Okay seriously who had any doubts? I'm just running this through Eurogamer but i'll give you the Highlights

    Update #4: Hideo Kojima just tweeted that Ground Zeroes is the prologue section in Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain:

    "'Ground Zeroes' is a prologue of 'MGSV'," he explained. "9 years after that event will be 'The Phantom Pain'. MGSV is constructed w/ prologue and main game 'TPP'. The game play demo I presented today is the opening of 'TPP' which is tutorial that starts from crawling."

    Update #3: Regular Snake voice actor David Hayter has said on Twitter that he's not involved. "Well look," he tweeted. "At least I had a good run." When asked by a fan whether he was asked to be involved at all, he replied, "Nope."

    Update #2: A press release from Konami has arrived confirming that the name of the game is "Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain" and that it will be released on PS3 and Xbox 360. There's no mention of any next-generation systems at this point.

    The release also offered this summary of the trailer: "First unveiled in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the new Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain trailer shows the fall of Mother Base and provides visual hints that unveil the connection between Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes and Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. The trailer also showcases the FOX Engine's exceptional level of visual quality with seamless integration of gameplay and cut scenes."

     

    It's not deffined that Ground Zeroes is a seperate game to The Phantom Pain but it most certainly is a prequel and it'll probably lead into the first MG game. I hope Hayter comes back, they probably didn't finish the script so they're waiting, although they managed to put Master Miller in there just fine (and he still has the Sunglasses onSurprised).

    So what do you guy's think? Are your minds blown are you in no way surprised? Are you excited? Do tell.

     

    This is V saying "DSnake look like Chuck Norris to you?"

    At this point, people are so used to Konami's antics that MGS games are the worst-kept secrets in the business.

    Looks awesome, but of course it would, it's MGS. I still need to play 3 and 4, though.

    Also, great track from Garbage, I'm gonna look into buying that album, as "Blood for Poppies" was one of my favorite songs last year, and this one fit the trailer perfectly. "The World is Not Enough" is one of my favorite Bond songs, only fitting this becomes a favorite of mine as far as MGS licensed music.
