One Winged Joker Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 IGN has teased a major announcement about Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, along with a message from Hideo Kojima, which will be made public this Wednesday, March 4th. Link: Big Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain News Is Coming - IGN Also, the most original countdown I've ever seen has appeared on MGSV official site, obviously referring to the same announcement as IGN. Link: METAL GEAR SOLID V It seems like we're finally getting our release date. If only that Phantom Cigar was a real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoaringEagle23 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Exciting. I'm hoping that they'll reveal the release date too, and possibly any sort of Collector's Edition. I'm guessing that the release date might be in the summer since Kojima does release a lot of Metal Gear games around that time to commemorate the original release, like they did with MGS4.

Keyser Soze Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Unless the announcement is "we snuck the game into stores, stop listening to us and go buy the game" I'm going to be less than satisfied. I had hoped to not just have a release date by now but to actually be playing it. Whenever the release date is, it's too far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaco Deus Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Someone dug around in the source code's .css and it appears to display the release date when the counter hits zero NeoGAF - View Single Post - New MGS5 The Phantom Pain Announcement on Wednesday I'd love it to be May 5th but 2 months of promotion seems not that likely.

One Winged Joker Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Good things come those who wait my friends I agree. Of course I'd rather be playing it now, but trying to shape reality into the form of our own expectations seems a bit childish to me. Kojima is one of the few guys I trust in this industry, and we all know he delivers. As long as they don't mock me time and again by telling me the game will be here "soon" when they know that's not true (which they sort of did once, by teasing the game too early, in my opinion), they can take all the time they want. Just release a polished product up to MGS standards. I'd only be less than satisfied if one of the most (if not the most) promising games for this year turned out to be a half-assed and rushed product due to Konami's/fans' pressure on Kojima Productions. The game's probably right around the corner, and it's surely going to be awesome. Chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I think we can all agree we have waited long enough It's hard to believe it's been so long but I've been waiting for a full fledged game for almost seven years. At least it's not as bad as The Last Guardian Do people still think that's a thing? I gave up on that years ago. Someone dug around in the source code's .css and it appears to display the release date when the counter hits zero NeoGAF - View Single Post - New MGS5 The Phantom Pain Announcement on Wednesday I'd love it to be May 5th but 2 months of promotion seems not that likely.

Vaco Deus Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'd be pretty happy with early May. MGS4 was dated in February and it launched in June; 4 months. May isn't out of the realm of possibility:think: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Winged Joker Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 MGS4 was dated in February and it launched in June; 4 months. May isn't out of the realm of possibility:think: Early May would be excellent news. It's all down to how long they plan to extend the marketing phase of the game. I hope they take into account all the marketing that's been done prior to the announcement of the release date, which has been made quite late, considering other AAA titles.

OceanH Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Accidently leaked by IGN: http://kotaku.com/metal-gear-solid-v-will-be-out-september-1-1689162309 http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--4yv34c3q--/y6hytughmqinzqvvgtod.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoaringEagle23 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 ^ "Accidentally" leaked by IGN. If that date is true, then I'm not surprised that they're the ones who have the big mouths to ruin it for everyone. Still, I don't trust IGN's word for anything and I'll still wait for the official announcement tomorrow and see if there actually is a release date or not.

I don't like them either because they're idiots but that doesn't mean they have false information. We don't take them seriously for their stupid opinions but not for their information. Tomorrow's announcement is a joint marketing between IGN and Konami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaco Deus Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 LOVE the codec calls from previous games. Granted, they got a little long sometimes but it helps build characters and build the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
