What if those who don't exist don't exist?
Like, what if they are just big boss being crazy and hallucinating shit because during the escape he's still full of sedatives and head trauma?
They don't seem to have shown up in trailers except in that one mission.
No.609
>>608Well they look very phantomish, I give you that. On the other hand, it would make sense to have some sort of super soldiers for later parts of the game, to make up for all the crazy Technology and the many ways to take out enemies, so it doesn't become too easy.

No.682
>>677I think it will. The PC version of GZ came out at the same time, and they are already announcing the Steam cardboard boxes, so I think both pc and console games will be released at the same time.
No.683
>>682GZ was released in march 2014 for consoles and december 2014 for PC.
I think the current consent is that all platforms get the same release date for TPP, because they were all listed as the same item in the Konami Release Pipeline report.
No.691
Theory 1:
Zero is post ground zeroes snake
>They have identical eyescars
>Brit voice actors
>Cypher's goal was to sell BB as a hero, which gets hard to do when he leaves
>They are so reliant on this plan they cloned him three times
>Willing to start nuclear war to get BB back
>He has worked with a long term triple agent (Ocelot) who later adopted another personality entirely for the sake of advanced deception, much like he could have done here
>He has previous experience with shady Kaz dealings
>Ocelot explicitly says they are "Bringing the legend back to life"
>Has not been seen at all since MGS3 despite being heavily involved in each game's plot
>He knew the boss and all the details of Operation Snake Eater
>His take on her will is the exact opposite of what she actually hoped for, just like how his overly emotional treatment of his fallen comrades and vindictive attitude is opposite her idea of a solder
>Codename Major tom leading Diamond dogs, all David Bowie references
>His opposition is an enemy of cypher specifically set out to kill him
When you think about it it makes much more sense than the decoy octopus theory
Theory 2:
(this one is pretty dumb)
>Kojima is in charge of silent hills
>The game runs on fox engine
>An apparently major part of MGS5 is psychological trauma after a loss
>Hospitals
>Unknown protagonist
Silent hills is Big Boss working his way through the coma, a classic kojima bait and switch

You play as Ishmael (the medic) (Venom Snake) all throughout TPP, you'll meet Solid Snake at one point either as the real Big Boss or as Venom Snake who'll be voiced by Hayter. It's hard to deny Hayter's involvement when he leaves tweets like these.

>Midway through the game, after defeating Skullface at great cost, the game suddenly switches to 1995 Outer Heaven, play as Solid confronting Big Boss as a wreck of his former self
>then you confront an even smaller army two years later in Zanzibar Land, where a 60 year old BB is on his last legs, and you anticlimactically burn him to "death"
>La-li-lu-le-lo agents come to collect his remains
Would make for a fitting replacement to the first two shitty games, if the second part of MGS5 was a reimagining that linked the Big Boss era to the Solid era.

So BB can't be in a coma after Ground Zeroes right? The hospital scenes can't be a flashback either, because Peace Walker is in 1974 and BB has all his limbs and no horns whatsoever there. God damn you Kojima and your ruses.
