Only place I know with the video.

This game looks fantastic. So we have Watch Dogs, Star Wars 1313, and this game so far that are all looking like they’re next gen games to me at least. And I’m excited for this one the most probably. Can’t wait to crawl around like a cripple with such amazing graphics.

Here’s a couple things leading people to believe it’s MGS5:

The owner of the studio’s name is Joakim, an anagram of Kojima
The studio’s logo is similar to a patch that Big Boss is wearing in the Ground Zeroes trailer
There’s some weird lines on top of the game logo that supposedly spell out Metal Gear Solid V

And I leave you with this

Liked parts of the trailer, but those words that kept popping up were dumb as fuck. Who wrote that tripe?

#3

Kojima :3 .

#4

Kojima can’t out-troll us. That’s clearly a Metal Gear game.

#5

Yeeeeeaaahhhh… I’m going out on a limb here, but I think that this is definitely a MGS game. That was obviously Big Boss.

#6

I thought Ground Zeroes was MGS5?

Tonally, this looked a lot different than your typical Metal Gear game. Plus, the kit on the soldiers hitting the hospital looked a bit advanced for the '80s. Perhaps it’s actually Old Snake? (Considering that Kojima apparently backpedaled on his statement that MGS4 was the last we’d see of Solid Snake, this could be the case, although I was hoping he’d stick to his creative guns and keep 4 as the definitive “end.”)

#7

Ground Zeroes is its own game outside of the numbered saga.

This could either be MGS 5 or Metal Gear Liquid, according to some theories.

#8

I just had the mental image of Japanese Zero planes flying into an enormous meat grinder.

#9

That’s just Metal Gear.

#10

SOMEONE MAKE THIS GAME.

This whole Joakim/Kojima thing is more interesting to me than the game itself.
