Metal Gear Solid - Tactical Megathread Action VIII - We Are Diamond Dogs! - Games

Damn, some of the info is quite juicy. The hospital spoilers are maybe too revealing.

Well, even if they're untrue, I'm not risking anything. Thought I'd have a bit more time before stuff like this would start popping up. Time to go dark on the MGS front.

if that Kaz thing is true that's definitely another thing Kojima's talking about reviewers eating him alive for when the game comes out because trust me, they will holy shit MGSV's theme is race... Kaz was bullied for his race it would make sense for something to tackle in the game...

The racism does fit with Kojima saying this is going to have a lot of taboo themes in it. A lot of people look back at the 80s and that times with nostalgia for the music, fashion, and action movies but people like to forget the racism and bloodshed

[QUOTE=Novangel;47877316]What? I'm not getting any race themes from GZ or TPP promotional materials.[/QUOTE] Kojima's talked less about race than revenge, but it's definitely a major theme. [url]https://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/342798547168686080[/url]

Here's a better picture kind of. [t]http://i.imgur.com/4AEj9a7.jpg[/t] Also that thing to the right of the Metal Gear is the butt of Snake's gun, so it really should look like this: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/YQkWXXI.jpg[/IMG]

Doh I thought quiet had a railgun :(

so is that the lovechild of Rex and Zeke?

Somehow still more modern than Metal Gear Chicken years later.

[QUOTE=ThePanther;47877390][img]http://i.imgur.com/6SaY6wN.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Waaaay too much shit on it, imo. And also it's not in style of all the previous cover art. I prefer this one.

Ehhh, I like Shinkawa art, but the placement of Diamond Dogs makes no sense since it's not the subtitle of the game, it uses "5" instead of "V" and the flavour text on the back is underselling the game a lot.

[QUOTE=usaokay;47878023]I bet they're going to have another reversible cover.[/QUOTE] Did the American release of Ground Zeroes have a reversible cover or something?

I hope the locations in live up to the witcher 3's detail. The Witcher 3 really raised the bar for open world games.

What's with Ocelot's face on that artwork? Everyone else is super serious but he looks like he's doing the Tim Allen grunt.

[QUOTE=tempunary;47878116][URL="http://imgur.com/a/KtXDl"]Scans of the magazine here[/URL][/QUOTE] COMBAT SOLDIERS CAN REPLACE BIG BOSS IN REGULAR MISSIONS!

Well, that magazine info hyped me up even more and simultaneously confirmed my early thoughts; this is going to have story, no doubt, but it's going to be a very gameplay-focused Metal Gear with the majority of plot details in the background with tapes/cassettes instead of constant in-your-face cutscenes. The exact opposite of MGS4.

This is your best bet. [QUOTE=tempunary;47878116][URL="http://imgur.com/a/KtXDl"]Scans of the magazine here[/URL][/QUOTE]

Woah, completely missed that, thanks a bunch; can't wait for the official release of that image and I'm also holding out for a sweet reversible cover Also, bit of an odd question given all we've learned, but who will be the main antagonist of the game? I'm leaning towards Skull Face and Cypher, but Big Boss is working with Skully, and if they can't get Zero's voice actor, I'm not sure on how much he'll be in it; though they could always recast him.
