One of the comments

The "founder" of Moby Dick Studio is Joakim Mogren. "Joakim" is an anagram of "Kojima", and "Mogren" has the word "ogre" in the middle, which is a reference to Kojima's Project Ogre. That is all.

:amazed: :amazed: :amazed:

[Ramsay]

Mogren is also the name of a football club in Montenegro, which is where the opening of Platinum Games' Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance takes place :worship:

[Scarlett.]

I wonder if the story is about Big Boss, or Solid Snake?

[Scarlett.]

So Kojima tweeted this

In the background in small writing was "TPP_GDC 2013_720p_esrb"

TPP = The Phantom Pain

Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain has been announced at the Game Developers Conference.

Franchise creator Hideo Kojima revealed today (March 27) that Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain together make the Metal Gear Solid sequel.

Franchise creator Hideo Kojima revealed today (March 27) that Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain together make the Metal Gear Solid sequel.



Described as an open-world game, it follows Snake as he wakes up from a nine-year coma.

A gameplay demonstration showed the game's tutorial, with the protagonist waking up in a hospital and being forced to escape, but too weak to stand.

However, Snake is soon aided by a man named Ishmael, a character who many are speculating is voiced by 24 star Kiefer Sutherland.

Kojima was at GDC discussing the new Fox Engine that Kojima Productions was building when he officially unveiled the game.

A trailer for Metal Gear Solid 5 was also shown, featuring footage from both Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain.

It was confirmed at the end of the video teaser that the game would be coming to both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Troy Baker (aka FFXIII's Snow) is playing Ocelot

[Ramsay]

I quite like him in the trailers
He seems to be getting great gigs. Booker in Bioshock, Joel in Last of Us, Joker in the Batman game and now this lol

[Scarlett.]

So, in a bit of a shock twist, Afghanistan isnt the only setting in Phantom Pain, and instead of being one gigantic open world, its several different ones.

Can't wait for his return, one of my favourite MGS characters of all time

[Scarlett.]

IGN confirms the fulton recovery system is back (of course it is, the goat, lol), we'll be able to knock on surfaces again, to distract guards.

The fulton is apparently much more functional this time, meaning we can take everything from vehicles to livestock back to Mother Base.

http://metal-gear.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/pic_z_011-1024x576.jpg

We will also be able to get a chopper back to the fully customisable mother base at any time, and it will be explorable! Characters like Ocelot will be hanging around there too.

The Mother Base section looks epic, I loved Ocelot's little "You're pretty good" gesture, lol.

[Ramsay]

I love this series so much
Keep telling a friend of mine to get into it but he can't be arsed and i want to slap him forever

[Scarlett.]

Konami released an official version of the demo clip, looks a lot nicer without the stream compression

Film Producer Avi Arad (Spider-Man, X-Men)

"Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is a stunning presentation. The trailer is full of symbolism and philosophy that we come to expect from Mr. Kojima. Although cleverly disguising the story and therefore making the trailer enticing, Mr. Kojima makes sure to include enough visuals to make us comfortable that we are in for a new Metal Gear experience. For me, the sight of the Diamond Dogs and Snake putting the ashes on his face with multiple urns make me believe that a lot of history is going to be dealt with. If one listens carefully to the amazing song, Nuclear by Mike Oldfield, it is fantastic story telling that gives us enough of a window to know we are about to embark on another emotional masterpiece by Mr. Kojima. Kiefer Sutherland as the voice of Snake is just fantastic while raising the drama, and makes us long to play the game."


Director Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive, Only God Forgives)

"Watching the trailers for MGSV makes you wonder if the spirits of Dostoyevsky, Stanley Kubrick, and Caravaggio entered Hideo Kojima's body because, using the art of gaming as his canvas, he boldly goes where no one has gone before.

The trailers for Metal Gear Solid V, prove once again that Hideo Kojima is a master at portraying a wider and more complex view of human nature combined with breathtaking action sequences. A daring and bold move from one of the founders of the future of technology. With Metal Gear Solid V, Hideo Kojima has created the perfect marriage of cinematic storytelling and cutting edge gaming technology. For me, it all culminates into one word: Genius."


Director Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, Pacific Rim)

"Kojima-San remains a massive inspiration for me and METAL GEAR continues to deliver the edgy, vital, jaw-dropping world and feel that we have come to expect but it pushes the envelope every single time. It is a window into the future of the medium and its breathless narrative and artistic expansion. Amazing!"


Director Park Chan-wook (Old Boy, Stoker)

"I have always been thinking that I want to see a film directed by Mr. Kojima, but after seeing the latest trailers for Metal Gear Solid V, I realised I was wrong. He has actually been making films in his own way already. Metal Gear Solid games are already films, the films of the future."


