Metal Gear Solid V : Phantom Pain (PS4/XBO/PC)

Selon ce qui pourrait bien avoir été une indiscrétion du journal The Guardian, dont l'insertion a été rapidement retirée, Phantom Pain sortirait le 17 mars 2015.

Alors, s'agit-il d'une véritable information, ou simplement d'une coquille journalistique ?

C'est officiel, MGS :GZ et MGS V seront disponible sur Steam.

Tu veux dire les deux MGS V ?

Zut alors... Ca fait encore une raison de moins de se procurer une console next gen, ça... *sifflote*

De toute façon il n'y a pas de trainer sur console, alors ca ne t'interesse pas : D

Encore que les MGS sont réputés faciles, non ?
Le plus gros souci, c'est surtout que je n'ai jamais été attirée par la licence : p

Tiens, le cliché qui confirme tes propos :

Le second épisode de MGS V s'est offert une longue démonstration sur le stand de Konami.
En vedette une fois encore, l'utilisation du carton par le héros, qui semble être devenu au fil des mois l'élément central de gameplay.
Le message est clair : si vous aimez l'infiltration et que l'idée de vous cacher dans des cartons vous hante depuis votre plus tendre enfance, le jeu est fait pour vous!

Tu abuses, le carton ca ne dure meme pas 2 minutes : p

C'est vraiment excellent, les possibilités semblent infinis... Entre le crottin de cheval qui fait partir la jeep en tête a queue sur la route, la jeep piégée qui fait sauter l'hélico ou encore le fait que les ennemis s'adaptent (trop de headshot, et les ennemis porteront des casques) c'est fort !

Oui, je dis pas, c'est intéressant *sourit*
Mais la manière dont il fait s'envoler la jeep quand même, c'est un peu too much, non ?

Quoi, tu ne connais pas le système Fulton, toi ?

Et le gros carton posé partout et qui ne suscite pas la curiosité des ennemis, ça porte un nom également ?

Ouais, c'est la boite, emblématique a la saga : p

Ca reste un trait d'humour typique de Kojima et des MGS, perso je ne crois pas l'avoir jamais utilisé dans les jeux. Idem pour les illustrations des jolies femmes dessus, dans les autres MGS on pouvait distraire les gardes en lancant des magazines coquins.

Le mode multijoueurs sera présenté ce jeudi.
Du côté des fans, on a déjà hâte de jouer à se faire peur en s'extirpant de sa boîte en carton!

J'en connais une qui ferait mieux d'y rester enfermer, dans son carton ! : D

Je me souviens avoir lu hier, ou avant-hier, un article qui disait lui aussi que cette "feature" était devenue tout ce que l'on retient de Phantom Pain : p
Je sais qu'elle n'est pas neuve dans la série, mais Kojima a beaucoup trop communiqué là-dessus. Maintenant, c'est comme le sparadrap du capitaine Haddock, impossible de s'en défaire!

IGN a testé le multijoueurs en avant-première :



Je reprends les énoncés du site, qui détaille les moments clés de cette vidéo de 22 minutes :

