What the fuck was Kojima thinking when he let this cover pass?
The other one was way better.
>>285575657
The american audience.
>>285575657
i like it
>>285575847
I have high hopes the one you posted will be for the US audience. Great contrast with Ground Zeroes cover
>>285575657
this looks like it would sell more copies to typical americans than
>>285575847
Kojima is a big western fag so he probably listened to what his marketers told him about the american audience. He's not like Naughty Dog and will tell them to fuck off and keep Elle on the cover.
>tfw there will never EVER be another Shinkawa box again
T-thanks Kojima
>>285575657
Maybe it has something to do with his scars? Some serious emphasis is put on them over here.
>>285576013
Not putting Ellie on the cover of Last Of Us would be fucking retarded
>>285575847
seems like the collectors edition is getting that version
>>285576091
>there will never EVER be another Shinkawa box again
Ground zeroes had one, idiot. reverse cover art.
>>285575847
Where's the version of this but drawn in that MGS style? It's easily the best possible cover.
>>285576182
Bullcrap. The cover was released in tie with the collectors edition reveal.
>>285575868
This.
This is real? Holy fucking shit. I thought it was just bait. This is like the worst cover I've ever seen barring some of the most legendary bad covers.
>>285576139
>Not putting Ellie on the cover of Last Of Us would be fucking retarded
this is a good read 4 u
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/121064-Naughty-Dog-Flat-Out-Refused-to-Change-Last-of-Us-Cover
Again, kojima is a weeaboo for the west so i doubt he'd tell em to fuck off. he wants the western $$$
>>285575657
That big V is unnecessary.
>>285575847
Agreed. It's nice and simple.
Is Ground Zeroes going to be included in this?
>>285576474
Without the v it would look outrageously inane.
>>285576556
You done goofin
Seeing as some countries usually end up with reversible cover art, I wouldn't worry about it.
What the fuck was CDPR thinking when they let this cover pass?
>no one realised the V looks like a ! sign
>>285576690
Yet another fucked up cover. Thank God I'm getting it in my glorious Polish Edition
>>285575657
>>285575847
They're both fucking boring
Give me Shinkawa cover or something like the perfect balance that was achieved by this.
This is baffling. Why would they use a different cover BUT include the old one on the steelbook? What the fuck, Kojima?
>>285577032
>Boring
>Hurr durr look at this hyper intensive cover. My god i have epilepsia
Yeah, no.
>>285576809
All covers on PC, x1 and ps4 from other regions looks the same.
>>285577451
I think some steelbook designs are unique. Correct me if I'm wrong.
peace walker (portable ops?) was the start of shit covers
>>285577074
I want that bionic arm so god damn bad but I really don't want to buy the PS4 version.
When does the collectors edition go on preorder? I cant find any info on it. I wont have any trouble getting one ordered at my gamestop, i live in a hick area.
>>285575657
I don't think it's that bad. It could do without the massive V, not good but not bad either. >>285575847
is still leagues better, however.
>>285577032
>Shinkawa cover
never EVER ;_;7
>>285577074
Bloody hell, what a mess of a collection. Box art is different to steel box art is different to disc art. And that "CLASSIFIED" on the map. What were they thinking?
>>285577032
Can we get Shinkawa away from this retarded homoerotic soap-opera-with-soldiers series?
His talents would be a thousand times more useful anywhere else right now.
>>285575657
>Not even a Shinkawa cover for the collectors
Christ Konami, you had one job.
>>285576463
Fuck off tripfag
>>285577198
There's words spilling out all over your post but none of them actually seem to mean anything.
You should probably get that looked at.
>>285577074
This is so shit
>Steelbook, but with a shitty CG cover instead of Shinkawa art which is what everyone wants
>A prosthetic arm, that's half the size of the jap one
>Bullshit cosmetic DLC
>A diamond dogs case that just takes up space
>A map with CLASSIFIED scrawled across it for some reason
>implying european mgs2 cover wasn't the best
>>285580639
We had the same one in America too.
