One thing, phantom pains, in case people don't know, are pains (often times resembling the sensation of fire) that are left within the nerves of a severed limb and or area of the body that has had skin and nerves removed. People who have limbs amputated often times get phantom pains years later, war veterans also have them. This could tie in with the arm, and obviously the person's face since we see him in bandages (around the eyes). If this is indeed Jack, then something has happened that causes him to lose an arm, but that means Kojima has to retcon something, since this has never been mentioned in any game before.

The arm is the sole reason I am led to believe this is not even an MGS game, or at least not one involving Jack.
Or maybe he just lost the arm in his dream/hallucination. We see weird stuff in the trailer (flaming men, flying whales, unicorns), and the texts constantly imply this is a dream. So it could be just that.

wouldn't he have said so by now?
I severely doubt it.

Kojima likes to sit and watch, this we all know.
That is true.
Yes, exactly. That is what phantom pains cause. They can trigger memories (war veterans recall this in documentaries) so what we see in this trailer could be memories that Jack is recalling, while sleeping perhaps, due to his severed arm and, likewise, phantom pains. He has fought Volgin, so he shows up. The Unicorn might be a manifestation of the Joy's horse that Jack has seen, the flowers are inside of a building... but he knows them from the field in which he murdered the Joy in, there are many things here that he has been in contact with, in reality.

Yeah, the flower petals for me is one of the strongest hints that this is Metal Gear. I mean, white, through the air swirling flower petals with a similar shape that appear out of nowhere. That can't be a coincidence. The flower petals have really become a symbol for Big Boss defeating The Boss, they are even mentioned in the first line of Heavens Divide.

Also, just a quick note, that particular flower is a symbol of death, and rebirth. So, yeah, there's that.

Konami devs wearing Phantom Pain shirts backstage certainly seems like a dead give away as well

>that ass shot

Not only is it now confirmed an MGS title but we know for sure that Kojima is heavily involved with the development of it

Definitely, nobody but Kojima puts so much care into the modeling of the male buttocks

Another obvious hint (listen to the sound effect):

Yeah there's just too many similarities there's no way all of this is a fucking coincident

Maybe the game is set up in different chapters, Kojima made that weird statement that Ground Zeroes is the prologue to MGS5

Maybe what we know as GZ is actually MGS5 except the name Ground Zeroes is just the prologue chapter name

Yeah, there might be a Tank-Plant like structure, with one part being a prologue to the rest (and Virtuous Mission - OP Snake Eater as well).

yeah, this shit's pretty exciting man... what a trippy fucking way of doing it. It'd be weird if it was a separate MGS title cause having 2 come out and being worked on at the same time would feel weird, I'd rather they put all focus on one title.

The chances of this having no relation at all to Metal Gear seems slim to nothing at this point and considering how huge this all got I think we'd have tweets from Kojima or Konami employees stating that it has nothing to do with the series

Yeah, and if this was a game made by 'Moby Dick Studios', why haven't we heard anything from them? Seems weird. I'm pretty sure this is MGS. And you live in Sweden, right? Can't you pay them a visit? :P

lol, yeah, everything in sweden is within walking distance, I'll get to that right now

But it does indeed sound fake, nobody's ever heard of the studio before and they've made nothing, the site is incredibly plain with nothing on it.. and they just happen to have made a trailer with ridiculous amount of connections to Metal Gear by accident, lol.. there's just no way

Yeah, that sounds a little too fishy. If this Joakim Mogren is real, he isn't very communicative for a CEO showing his new project to the world.

and they announced a new game in the middle of lords of shadow 2 and other big sequels it would get lost in that shuffle so it has to be mgs no way a new company would decide to announce their first game in an event showing big title sequels.

if you want to add me on PSN or XBL PM me bro.

It's METAL GEAR SOLID 5, confirmed.

The trailer is pretty damn disturbing, I hope Volgin is just a hallucination.
Am I the only one noticing a drop in the graphical quality from Ground Zeroes? Might be because this was actual PS3/360 footage and not a PC that is close to them.
That... confirms nothing.
Not an official confirmation, but it's pretty obvious.
I am starting to think this and GZ are in fact the same game, which is MGS5, mainly because I don't think KojiPro can work on that many projects at once.

He's been extra cryptic with this game, I don't know what's what anymore.
