[QUOTE=ThePanther;47906043]Possible evidence of new sneaking suit redesign to remove the phallic shape on the back:

Uh, no?

Look again, the shape is very clearly still there on the PAK figure.

Its just, you know, a PAK figure.

[editline]8th June 2015[/editline]

Like, by that logic, all characters who have PAK figures should be expected to have tiny heads ingame.

[ThePanther]

It appears to me that the shape on the back has been moved down to conceal the "tip" of the dick, thus making the overall shape less like [I]dick[/I]. ha.

For the people who are sad about this, don't worry, there's always the Mother Base Showers to look forward too. ;D

It's a way to wash blood off apparently.

[TVC15]

I can't say I liked the Peace Walker PAK figures, but damn that's a good looking figure.
Hey Dick (should I call you Richard Slamfist?), how was the articulation on the Tiger Stripe figure? I had the old Peace Walker Snake in the sneaking suit, it wasn't very flexible.

Its a Play Arts Kai figure.

Not the ingame model.

[editline]8th June 2015[/editline]

Theres like, literally nothing indicating they've changed how the ingame model looks other than the PAK figure looking slightly different than what its based on.

[editline]8th June 2015[/editline]

Wouldnt exactly be the first time they've changed the design of something slightly for their figures.

See:

You're freaking out over nothing. The dick will still be there, calm down.

my friends can call me richard so you can call me richard. however if I'm going to be Richard I want to say pretentious things before people die
I'm a big fan of the Tiger Stripe Venom Snake. He's easy to pose and he looks genuinely menacing, looks more like an african warlord than the Big Boss we know and love. Revoltech obviously is more posable but it's got a good range that I felt made some natural looking poses. If you can get one, it's a damn good Big Boss.

Prepare your anuses, because tonight/tomorrow the impressions will truly unravel. We already know the gist from the magazines a couple pages back but who knows what else might get revealed - or spoiled, since the magazines have intentionally been avoiding discussing the details of the prologue

Keep your eyes peeled but your wits about you, ye who avoids the fate of spoilers

[Dr.C]

I'm kind of hoping MGSV pulls an Inglorious Basterds and blatantly goes against established canon

Numerous journalists and various sources got an earlier version of the game, not quite Review Code, to play and have impressions of to keep the hype train rolling and keep MGS5 in relevance before September. A couple pages back the Xbox and Playstation magazine summaries and such were posted, but now the floodgates open and besides maybe story details (which is uninsured, so keep an eye out for spoilers), the embargo will be lifted and they'll be able to speak freely about their impressions.

So Platinum might be revealing MGRR2 at E3

And pigs might fly. If it's about their latest tweet I wouldn't take it to heart, they tweet quotes and pictures from their games all the time. But here's to hoping...

Oh good. I have their guides for 2, 3, and 4, they're in-depth and cover pretty much everything. I wonder if this'll be worth getting.

[IceyMalone]

Replaying Ground Zeroes again, may have found the nitpickiest of nitpicks

'Got a dead friendly here. Enemy's gotta be close.'

I don't get that train of thought, I could be on the other side of the map (unless they count that as close, I guess) by the time the body is discovered, or using a sniper rifle.

Maybe they could make it so that if the body is still 'warm' (like for the first 3 real-time minutes since death, time would be lower if it's raining or the environment is generally cold) they make that deduction that the kill must be recent, or if they actually hear the body drop.

For all I know, and especially knowing Kojima, it could already be like that and I wasted my time typing :v:

[editline]9th June 2015[/editline]

Also, do security cams notice dead bodies? If they do, not very well.

Hoping that could be an upgrade to your own security cameras at the FOB

In the gameplay preview, they mentioned that you can upgrade your security cameras to gun cameras

[Magikoopa24]

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;47911291]So Platinum might be revealing MGRR2 at E3[/QUOTE]

To elaborate on this; IGN announced that Platinum has a new game to be revealed next Tuesday, and I believe one of their employees (I'm not too sure on this part) retweeted some MGR art. Of course, one of the people at platinum RTed Nintendo's Digital Event, so it might just be unrelated.

Well if they heard a gunshot they can tell that it was from long range. If someone finds a body and there wasn't a sound it's gotta be from up close. You could also argue that the soldiers can tell if they have bullet holes, knife wounds, or broken bones.

[MightyLOLZOR]

I would expect the average enemies to be too inexperienced to even think about that stuff, and just be like "oh shit there's an enemy somewhere!"

[IceyMalone]

Your back weapon disappears when carrying bodies? That's so jarring.

They could make it that you cant move bodies or targets when you have a back weapon; you trade tactics for firepower.
