I remember being skeptical at the time until internet sleuths matched the title to the game's logo. It seemed hard to believe, after we'd just seen the announcement for GZ, that there would be another Metal Gear in the works on top of that. Now in hindsight and without hype I see more clearly.
I remember people were suspicious from the very beginning, how it only took a couple of days before people realized that you could write "Metal Gear Solid V" in those gaps of the The Phantom Pain title card, and everyone was noticing the main character looked like Big Boss.
Man, I love MGS V's marketing. I remember seeing this and being so intrigued and excited, all for it to be revealed to be Metal Gear. And now looking back, it's sweet to see little touches that were changed and how you can see the silhouette of the true title. Makes me sad that we won't see another MGS, at least not under Kojima
I remember watching this and instantly thinking "Is that Big Boss?" but the whole missing arm and coma for 9 years threw me off a bit. Here we are years later, with a mind fuck more questions to be answered. But in less than a month, we'll finally get to see this in all it's glory :D Tbh though, if this was a new game entirely, I wouldn't have been disappointed.
@@Blballerboy More like one mission. One thing is if they planned the game to be 3 or more acts early in development and decided to change it later but all games change during development. Sure mission 51 and some other things in the final game may have been cut and we could say it's unfinished due to them, but you can't say there is an act full of content cut from the game because we simply haven't been developing the game to know that.
+thesupernostalgia “thesupercitics” offspring I'd want to see not MGR 2, but Metal Gear Solid Rising, that game that was initially announced by Kojima telling the story of Raiden between MGS 2 and 4. Revengeance while good, didn't have that "true" Metal Gear feel.
I’m here after people speculated that Kojima is behind the Abandoned PS5 game, and that it’s actually Silent Hill LMAO. Since he has a history of false advertising.
I remember seeing this and thinking, “man, this looks allot like it could secretly be metal gear solid.” And being scared it wasn’t and was just a different game. I drove my friends up the walls when this trailer came out cus I turned into a psycho conspiracy theory nut with my metal gear theories.
MGSV:TPP is a masterpiece and all - but I sure would've loved to see The Phantom Pain as its own sorta horror title. The hospital sequence and x10 more of that. Trailer sure made it seem to be a horror game that ripped the genre a new one.
@@ProwoodStuff I prefer to have the classic, long cutscenes in the older games, especially MGS4. More cutscene time in the hospital mission would've been better.
Looking back now, I low key wish this wasn’t a MGS game and was just a completely new IP by Kojima. Imagine this as his take on a horror game. Touches of the supernatural and being hunted by paramilitaries would’ve been insanely terrifying while dealing with say PTSD or dislocation. Makes me think of a militaristic take on Silent Hill.
I wish I knew the song for this. Or rather, wish they released it. Its so haunting and creepy that it makes some good horror trailer music. Makes the trailer much more intense.
this is really the best way to announce a game. Let people first think it's a new franchise, but then let all conspiracy theories show that this is a sequel. And this is how you create a hype
Well. That's kinda the point of the game. Big Boss does to Venom what the game does to the player. Big Boss creates a memetic copy of him and the game does exactly the same with the player. MGS always was about the information age.
New convincing proof Phantom Pain may be Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes !!! Pause AT 02:21 the guy holding the gun has some sort of text written on his suit The text on the suits says: Combat Body Armor. Now, take a look at the Ground Zeroes trailer: In the Trailer when all the XOF members are in the Chopper, carefully look underneath the XOF Badge there is that same Text written: Combat Body Armor. This MAY PROVE PHANTOM PAIN IS ACTUALLY MGS GZ ! Thumbs UP
As soon as 1:05 I saw it was Snake, aka Big Boss, aka Venom Snake. That hairstyle and beard can't be mistaken. And you clearly see Kojimas character design through out the trailer, especially watching npcs. From there on I knew it was Metal Gear.
I was the same way, I remember watching this live and from watching it I knew something weird was going on just from looking at it until i rialized its Big Boss and this is Metal Gear 😅
It's funny, when I first saw this, I thought this game was gonna be survival horror. I guessed it was during the Vietnam war and the guy we play as was someone who got fully fucked up. As the text hinted I thought it was gonna be survival horror a la Spec Ops: The Line, different things going on and your psyche fucking with you and a presumed cover up... Man was I somewhat disappointed, but not for that long. Both games kick ass, and as for survival horror.. I remind myself of the Hills.
@@Trash_prince bruh I even forgot I commented here. Man my comment about graphic aged badly, huh? I swear not to comment about game graphics anymore, maybe I'll comment about how the art style instead 😀
@@nikita05ism Dude comment qbout whatever you like in a game, don't feel bad, it's your opinion :P And yeah I just came back to this trailer because of that Abandoned trailer that everyone say is another Kojima stunt
This generated soooo much hype and excitement in me back in 2012. I thought, before that, that it was over after MGS4. But then this happened and my hype was resurrected to extraordinary degrees. The fear, the suspense, and the mystery, as well as some parallels with the older games. But when the game came out, it didn't live up to the trailers or what i was expecting.
there is the image of snake in GZ, standing, all brown, Kojima later told that there were some lighting of the engine, acutally he is young in the game.
I can remember this trailer coming out sometime after the GZ trailer originally GZ was ment to be its own separate game from V with a longer story leading up to V kind of like an aftermath to peace walker before mfs downfall it would of been kinda neat if they had kept it from being a two part game with a couple of similarity of game play styles with GZ being as long as peace walker but with a massive cliff hanger then bringing out ttp around four years later with the trailer itself with hidden title like this I can only hope after the mgs3 remake we get a peace walker remake and for them to give us a finished phantom pain with everything missing from it
I remember seeing this and being scared thinking this was a horror game.
I thought I was the only one. Thank god I don't feel stupid anymore
same thing :I
sometimes I wish it was a really horror game
+lolboxes Ikr it would have made a good horror game
+lolboxes this was the best part of the game for me. a metal gear based around this sort of feeling would be great in the future.
THEY PLAYED US LIKE A DAMN FIDDLE!