Director Shinya Tsukamoto (Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Vital, Nightmare Detective)

"Intense, crazy, deep Kojima world. By the time you finish this game, you should be changed into a completely new person."


Actor Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead, The Boondock Saints)

"Wow! That is AMAZING! So beautiful … So well done. You guys created such an incredible piece of art."

FFS I don't have time to play all of the games I want to this year. I'm going to have to take a career break I think. I can take up to a year... it's unpaid, it'll be rough, but I reckon it should be OK.

[Scarlett.]

A certain A-ha song has been confirmed for MGS V, this might provide a hint to which one..

First time in like 2 or 3 years I have that desperate feeling of needing an upcoming game as soon as it's out for this.

[Tom4784]

I'm gonna get Until Dawn first but I plan on getting this in a few weeks time.

[Ramsay]

Pure emotional watching the last trailer, it's been a mad ride. We will miss you Kojima :lovedup:

Pre-ordered the limited edition MGSV PS4. That beautiful console will be mine.

[Scarlett.]

My copy arrived Saturday lol

It's been very good so far.

[Samuel.]

It sounds like most people in the UK did thanks to bank holiday monday making shops ship them earlier.

If only I ordered online...

[Scarlett.]

Hoorah!

About 3 hours in

Just rescue Kaz. The Prologue was AMAZING i ****ing loved it. Volgin and Mantis :fap: :fap: what freaked me out though was the character customization at the beginning all i could think was NO NO NO NOT A CLONE PLEASE DONT LET THE CLONE THEORY BE TRUE, ehhh but i guess that was just for your online character? Oh, that woman that killed the nurse and doc. that looked so much like Quiet. she's supposed to be Quiet i assume? GIMME GRAY FOX

[user104658]

Giant flying flaming horse chase... So dramatic... My 3 year old wanders over and watches... Says;

"Oooooh, nininus!" (That's minimus... From princess Sofia...)

http://www.aime.com/flashbpic/201401/2014011519292070160.jpg

Sort of broke immersion :joker:

[Samuel.]

I've spent 10 hours playing today. It's been glorious. I've barely progressed the story even, only up to ep 6, it's just been fun doing side stuff and building the base up.

It's very different to the rest of the series, and initially that scared me because I come to MGS pretty much only for the story, but actually playing it has been so enjoyable.

[Ramsay]

A lot like Peace Walker as i was expecting but that's not a bad thing

[Scarlett.]

20 or so hours in. It's getting very interesting now.

[user104658]

Anyone tried shooting Ocelot with a tranq dart at Mother Base? He starts slurring and mumbling about the LaLiLuLeLo :joker:.

[Scarlett.]

I wish I did that now, I keep seeing characters in places as Im leaving the base, and its like "NO! Take me back!"

[Samuel.]

Find the blue door on the medical platform...

[Scarlett.]

I did and...I gotta say....

I'm now confused

[Scarlett.]

So I've finished it...


Just, wow.

[user104658]

So I've finished it...


Just, wow.
How are you finished it so quickly? I've got a play time of just under 12 hours and I'm at 4% complete... I've only just done the 4th full mission :joker:.

[Samuel.]

The whole thing or the first chapter?

Yeah I've played about 16 hours and I've only done 9 missions.

[Ramsay]

20 hours, 11 missions in. I'm just mostly doing side ops :laugh:
But yeah that blue door...holy ****

[Scarlett.]

http://i.imgur.com/Oi39TAsl.jpg

I already had him, imported from Ground Zeroes... you save him if you do the optional missions in that. Wonder if that means my game will just skip that side op?

[Scarlett.]

I didnt import the save cause I got the game early and the function wasnt there, so I'm not sure lol

[Scarlett.]

I've started developing the bandana xD

[Scarlett.]

Without spoiling anything, just how much does everyone hate Huey?

[user104658]

I didnt import the save cause I got the game early and the function wasnt there, so I'm not sure lol
I also love that pretty much all of his stats are really high :joker:.

[Scarlett.]

I'm in love with this song, lol

[Ramsay]

[Samuel.]

Only up to mission 15... fml this going to take me forever. Loving every second though.

I loved that, as a sidenote, you don't have to do the extreme mode missions in Chapter 2, you can just do side ops instead

[Ramsay]

Excellent, was not looking forward to replaying the same missions so soon!

[Ramsay]

Well that ending was a whole load of BULL****

[Scarlett.]

I liked it lol

Not so much the fact the game is missing another ending though
