who on earth suggested chico is quiet?
i mean last i checked ,wasnt he a boy?

Batzi4020d ago

4CHAN made a joke but GAF made it possible.

crimsonfox4020d ago (Edited 4020d ago )

@Vishmarx It's a whole thing man...If you got 12 minutes. Check this out http://www.youtube.com/watc...

I'm really glad they are 2 seperate people though. It would really have been hard to take in. It'd be to damn silly. Chico better come back and whoop Skull face's ass.

Gazondaily4020d ago

Omg almost had a heart attack. If Quiet was Chico....then...the things I did..I ah....omg..phew.

Okay so Quiet is all woman. Good.

hkgamer4020d ago

a lot of online theories, some on youtube are pretty convincing. made it seem plausible.

crxss4019d ago

It was a garbage theory to begin with. Sorry.

Lmao I thought Quiet was a silent character ? Guess not since she has a actress.

Ratty4020d ago (Edited 4020d ago )

I don't know if she talks at some point but she has an actress after who she's modeled after and that actress also does facial and body capture for the scenes.

Edit: It's in the article o_o;

Chapter114020d ago

She's just the motion capture actress as far as I know.

@crimsonfox

wow...thanks for that, i heard about chico being quiet but dismissed that as some internet troll but that youtube vid had some compeling stuff

My_Outer_Heaven4020d ago (Edited 4020d ago )

With what happens to Chico in Ground Zeroes.. perhaps it's enough for him to cut out his own tongue and cut off his penis and become a woman so the enemy can never use his words against him or force him to rape someone.

I found this character development completely plausible and it seems almost every character in MGSV has lost a part of themselves... hence the name The Phantom Pain. Let's not forget that Kojima said people will feel bad and eat there words when they learn the truth about Quiet and her reason for dressing the provocative way she does.

hkgamer4020d ago

agreed. i mean i was prety convinced. i mean the stuff chico has gone through makes a lot of sense.

would have been a waste to have a pretty girl be a boy though. probably would have made her modelling career (if she has one) go down the drain.

goldwyncq4020d ago

People ACTUALLY believed that? If Chico's Quiet, then Otacon is Skullface.

My_Outer_Heaven4020d ago (Edited 4020d ago )

Chico being Quiet is plausible if you look at a lot of the evidence within Ground Zeroes, the physical resemblance among many other things. The Otacon is skull face comment is stupid and also impossible because Huey Emmerich the father of Hal Emmerich is actually present in the Phantom Pain trailer. Notice also that there is no sign of Chico in The Phantom Pain? I doubt Kojima will just kill that character off after the helicopter crash in Ground Zeroes, if Big Boss and Master Miller survive I'm sure Chico did too and I bet he really did become Quiet. It's just like Kojima to add these twists in his games even if actors dismiss the theory. Actors and actresses do lie to preserve spoilers... lets not forget the How I Met Your Mother actress Cristin Milioti dismissed rumors of her mother character actually being dead which turned out to be a lie because she was indeed dead when the final episode aired. Actor's and actresses lie... to preserve the story and increase fan theory and speculation. http://www.hollywoodreporte...

goldwyncq4020d ago

No offense but I think you're reading way too much into things. Physical resemblance alone does not make 2 characters the same person. The theory is beyond bizarre even by Kojima's standards. Why on earth would Chico have a sex change after what happened in Ground Zeroes?

My_Outer_Heaven4020d ago (Edited 4020d ago )

Why would Chico have a sex change? Play Ground Zeroes, listen to all the tapes. Listen to what Chico says. Look at his wishes for the future.. Did you know that Chico wants to be a hunter. Hunters use rifles. Quiet uses a sniper rifle.
Why would MSF torture Quiet in the Phantom Pain trailer? Remember that Skull Face knows Big Boss was at the military base to rescue Chico. Skull Face used the diversion to destroy mother base.

Listen to the tapes... Chico was tortured and forced to rape Paz and he doesn't want to be forced to do that ever again... removing his penis is the best way to stop him from raping someone again and removing his tongue will insure he can not speak and give away Intel to the enemy.

Paz also tells Chico to "Just be quiet" in one of the tapes because his words would cause more trouble. Chico becoming a woman aka Quiet could be reason enough to prevent him from ever being forced to rape someone again.

