Official Trailer:

Trailer with Extended Gameplay Demonstration

Full Panel: "Hideo Kojima Introspective: Past, Present, Future of Metal Gear"

Looks awesome but honestly wouldn't be surprised if this will release on current and next gen consoles. Looks way too good for current gen...

Well, I just made the most fangirl-y squeal one can make.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy! Looking really nice so far, though the guy who played for a minute there sucked. Caught by the first enemy? Come on, dude!

I really need to go and finish Peace Walker though, I have it on my Vita all ready to go but I've never actually completed it. I think I'll get on that tonight, after seeing this.

Apparently this will be released for X360 and PS3? I'm pretty sure that we're looking at a cross-gen release.

Looks really cool. Can't wait for some more gameplay.

Uh... still did nothing for me. Dunno we'll see. One thing though absolutely ZERO chance of this being on current hardware. This is going to obviously be a launch title for the new consoles. Also, with assets that crazy Im wondering if a single blu-ray will even be enough?

Copying over my post from the other trailer thread, which for some reason was outright deleted rather than locked O.o

Well, fuck me. I always love MGS announcements, they're always such an event. At first I could barely believe the graphics, but then I remembered how every major MGS game is always top of the line graphically speaking. I specifically remember being absolutely, positively gob-smacked, and in fact didn't believe what I was seeing, when I first set my eyes on screenshots for MGS2. As for what little gameplay they shown, I really liked the smooth transition between crouched movement to crawling and... well, I guess that's there is to take from it really :P

That can't be the entire thing, though? I definitely recall hearing about a lot more gameplay footage from the 8-4 podcast.

This is great. Kojima does fanservice like no one else. Snake/Big Boss' reveal was amazing.

Also, I like how his face is modeled after old Big Boss' at the end of MGS4.

I WANT IT I HAVE NEVER WANTED SOMETHING SO BAD FUCK PLUG IT RIGHT INTO MY VEINS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!

I read that Kojima said it was "running on PC hardware that was similarly equipped to PS3, and that the final game should closely resemble the demo video." But who knows, all I know is that looked awesome.

The last minute of it was alright, but everything else was meh.

Fap fap fap fap

I'm all worked up like I'm 12 again. GTA 5 and this...

EVERYTHING IS WET SO YOU CAN SEE OUR SHINY TECH

Looks cool though. I liked the continuous shot thing, although it made figuring out who is talking a little hard at times just because they barely showed their faces.

The tech looks amazing, just waiting to see if its all pre-rendered and if its cross platform.

Edit: Just got to the sequence where it switches to real time. Either that is the best looking in game cut scenes or the transition and load between pre-rendered into real time is flawless.

This looks incredible. Reminds me of that feeling you got seeing the MGS2 trailer for the first time.

Well shit its happened again. I think I am done with MGS but it pulls me back in. Curse you Kojima!!!!! :D

Wow, that looked totally dinosaurs.

HEY GUYS THERE'S MORE !!!

Oh my... Only a new MGS or maybe HL3 could make me feel this much emotion! I wonder if it will look anything like this on ps3, xbox when it comes out. I'm guessing this is running on a pc, and I'm betting that by the time this comes out, the new consoles will already be here.. But At any rate, it looks fooking awesome!

I was just about to leave a comment about that as well. Definitely not the full demo. Kinda disappointing since I was looking forward to seeing some of that stuff. Instead we only get about a minute of actual gameplay (if that). :(

I only played 1,2 and 3, never got round to 4 or Peace Walker as I don't have a PS3/PSP. I hope this is on Xbox, as I haven't played a Metal Gear game since MGS3 online!

We don't need more than 30 seconds of gameplay, all we need to know is this is Tactical Espionage Action and not like Metal Gear Rising. Its the story that will be new, im guessing the gameplay will be the same as always.

My brain can't handle this much awesome.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

I haven't seen it all, but already I can say I'm nearly at a loss for words because I'm so excited. It's just so amazing. AHHHHHH! :D Also, when you see this, imagine what the end of the console cycle of games will look like. Could the kid be Raiden? At first when I had heard about it, I imagined it could have been Liquid, but now I don't know.

OK, that was amazing. From a graphics stand-point, what made me think damn, was the facial details. I mean, it was... wow. Also, I love how it animates. Looks like I have to beat Peacewalker now.

I can use vehicles now!?!

@MasterRain: I think it would financially sound of konami to release this on as many platforms that can run it without limiting its specs/performance. But if this is a technical demonstration and selling point for next generation hardware, I think Sony would be the ones backing this as a flagship for their Orbis platform.

It's....it's glorious. GODDAMN IT I CAN'T WAIT!

Don't remember what podcast it was, but i think they said that Kojima was playing the demo on a PC with a controller. But i might just be mentally deranged and remember incorrectly. But as someone already mentioned, the visuals are pretty impressive. So if they manage to crank that kind of visuel fidelity out on the current consoles, they sure have some mighty talented people in that company.

EDIT: Actually think it was Weekend Confirmed.

Honestly, this is all I could have ever asked for and more. Big Boss and his time period has been my favorite since we first saw him in MGS3. The Cold War setting is interesting, and not often used. Big Boss to me is more intriguing as a character then plain old Snake to me, and I love the quazi-futuristic-retro tech.

I have a strong feeling, although with nothing to back it up, that Ground Zeroes will feature the final chapter of the rise of Big Boss, and will lead into MGS5 being an actual remake of MG 1 and MG 2.

Looks totally awesome, I'm thinking it will probably be just pc/PS3/360 with probably a WiiU version. While it looks really good, the textures are still pretty bad in typical MGS fashion. It's also been said that the trailer/demo was played on a PC so it could be on current gen consoles just with lesser graphics than what was shown.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaan, from now on every game needs to pull the "BITCH, YOU THOUGHT THIS WAS A CUTSCENE?!?! THIS SHIT IS RENDERED IN REAL TIME, SON! GET HYPE!" move in their trailers now.

Also, I am excited...like really, really excited and I don't even like MGS that much.

omigodomigodomigod THANK YOU BASED KOJIMA

Seems neat, but it's just not doing it for me. I guess I'd much rather see Kojima leave Metal Gear behind entirely and make a whole new crazy world.

Also, I'm kinda bummed out that this is Big Boss. I can see MGS falling into Kingdom Hearts territory where they're constantly backfilling their own fiction and lose all forward momentum in the process.

That trailer they released to the public did nothing for me. Those extra three minutes in the leaked footage was very impressive however.

Holy FUCK guys, Kojima has said that this game is a PROLOGUE TO MGS5 !! What the fuck!?

Cools! Looking forward to meeting him on the 27h

Dude same here. I wasn't that excited for this game but my GOD THAT TRAILER WAS INCREDIBLE!

I'm gonna say that "MGS5" is a remake of MG1 and MG2.

I doubt it would look this good on a 360/PS3. Hopefully they'll release a pc version of this.

Also I know this is an MGS game, but come on, 10 minutes of cutscenes and less than a minute of gameplay where nothing happens? Jeez.

Looks INSANE! I cannot wait!

Hoping to see some more gameplay. Like others have said this is probably a next gen game that'll probably be released on the PS3. I'm glad to be back in the role of Big Boss though.

That man is insane in all the right ways.

This looks amazing.

@Stete: check the video on page 2.

This looks damn awesome.

That song is amazing!

Well, that's foolish.

Also no bandanna! Does such a moment where he stops wearing it occur in Peace Walker, or is that totally new? Considering what that bandanna means to him and its relation to The Boss, I'd expect it's a pretty big deal that he's shown bandanna-less.
