First DLC for MGSV: The Phantom Pain announced: MGS3 themed costumes and horse outfits

During Tokyo Game Show 2015, Konami announced several downloadable costumes for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

[DarkOcelet]

Not three weeks have past and Konami announce dlc for the game. SMH.

Let the milking begin. I wouldnt be surprised if Chapter 3 was actually cut out and will be sold as expansion.

[-Foxtrot]

Would not be surprised...but then again even if it does idiots will buy it anyway.

"Hey Konami you've really become arseholes lately, with the way your treat Kojima and now your employees, MGSV will be the last game I ever...OOOOOO story DLC which was obviously cut....SOLD"

/s

[punctualdork]

"idiots will buy it anyway."

If people want it, they want it. You don't have to be childish.

[FunkyGoron]

How idiotic of me to buy something I'd enjoy/want.

Not saying Konami is great but geez, seems weird to call names based off what someone chooses to do with their own money they earned.

[InMyOpinion]

I doubt most of us have even finished 30% of the game yet. It's one of the most content packed games released this gen, and on top of that the completely free online component isn't even out yet.

In the other corner there's games, I mean schemes, like Destiny: The Taken King which are completely disgraceful. And you have the audacity to b*tch over some costumes after everything MGS 5 gave you in comparison?

[-Foxtrot]

@punctualdork

I'm sorry but if people are really sick of a way a company acts, not just Konami but people like Activision and EA yet go onto call them all sorts of names only to then buy as much DLC/MT etc as they can (despite the fact if they know it's been cut or held back).....well, I'm sorry but it's idiotic

How can you call a company, point out it's flaws and yet fuel the endless cycle which will lead that very same company to do the EXACT SAME THING with their next game

I'm sick of people pushing that constant cycle over and over.

In the end it makes peoples hypocrites.

[nosferatuzodd]

Idiots will buy it anyway

Look what bungie and activision did to destiny they gutted the game like a fish
And sold a demo for 60 bucks then sold the rest has dlc I don't hear you crying about that and calling none of those people idiots now do we

[TopDudeMan]

Didn't they learn from Oblivion? People didn't pay for horse armour then and are unlikely to pay for it now.

[-Foxtrot]

@nosferatuzodd

" I don't hear you crying about that and calling none of those people idiots now do we"

If you haven't heard me rant about Destiny for the past...well....since it launched then I'll have to ask, where the hell have you been?

[MysticStrummer]

You really need to stop pretending that what you think is worthy of a purchase sets the standard for everyone.

They announced optional cosmetic items, to go along with the optional coin things.

Let the whining begin. Oh wait it already did.

[Xman2K]

You stil hurt over the batman dlc you bought? Which was announced before the game released? Btw WB has been doing A LOT of shady dlc stuff(cough MkX),yet since DC or MK license I didn't hear this much backlash

[Sashamaz]

I would like a remove the horn DLC.

[Joe913]

Dark Ocelet is right the rumoured 3rd act that was dropped from the game will become $20 to $30 dlc. Dang foxtrot I think you was right back when GZ came out.

[Majin-vegeta]

I wonder if that's the fallout they had with Kojima.

[WitWolfy]

I seriously doubt that. Konami will have lawsuits up the ass from fans I can tell you that.

[deadpoolio316]

Really you think they had a fallout over DLC costumes LMAO.....

Common sense dictates more than likely it had to do with Kojima being super over budget, super over time with development(they delayed the game practically a year)after practically 5 years in development...

FACT people can blow Kojima all they want 100% that both sides are at fault...

[DanielGearSolid]

I'm no konami fan but cmon you're reaching here

These days publishers announce launch day dlc

[SuperBlunt]

Fallout,witcher,cod,battlefiel d,batman. All guilty

[Nitrowolf2]

That is true but its pretty bad when all this DLC has already been accessed on the PC version released theirs fragments of it in there

At super

I disagree with the Witcher it started with 16 weeks of free DLC I believe or something like that and then although they didn't announce DLC their expansion packs and you really can't argue for $24 you're getting too big expansion packs that are easily more content than any big retail games out there

[boodi]

they probably develope contents during the writing of the game , that eventually go in the dlc at a point

[Ozmoses]

So wait??? You can't even announce DLC after the game comes out now???

