best way to play PW is just through the Vita or the HD remake.

>TPP_GDC2013
SO HARD TO DECODE, KOJIMA.

>>171032
What am I looking at?

>>171029
Yeah the HD collection is how I ultimately ended up playing it. Someone gave me the PSP version and I ended up reselling it because I couldn't stand the controls at all.

Wait... does this mean that Liquid was never a clone of Big Boss? Or that somehow Ocelot's genes got mixed in or- fuck it.

>THAT FEEL WHEN DECIMATING WORLD MARSHALL

>>171069
I'm really sick of Ocelot

>>171095

Well he HAS been in every MGS game.

Also it's kinda annoying how he's ALWAYS BETRAYING PEOPLE.

I think what irks me the most about Miller = Ocelot is surely Big Boss would've RECOGNISED Ocelot at some point... Right?

>>171127
Big Boss has combat autism. He is bad at literally everything that isn't sneaking around and killing people. The second ending for Peace Walker proved that.

>>171127
It also ignores the fact that before he was redesigned to make Liquid disguising himself as Miller plausible, he was super fucking Asian. Ocelot being someone who was already murdered so someone else could pretend to be him would be the most convuluted and retarded twist they could ever pull. Worse than IT WAS ALL NANOMACHINES.

>>171142
>Worse than Volgin being a CIA agent.
>Worse than Pacifica Ocean.

So, wait, Moe, I need you to list all of your problems with Raiden, not gonna argue with any of them but I'm curious.

>>171146
In before you end arguing about that at the end.

>>171146
It's not so much Raidan, but the fact that he's a constant reminder of how stupid Metal Gear's fanbase can be.

>Sons of Liberty
>Raiden is an amazing character with a surprising amount of depth for the time.
>"wtf this aint snake he not super cool muscle dude gtfo this sht"

>Guns of the Patriots
>Raiden is deviantart fanfiction robot ninja
>"omg this is so badass I can't believe it oh boy"

MGR saves the concept to the extent that it helps me forget GotP's plot is a thing.

>>171148
Okay I can totally feel ya on that.

I like Raiden in general and while I wasn't struck on the GotP stuff MGR really turned it around for me on his being a cyborg.

>>171148

I kinda like Raiden being a ninja cause it follows through him using the FOX blade in MGS2 and I think it works for his progression.

How GoTP handled him, however, wasn't the best. Rising at least lets him be a fucking hero.

>>171145
Except you're making half of that up.

>>170993
I find it hilarious how many people have stopped loving Sunny the instant she was hit on by George. Those otaku losers can't stand their "waifu" not staying single for them.

>>171148

Also TBH while I like MGS2 Raiden, I think MGS2 had a lot of story issues and a lot of that got shuffled over onto Raiden. Some of them being:

>Rose. Look I know it's easy to bitch about the romance here but seriously. I get what they were trying but they really needed to make the relationship there more subtle. Ideally it'd be professional but with awkward moments of personal banter where we'd get true hints of how they feel about one another. What we got felt more like ham-handed melodrama in the middle of our action stealth game.

>the bosses... OK I know this is a kind of stupid gripe but really. Dead Cell needed at least 1 or 2 more members and for you to actually BEAT them. As is, Raiden only defeats/kills ONE and he was kind of the lame one out of the bunch. Fortune should've been a psychomantisesq villain who's untouchable until you manage to counter her bullshit luck. Vamp should've been a much later boss fight. Actually PROGRESSION should've been made. As was it just seemed like Raiden putzes about for 40 minutes as a bunch of shit goes on behind his back. Say what you will about this tying into him not trusting reality or whatever it wasn't exactly fun to play through.

>Some of these revelations come outta nowhere. Like Solidus saying he's murdered Raiden's parents or the whole crap about the Patriots. The reason the twist in MGS1 worked was cause there was some foreshadowing with the Darpa Chief and the death of Decoy Octopus. And the way the Colonel acts in MGS2 is enough of a reason to pull that crap about the AI later too, that works. But a lot of the game ties further into Raiden just feeling like he's putzing about while all of this shit goes on in the background. That can work in some instances but here? Not really.

>That ending was a SUPER anti-climatic cliffhanger.

Really, I think the pacing and characterization of MGS2 is all over the place. I get what they were going for, I just don't think they did a very good with it.

>>171155
Part of it had to do with 9/11 I think.

Anyone else feel that Raiden has shit luck and his family will go to hell. At no point in MGS2 is it hinted that Raiden wanted to rear a family.