Is it not too far fetched to believe that Chico after being forced to rape Paz that it would have serious physiological issues which might cause him to want to start over as someone else perhaps even start again as a woman to honor his love for Paz?

It's not reading too much into it at all its looking at the evidence when playing the game. It's looking at the twitter posts that the director Kojima has said which hint that Quiet has a much bigger arc than others realize and that people will feel bad when they realize why Quiet dresses the way she does.

I hope Quiet is Chico because it would certainly make a lot of sense if it was true.. and all the hints in ground zeroes and peace walker about Chico would seem pointless if there was not some truth to it.

Kojima is a smart man and will always find ways to push the medium by doing things others haven't done before even if its treads on a lot of taboos that might offend or educate people.

Ground Zeroes will be his most mature game. He told VG247′s Dave Cook at an event in London today, “I’m going to be treading a lot of taboos, and a lot of mature themes that really are quite risky.

KonsoruMasuta4020d ago

Quiet is modeled after the person doing the mocap and facial capture for her (Obviously).

Any resemblance she has to any characters in the series is purely coincidental. Her face is just the face of the person doing the mocap.

My_Outer_Heaven4020d ago

Actor's lie to preserve secrets

I still feel strongly that Quiet is a transsexual that used to be Chico because the events of Ground Zeroes forced him to remove his own tongue and penis so he could never again let his words hurt someone or let his body be used to rape someone.

It's just like Kojima to add these plot twists and character development into his games and if your still not satisfied just look at the following image for all the evidence.

hkgamer4020d ago

also explains why quiet got tortured in one of those scenestrailer shows huey and quiet get tortured. makes sense that they got tortured for being traitors.

CoPilot: Gaming Chat is an amazing revelation - A true gamer friend at your side

CG writes: In this video, we take Microsoft's Copilot for a spin and talk about gaming and AI influences, and the implications of that. We talked about a possible Metal Gear Solid V remaster, Deus Ex remaster, Hitman Blood-Money mission, and more. Imagine trying to talk gaming with non-gaming friends in real-life and after 5 seconds, they switch off and possibly yawn. Well, CoPilot isn't like that, instead it's like talking to a like-minded gaming fan who is totally on your level. The public version of CoPilot released in Feb 2023 and already it's become almost indistinguishable from a real person.

Metal Gear Solid 5, Nearly After A Decade, Is Still A Timeless Classic

The Metal Gear series, led by Kojima, pioneered the stealth genre, creating a masterclass in storytelling and gameplay.

SimpleSlave360d ago (Edited 360d ago )

No. But MGS5: Ground Zeroes might actually be one of the greatest Game Demo ever, if not the best.

xHeavYx360d ago

I know a lot of people didn't, but I actually liked that story twist at the end. The game was fun and all, but I wouldn't call it a timeless classic.

Cacabunga359d ago

Metal Gear legend stopped with number 4.
MGS5 needed a year or 2 more of development to be maybe among the classics.. it was clearly rushed, especially at the end. The story teaches us absolutely nothing new.

just_looken360d ago

A demo is free that was a $40 cry for help as later we would know konami did not want to fun hideo and his team anymore that is why we got the unfinished phantom pain.

-Foxtrot360d ago (Edited 360d ago )

Meh

Great stealth gameplay but the game was just average.

Bland open world that felt lifeless, the story felt shoehorned in, unfinished story etc. The whole thing was just average to me compared to the other main titled games.

I would have rather preferred it if they kept Ground Zeroes for the main game as the opening and the rest of the game turns into a Metal Gear 1 & 2 remake to bring things full circle.

just_looken360d ago

If you dig around they had old behind trhe scenes of phantom pain vids and books wrote around the time.

Before funding was puled the main idea was to keep peace walker coop it was in the games early builds and that end game were your building your base that was suppose to be metal gear one.

You as the fake big boss was going to make your own metal gear one map aka your base (outer heaven) then me as sold snake use the mode that is in the game invade/defeat the base even fight your current version of metal gear that was in the game but not finished.

So your idea was on the table bit got canned.

CrimsonWing69360d ago (Edited 360d ago )

Like hell it is. That was the first time I became aware of being sold an unfinished game and was blown away about blind fanboys saying it was some perfect game.