What about the ones that announce DLC before their game is even released to the public...

hmmm.... the latest offender seems to be Bethesda and Fallout 4..

but yeah... 3 weeks after MGS V is open to the world... Konami isn't allowed to announce any DLC plans...

talk about double standards...

[caseh]

How about the ones that offer pre-orders for DLC. :) Coz it's totally gonna sell out and you have to get dat order in before it's too late!

[LAWSON72]

Big difference this is cash in fandom skin packs for something that could be free. Meanwhile Fallout has a long history of worthwhile DLC and the season pass will actually cover all future content at a decent price as well.

GTA and Witcher are great examples of why this is stupid content that should be free.

[assdan]

People are going to bitch about DLC no matter what the time frame is.

[BG11579]

Well at least we know now why Quiet was practically naked, her clothing was DLC!!!

[shammgod]

wait, i thought Kojima and team were out...how is this being created?

Of course, cause it is stripped from the game to begin with.

[ColonelHugh]

By that logic they've already patched the game fully and are slowly leaking it. someone is still fiddling with content, right?

Skeleton crews stay on for games until they announce the end of support

[FunkMacNasty]

This DLC reminds me of the Fable "horse armor" DLC that caused a stir years back...

Seems like a rip off unless it's free content... Big boss is ready able to wear green/black tiger stripe fatigues, as well as the ground zeroes sneaking suit and the solid snake black/grey sneaking suit. I don't need a tuxedo nor horse outfits...

[Yi-Long]

I believe you're thinking about the Oblivion horse-armour DLC.

[Dragonking007]

Im going to give them every cent in my pocket just because your comment

[pivotplease]

Worst.

[RedDevils]

Haha what a sheep

[sullynathan]

Fallout 4 announces dlc before release, Witcher 3 announces dlc before release - no problem

MGSV announces dlc after release - Konami is bad

[LAWSON72]

Skin packs that could be free, but no Konami has to cash in on the MGS3 fandom.

Fallout 4s DLC is about much more than cash in skin packs.

[AstroCyborg]

better then announcing the dlc 6 months before the game even drops like with every other game

[SnotyTheRocket]

Fallout 4 announced it before the games even out. Nobody cared because Bethesda.

[pivotplease]

All games get DLC pretty quickly these days, so this is by no means blasphemous. I think it's a waste of money for this stuff personally, but at least it's not a 40 dollar season pass or running on a Destiny model (2 "expansions" followed by a legitimate expansion combined with a rerelease).

[bondsmx]

Yeah, but it's some stupid skins. Who cares??
It's trivial. Doesn't add to the game at all.
Now, if it was the announcement of the "rumored" chapter 3 to the game, then we the players have every right to be pissed.
But a couple of skins for snake and D-horse, who cares ya know.

[Wickerman1972]

All this DLC stuff would have crashed and burned shortly after it began had people not bought it. But people did buy it and they continue to buy it so it's gonna keep getting worse and worse. They're gonna keep pushing it further and further until they discover what can't work and so far it's appearing that there's no ceiling. Lots of criticism, sure. But they don't care about that. Only lack of sales will curtail it.

[FPS_D3TH]

Are you guys dense? Most games announce DLC before the game came out. Holy hell some of you guys are really butthurt over a great game. You make entirely no goddamn sense. Especially foxtrot

[garos82]

i wont buy it if it is not produced and directed by Hideo Kojima.

[Lord_Sloth]

Well at least it's only cosmetics so far. Nothing I'll be buying.

[Spenok]

The hypocrisy is hilarious with this. People are bitching left and right because of what happened with Kojima, and don't get me wrong, I'm upset about that too. But when other big name developers do THIS EXACT SAME THING, and in some cases announce the DLC/Expansion packs before the games are released (Looking at most recently The Witcher 3) no one bats an eye, and even loves them for it.

