Huh? Its a prequel to 5... but it is a sequel to peace walker

That means MGS5 could be the beginning of Solid Snake!

@ Nimblest-Assassin

I think it's going to be a sequel to peace walker. In the trailer they showed they kept talking about Paz alot
bunfighterii  +   290d ago
yeah def a sequel to Peace Walker- in the trailer Snake's mission was to rescue Paz and Chico- who look like they'd been captured by the CIA.

Notice Metal Gear Solid hits the top of every 'most popular' list on the internet, whenever there is a new game launched? Article after article showing the exact same thing, all with just tiny tid bits of new info, this really is the biggest franchise in gaming that gets the most people talking. Long live Metal Gear Solid!!!!
ThanatosDMC  +   290d ago
^Yup, they talked about saving Paz and Chico. Paz probably still looks the same since Chico is still looking like a little boy. But why did Big Boss or "Vic Boss" age so much? Anyway, im expecting a sex scene between Big Boss and the little girl named Paz. They cant just do it in a box this time.

Box Time!

The new Big Boss face looks like a hybrid from MGS4's Big Boss and the MGS3 Big Boss.

Sounds like they're saving MGS5 for next gen.

More mgs to look forward to!!! <3
doogiebear  +   290d ago
Yep! And with less wait in-between them using it's toolkit, since the whole point of his new Fox Engine is to pump out games in less time, while being compatible with current and next gen hardware too!

Hell yes

Big boss has white hair so it might be set in the 80's

I hope no one takes this comment the wrong way...I really hope you guys don't but despite having both consoles I really, really hope MGS5 stays exclusively to the PS3. Kojima focused on the PS3 with MGS4 and he created a masterpiece I want him to do the same for MGS5 whether it's on the PS3 or the PS4.

Although if MGS Zeros does come to the 360 then I guess the chances of MGS5 being multiplatform are increased.

I wonder if we'll ever see a return of Snake again in MGS5. I wish they would make him young again...they could do anything with the things we've seen in the MGS universe.

Being that I own both consoles I could not care less if it is exclusive or not.

And this is on the 360 it shows you at the end of the video.

Agree , the more platforms the more time wasted and disc size more less ...

so it's better if it stays exclusive since mgs 4 stayed ...

But a pc version is always welcomed and it's not gonna be waste of time :P

What?
SAE  +   290d ago
sorry for my english mistakes , i'm toooo excited to think about fixing my words >.< ...

hope you get the meaning .
Jazz4108  +   290d ago
Please dont take this comment the wrong way but since metalgear solid 5 is most likley a next gen game i hope konami keeps this game multiplatform or who knows the 720 might blow the ps4 away and it might need to be exclusive to the 720 to get the best game possible. Metalgear has never had allegiance to one console as its been on every platform of the big three so far so I imagine it will stay that way unless $ony gets out its checkbook again but if I was Konami I would make sure I waited till that check cleared first.

Considering the position Sony is in, their cheque book will remain firmly in their pockets
BitbyDeath  +   290d ago
As long as the game is done properly it shouldn't matter and judging by the videos... it is.

Can't wait for this game i'm going to play through them all again starting with MGS1.
GunzBlazing09  +   290d ago
Let's see how it goes looking good so far... Sounds nice to hear from Kojima mouth tha he wants the similar experience like MGS1

Keep it up can't wait for Gameplay

Looking forward for PC release

p.s DX11? :D
Energy-HL  +   290d ago
Mod support? Might be asking lil' to much tho!
GunzBlazing09  +   290d ago
Now that we're talkin about!
vallencer  +   290d ago
I think if kojima saw that fans wanted mod support for a pc version I feel he would add it.
Raf1k1  +   290d ago
This new MGS game with Icenhancer mod. That could look pretty cool. Plus mod support opens up the door the some pretty cool machinima potential.
Ice Enhancer need no mod support when your a smart ass!

The crazy thing about next generation of games is that there will be graphics mods!

That looks awesome. No doubt about it.
PockyKing  +   290d ago
Hell yea it does! The stealth looks like what Splinter Cell "should" be to be honest haha. Ubisoft, take notes.
-Gespenst-  +   290d ago
Woah, did not see that coming. Didn't think mgs had that much left in it. Man this is awesome news, can't wait to see where they take it, gameplay wise and story wise.
DivineAssault  +   290d ago
thats awesome.. Good way to get familiar with the new tech before releasing the masterpiece.. Not that ground zeroes wont be great too but MGS5 im sure will own it

"Confirmed from @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN: #METALGEARSOLID: Ground Zeroes Is A Prologue To #METALGEARSOLID 5! #PAX pic.twitter.com/VOvfNmCx"