Did you end up loving the game as much as I did?

One of the Best game of all time
I love that this trailer is just the beginning of the game. Leading us to speculate wildly on the actual finished project.
All the stuff about whales. Kojima's been cooking up Death Stranding for a while
For a whale*
Well he wanted to stop MG after MGS2 so yeah, he probably has
you have no clue how right you are, Death Stranding is MGS Zero
never be game over
@@EpicMedia7 No no no no no no.... MGSV was Death Stranding. You'll see. There's a reason why that game felt so awkward and fake.

Come back to this video

It's great how the graphics here look exactly like the actual game
"Am I in a dream?"
SNAKE EAAAATEEEEERRRR
The opening sequence pretty much didn't change at all since 2012...
And people act like the game was incomplete. 🙄
Nathan B it was incomplete. there’s an entire act not in the game, you can watch the unfinished cutscenes on RUclips.
Theres alot of little details missing like the mgs ground zeroes posters and shit
@@Blballerboy Just as MGS2 was incomplete.
@@Blballerboy More like one mission. One thing is if they planned the game to be 3 or more acts early in development and decided to change it later but all games change during development.

Happy (belated) 10 year anniversary to one of the most iconic game trailers of all time
11 years later and the "one-shot camera" is still one of the best features in this masterpiece that few little people are aware of :)
It's so weird watching this then watching the latest mgs 5 trailer and gameplay

@@oryan3112 too many to be just coincidences
One of the best trailers ever made. This made the entire gaming world go - what in the hell ?
Gotta love how The Phantom Pain logo had METAL GEAR SOLID V hidden over it all along and we all thought at the time it was something else.
I remember seeing this and thinking, “man, this looks allot like it could secretly be metal gear solid.” And being scared it wasn’t and was just a different game. I drove my friends up the walls when this trailer came out cus I turned into a psycho conspiracy theory nut with my metal gear theories.
This trailer is still as creepy and epic from the first time I saw it.
Imagine if it was a whole horror game
Only one thing comes to mind :-
!
MGSV:TPP is a masterpiece and all - but I sure would've loved to see The Phantom Pain as its own sorta horror title. The hospital sequence and x10 more of that. Trailer sure made it seem to be a horror game that ripped the genre a new one.
10 years later this trailer is still a masterpiece
2:44 If you look carefully, you can see the outline of the word Metal Gear Solid V
"I need to tell you something" meaning, this is going to be a 1hour epic, cutscene convo.
Good it was only a few minutes lol
@@ProwoodStuff I prefer to have the classic, long cutscenes in the older games, especially MGS4. More cutscene time in the hospital mission would've been better.
It could as well be "MGS: Ground Zeroes" renamed "MGS V: The Phantom Pain"
Close
it turns out the game was split into 2 parts mgsv part 1 ground zeroes and part 2 the phantom pain
I'm from future. Something like that.
the hype that i had for those 4 years can never be topped. Regardless how it had a whole chapter cut, this was the shit.
I’m afraid it’s been… 9 years

Or F.E.A.R. a little bit
Old rumors say that Kojima was working on a new IP, but Konami forced him to transform his project into a Metal Gear game.
Those were the good old days
No, those were the good old days
Still my favorite MGS reveal trailer.
I wish I knew the song for this. Or rather, wish they released it. Its so haunting and creepy that it makes some good horror trailer music. Makes the trailer much more intense.
