Trailers: Metal Gear Solid - Phantom Pain Trailer

[James Joseph Emerald]

Essentially...this keeps coming down to that arm. The only character I can think of that lost an arm is Grey Fox. Ocelot was already old when his hand was cut off (By Fox). Man...this'd be awesome if all the connections with MGS5 are simply a marketing ploy, and that the game is entirely original with no connection to MGS at all. Developed by Konami. That'd rock.

I dunno, the missing arm is in the same trailer with unicorns and giant flaming whales. I don't think you can assume it's any more than a hallucination, in which case the arm is probably a red herring.

Though I agree it would be kind of cool if it was a Silent Hill remake or something, I also like the idea of it exploring the backstory of characters like Psycho Mantis, Liquid Snake and Sniper Wolf. And Decoy Octopus, what was his deal with the blood draining?

What is it that female voice says at the end? Sounds a little like Olga Gurlukovich saying "Leave this country."

I heard that as "V has come to", like the protagonist's codename is "V" (hence Metal Gear Solid V) and you have just come to, as in woken up from your coma.

Am I the only one who thought it the title of the game was Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Limb Pain.

Maybe it'll explain how the bosses in the third game have super powers, since all the other bosses (in the 'present' time) ended up being simply explained by nano-machines.

As for the blood draining, Decoy Octopus would remove his own blood and replace it with that of who he was impersonating, so he would have their DNA assuming he was ever tested. I wish there had been any of him not as the DRAPA Chief though (Fiftten years old spoilers, watch out guyz!)

Well, Psycho Mantis's powers were never explained either. And Fortune in MGS2 was able to deflect missiles even without the special magnetic device (which, annoyingly, was never referenced again despite its apparent power).
Also, there's precedent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2Hkb1UHmSM&t=440] for Mantis causing fiery hallucinations.

 

[Treblaine]

Also, did I hear the voice of Kiefer Sutherland as the character who helps the protagonist of this short trailer?

 

[natster43]

God I love this trailer. It looks so cool, and it has a flaming whale that can fly. I can't wait to find out more about the game.

Whoa...didn't play Twin Snakes, so I missed that. I swear Psycho Mantis was explained at the end of MGS4, but I might be wrong. I also completely forgot about Fortune using her power after it had been 'turned off'. SO I guess maybe there is actual supernatural stuff in the future of MGS. I was really annoyed to find out that Vamp was entirely nano though...although I guess better than an actual vampire.

I can't help but hope that was Liquid we saw- Think about it, he did look slightly blond, had a missing arm, and had that trademark mane.

It's just the wrong damn arm, though. I was really looking forwards to that. Still, I have not been this excited about a game since... Can't even remember. I hope to see more soon.

 

[BristolBerserker]

Was I the only person who noticed that the hospital might be in the U.K because of A) Union Flag on the wall and B) the car in the brief crash scene is right hand drive. The flag was the first thing I noticed. Also that guy defo sounded like Kiefer Sutherland.

There's a theory about this that I quite like:

This game depicts the formation of the FOXHOUND unit, and the trailer you see is the part where Big Boss first meets Psycho Mantis.

you sir just made me rethink this whole trailer... thank you

 

[Aurora Firestorm]

Has to be Liquid, right? Ocelot has Liquid's arm. Except that would have been after the Foxhound unit happened...and Liquid is blonde anyway. But if he's a clone, he had to originally look like Snake/Big Boss, so he presumably bleaches his hair. Hmm.

Alternatively, it looks like it could also be Big Boss, around the time he got preserved by nanomachines, because he's missing an eye, right? Or at least his eye is bandaged.

 

[fix-the-spade]

Wh...what even the hell did I just watch? Black ops riding unicorns with horns made of flames and flying whales eating helicopters? What? This is a joke, right? This is Kojima parodying his own tendency toward absurdity, right?

Hideo Kojima, because sanity is boring!

What if it's Solidus?

There's a several year gap between him losing Raiden and becoming El Presidente. Or it's Liquid (is that Mantis at the end of the trailer?)... or an entirely new guy.

I might be a bit rusty but didn't Liquid snake lose a arm (that was later crafted on revolver ocelot) ..so it might liquid snake.
