Looks like the whale thing that's shown at the end of the trailer. It's got the same back

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.
how spoilery is that trailer, is there new music?

IMO trailers are by definition not spoilers. They're marketing.

It doesn't seem to reveal anything explicit about the plot.

I am curious about the total cutscene length. I hope we get that number before release. I am putting in a bet for around 10 hours.

It does seem to reveal that the "connect America" quest gets finished midway through the game.

If so, goddamn. I wonder what the budget for this was if there's that much mo-cap and voice work from so many established actors.

I also assume it's like MGS4 in the way that there are a lot of irrelevant things you can do in the first chapters, but most players will just beeline for the main quest markers.

Welcome to a Hideo Kojima game. The questions probably won't be answered either, but the excitement comes with wondering which ones.

Not looking forward to the brutal harassment and death threats that a reviewer will get when they give the game a 7/10. It's perfectly okay if someone doesn't end up liking this game.

Absolutely, this is a game I would not want to review, or I would just half rear end it and say only nice things about it and give it a 10/10. I salute the brave soul that is going to give this game a negative rating and recommend that people not buy it.

I actually expect this game to be a solid 8/10. Cool story with pretty good storytelling, but kojima, very solid game mechanics which are something new, but kojima.

The obsession people have with Kojima is maybe a bit weird, but that is not his fault (celebrity worship in general is ultra weird). His games still own.

To me its no different then getting excited for a directors upcoming movie. If you are a fan of someone's work, then yeah you know to check out whatever they are making.

But yeah gamers are crazy so Kojima and Yoko Taro can feel like wacky caricutures, Although that Taro wears a full face mask and acts goofy.

A reviewer friend of mine mentioned they had a copy. They gave it to another reviewer who likes Kojima because they hate Kojima. They told me basically, that the embargo for reviews ends on friday at 12am PST if I got the time conversion correct. Also that the NDA they had to sign was the most ridiculous one they'd ever seen and that certain spoiler/plot points were marked as 'do not mention'. I didn't ask for any details on the game and they didn't give me any.

That's for the best. It's super easy to get blacklisted in this industry. I know a few people in the game industry who work on high profile games, or get access to them, and I never bother to ask for details on what they are working on, don't want to put them into an uncomfortable position.

Good, there was a big complaint that Konami only allowed reviewers access to MGSV for a limited number of hours because they were probably worried the second half of the game wouldn’t review as well. Expecting completion is a confident move.

And I guess that explains why review embargoes are being lifted a week before launch.

i wonder, with all the stuff about connecting and online stuff, that we'll have a similar (and actually working) thing from peace walker/mgsv with the extra endings that change things up? might be half the reason the pc version isnt out til next year, to avoid datamining poo poo like with mgsv?