1:00 - Notice the amazing character animation detail as Big Boss struggles to do something as simple as take a cantine from Ocelot.
3:33 - The most important mission: Bringing Miller his aviator shades.
4:00 - What a brilliant, seamless transition from a brief (for Kojima, anyway) cutscene straight into exploration of the gorgeous open world.
4:15 - The iDroid device allows Big Boss to set markers -- from here, he takes whatever route he chooses.
5:09 - You can make a horse poop on command. Repeat: You can make a horse poop on command.
5:30 - The horse poop literally incapacitates the men in a car, causing them to spin out and become susceptible to Boss' rescue.
5:45 - The new Fulton Delivery System allows you to set a marker on nearly anything and claim it as your own.
6:30 - Boss, apparently in desperate need of new recruits, uses the Fulton to send a goat to MotherBase.
7:20 - A cute nod to the E3 demo, showing where we were during that particular demo, to establish a sense of space in this level we've seen before.
8:20 - In Metal Gear Solid, you can smoke a cigar overnight. Like you do.
8:45 - At 4am, there are fewer guards posted than there were the day before. You can use time and light to your advantage in The Phantom Pain.
9:55 - The classic cardboard box has a few new features.
11:40 - Like all great secret agents, Big Boss finds his greatest success inside dumpsters.
12:35 - Huh? A Hind D?
13:25 - The new, more mobile traversal really lends itself well to fast-paced infiltration.
15:35 - Probably the greatest means of taking down a helicopter in the history of video games.
17:00 - We join another player's FOB -- and infiltrate it in a Phantom Pain's multiplayer mode.
17:50 - You can install gun cameras and other weapons in your customized base to prevent others from getting in (or out).
19:20 - Big Boss is looting soldiers, weapons, and supplies from another player's base. Multiplayer is all about stealing resources from each other.
20:22 - You can use the Fulton as a means of traversal.
21:40 - UAVs can detect intruders in your MotherBase.
22:10 - The other player busts the Big Boss here -- possibly hinting at PvP multiplayer modes to come.

Un individu se prétendant "insider", travaillant ou ayant travaillé pour Konami, dévoile énormément d'informations concernant le jeu, qui devrait finalement connaître une sortie plus précoce qu'attendue, soit... fin 2014.

Selon lui, Phantom Pain serait achevé à 80%.

Il déteste Konami, qui a récemment licencié bon nombre de ses employés, mais est fan de la saga. aussi souhaite-t-il éviter de ruiner le jeu en révélant comment les choses se terminent.
Malgré tout, le questionnaire suivant constitue en lui-même un important spoiler.
Les intéressés sont prévenus!

Insider a écrit:

Q)What is the exact release date?
A)End of this year, they will announce it in TGS 2014.
Q) What is the most interesting thing about the game from what you have played so far?
A) I love Ocelot. He plays a big role and he fights along you during the game. You get to select one companion or buddy to help you if the mission allows you. In some missions, that buddy can be Ocelot and he’s GOAT. Believe me, he’s probably the single best thing about MGSV.
Q)What bosses are there in the game?
A) Bosses are a big disappointment. I played two boss fights and you can escape from the battlefield or be extracted during it. It doesn’t feel like a fight at all. Armored vehicles bosses are back and you can usually destroy them in one hit with the proper tactic.
You can fight Ocelot during training, after you are rescued. I will expand this later. Basically I just fought Ocelot, an armoured vehicle and a normal Russian guy with a heavy armor. That one was hard.
Q) Is Chico Quiet?
A) No.
Q) Do you encounter Liquid?
A) Yes, Liquid. Can’t say anything else because I won’t speak about the ending.
Q) Is David Hayter in the game?
A) No. But we played a version without voices.
Q) Who is Quiet?
A) Former soviet soldier, Big Boss captures her, she escapes, Big Boss captures her again and trains her. Big spoiler: She dies in the middle of the game, but she gets to save Diamond Dogs base.
Q) Is Snake already a demon?
A) After the end of Ground Zeroes? No.
Q) Who is Skullface?
A) Big Boss and The Boss rescued him in the past. He worked for FOX but later was captured and brainwashed by the soviets. XOF is a side project created by Zero to ‘make’ an enemy for Big Boss to join Cipher.
Q) Solid/ David Hayter?
A) Can’t say. About Hayter, we don’t work with voices, but no. It’s been confirmed over here.
Q) Do any of the superiors tell crazy stories about Hideo Kojima?
A) Only my manager met Kojima. He never came here.
Q) Is the E3 demo an early build?
A) No, the game is around 80% complete. But the are cutting a lot of shit to prevent major spoilers.
Q) Why hasn’t Kojima shown Ocelot yet? Just to please fans when he does show his face? How many countries does Big Boss visit?
A) I saw only two countries.
Q) Could you expand on Those who “don’t” Exist? Are they the cobra unit brought back as cyborgs what can you tell us about that and how big of a role do they play?
A) What? No. They are cyborg prototypes controlled by a ‘hivemind’. Cipher controlled them, but Skull Face stole the whole project for himself when he made XOF independent.
Q) Has the opening hospital scene been changed since its first showing? Does it play out differently? Does the game immediately open up with Snake waking up? Are there QTEs in the cutscenes?
A) The camera is completely different. The one used in the trailers is meant to confuse the viewer.
Q) When does Snake become a demon?
A)When he hijack a missile launcher and destroy a complete soviet base in Africa, right in the middle of a town with innocent people.
Q) Will Big Boss work with Skullface? Who is venom snake? Release date for PC?
A) Venom Snake is Punished Snake. Some people will call him Venom and some people will call him Snake. He calls himself Punished. At the end there’s a twist there. But as I said, silence.
Q) WHY DOES ISHMAEL HAVE THE SAME VOICE AS SNAKE?
A) He’s not real. He’s Skull Face. Big Boss is remembering when he saved him with The Boss in that hospital.
Q) What happened to Amanda, Chico and Cecile?
A) Cecile will be back and will be important. Amanda is not back. Skull Face killed Chico in front of Big Boss when the chopper was damaged. They don’t crash, they land, and they are surrounded by XOF. And yes, there’s an island, but you don’t see that in the end of GZ.
Q) Is that blonde kid liquid or Raiden??
A) It’s Liquid. You recruit him.
Q) What is Quiet’s story? What is she being tortured? Does she become an Ally?
A) She was selling information to a mysterious contact and they found her. Later you discover that contact was Kaz.
Q) So what does Code Talker do in the game?
A) He’s the father of The Boss. You are told to find him in Africa so you can get the third part of the Philosopher’s Legacy, which he stole. Ham is his guard and when Code Talker gets killed he joins you to sell you weapons and talks about them in your base.
Q) Does Eva show up?
A) Ending.
Q) Has it really been 9 years?
A) Yes, but not in a coma. He was forced to work for Skull Face during those years. He fought wars for him and eventually the traumatic shit made him enter a shock and he was hospitalized for a few months. That’s what I take, without voices we can only rely on subtitles and some shit was not subbed yet. Also no sync is a pain. Some text had random order, so I had to figure out some of this shit.
Q) Is there a MGO? And do you know any more details about the base raiding. Its seems pretty annoying.
A) No MGO, it’s part of the same game. It wasn’t finished yet. It will be like Dark Souls. A Japanese team did the play testing, because we had no capacity to host the game.
Q) What roles do the Diamond Dogs fill? (Gameplay)
A) Uhh… You guys are pushing me, so I will tell just one thing about the ending. Diamond Dogs merges with FOXHOUND and XOF becomes Outer Heaven.
Q) Does Gray Fox make an appearance? What about outer heaven?
A) No, unfortunately. I don’t know if he’s mentioned, but I never saw him and no one talked about him.
Q) IS CHICO ALIVE?
A) Skull Face cuts his throat in front of Big Boss.
Q) Can you play as your soldiers or other characters? Can you customize what Big Boss wears?
A) Not sure about first, about the second, yes. You can change clothes in the commander’s room. I only saw 4 outfits, Desert cameo, Green cameo (similar to desert but green), GZ and naked. Those didn’t have names so I can’t tell that.
Q) DOES SNAKE WAKE UP WITH AMNESIA?
A) Yes. He doesn’t remember what he did for Skull Face
Q) WHAT IS THE NEW XOF METAL GEAR CALLED?
A) That’s Zeke.
Q) Holy shit. So, is Kaz still working for Zero?
A) Kaz knew they were going to attack Mother Base in GZ.
Q) Quick question. How does mother base work, in terms of customization. I assume you can choose where to place new platforms, but can you paint it? Can you choose different construction “styles”, as the base in E3 looked very different from the invaded Gamescom one. And last point, if you can color your base, can you customize your soldiers in any way, like choosing a standard cameo outfit for them to wear?
A) Yes, you can paint it. You need to buy all the custom paints. Some colors or patters need to be found in-game. Style is all the same, but you can choose different distribution for what goes where.
Q) OK now I know you’re fake. In MGS3 the boss specifically says the philosophers killed her father.
A) That was to hide the third part of the legacy. They were supposed to catch him and get it only for themselves, since no one else knew.
Q) What exactly makes Kaz and Big Boss part ways? How does Ocelot act around Big Boss? Like he did in MGS3, trying to be cool or more mature and collected? Did he say “you’re pretty good”?
A)Ending. About Ocelot, he acts different. Like really distant, I believe during the game he’s not entirely sure if Big Boss is still the Big Boss he met a few years back. After all what happened during 9 years prior TPP he kinda doubts about him and for me it seems like he’s being tested.
Q) We see Big Boss escaping with Ocelot. The Boss is nowhere to be seen.
A) Dude, Big Boss apparently remembers how they rescued him through the eyes of Skull Face.