Prequel and Prologue are not the same thing
dontbhatin  +   290d ago
so pretty much since its a prologue then its not gonna be that big of a game? considering kojima means prologue is what happens right before chapter 1 of MGS5
christheredhead  +   290d ago
More Metal Gear is always a good thing and this does look really awesome.
ZeroChaos  +   290d ago
As long as it isn't set after the MGS4 I'm find with this game.
DarkBlood  +   290d ago
so

Mgs3 = 1
Peace wakler = 2
Ground Zeros = 3
MGS or Twin snakes= 4
MGS 2 = 5
MGS4 = 6

i dont get it which game is being referred to as MGS5 in terms of story not the development of the games?
realgamer890  +   290d ago
Actually, it'd be like:
1. MGS 3: Snake Eater
2. MGS: Portable Ops
3. Peace Walker
4. Ground Zeros
5. MGS/ Twin Snakes
6. MGS 2 as well as MG: Rising (doesn't it take place between MGS2 and MGS4?)
7. MGS4

Since Ground Zeroes is a prequel to MGS5, either MGS5 is gonna be about Solid Snake's beginnings or maybe it just shows how the events of MGS5 will come to be, based on something that Big Boss does in Ground Zeroes.
DarkBlood  +   290d ago
i see so mgs5 will be before twins snakes with ground zeroes leading to mgs5, thanks.

as for the rising thing it was suppose to take place between 2 and 4 but they wanted to make thier own story so it takes place after 4 in what you might as well call an alternate timeline so its not really official in the series
dontbhatin  +   290d ago
@ realgamer890

I agree!

so how i take it, ground zeroes means multiple zeroes (the very beginnings of solid snake and possibly liquid snake) seems to make sense in my head. if it takes place in the 80's that has to be around when it all started with solid snake and liquid snake. So i believe its going to explain everything about solid snakes beginning so the plot in MGS5 makes sense, cause its going to be about something that happened in his past.

Rising takes place after Metal Gear Solid 4 and tells the story of Raiden trying to feed his family by working for a PMC company. After he fails his mission and gets his old suit from MGS 4 damaged, he gets a new black suit that he needs to keep charged by stealing other cyborgs' power units since it uses a lot more power than his old one.

Can't wait to see more. Can't wait to play. So glad I invested in a gaming PC! Please oh please run well.
Unztayble  +   290d ago
this one will probably go into Gray Fox's story. Then MGS5 will be about Solid Snake. In my opinion.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAA
LongTimeNoSeeN4g  +   290d ago
Damn it, i'm excited but disappointed aswell. No backlean in this game? it's an open-world/free-roam game? Wtf? I just hope the story isn't as cheesy or melodramatic as mgs4s. I'm sorry if i anger the hardcore fangirls, but from a critical viewpoint, kojima needs to go back to his roots and use mgs3 and mgs1 as blueprints for a great script and gameplay. The sci-fi bullshit is becoming too prominent in this series. Don't get me wrong. I'm sure it'll be a badass game, but it could've been better.
CDzNutts  +   290d ago
I would've agreed with this statement if MGS3 didn't have so much Cold War-inspired, 30 minute per-scene rhetoric.
lilmetal  +   290d ago
This story is coming awfully close to the original Metal Gears'. I've been hoping for a MG 1+2 HD remake forever. This and MGS5 could be it, in a way.
Nate-Dog  +   290d ago
That's what I am presuming Kojima means by the "MGS5 will be a new beginning" thing, this is supposed to be the end of the constant Big Boss prequels so maybe that's it and then MG and MG2 remakes, or just one game to cover both of them presumably.
AllThingsShining  +   290d ago
Before they called it a prequel to MGS5 I had the feeling this would operate in the same way MGS2 did. So we'd have Big Boss doing a mission at the start which would last a few hours and then the main part of the game would be the rookie Solid Snake (like Raiden in 2) being sent in to take him down. I guess now though that this will show the events that led immediately up to the events of Metal Gear and that MGS5 will be a remake of Metal Gear and possibly Metal Gear 2 combined. Thoughts?
delosisland  +   290d ago
I'm sorry but the story better not be full on batshit crazy...
CDzNutts  +   290d ago
We keep on buying Metal Gear games. So yes. The story will be full on bathshit crazy. They wouldn't have any financial incentive not to make it so, as our wallets have continuously fed them the OK to make it this way.

zoks310  +   289d ago
Obviously, if BigBoss is the playable/lead character then it must be a prequel to the cannon series, no big surprise here.

It is actually a prequel to MGS:SS, MGS2:SOL, and finally MGS4:GOTP.
2pacalypsenow  +   283d ago
for the people who don't want the game to be full with cut scenes . Exactly what metal gear are you guys playing? That was the main concept of MGS since mgs1 in-game engine cut scenes
