Collector's Edition Revealed!


Information updated here.
                                                     


So apparently, MGSV will "close the loop" for Metal Gear. For the millionth time, Kojima states that this will be his final MG game.

Quote

In the video, Kojima suggests this will be his final Metal Gear Solid game.

“With Metal Gear Solid 5, I’m finally closing the loop on that saga,” he said (via Polygon). “In that sense, this will be the final Metal Gear Solid.

“Even if the Metal Gear franchise continues, to me, this is the last Metal Gear.”

After Kojima finishes speaking, the video shows the September 1 release date for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC at the end.


My thoughts.

It's kind of bitter-sweet that The Phantom Pain is coming out. I mean, on the one hand, I have a feeling it's going to fulfill Kojima's dream for the series. But on the other hand, he's "finishing" the series in his eyes. It's a damn shame, honestly. I know he says "this is my last Metal Gear" all the time but it feels like he means it this time... IDK, only time will tell.
Also, I totally called that the CE would have a prosthetic arm.

Wouldn't it make more sense to take a day off when it launches, rather than for an announcement?

Well don't you normally have a limited number of vacation days you can take?
It would make more sense to me to take the extra days off when it launches <.<

Yeah but Metal Gear is the most important thing in my life. My education and career take a back seat to it.

I hear it's rumored that Venom Snake might be Punished Snake in disguise. Don't tell anyone though.

Also, I'd be both amused and furious if Kojima's special message was that he was cancelling the game.

To be fair, he really does want to end the series. He's basically getting dragged along when all he wants to do is work on something else now.

He's a perfectionist. He doesn't want to leave MGS behind until he creates the perfect game.

Not to mention, he has big plans for Big Boss regarding possible remakes and retcons where Big Boss is the main character in MGS 1 2 and 3.

He's going to announce a pair of shoes that you get if you use the sprint button too often. I fucking promise you.

The last MGS announcement turned out to be a fucking fashion collection

I'm keeping my hopes low. I really hope I'm surprised.

I get taking days off to play a video game, I've done it before and can't say I'm proud of it. But taking a day off to hear news about a game? Maybe that's a little beyond dedication.
Don't you get a break or something? If you have a desk job you can check up on it while you work.

...How would he be the main character in 1 and 2? He's dead at the time (kind of). It'd take some very creative writing to plausibly make him a participant in those games.

That's what he's saying. He would retcon EVERYTHING after The Phantom Pain so he can "reboot" the series with BB as the protagonist.

Can't say I'd be against it. He obviously prefers Big Boss to Solid Snake/Raiden.

You are just beginning to understand my obsession with Metal Gear.

That's a bit unhealthy, dude.  Assuming you're working an average 9-5 or so job, then you're ditching all of that to watch what could end up being 5-10 minutes of footage, which will be there when you get home.

At the very least, when the game is actually out, you're going to wish you could spend that extra day playing, instead of speculating and obsessing on forums.

Only Metal Gear game I ever played was Sons of Liberty, and I didn't finish it because I had no idea what was going on.

But MGSV looks really cool, I might try Ground Zeroes or the HD collection before it comes out.

Also I like kojima, Ameriboos are always funny people.

Ground Zeroes is excellent. It's just easy enough for it to be picked up by a beginner, but just difficult enough to separate the men from the boys.

Only issue is the asking price for new, which is around $20 USD. I think $10-15 is more worth it, tbh.

If you really want to get acquainted with MGSV's setting before-hand, the must-plays are MGS3, MGSPO, MGSPW, and MGS4. Oh, and Ground Zeroes. Obviously.

Yeah, it's unhealthy. Fortunately, I don't really care. I'm taking a week off when this game is released, IDGAF. It's Metal Gear.

I really doubt there will be much new footage, and if there is, the big "news" they're talking about will likely be a release date.

So what's the point, then?  Does spending 2 minutes reading an article warrant skipping multiple hours of work?

Yes. Because I get to read it first.

I don't think you understand how much I love Metal Gear.

I'll get it maybe, if I can.

I'd never take days off for games though.

But I am indeed.

Agreed.
Skipping school when the game releases I get, but skipping it for a few minutes segment of news that you could read up on your phone whilst at school is a little pathetic and over all retarded.