Again, I'm just as upset as everyone else over the way Konami handled the whole situation, and I can't see a future of MGS without Kojima. ALSO that The Witchers DLC is slightly different in that it was free, however, they had DLC the next week, and everyone knew it would months before the game came out.

[Chocoburger]

Calm down, it's just costumes, does it really hurt that much to have optional costumes in a video game? If the price is cheap, then its not a big deal, but if they're $3 each costume (or more!) then its total crap.

I would have preferred for these to be in the game originally, but companies want to milk us for all we're worth these days.

[DarkOcelet]

You have said it yourself mate, you would have preferred them to be in the game. They should have been in the game or they could simply given it to us for free just like CDProjeckt.

[SuperBlunt]

Not surprised. Only thing i want would be the boss' outfit. Odds are id have to buy the ten dollar (assuming) pack as a whole. Lol horse armor

[Giru017]

Boss and EVA costumes are for Quiet only :(

[SuperBlunt]

Oh they ARE for her? I could have sworn they were for female soldiers. Hmmm...

[lsujester]

You're wanting to see Ocelot in EVA's uniform, aren't you?

[ecchiless]

Isujester man bubble for funny xD

[PhucSeeker]

Nope! They are for female playable characters.

[Sevchenko211]

I don't believe you, Giru017.

[Giru017]

Not sure why I'm getting all the disagrees. They showed off the costumes for Snake and the other costumes were for D-Horse and Quiet. But sure, keep disagreeing...

[Wickerman1972]

$10 for digital outfits for fictional characters ... and you might buy it. Just wow.

[SuperBlunt]

Fanboyism knows no bounds

[Spenok]

Where did you get that price? The article specifically states; "No Pricing or Launch dates have been announced."

@SuperBlunt, Fanboyism false information without any facts knows no bounds.

[Summons75]

I want the Tux for Big Boss and the EVA suit for Quiet!

[tablecloth]

You can already get the Eva suit for Quiet
Edit: Wait that was Sniper Wolf, my bad.

[Baka-akaB]

Nope not gonna purchase this . I don't even use most of the ground zeroes costums yet , and even if i didnt ... not going to pay any dlc and bonus for MGSV

[Giru017]

lol @ Konami LITERALLY doing Horse Armor... oh how the mighty have fallen.

[DanteVFenris666]

Theres already bourse armour in the game. So it's just skins for said bourse armour. Not needed in any way so why complain

[Spenok]

It's just people trying to find things to bitch about because of the whole Kojima/Konami situation. They will complain about anything. Even, and especially unwarranted things such as this.

[Toiletsteak]

I am enjoying this game but it gets so repetitive, i honestly don't think it deserves 10's but that is just my opinion.

[JoakimMogren]

every game is repetitive in its own way, witcher 3 with its fetch quests, batman ak with its same enemies encounters etc, MGSV is repetitive if you make it repetitive, their so many weapons and tactics to use in all the missions that i still find new ways to do missions

[thricetold]

Still didn't stop reviews from bashing one game for being repetitive yet ignoring it in tpp. Also the same can said about every other repetitive game, there are so many ways to approach a mission, it's up to the players to dictate how they approach it, just like in tpp.

[Paytaa]

Witcher 3 fetch quests? You mean DA:I?

[Baka-akaB]

It's not even that repetitive if when tired you just do the main missions instead .

[madjedi]

Can some show me one game that is not repetitive, where you don't do the same thing 100,000 over and over through the missions or in the map or stages.

This is a lazy cop out response, if it gets repetitive play another game, very simple.

[Antifan]

It got 10s because of Konami's crappy boot camp

[WitWolfy]

Remember the days when we all couldnt wait for MGS 5 to release??? Talking among each other on how this game is gonna be Konjima's curtain call, his magnum opus?

Yeah, I miss those days too...

[SuperBlunt]

I dont. I finally have the game and im far from disappointed

[Baka-akaB]

And a crap dlc costume pack changes this how exactly ?

[WitWolfy]

He probably faps on Quiets humming too!

