    Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

    Game » consists of 14 releases. Released Mar 18, 2014

    The stand-alone prelude to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, giving players a taste of the new open-world gameplay mechanics while setting up the main game's story, as Snake (Big Boss) must infiltrate a prison camp to rescue his comrades.

    This is almost certainly MGS5

    Man, I was really hoping Phantom Pain could be an MGS title, but this evidence of Joakim Mogren CEO of Moby Dick Studios has completely debunked this.

    Game Over.

    lol his tweets are getting pretty funny "RT if you love puppies or know that Phantom Pain is not MGS5!" i figured the obvious that joakim is an anagram for kojima but i need to figure what n mogren stands for

    I'm gonna bet a tenner that Phantom Pain does not come out as Phantom paint. You guys think this is next gen or not?

    Also however this turns out you have to love Kojima. The man makes irreverence an art form.

    Hmmm......i think i would be more excited for a card game based on the MGS universe since Ground Zeroes is already a thing. Man the things i would do for another Acid game...perhaps even buy a Vita

    Doesn't the card game already exist? Wasn't that announced for Japan a while ago?

    I've never played Metal Gear Ac!d, but isn't that what it was?

    Also yes there is some sort of card game they are making.

    Moby Dick Studios is a fake studio guys. The founder's name is an anagram for Kojima, and the last name has OGRE, as in Project Ogre. You can clearly see Volgin, Psycho Mantis/the Sorrow, and the Boss' horse in the trailer, and the soldiers have the same gear as the ones in Ground Zeroes. Not to mention the fact that...come on, that character is so clearly Big Boss it's not even funny. I mean, Metal Gear Solid V is in the freaking title! It fits in the lines and spaces in the title screen. My theory is that Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain are both MGS5, but when Kojima said Ground Zeroes was the prologue to MGS5, he actually meant it was the prologue LEVEL, like the tanker in MGS2 or the Virtuous Mission in MGS3.

    @N7: That's not accurate. While "Pappa" does mean father, barba isn't a word to describe barbarism. It's more likely a reference to this.

    Just watched the trailer again and noticed that Snake has both his arms at the end. Then Pyscho Mantis is standing over him. We can ssume most of the trailer is a dream until that point

    Well looks like any questions for what this game could be will have to wait for next E3 for some to be answered. I for one would be really intrigued if this has anything to do with the MGS universe.

    @dropabombonit: Watch again, he is definitely still missing his arm at the end. You can see his left arm prosthetic when the soldier flips him over and when it zooms out a little from his face.

    It is kind of baffling they haven't done more spinoffs about the missions that Solid and Liquid did earlier in their careers, but I guess KojiPro figures they're already doing enough games in historical time periods by doing MGS3, Peace Walker, Ground Zeroes, etc.

    Though seriously, Big Boss is cool and all, but I'd love to see a weird spinoff about Liquid's earlier life or something. Though I guess it would be a stretch to include Metal Gears in any way, though they've certainly found ways for it to happen with Big Boss.

    Don't if anyone has spotted this yet but just after the man appearing to be Volgin is on screen, there's a black screen with the words "open your eyes" followed by a soldier on fire stumbling around.

    Looks a tad like Raiden to me with the hair

    Or am I reading way too much into this?

    Go read all of the thread on gaf and you'll see the same theory posted on the first night. You may have discovered it yesterday but you were beaten to the punch by someone else, sorry. I think it was dismissed outright as the two shapes really don't match up very well.

    I honestly don't understand how anybody could think this is related to Metal Gear in any way. It's a totally separate developer in an unrelated country, coming out with a new IP seemingly involving PTSD syndrome, and the first thing everyone tries to do is to see how it fits into Kojima's canon? It feels a bit as if people were trying to shoehorn the story of Spec Ops: The Line into the new Call of Duty. I might be the odd one out, but colour me flabbergasted.

    I don't know if you're just trolling or have never played a MGS game before. You honestly think that a developer that no one has ever heard of before can come out of nowhere and create a AAA game? A developer that has one employee whose first name is an anagram for Kojima. Not to mention that the trailer has a reference to MGS in every single scene. Yeah people are really just grasping at anything these days. Was the Metal Gear Solid 5 in the negative space at the end of the trailer just some random coincidence?

    So, I am sure by now we have all seen the .gif with the title switching in and out of "Metal Gear Solid V" and "Phantom Pain". My theory, is that the game is Metal Gear Solid Vita, and is some kind of Inception dream bullshit side story for the Vita. The way I see it, whatever Kojima does, it will work, but just not the way we are expecting it to.

    There is no way the graphics were for Vita. No way.

    In addition, the title would have to be bizarrely offset to have "Vita" vs just "V".

    ... Huh? I am saying it's for 360 and PS3. All of this is just MGS V. Either this or Ground Zero is the prologue mission ala MGS 2's tanker mission IMO.

    You aren't getting graphics that seem like they aren't even possible on PS3 Xbox 360 on Vita. Sorry guys.