Rose drops the news at a horrible time expecting Jack to just...care for no other reason and believe her after all her lies. Essentially John was born out of a string of long reaching lies and not because both parents wanted him. Well Rose wanted him, but expecting Jack to just go along with it makes her a selfish bitch.

Add in that in Rising Raiden works by traveling around the globe to make a living meaning he has no time to even think about his son and guide him and teach him values means he's bound to grow up fucked up.

I can't fault Raiden for that future fuck up, the disjointed and unbalanced family he has is all thanks to Rose's selfishness.

>>171158
>he has no time to even think about his son
He actually jokes about buying some souvenirs for John and Rose while you're in Denver. Just before Sam and Monsoon completely shit all over him.
>>171145
WORSE THAN ALL OF THOSE.

Also Portable Ops doesn't count and everyone needs to pretend that piece of shit was never made.

>>171159
So, was Portable Ops really that terrible?

Jack the Ripper being Raiden's Super Evil Mode was kind of lame.

Fits with how anime the game is I guess.

>>171160
No, it was quite a passable game.

Really I don't see why people freak out about it so much compared to Peacewalker,
The goddamn Zeke was a proto-Rex, where was the TX-55 predecessor?

>>171162
>>171160
It's a lot things that make it frustrating as hell.
>Controls are like Peace Walker but worse
>Retconning Gray Fox into having ALWAYS BEEN A FUCKING NINJA
>Sokolov, an old-ass frail scientist, survived bleeding out from bullet wounds in his knees and having his head beaten in COLONEL MUSCLES TORTURE MCLIGHTNINGBOLT
>Dragging people back to Campbell's magic truck of abduction to recruit new units
Also the whole retconning Outer Heaven into being some other dude's idea kinda devalues the whole concept and Big Boss's character as a whole, since he can't seem to come up with his own shit or interpret the Bosses' will for himself. The whole plot is a mass of needless retcons that fit so poorly into the plot you can skim over the game entirely and basically miss nothing.

>>Retconning Gray Fox into having ALWAYS BEEN A FUCKING NINJA

Him being able to deflect bullets with his blade bothered me when I played it but it now I suppose fits perfectly into the Verse with characters shown in newer installments, case in point- Samuel and his katana-wankery.

>>managed to take down a hit squad composed of 10 mob enforcers with automatic weapons using only his sword during the early 2000s, a time before cyborg technology was available.

At that point I threw up my hands and gave in, if Sammie could do it then someone being moulded into a super-soldier living weapon experiment can do that shit too.

>>171169
Additionally when you kill Sam Raiden remarks that he barely has any enhancements.

>>171161
I dunno man, of all the characters that could have something like that Raiden makes a lot of sense.

Multiplayer redeemed Portable Ops, but the mode has since been shut down, so all that content is lost forever.

PS3-MGO was utterly mishandled, though. I just want them to get MGO right again...

>>171155
>>171158
These.

It wasn't so much that I hated Raiden, I just thought he was incredibly bland as a character. The way the game plays out it's the things around him and his passive responses that really drew my ire. That he couldn't tell Rose to shut up, that he really seemed to be a pawn in everything at all times, instead of a more free radical like Snake. I get that we were kind of supposed to look at Snake from the outside, as an observer, Raiden just ended up being such an observer in everything that it was hard to really care about him.

They've just never hit that MGS3 high again. Or even come close really.

Apparently David Hayter has not been asked back to play Snake.

Maybe there's a plot-related reason for this, but I'm still bummed out.

Come on Kojima, let's see you finally crush BB's last bit of hope in humanity. BRING ON THE TRENCHCOAT.

So is Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain the same game or are they separate? As it is there's no reason to not have both be separate missions in a single game like Snake/Tanker and Raiden/Big Shell in MGS2.

>>171478
>no Hayter
fuck

>>171481
Ground Zeroes is the prologue portion of MGSV while the post-coma stuff is The Phantom Pain.

So yeah, Tanker and Shell.

>>171484
Thanks. On a side note, anyone else feel glad we're literally seeing this "War between Zero and Big Boss"? The way Metal Gear Solid 4 described it, it almost felt like a Cold War, essentially purely behind the scenes of civilization. So glad that there's real conflict and massacres between the two. And I hope they do a good job explaining and showing us on screen just how Zero, Sigint, and Paramedic deviated from their MGS3 selves. You can't just set all this up for nothing as it would only make the lazy writing of MGS4 seem lazier.

>The kid in the Ground Zeroes trailer was Chico.
>He's probably dead.
>Amanda is dead.
>Huey is dead.
>Cecile is dead.
>All the people you recruited and spared on the battlefield are dead.

>And all this is Zero's fault.