[MysticStrummer]

I've been having too much fun with the game to think about what happened before release. Awesome fun.

Can't wait for Metal Gear Online!

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[madjedi]

It has me putting as much time as fallout and skyrim usually do, I think your in the minority. ^5 hours and still loving it.

[dimasok]

Not buying any of this garbage. I am sure it can be datamined and added through a mod anyways.

My days of handing money to Konami ended after the purchase of PP. Ce la vie.

[Baka-akaB]

Yeah pretty much , Konami will have to make it truly hard for me to not just skip their future games past Phantom Pain . And i mostly see them making it incredibly easy lately

[RedDevils]

Unless they decided to release Suikoden :)

[Kalebninja]

Looks like one of those removed content parts found in the game data was this dlc.

[DoomeDx]

Horse? After you unlock D-walker, the horse becomes useless. I never touched the horse anymore

[DanteVFenris666]

It's still very useful. It's crap can make vehicles spin out of control. Also for role play purpose. The bourse also can jump over obstacles. May be a bit faster. And you can shoot whatever weapon you have on it

[Baka-akaB]

The horse seems quite useless to cover long distance get S rank at leasts . And remain silent compared to a jeep .

[Baka-akaB]

Doesn't seem quite useless , obviously

[SlightlyRetarted]

I use it when i go do multiple side ops's. Fast way to complete a mission and then use it to move to the next location.

[MysticStrummer]

I use the horse far more than D-Walker, but Quiet and D-Dog are easily the most generally useful imo.

That's part of the beauty of the game though, lots of options that significantly change gameplay so you can mix things up for fun or as needed.

[JMyers]

Hmmmm... It could be worse. They could announce the DLC before the game is released. No one has to buy this...

[DerekFlint007]

I would like to see a Safari download dlc pack that adds larger game animals to either hunt down or extract to a certain location.

Also adding the Triumph motorcycle as an extra usable vehicle would be nice.

[curtis92]

Get ready for a whole lot more of "HEY DO YOU REMEMBER...." DLC from Konami. Because living in the past is all they have left now.

[brokenbracket]

The only DLC for any game, ever, should be additional missions or an extension to the main story. Cosmetic stuff, weapons, etc should be free in my opinion. CDProjekt has the right idea.

[Kalebninja]

This gives us classic outfits from MGS3 and extras for D-Horse, not singular outfits for characters we don't even use. Just because one company decides to give some free DLC doesn't mean other companies are wrong for not doing so. Anyone who bought the game got what they paid for and they aren't entitled to anything extra.

[PickAShoe]

sigh.... okay.... how much?

[yewles1]

...it's like horse armor all over again.

[GreetingsfromCanada]

Insert horse armour comments

[Unyoked]

I want to play MgsV but I have so much hw

[Valenka]

Spoiler alert: it's ironic, considering that Phantom Pain's story states that Quiet is half-naked because she breathes through her skin, and yet there are DLC outfits for her that basically cover everything but her cleavage.

Makes sense.

[Jerry Seinfeld]

Makes as much sense as having a mecha metal gear rex 20 years before the original rex.

[RedDevils]

There should be a costume that make here nude LMAO

[formanbradley]

Have fun never getting another penny from me until the cut story content is released, if ever. :) Thanks for crapping on my all time favorite series right on the last title.

[Jerry Seinfeld]

I share your disappointment.

[Ogygian]

Well it's not like they left out MGS3 costumes from the base game.

I remember a time when expansion packs were a thing, and people were happy to pay for devs continuing to work on and expand the games they love. Now everyone seems to demand that devs sell it for its base price, patch it, and then either continue to work on it for free, or move on to the next game.

Some DLC releases are unacceptable. This is not one of them. The game is complete without it.

[Jerry Seinfeld]

What? No it is not. Episode 51? Chapter 3?

[jay2]

No thanks.