On apprend que le jeu online, dans ses versions PC/PS4/XBO, sera jouable en mode coopération jusqu'à... 16 joueurs simultanément, 12 pour les moutures PS3/360.
C'est une relative déception, le chiffre étant relativement bas au regard des espoirs portés par le projet.

Le service sera lancé le premier septembre de cette année, et sera ouvert à tous les acheteurs de Phantom Pain.
Metal Gear Online, produit par une branche américaine de Konami, est un peu le pendent metalgearesque de GTA Online.

Tenez, pour ceux qui n'auraient pas suivi les remous de cette ténébreuse affaire autour de Konami et Kojima, voici une vidéo de 8 minutes qui retrace les temps forts de ce drama éminemment geekien : p

Apparemment, Konami, à la différence de Square Enix, soigne vraiment les versions PC de ses jeux, si l'on en croit Durante, l'auteur de différents tweaks améliorant les titres non-optimisés.

Selon lui, la version PC de Ground Zeroes est tout simplement "impressionnante".

C'est une bonne nouvelle ça , surtout pour les Pcistes

Au fait, une question me brûle les lèvres concernant cette série : pourquoi "Solid" dans le titre depuis l'opus PS1 ?
Les premiers épisodes, ceux sortis dans les années 80, ne comportaient pas cet adjectif.

Bonne question.

Je peux juste te dire que le nom de code complet du héros est Solid Snake.

Solid Snake, Liquid Snake et Solidus Snake étant les noms des 3 clones issus du projet Les Enfants Terribles, clones de Big Boss alias Naked Snake.

Ca voudrait logiquement dire que les MGS racontent l'histoire de Solid Snake, c'est ça ?
Ton dieu vivant a-t-il déjà songé à raconter les aventures des autres clones, via des séries parallèles "Metal Gear Liquid" ou "Metal Gear Solidus" ?

Sauf que tous les jeux sorti après celui de la PS1 portaient la mention Solid, y compris ceux qui reprenaient l'histoire de Big Boss, donc... On est pas plus avancé : D

Inutile de les mettres en avant avec des spin off, puisque toute l'histoire de Liquid ou de Solidus est expliqué lors des différents opus. Il y a des Wiki très complet a ce niveau là, qui prennent des journées a lire. La seule inconnue était de savoir comment Naked Snake  avait pu devenir le Big Boss des deux premiers Metal Gear.

Et c'est pour cela qu'il y a eu MGS3, les deux opus sur PSP et enfin le jeu que nous attendons tous ( :p) MGS V.

MGS V ?
pour moi, il est déjà sorti l'an dernier, le reste à venir n'étant qu'un gros DLC!
