Internet Hoaxes and the Hype Train: Metal Phantom Pain Gear Solid Vita Infinity Edition

PSLS: Most of the Internet has fantasized by now about how the trailer shown at the VGAs for the mysterious The Phantom Pain could be the world’s first look at Metal Gear Solid V. Speculation is running rampant on what it could all mean, how and if it ties in to Ground Zeroes, what character it will feature, and a million other theories that we could spend the rest of the week picking over. Where there is a massive hype train and a mystery to be solved, people will inevitably cash in on the popularity with a level of misdirection, taking advantage of fans’ eagerness for a subject to troll them. This is what seems to have happened with the fake Facebook pages for Moby Dick Studio(s) and its founder, Joakim Mogren.

I love Kojimasan as a blonde. LOL I recognized him right away when I first saw the pic.

I'd love to have MGSV on my Vita, BTW.

They photoshopped Hulk Hogan's mustache onto his face LMFAO

ftwrthtx4148d ago

Can't go wrong with a 'stache like that.

MizTv4148d ago

That would be great brother

dbjj120884148d ago

Well, we'll find out sooner than later... unless it really is Kojima... then years of delays will turn this hype into unbearable expectations and the game will never come out.

doctorstrange4148d ago

I bet it's not even a game and Kojima's trolling us all

alexcosborn4148d ago

That would be incredibly cruel. But certainly not out of the question :D

rpd1234148d ago

Yeah, all the stuff coming from the Facebook page and Twitter profile is utter BS. The trailer itself and their website is all that I trust right now?

Kingthrash3604148d ago

Metal gear vita would be nice ill buy. It's not like it wouldn't come out on consoles too I'd like both honestly.

Now we'll have to see how much the Master Collection will add to those numbers.

Number1TailzFan172d ago

Too bad it was a lazy release. They could've updated the visuals and everything. Missed opportunity.

Stanjara172d ago

...and yet, they couldn't give more respect and effort into the collection.
What a terrible company.

Minute Man 721172d ago (Edited 172d ago )

Are they counting every game?

Edit: they did

Nyxus172d ago

Yes, these are total lifetime sales of the entire series.

ApocalypseShadow172d ago

.... mostly with the help of PlayStation.

Get that Sony tramp stamp while you're at it. No one asked

Yea I don’t get why they’re allowing old reviews to be posted here. Someone did one on Soul Reaver and I got so excited thinking there was some stealth release of an HD Remaster, but no… it’s just someone who had a slow day posted an old review…

Cacabunga188d ago

I liked the game but for me it felt somehow like a military simulator rather than a proper MGS.. i got bored of that

micdagoat19188d ago

I do wish they would remaster all the soul reavers

micdagoat19188d ago

it was done this morning though

goldwyncq188d ago

The author was in a coma for 9 years and didn't get to play the game when it released.

Chocoburger188d ago

This review arrived just in time for launch. Perfect timing!

RupeeHoarder188d ago

Amazing how bad this game looks already. We keep acting like this gen doesn't feel like an update but I think we're starting to see it.

YourMommySpoils188d ago

Looks better than Starfield, Cyberpunk and most recent games out. Still fine.

RupeeHoarder188d ago

It most certainly does not lol.

andy85188d ago

Have you player Cyberpunk since the first day? It's absolutely stunning now

1nsomniac188d ago

One of the worst games ever made. Absolute overhyped trash!

Snowb420188d ago

The gameplay was great. It was the tacked on open world and repetitive missions that messed the game up.

Shane Kim188d ago

The game started really strong in that hospital, but after a couple of hours I wondered if it was even an mgs game I was playing.

KyRo187d ago

The hospital section was the only bit that felt like a MGS game.

MGS4 was the ending for me. I totally ignore the fact 5 exists. It didn't need to exist tbh