>>171478
Maybe it's the fact that Big Boss sounding the exact same as Solid Snake never really made sense?

But that's hardly an excuse to change things 4 games in.

>>171488
I generally figure if someone's a clone or an evil version of a character, that they should have the same VA. And yeah, continuity. And the fact that he's so strongly associated with the game. He's helped with the dubbing, and a lot of people were brought in to the series because of his voice.

>>171487

Wait didn't Huey commit suicide when Hal fucked his step-mom?

>>171490
>I generally figure if someone's a clone or an evil version of a character, that they should have the same VA.

But that line of reasoning falls apart when you think that there were two OTHER clones of Big Boss that didn't sound exactly like him. Why does Solid Snake sound like him, but Liquid and Solidus do not?

Hell, the one who should have sounded the most like him, based on the skewed logic of cloning and it's interpretation in the series, would have been Solidus, who was the clone who hadn't had genomatic tomfoolery done with his DNA to favour any particular traits, unlike Liquid and Solid.

>>171495
Eh, you've got a point there. I'm more well-versed in superhero cartoons than MGS, to be honest, and in cartoons usually everyone only has one clone if they have any. But I think Hayter's a good enough VA that he could pull it off.

So... I'm not the only one who noticed that Big Boss now has Zadornov's right hand? Think he took it as a little gift?

... think you can rocket-punch enemies with it?

>>171530
It's the wrong arm. Big Boss is missing his left, Zardonov's was on his right.

>>171538

oh :[

>>171540
It might not be Zadornov's hand, but it sure as shit is probably based off of the same tech.

Also, BB has some pretty interesting piercings at the end of the trailer.

More than likely, the guy in The Phantom Pain was either a new Big Boss clone (lol) or Chico (lol). TPP might be a precursor to the S3 program from Sons of Liberty.

>Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain will be released seperately, Ground Zeroes first
>Big Boss's horn thing is a piece of shrapnel
>The third patient Miller points out at the beginning of the trailer is Kojima

I wanted to get into MGS a couple years ago (I don't have a PS3 or a working PSP, but I was planning on playing at least MGS, MGS2, and MGS3), and a friend who was really into the series told me not to bother caring about the plot at all, as Kojima was a troll and had written everything deliberately to confuse people who looked too far into the plot of things.

Was he right, and as someone who's never tried stealth games, are they doable gameplay-wise?

>>171586
You can enjoy the gameplay but the plot is nonsense.

>>171478
I'd just immediately assumed that meant the Solidus guy would voice him.

>>171586
>>171589
The overall plot of Metal Gear, while complicated, isn't really hard to understand, and the plot for each individual game is babbymode.

The KOJIMA2DEEP reputation started from idiots who skipped all the cutscenes in Sons of Liberty, got to the ending, and had no idea what happened.

>>171604
Moe, nonsense doesn't mean complicated.

It means the writing is total bollocks.

Metal Gear games always represent a precursor to shit we'll be tired of for the next few years.

>Prologue games.
>Fake announcements to hint at sequels.

>>171613

If it follows Peacewalker then probably

>Management minigames as part of larger action games

>>171186

Plus, in the Japanese release of the game, Sam is the only enemy to have red blood, all other cyborgs, Raiden included, have white. Raiden commenting on Sam's lack of enhancements was only in the American release where cyborgs had red blood. Presumably, the conversation with Doktor about how White Blood was phased out is also absent from the Japanese version.

>>171621

Probably cause the whole "white blood" thing was seen as a bit skeevy.

I mean we know Raiden's popular with the ladies over there and while I'm pretty sure it wasn't meant to be that I think-

No wait I think it was meant to be that.

Sorry to bring Kotaku on the table, but this is relevant.

>>171637
We already knew about this. Posting Kotaku is never excusable.

Well to be fair it's Older Big Boss.

BB in MGS4 wasn't voiced by Hayter. So I dunno I think it's excusable.

>>171639
Not really, didn't saw that Kojima was the one who didn't casted Hayter for the role mentioned before.

>>171613
MGS3 wasn't brown and bloom. Half of that game had a green filter on everything. You fought in the jungle. The enemies had green uniforms. You had like, 8 kinds of green camo. Even the damned snow camo had green on it.

So I sat down and played Peace Walker this week, intent on finally getting somewhere with it.

I was sceptical as fuck at first, not really too keen on things broken up into tiny little A to B missions with a bunch of menus and loading screens in between, but I've come to absolutely love the game.

Managing Mother Base is really fun, and the Extra Ops missions are varied enough to keep me going through them all. If Ground Zeroes or MGSV can improve on any of this then hell yes.

