    A faithful remake with less of Twin Snakes' zany antics could be good alright.

    Or Solidus, MGS probably had the best and most unique array of characters, Grey Fox being the best in my opinion!

    Metal Gear Solid 2 was released on the original xbox. You did say Xbox there, but the cube had the twin snakes.

    Isn't phantom pain when amputees get pains in a limb that isn't there anymore? Interesting choice of title.

    We see in the trailers that Snake is missing a hand and there is monologue about the pain of the missing limb.

    That's the kind of thing that's incredibly hard to read up on without playing the games. I'd recommend playing them or watching a walk-through and then reading up on it. The Gametrailers Retrospective is also a decent way of getting an overview of the story:

    If you just want the jist of it then play Snake Eater on the HD collection and maybe try to watch a playthrough of Peacewalker. You'll have all the necessary backstory then. But if you're really interested then play them all in numeric order (1>2>3>4>PW). It's likely that this new game will have links with and foreshadow major events in MGS1.

    Why Peacewalker? :confused: It's one of the least consequential games in the series.

    The story of Peacewalker leads right into the story of Ground Zeros, it fills in some gaps. Ground Zeros sets the stage for Phantom Pain. I didn't finish Peacewalker and when I started playing Ground Zeros I wish I had so I stopped playing and went back to finish Peacewalker before I went any further.

    I know I quoted a year old post but just if anyone reads it, I recommend getting the jist of the Peacewalker story line before jumping into the MGS5 saga.

    They have just started a broadcast now and are showing the full 30 min demo from E3. It'll be in english too.

    Well it looked incredible. For anyone who liked Peace Walker.. you're going to love this.

    The big issues for me still are the reflex time and the alert status going off instantly when spotted. I really hope they change these.

    It looks like the online component of the game will be defending and attacking mother base which sounds pretty cool to me.

    I'm sure someone will download the full demo at some stage. Well worth watching anyway.

    The effectiveness of the Fulton system worries me. Aside from when the jeep was lifted and there was a guy behind it who noticed, none of the other enemies seemed to notice any of it happening, despite screams, noises, size of balloon etc.

    Just worried it's too overpowered. Removes sleeping enemies from the area with little penalty (seems fairly cheap to use) which means they won't wake up or be found.

    Other than that though, the game does look terrific.

    I completely agree with that. I'm hoping you have a limited number of them. That way at least you are a bit more careful regarding who you airlift out of the mission

    I have mixed feelings about Fulton. I think it is cool that you can take containers, equipment and vehicles back to the base but it has the potential to dumb down the game a bit. I mean why would you bother hiding enemies' bodies when you can use Fulton? Also it seems a bit unrealistic (despite the US army actually using Fulton in the 20th century) and slightly comical too. And although I love a bit of humor in games, this might be a bit over the top for me. I prefer if they just kept it simple! Then again if it is regulated properly and players cannot abuse it, well it might turn out to be a great idea. However I will remain skeptical until I experience it myself. Saying all this Phantom Pain looks amazing and I anticipate it eagerly!!

    I remember the fulton was in peace walker and you had a limit of how many you had per mission

    I do not think many people here played peace walker.

    Everything announced so far for metal gear solid 5 has had a strong indicator that the game is a continuation of peace walker/mgs3 and has less to do with mgs 1,2 and 4

    Futon recovery system has a set amount you could carry with you during a mission and has you continue to bring more highly experienced soliders back to mother base you could continue making and improving weapons and items.

    This leads to a better game in my opinion managing staff as in portable ops and peace walker its quite addictive to see mother base build thats something feels personal knowing you had a hand in it all than to simply watch mother base build during a story progession in a cutscene.
