Kotaku editor-in-chief Stephen Totilo is out in L.A. for the Spike Video Game Awards. And he's dug up some evidence that appears to support the theory that the mysterious Phantom Pain game is in fact another Metal Gear title.
The moody trailer for The Phantom Pain took everyone by surprised when it aired on Friday night and theories immediately started spinning about what it could portend. Upon seeing the logo, Totilo spoke to the gentleman pictured below about the shirt he was wearing. This conversation happened at a Konami party. Moreover, the mystery man said that he designed the shirts for the Moby Dick dev outfit. When Totilo replied by saying that Moby Dick wasn't a real studio, Shirt Guy just laughed.

Konami, of course, publishes the Metal Gear games and this man's presence at a Konami fete could mean that the Phantom Pain trailer could be teasing Ground Zeroes or even Metal Gear Solid 5. Consider, too, these images sent in by tipster Nil Zero. The theory here is that a Metal Gear Solid V logo is lurking in plain sight. Active camo, anyone?
Furon zei:Of Kojima is weer zwaar aan het trollen en is dit gewoonweg nieuwe GZ footage.

Thanks for all the VGA feedback. The Phantom Pain is an a completely game, nothing that has been shown before. I assure you of that.
Digishine zei:Welke kerel heeft zen arm ook verloren in MGS..
Liquid.
Big Boss zei:Ik denk dat mgs ground zeroes eind 2013 uitkomt en dat deze 'mgs 5' zowizo voor de next gen is. Ground zeroes is een proloog, dus waarschijnlijk eindig je met ground zeroes waar deze game nu begint. Heb de trailer al een paar keer bekeken. Fucking amazing he!
La-li-lu-le-loaded questions
All the evidence above is fairly damning, as far as The Phantom Pain's secret identity as a Metal Gear title is concerned, so let's assume for a moment that's the case. As with any Metal Gear reveal, more questions are raised by this new addition to the lore than are answered by its existence.
For instance, Big Boss losing his left arm is not part of any previously established Metal Gear history and would be a new development, echoing the amputation of Liquid Snake's right arm after his death at Shadow Moses. If this is the case, it would serve as yet another instance in which the clones produced by Les Enfants Terribles serendipitously acquired physical traits mirroring that of Big Boss', another example being Solid Snake's use of the Solid Eye in Metal Gear Solid 4.
Where The Phantom Pain falls within the chronology of Metal Gear as a whole is also difficult to extrapolate from the information currently available. We feel it's safe to assume that the game takes place after the events of Metal Gear Solid 3, but where it falls in relation to the rest of Big Boss' history is less immediately apparent.
The scar mentioned above could be indicative of the game's position in Metal Gear's canon, but the other injuries sustained by the man in the trailer make it difficult to ascertain whether said injuries are the cause of the scar.
We've previously determined that Ground Zeroes takes place in (or immediately after) 1974, after the events of Peace Walker but before the incident at Outer Heaven. Should the scar in the trailer be a fresh injury, this game would therefore take place before Peace Walker, making it possible that The Phantom Pain occurs in 1972, when Zero obtained Big Boss' DNA and initiated the Les Enfants Terribles project. This amputation could just be how Zero came into possession of Big Boss' genes, but that all hinges on the freshness of that cheek injury.
Of course, none of this is confirmed or verified either way until more information is revealed about the project, but we'd be very surprised if this all ended up being one giant coincidence. For now, all any one of us can do is dream, and hope that mysterious shadow governments don't clone us while we're in a coma.
. Vind het zo vet! Kan niet geloven dat dit current gen is. Een vita game toch al helemaal niet ofzo. Het hele filmpje is volledig ingame. Elke cutscene is ingame gerenderd. De arm(hook) ziet er fenomaal uit. De gezichtsanimaties(van de dokter in het begin,...) zijn voor current gen ongekend lijkt mij. Uncharted 3, GOW of the last of us, kan hier niet tegen op. Op het moment dat ze die kerel door zijn hoofd schieten, die graphics, wtf? Ongelooflijk. Die explosie, de manier waarop de vijanden bewegen, alles is zo fantastisch in beeld gebracht! De vuur animaties zijn zeer goed, maar hebben we al in uncharted 3 gezien. Maar het stuk dat die 'bad guys' met uw machinegeweren aan het knallen zijn, in hun zwarte pakken. Damn, wat een visueel spectakel! Het zal wel dezelfde engine als ground zeroes zijn. Maar Kojima had al aangekondigd dat deze engine gemakkelijk de overstap naar next gen kan maken.
