Update:
The conspiracy theorists at NeoGAF are rounding up hints that further support the Metal Gear Solid V theory. [url=http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=503254]Check out the thread[/url]—and the animated GIF below—there.

[quote]Kotaku editor-in-chief Stephen Totilo is out in L.A. for the Spike Video Game Awards. And he's dug up some evidence that appears to support the theory that the mysterious Phantom Pain game is in fact another Metal Gear title.

The moody trailer for The Phantom Pain took everyone by surprised when it aired on Friday night and theories immediately started spinning about what it could portend. Upon seeing the logo, Totilo spoke to the gentleman pictured below about the shirt he was wearing. This conversation happened at a Konami party. Moreover, the mystery man said that he designed the shirts for the Moby Dick dev outfit. When Totilo replied by saying that Moby Dick wasn't a real studio, Shirt Guy just laughed.

Konami, of course, publishes the Metal Gear games and this man's presence at a Konami fete could mean that the Phantom Pain trailer could be teasing Ground Zeroes or even Metal Gear Solid 5. Consider, too, these images sent in by tipster Nil Zero. The theory here is that a Metal Gear Solid V logo is lurking in plain sight. Active camo, anyone?

According to Totilo, no one affiliated with Konami is talking. But, then again, maybe they don't need to.[/quote]

Just the guy tripping out, Probably meant to confuse you but it'll no doubt make sense if you play the entire game.

NANOMACHINES
But why would they start putting out secret teasers for MGS5 when Ground Zeroes hasn't released anything beyond one trailer?
Is Ground Zeroes a hoax too?

Psycho Mantis is alive between MGS3 and MGS1.

Yup that sounds like Metal Gear Solid.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do it like MGS2 with Tank and Plant Chapter or MGS3 with Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater.

You're going to have to explain this to me.
I haven't even played a Metal Gear Solid game, I'm just intrigued by them.
Trailer looks like it's done in Fox engine too.

This might be a prequel to the main events of the game, included in the same game, MGS2 had the Tanker Chapter which laid out the story for the Plant Chapter, MGS3 had the Virtuous Mission which laid out the story for Operation Snake Eater.
So Phantom Pain might lay out the story for Ground Zeroes.
Kojima sure knows how to hype a game.
I remember seeing the trailer for this and thinking it was metal gear solid. In my opinion, the graphics scream metal gear. Really hope it is MGS5. Trailer looked amazing.
I am even more PSYCHED

ground zeroes is prequel to mgs5.
[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;38758399]ground zeroes is prequel to mgs5.[/QUOTE]
how about we just call ground zeroes mgs5 and call mgs5 mgs6
that's like saying "why not call peace walker mgs4 and mgs4 mgs5?"
This looks pretty awesome.

Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain confirmed to be MGS5 Chapters.
It actually makes sense if you think about it.

Not to mention that, who I assume is the main character, has a mullet and the bandage forms an eyepatch/bandana. It would appear that the character is likely Big Boss.
while not confirmed by konami it self,its pretty obvious this is mgs related

oh my
Seemed obvious at the end of the video - but did anyone else see Volgin, or someone that looked like him during it?
To me, the main part of the trailer that linked it to MGS was the beard on the main character. And the scarring obviously. It's too much a resemblance to Big Boss to be a generic war veteran character.
Interesting trailer either way, it does seem more like some whacked out fever dream than something actually happening because of the enemies (the Volgin looking motherfucker, with fire).
Senseless, but interesting.
Pretty sure that the whale in the trailer was a joke alluding to the games developers, Moby Dick Studios.
Well, Ground Zeros is suppose to feature a system that allows you to escape after being captured...
This was a really cool way to do this. But, if this was actual new game... man that trailer was horrible. It was like six minutes and every four seconds a black screen with white text "WHY CAN'T I MOVE?? WHY IS THIS HOSPITAL UNDER ATTACK? WHY CAN'T I SEE?"
laughable
