The Phantom Pain: new teaser trailer is genuinely creepy – rumour

I’m starting to think this is the game where they set the Enfants Terribles project in action.

@1 Yeah same here. Read my update above too, the plot thickens.

Remember how it always was “Tactical Espionage Action”? That’s no longer the case. Now it’s “Paranormal Espionage Endeavors”. /creaped

Damn, Kojima sure likes to troll around…

I believe the term for this is “cock-tease”. All good fun

@Dave,
And that video shows Fusion Reactor DIII D tokamak in USA.

Look at around 2:20 mark from where the similarities start, even the angles of shots are similar.

Its getting really weird.

^Was just watching that, hang on… have you been making this shit up Dragon? Are you pulling our legs? Are you and Kojima in this together?

Surely this can’t be just Ground Zeroes all along, right? That would be kinda lame, since the game has been announced and shown already. So i guess this is two real new Metal Gears in the making?

@9 I highly doubt it , because we all know that Ground Zeroes IS prequel

Are they really going to hype up two games from the same franchise at the same time, though? I mean, keep in mind how little info on Ground Zeroes we’ve gotten since the initial trailer.

@11

Yes, yes they are. Konami has only the soccer series and Metal gear which makes them money.

I don’t know if you’ve heard about this crazy theory, but it’s so crazy that it makes sense!

Here is the thing, during the itw with Geoff, Joakim shows “new pics” of The Phantom Pain and we can clearly see that there’s 6 pictures on the iPad, but he only shows five of them…

The sixth pic is in fact Joakim himself with the FOX Engine logo, here’s the link :

You can read more evidence on this theory on NeoGaf :
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=524364

And remember this, Kojima will present a show at GDC named “Photorealism through the eyes of a ‘Fox’ – The core of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes”

P.S: Sorry if my english is a bit messed up, it’s not my native language.

^ if so, mind=blown!!!

That is not CG and especially not in-engine. Man, people that don’t know will just lap up any form of info. I would believe Phantom Pain is tech demo but not CG.

MGS Ground Zeroes launches in 2013 right? i read it somewhere. Hideo kojima the biggest troll. @11 Is there something wrong with that? the last MGS games was 4/Peace Walker that was years ago and if these two games offer something completely unique and special theres nothing wrong about it.

This looks A LOT like Neon Genesis Evangelion! If Kojima will make an existentialist game. I’M IN IT!

This uhh.. Seems like those Metal Gear Solid 3 videos. You know the ones where you would find one of the Russian dudes and they would talk about history and the shagohad..

@12,
You are so wrong. They are very big player in mobile market.
And very profitable-

@19

I was talking about in the Console Market. Mobile sector is a whole different thing. You can put 50k into development and it give you a return of 200-1000%

The fact that this is being presented as news is pretty embarassing for VG247. The video is fan made.

@21 Wheres the proof for it being fanmade?

@21
Its not.

@21 Dude, the whole internet’s gone viral over this 1 minutes and 15 seconds, this is surely news worthy for that sake alone.

@21,22,23
There is indeed a chance of it being fan-made, since its an user upload (by Joakim Mogren on gt). But its a damn good one if its that.

I am truly sorry if that is the case. I thought (and still think) its the real deal.

And I will kick myself if its fake as then I would have wasted 2 hours of sleep for a hoax.

As I said earlier,that video shows Fusion Reactor DIII D tokamak in USA.

@24,
“Are you and Kojima in this together?”

…
…
No

im hoping in the mist of all of this that MGS 5 turns out to be an exclusive for Sony ps4 lol that would send a wave through the gaming industry. all this hype for a ps4 game ! or even launch title!

I found this teaser genuinely boring as hell. That said I cant wait to see more from this game…

@26 As much as i want that to happen, it is no longer profitable (PS2 Era) for third partner publishers to launch a game exclusively on one platform (it does still happen). Although Metal Gear Rising Sold better on PS3 than Xbox360 considering its a action based spin off which was announced at microsoft conference, so maybe it might be a possibility.

^ Why would you want it to be exclusive? To have something to gloat over other platform gamers?

Always strikes me as odd, that sentiment. Uncharted for example, would be huge now if it had been multiplat.

@29 Its funny you say rhetorically i want it to be exclusive “to gloat over other platform gamers” when i provided no reason as to why i want it exclusive. Businesswise i know its risky. Uncharted Sells somewhere along the lines of 4/5 Million per game (1 Million for Uncharted Golden Abyss) that is a figure most multiplatform games don’t reach and its also a figure not to be ashamed of.

^ I never stated I knew the reason why you wanted it exclusive though did I? I simply asked a question as to why and provided a possible reason.

A simple question you still haven’t answered

Personally, I think when developers can focus on the strengths of one system, instead of having to water it down for the lowest common denominator, they tend to create better games.

It’s very noticeable, when playing MGR, how much better the graphics of MGS4 were, just as an example.

@clupula, That is a very good point I’d not actually considered

Its easy to forget how much effort & teamwork can go into, what is for some, throw-away entertainment.

@31 There are many reasons like the ones Clupula stated below you, as well as MGS being closely associated with PlayStation proof MG Rising sold better on PS3 despite being a spin off hardcore fans didn’t take too lightly and all MGS games are on PlayStation and i feel Xbox owners would not understand the history due to games like MGS 4, Portable Ops and MGS 1. I never gloat over the exclusives i will leave that to the hardcore PlayStation/Xbox fans.

^ To be fair, I can see this being exclusive.

I was one of the very few people who got MGS2 Subsistance for the Xbox. My first & so now my favorite MGS, but unless the triology and revengence have sold big, I can see Konami not bothering.

Phantom Pain is one thing, but what will Project Ogre be like running on Fox Engine – if it’s still in development. Someone might want to question Kojima about that at GDC, if the chance presents itself!

Kojima had this to say last September: “While I am happy to know people liked MGS Ground Zeroes, I’m sick & tired of people keep asking me ‘is that project Ogre’ here in Seattle everyday. Project Ogre is what the project that Ogre appears. Ogre does not appear in MGS Ground Zeroes,” he said.

Earlier last year, Kojima dropped further hints about Project Ogre, in a tweet translated by our Japanese correspondent:

“As for my Oni project, it’s not a game that’s as amazing as a demon, nor a game whose production requires that we assume the heart of a demon, but a game that involves a demon.”

The video is fan made guys.

Where is the edit button? Anyway, there is no thread about this on neogaf and the guys there say this is fan made, thats why I say this too, in case you are wondering. Peace.

Hum, actually i saw this was from GT and seeing as they recently had an interview about the game, i assumed it was related. Though indeed this isnt on GT’s main site and it is user uploaded… So yeah, fan made seems likely. Though i’ll still keep hope till someone can source the original video, thats if it was just taken from something else.

@20 yeah, where’s the proof that it’s fan-made? If I see proof that it’s fan-made I’ll take it down, and don’t give me any of that ‘you should verify with Konami first before posting’ chat either

No PR company would ever confirm a viral to the press for fear of game writers exposing it. It’s unverifiable until Konami decides on its own to come out and say it’s fake.

This is all part of the fun imo.

@40: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdQmPUI23mA

Thats the original video uploaded in 2008

@41 Kojima’s used real footage in many games. I’m not seeing proof yet that the Game Trailers clip isn’t for MGS.

This is becoming a bigger ARG than The End of Days one for The Secret World.

Hope Ground Zeroes and these are the same game. Too much MGS “official” saga games would suck.

IMHO this game is really Project (M)Ogre(n).

With MGR Kojima finally understood he can outsource some of its work to people with enough talent and just sit in a corner watching and sometimes counseling on what needs to be done.
