    I'm a fan of the open world stealth action games, stuff like Assassin's Creed and Hitman are really great games. I can see the set up that an open world MGS title could do, ambitious and utterly cool.

    for some actual gameplay footage and images I mean. Also, curious when this game takes place, if it is canon. Haven't played Peace Walker or Portable Ops yet.

    I suspect it is a re-imagining of Metal Gear, that' s what the ending of Peace Walker was hinting at (the last thing we hear after the PW credits is Big Boss saying "This is Outer Heaven", and that plural zeroes is a nod to another PW dialog line). I haven' t played the MSX MG, but from what I read about it its plot doesn' t really match with the MGS saga plot, which is probably what they' re trying to address here.

    The character on this picture is Big Boss (he' s got the MSF logo on his shoulder), and the "From Fox two phantoms were born" line is a big giveaway that the plot will revolve around les enfants terribles (they were briefly mentioned in a PW post ending file).

    Another MGS3 sequel?

    Don't get me wrong, I'm hype. I just want more to follow MGS4 if we're doing this at all.

    ^ If it makes you feel better Kojima said that, in a way, Ground Zeroes is merely a prologue to MGS5. He also said he' d like to make a canon game focused on The Boss. Here' s the whole interview :

    Wait what ? Isn' t that what you were asking ? I take it the five would mean the story finally goes to new places instead of just filling the blanks, it could even take place after 4. In case I wasn' t clear the game focused on The Boss would be a separate game, not MGS5, at least that' s how I took what he said.

    Gimme, Gimme right now.

    This game looks sexy as all fuuuuck, I cannot wait, anything with Big Boss is a-ok with me, Solid snake is probably my least favourite protagonist in the MGS franchise now.

    Well, looks like those comparison shots could be right. If not, perhaps just a spin-off leading up to the next MGS.

    Hopefully the trailer can be put legally online soon. The conspiracy theorist in me is itching for more.

    That's.... strange?
    It's hard to tell if it just happens to be a coincidence or fans are trying to put those facts there.
    Hopefully we'll know soon enough.