[kotaku77]

This is one of the best games I ever played; I can't understand some of the hate is getting. Of course you are entitled to dislike the game, but when I read things like "I've been playing for 100 hours now is BORING!!" I mean, can you get more stupid than that? boy you've been playing 100 hours PLUS the same freaking game...
And I'm not even a Kojima fanboy, I don't like MGS2, I Love MGS3, never played MGS1, I hated w/ all my heart MGS4;
People complaining about the story omg, go watch the 9 hours youtube video compilation of MGS4, you got more than enough there.
I think I can see Konami's point of view now, it's pointless to make excellent AAA games anymore. Let's pachinko!

[fathertime1980]

You lnow there is a sense of irony here in these pists right? I see a lot of talk on boycotting konami, however you do already own the game right? Well most of ya do. Yo see the real hypocrisy is how many own an applar product?(staff treated so bad the building is surrounded by a net). Nike anybody?(child and near slave labor) diamond jewelry?(well lets just say for most its not a job, it's hell).

Truth is yall really don't care, your commenting just to, to chim in, or because that human part says well ya did something. Truth is, I don't care either. So lets stop playing innocent, complaining, or what ever else you all are doing and just get back to playing our games and leave political and corporate crap the real news forums. Thanks

[Mikeyy]

What's this about chapters being cut from the game? Somebody have a link?

Also selling optional outfits and skins isn't a crime. World of warcraft sells mounts for $25 a peice. And they sell, well.

[ChipChipperson]

It was more of an unfinished chapter/mission, which unfortunately didn't make it into the final game. It's unfortunate because it's much more of an "appropriate" ending to finish a part of the plot line that involved Eli and his gang of child soldiers, Tretij Rebenok and the "weapon(s)" Skullface was planning to use; if you're a fan of series, you already know who Eli and Tretij are. Depending on where you and other players are in the plot, it's way better than the final scene of Eli and the others we were left with because it ended up raising unanswered questions. Thankfully, this scene/concept of Mission 51 was available on a blu-ray included with the collector's edition and provides the answers. Whether it was planned to be cut or if it was cut as the result of the ongoing behind the scenes stuff with Kojima, crew and Konami, is unclear at the moment. Here's a link to Kotaku that talks about it and obviously, spoilers: http://kotaku.com/one-of-me...

[generationjeu]

Before costumes were unlocked. Fuck you Konami.

[benji101]

The game has costume unlocks though.. This is just extra crap.

[PhoenixUp]

I really want to play as the old Big Boss in his iconic trenchcoat. That would be an awesome character skin.

[ChipChipperson]

You have no idea how disappointed I was when I heard there was a leather coat costume, only to find out it was... well, if you got the true ending, you know which leather coat it was. I was really hoping it was the Foxhound trench coat that Big Boss and Foxhound during the Shadow Moses Incident were wearing.

[fitfox]

did they say horse armor?

[SegaGamer]

Oh look, DLC that should have been in the game from the beginning is going to be sold to us in bits. This is the worst thing about modern gaming, i miss the days where we could guarantee ourselves the full game when we bought it. These days we are just buying games in parts.

[Tzuno]

It's a trend now, people buy, people yell, who has the money can do it but i feel bad to know that i play a incomplete game from the start, with the release of new games it's hard to come back to a game just for a dlc.

[UNKLE]

And the worst of the worst punished snake is look like a demon yet he is not do any evil thing in mgsv because that part was cutted away from final release its missing the bomb attack when punished snake is crying in the village.

[TenorCleft1]

Hang on, if that much of Quiet's skin is covered, won't she suffocate?

Or does she only breathe through her boobs?

[Antifan]

People who actually buy this cosmetic junk has no life.

[Sevchenko211]

Now why say such a thing on a gaming website filled with people who would buy this. Are you looking for trouble troll? I can assume so. Fuck off please back to your troll cave and never step out of it.

[hobbitooo]

they should have a DLC to let us play as ocelot in some side mission
3mths later, they will launch MGO maps as DLC....
8((

[mixelon]

I wonder if the PC version of MGS5 is going to end up like KOTOR2, with fans attempting to recreate cut content and hacking in missing things?

Was there an entire map missing as well? That doesn't sound easy to put back. :( I've not played it yet.
