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.
Thursday nights are the debut for the GTTV show with Geoff Keighley. The studio head of the company developing Phantom Pain wants to show off something new.
Joakim Mogren is still so hilariously ridiculous. Looking forward to finding out what this thing is anyway. Most importantly if this truly will be a completely separate game from Ground Zeroes, or if it's just more kooky marketing.
I am playing through the MGS series for the first time now and am loving it so I can't wait to here about this, since all signs point to it being MGS related.

It's already been outed as a metal gear project, it's just not been said if it's a new game entirely or not.
Kojima then removes his fake hair, but keeps the mostache. Geoff Keighly makes an appropriate :O face, doing double takes between the camera and the now revealed Kojima, as Kojima grabs onto a rope ladder and flies out of the studio on his private military helicopter.
The helicopter blades then cut "MGS5" into the clouds as he flies into the sunset.
What if the twist is that Joakim Mogren is actually real, and Kojima was the fake persona.
that would be amazing
I feel like Kojima is trying to pull off the magic of Metal Gear Solid 2 again with all of these bizarre trailers and fake companies and stuff. My theory of all of this is that "Phantom Pain" and "Ground Zeroes" are actually just chapters within the larger game that will be Metal Gear Solid 5. You control Big Boss in one and my guess would be you controlling Major Zero in the other. The only thing is... I don't ever remember Zero losing his arm so that is where that theory falls apart.
I do think that this all ties into the same game though.

I just want Kojima to pull this charade as long as possible and be completely serious about it. Like, if he came out on stage at E3 in full disguise and started talking in a Norwegian-Japanese accent? That would be great!
The timing seems right as Kojima has confirmed he is giving a talk at GDC on 27th March. He will show a new tech demo of the Fox engine and has "an announcement" to make.

Considering Zero looks nothing like the main guy from the trailer, I'm guessing no.
My take on The Phantom Pain could be some nightmarish section of Ground Zeroes where Big Boss is subjected to reliving his own memories or twisted versions of it by Zero.
