Ha ha, so the collectors edition just unlocks more shield and camo colors to choose from. Pathetic.

One more spoiler from that 4chan guy, regarding Quiet and Cipher:
Huey has been working for Cipher designing supersoldiers (The Skulls mentioned in the previews) and Quiet was part of that program, that's why she has some of their powers. Oh, and Cipher is now run by Skullface who got the Philosophers Legacy. It's actually Zero who asks you to hunt down Cipher.

and a really loving crazy one which I hope isn't true:
Kaz is racist and he drops the n bomb during the game
they would face ridiculous backlash if this was actually the case

You sure it's the same guy?

Was this even part of his character before? I can get being upset with Afghans and Russians because of the whole torturing thing and throwing some slurs their way but to just randomly being all "gently caress black people" is really weird. Not buying it.

It does sound really stupid but at the same time Kojima said he wanted to explore controversial themes like race in the game.

he also said he was touching on taboos that could (possibly did) get him kicked out of the industry.

To be fair, given Kojima and the subject matter, that is as likely as it isn't at this point.

I'd assume that would be a late game twist if true, and I don't think any of the press played that far into the game. Not past the first half at least.

There may be microtransactions in the game



That sounds exactly like the timer on the Android/iOS Mother Base building app. It builds in realtime, it gets great boosts when you complete missions or whatev in GZ and sync it to it, and it is only going to be a deal for sad types desperate for something to take out their Hayter-mouring rage on.

If Master Miller says the word "friend of the family" in Metal Gear Solid, can you guys even imagine how many more sales Konami'll get from gamers in the KKK? Kudos to Kojima for hitting all the demographics.

I feel like the only reason/context that would explain Kaz saying friend of the family would be him trying to taunt the black kids. From Africa. Who have no idea the connotation behind the word.

I think Rhodesian kids would definitely know the connotations of the word.

A favorite phrase to throw around during the later parts of Ian Smith's tenure was "friend of the family lover".

You bring up a good point, although I believe the children (specifically the recurring three from the trailers) are Congolese.

That doesn't mean that they wouldn't be familiar with the term though.