Yea, the first few chapters were great until they do that thing halfway and make you replay all the missions again. Then little things like capturing animals but only seeing a JPEG unlike 3 where everything was modeled out. Areas were massive, desolate, and boring to look at.

Game was a massive let down for me and the potential was so high for it. Honestly, this was one of the most disappointing games I ever played. What’s worse is it starts off brilliant. You literally play through until you get to the point where you could tell they just stopped developing and then quickly used glue and construction paper to “finish” it and then sold it. Quite frankly, that’s insulting to consumers and fans.

Inverno360d ago

People have selective memory. This game had huge drama attached to it, what Konami did to Kojima and this game was horrible. Now they praise Konami cause they revived Silent Hill, even though SH looks half arsed too.

CrimsonWing69360d ago

I dunno if they’re getting much praise after the Silent Hill 2 debacle. Makes me scared sh*tless for the MGS 3 Remake…

Michiel1989359d ago

I don't wanna defend konami, but Kojima had 7 years to make the game, it's not that weird for a publisher to expect a game to be finished in that amount of time.

Also no one is praising konami from what I've seen, they're just excited that a Silent Hill game is releasing

CrimsonWing69358d ago (Edited 358d ago )

@Michiel1989

You’re absolutely correct. Look, the dude is a visionary and has brought us some incredible games, but he constantly would go over budget and could never stick to a deadline. I don’t know if people remember the MGS 4 trailers but it became a joke when you’d see a release date and then they crossed it out in the next trailer to give another.

What a lot of people don’t know is there’s a certain amount of money given for development and marketing. When you go over the budget and add additional marketing over the deadline it isn’t cheap. MGS GZ and V were laughable to me for the amount of time he had to develop them and he spent even more time on the engine that wasn’t anything revolutionary to me. I mean, GZ was nothing more than a demo and they released that art like $40 I think, probably to further help fund V. He then spent money for Kiefer Sutherland who did nothing for the character, which I think Kojima just wanted because he’s a fan.

Konami just had enough and said this is the deadline and you’re done after this. It’s business, but fans took it personal. I mean look at this Overdose game he’s been doing.,, like when is that ever coming out?

Michiel1989358d ago

I kind of forgot about overdose but yeah exactly my thoughts. He has made some of the best games out there and definitely deserves time to create his new masterpiece, but it's not a bottomless well.

This is pure speculation but I imagine he got around 4 years to make the game excluding pre-production. If after those 4 years the game is nowhere near being done, the relationship will be strained between them one way or another.

about the konami being praised thing, if let's say blizzard announces world of warcraft 2 today I'll be excited as hell for the game, but that doesn't mean my opinion of blizzard changes only a tiny bit cause they're still trash.

Yui_Suzumiya359d ago

Yeah, it was the only MGS I didn't play and this is coming from someone who got back into gaming after skipping a generation due to MGS4 back in 2008. It just seems to be the complete opposite of the MGS I always knew and loved (1-4).

JEECE360d ago

Yes and no. In many ways in was a great game; there's a very strong argument that it has the best gameplay of any MGS game, and that it is one of the more interesting open world "playgrounds" we have gotten, in terms of how the world operates. But as an MGS narrative, it is pretty far down the list, for many reasons.

Storm23360d ago

I don't think there is any argument. The gameplay was incredible. But yeah...disappointed in the rest. Could have been incredible but...well...we all know what happened...

JEECE358d ago

I don't think there is much of one either but apparently some people found the world very boring compared to the more linear structures of other entries so I didn't make a definitive statement in order to acknowledge the outliers.

DarXyde359d ago

The thing about Metal Gear Solid is that the narrative is what determines which is your favorite because the gameplay had ALWAYS improved with every mainline entry. It's amazing.

If it was gameplay, we'd all say The Phantom Pain, but the story is what truly sets them apart.

For me, that's Snake Eater, which is also my favorite game of all time.

JEECE358d ago

That's my favorite too, particularly if we are talking about the subsistence version with camera control.

Fishy Fingers360d ago

For me, best gameplay, worst, everything else.

Storm23360d ago

Yeah...gameplay was so damn good.
