I haven't been following news all too much either other than the E3 demo I saw... last year I think it was?

I'm also unreasonably excited that snake now doesn't carry around a small arsenal on his person.
and you can see the rifle on his chest so cool

Details like this are really nice, especially if it also takes into account other inventory items like grenades. Silent Storm is the only game I can think of that actually had equipment represented on your soldier's models.

Is there a nice place with all of the information for Phantom Pain so far? I'm too lazy/busy to go look for it myself.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

There's no good pile-up of information, but the big sources are the two 2014 demos and the 2015 demo that just came out. Otherwise...have fun trawling Kojima's twitter account, because that's where he posts everything.

[Parsely]

I've actually been avoiding trailer and demos and really most info on the game so far so I can actually be surprised by stuff. So excuse me if I get something wrong.

Forgive me instead. It's cool that you're confident enough in the game to already have made up your mind to buy it without knowing anything about the story or gameplay.

Tell me about it. I want guns to hang from straps or be in holsters, and grenades to be hung on your vest, and I want fresh ammo to be pulled from pockets or pouches.

I've been keeping up with things since the beginning. If you have questions, shoot me a PM.

Extra bonus points if just wearing a shirt and pants means you can only hold very small items inside your pants/shirt pockets, while wearing LBE's, holsters, bandoliers etc. actually increase the amount of stuff you carry in an intuitive way.

Basically I'm saying make Jagged Alliance 1.13 inventory system but make it visually represented on the character(s)... actually, that might be a bit much especially if you use a controller, but something similar would be nice.

I've heard plenty of people complain about Quiet, but I really can't bring myself to dislike the character design of someone who makes supersonic cracks when they move.
Having thought about this for awhile, I think this is the main reason why I like her.

Oh and if you like it's another gameplay trailer but in Japanese: Linkey

[SOLDIER First]

In the E3 Demo showing A Hero's Way, when the presenter had Quiet selected as a buddy, there was a tab showing - creatively - her breasts, with 'Naked' underneath it. So apparently you might be able to change her outfit before you bring her on missions, if it's any consolation.
I mean, that probably won't fix cutscenes, but she won't have to be practically naked all the time.

[Egan_BW]

The outfit is so absurd that I can only assume that she wears it because she has no idea how normal people dress themselves.

Also, new demo out.

Traditionally, Metal Gear cutscenes have been in-game rather than pre-rendered, so...

[SOLDIER First]

Oh, well. Good.

[Parsely]

Yeah we know from the early demos that at least some of the cutscenes are in-game (after Ocelot says his "legend" line Snake's horse rears and it goes seamlessly into the gameplay). In MGS4 your camo choices were represented in cutscenes. MGS2: Subsistence had the fun demo theater that let you change the character models for the characters in certain cutscenes, which was hilarious.

looked up quiet for a refresh on what her design was like and.. yeah, i really can't like that outfit. it's just dumb, there's not even anything creative about it, she's literally just wearing a bikini and torn pantyhose. what sort situation would a person have to be to even be wearing those things together? what sort of person would opt to stay dressed like that for any length of time, let alone a sniper

kojima claims that she has a good reason and that we'll buy it, but i really doubt it

Yeah apparently there's an explanation that has to do with her powers, but it doesn't make me like it any more than I already do.

[SOLDIER First]

The power explanation might be that anything other than skintight stuff would just rip off as she literally moves so fast she's creating sonic booms, but it's a bit too much of a stretch.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Part of Kojima's statement is that

Quiet is just found roaming around the Afghan desert alone like that, and that everyone treats this as 100% weird as it is even before the superpowers come out.

[SOLDIER First]

Oh thank god.

If she's related to the End (I can't remember if that was confirmed or not), then it must have to do with her skin being exposed to sunlight. At first I thought maybe her skin could do the octocamo thing, which would've been a really cool idea. But now I can't really make sense of her powers. She does seem to have some kind of octopuslike powers, like camoflaged/patterned skin, inking, being able to slip through tight spaces.

In the trailer: She fell really slowly out of that helicopter, and landed without hurting herself. She could also slip those handcuffs somehow. The handcuff thing made me think she could selectively make parts of her body disintegrate...but they could still detect her using IR, that means she was still there, somehow... Maybe she can turn into a stream of particles, and that let's her be invisible to the naked eye, and also move more quickly (or slow a fall), but still be visible as a warm streak in the air, and also explains how she can rid herself of the flesh on her arms in order to slip out of handcuffs? I can't think of any explanation that doesn't sound utterly absurd.