My only gripe would be that the vehicle capture missions can get very stale very quickly, and even when you've got a team of four armed with Fulton-ammo Carl Gustavs it still takes fucking forever to do anything.

Anyone else grown to hate Big Boss? There's nothing great about this guy.

In MGS3 The Boss let him win, I don't care if he magically became better than The Boss at the end. He got his ass beaten FOUR freaking times by the same character.

In Portable Ops turns out he never even thought about his own ideals and was still mentally a low level grunt soldier and needed Gene to show him the idea of Outer Heaven. So now Big Boss is a plagiarist. In Peace Walker he also doesn't bother to regulate his group all that well since Miller is the one doing all the statistical work to finance and keep the damn unit functional by looking into ways to finance and pay the bills and even he needed to nag to Big Boss "Yo I can't do this alone, I need you actually act like a bloody leader and instruct our troops."

The more we learn about Big Boss the more I grow to hate him. His clones are superior characters. Doesn't help that he has the personality of a rock either and how he still behaves like a naive child by Peace Walker also annoys me like him still wanting to save Paz even though she highjacked his metal gear and tried to kill him with it. How he can't face reality makes me almost want to root for Zero, Sigint, and Paramedic to successfully kill him. Such a moron doesn't deserve to be praised.

Here's hoping that in Phantom Pain he stops acting like a retard. However if this guy doesn't find his balls by then, then to hell with him.

>Paz's tapes

>>172295

The Boss didn't "let" Big Boss win. He was just unfortunate enough to fight her in a bunch of cut scenes where she tends to dominate. Once you FOUGHT her you could win.

>>172312
>>172295
I think the point there was that he literally couldn't bring himself to beat the Boss. He held back until he finally couldn't anymore and allowed himself to surpass her.

Also you should never give a fuck about Portable Ops. Most of it is non-canon except the fact that something happened in San Heironymo that Miller isn't exactly fond of. It's also the only mainline MGS title not to be included in the 25th anniversary timeline for a damn reason.
http://metalgearsolid.com/app/webroot/timeline/?plus1=eng&tid=62

Metal Gear Solid is shit, particularly in plot.

There was nothing about Portable Ops that is out of the uality curve for your average MGS game.

Big Boss has been a villain ever since the end of MGS3. A particularly shitty villain, in fact.

So I finally got around to watching the stream for the game... It's been a long time. A LONG time since I've played a Metal Gear game since 4 put a such a bad taste in my mouth... but I gotta say this has me pretty excited. I can't help but tear up a little.

>>176051
Hey now, it was never horrible. Except for the Peace Walker version. That was shit.

>>176070
You're watching a man make his final transition into full monster.

Also that Paz thing was too much.

>>176082
Metal Gear Solid's tend to hit me right in the feels most of the time.
I am a bit disappointed they seem to be making the Portable Ops game canon though...

Also: PC CONFIRMED... maybe... one day. Eventually.

>>176084
>I am a bit disappointed they seem to be making the Portable Ops game canon though...

I'm okay with anything that makes Gene a canon villain. It's one step closer to having John Slattery play him in the Metal Gear TV show that will never happen.

As a matter of fact, the only Metal Gear game with straight-up shit villains is Guns of the Patriots, but that only applies to the newly introduced ones. Liquid Ocelot was great.

>>176070
MGS4 is the only bad MGS game. Portable Ops was meh, but Peace Walker was fucking fantastic.

Are there any good sandbox games of Eastern make, not counting stuff like Animal Crossing? Because it primarily seems to be a Western type of game design philosophy.

>>176183
Shenmue?

>>176082
You're referring to the person who got gutted right? I didn't look at that scene too closely. Was too hardcore even for someone like me who's used to gore.

So apparently the music for MGSV is being done by a guy named Ludvig Forsell, but the only other game he seems to have done music for is a PSP game called Senritsu no Stratus (whose only famous song is by Yuki Kajiura nonetheless). Anybody know what other work he's done and if he's any good.

I was just thinking, the Kid from the trailers, the one that's going to end up being a boss (The one that curses the world), there' always been something funny about him.

Then I realized he looks like a young Keifer Sutherland, almost. And he's blond. And he's wearing clothes with a bare chest.

Could it be young Liquid? Maybe. I dunno.

He's also got a necklace of jackal teeth (Liquid's quote about hunting jackals in the desert), is in the Middle East where Liquid was a POW, and seems to be around the right age given when Les Enfants Terribles was supposed to have started.

Seems like a pretty good bet they want us to think he's a young Liquid, even if it somehow turns out that he's not.
