I wake up and I found this trailer floating around, along with this little teaser.

What do you guys think. The current theory is that this is a dream sequence for Ground Zeroes.

What do you guys think?

After the teaser trailer aired, numerous video game-related websites and fansites reported the trailer's seemed connection to the Metal Gear series of video games.[2] Although the trailer presented the game as being developed by Moby Dick Studio, there were a few hints that The Phantom Pain may have some connection to Kojima Productions and the Metal Gear series due to the protagonist's resemblance to Big Boss, as well as the head of Moby Dick Studio, Joakim Mogren's first name was an anagram of "Kojima".[1] In addition, it was also discovered from the whois search engine that the studio didn't even exist until roughly two weeks prior to the trailer's official release. It was discovered that the title "Metal Gear Solid V" fits perfectly in the indents and negative space above the game's logo if using the exact same font[3] and it was noted that the in-game graphics portrayed in the trailer bore close resemblance to those of the Fox Engine.[4] Metal Gear Solid voice actor David Hayter has also hinted that he is involved with the game.[5]

This is from Wikipedia, but it seems the Wiki editors are having an edit war over the issue of "new IP" or "viral marketing." Media sources seem to be running with MGSV marketing campaign, but all the evidence of it being a marketing campaign is coming from some kid's blog and could just be wilde coincidence.

Whoops didnt see this thread. Will just throw in My dude sounds like Kiefer Sutherland 'on your feet soldier' idea. Celebrity VO usually means western development. Then again with Kojima's love of western pop culture and professional relationship with hollywood Music dude Harry Gregson Williams celebrity VO wouldnt be a surprise.

Liquid Snake did lose his hand and was trained in the UK if I remember my MGS correctly. Now we have a soldier (apparently) with a missing hand and there is the UK flag in the background.

**chaos0xomega**

Phantom pain refers to sensations (pain specifically) felt in a missing limb...

Moby Dick. the white whale. Why is this new studio called Mody Dick Studios?

EDIT: wow I sound like Lone Cat. It must have something to do with the Kuomitang and the Freemasons in a secret attempt to conquer the Aztec Empire.
