The Phantom Pain: AKA Metal Gear Solid 5?


You have to love how MGS always plays around with you with its marketing and actual game play.  Now, the game being promoted is called The Phantom Pain and is listed as a Survival horror for the PS3 and Xbox.  The trailer pretends to be a pure horror game, but there are too many military elements to overlook the connections to the MGS series. 
Why does the trailer go to great lengths to never show the guy’s face, even though it looks like either Big Boss or Snake?  Yet, Snake has a part of his face burnt. 
The game is being developed by a studio named Moby Dick Studio.  Except there have been reports of people from Konami wearing Moby Dick Studio shirts.  And, make sure to pay a visit to the Moby Dick Studio website for shits and giggles.  There is very little in way of content on their website, but the name Joakim Mogren should look familiar.  And, this Joakim has a twitter account. 
I love that they’re taking this misdirection this far with Metal Gear Solid 5. 
-“Big Boss” is thinner due to being in a coma. 
-Was that Mantis in the shot toward the end or a Mantis doll? 
-Man Ass:  There is a lot of it.  Thank you, Konami?   
-Clearly, they’re playing around with the Silent Hill genre here. 
-“V” has come to.  Clearly a take on five. 
-It looks like Volgin survived MGS3.  
And people took the Phantom Pain logo and placed Metal Gear Solid 5 over the missing portions of the logo.