>>285580639
disgustingly misleading
is that a exclamation mark shaped like a V?
or does it mean that two alerts have been triggered and that quiet is actually car jack malone.
You guys are fucking panicking for nothing. I'm 100% sure it'll have a reversible cover like the PS4 version of Ground Zeroes (I don't remember if the PS3 version had one and I didn't see the 360/bone covers)
>>285580208
>"CLASSIFIED" on the map
I'm pretty sure it's like that on promo images to not spoil the map.
>>285580823
its supposed to be that way though
>>285580903
it could be a tiny hand holding up two ridiculously long fingers to make the V for victory sign
>>285581007
Tbf not everyone gets the reversible cover art. I mean the US got a shitty render of Old Snake for MGS4 didn't they? Then the EU got the same for GZ with no reversible cover.
>>285576706
>>285580823
brilliantly misleading
![metal-gear-solid-2-sons-of-liberty-thumb[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/iP7NEEu.jpg "metal-gear-solid-2-sons-of-liberty-thumb[1].jpg")
>>285575847
It looks like a movie poster, in a bad way. I wish they'd do something like this again.
>>285575657
V for Victory.
>>285576706
>>285580903
Al Leong confirmed for TPP.
Two metal gear exclamation points together.
lel Kojima troll god.
>>285581338
>>285581191
I don't know about 4 because I have the Greatest Hits release.
>>285577731
Yeah, Portable Ops had pretty crap covers universally.
>bionic arm replica isn't full-size
Lame as fuck.
>>285575657
At least we'll still get a Shinkawa cover in Europe, r-right?
>>285582037
We didn't even get a reversible cover for Ground Zeroes.
>>285582003
I think they wanted to keep the CE under 100$ for availability's sake.
>>285581338
V forFUCK YOU
>>285575657
>Tactical Espionage Operations
Is this just something to do with the lore, or is it ANOTHER sub-title?
It seems non sequitor to me and would make the cover look like less of a mess if they removed it.
>>285582298
Changed it with Peace Walker due to base building.
>>285582003
Don't worry in a few years you can replace your own arm with a real function one
>>285582298
Started with Peace Walker due to the mission based structure of the game.
Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain are similar and they kept the subtitle.
>>285582003
Japanese robot arm is full-size. Westerners get a small one to keep the costs low.
>>285575847
>>285582614
Who's gonna be the first to masturbate with that robo hand?
>>285577869
just wait, in a few years you could buy the bionic arm alone.
>>285582614
Where on earth am I supposed to put a severed robot hand?
>>285582614
How much?
No Shinkawa special edition cover, what the fuck?
>>285582996
$100 USD for the one westerners are getting with the smaller arm.
>>285582813
Who do you think?
>>285582954
Up your ass, retard.
>>285583085
Stop being so insensitive. Shinkawa died just a couple months ago.
>>285582954
Have it hold your controller when you're not using it.
>>285583085
Maybe they just haven't revealed it yet. I know they didn't reveal GZ's reversible till a couple months after they showed the normal art.
>>285583139
Will The west get one with a full sized arm?
I hope Europe gets a better cover, like MGS4. But in the end it's just a cover.
>>285575868
>The American Audience
>PAL version cover art
Yep
>>285583481
Totally doing that
>>285583626
Nope
>>285583676
the one in OP is europe, pegi rating
>>285575657
i like it too, but the red V is off-putting. would be beter with just the picture.
This will be released on PS3 too right?
>>285584125
Limited editions are for ps4, xbone only
>>285583626
Any idea where to look for the full-sized replica? It's pretty much the only cool thing, besides the game.
>>285584125
Collector's edition are PS4 and Xbone only. TPP is on pretty much everything bar the WiiU, generally.
>>285584283
Japanese-only, so CDJapan or Play-Asia would be your best bet. You'll have to fork out a decent amount, though.
>>285575657
He's trying to kill Metal Gear Solid.
Hasn't that been clear the entire time?
>>285584396
Thanks. Shame the japs hate us, I was pretty hyped for CE.
>>285575657
Should of stuck with the original X-ray or just the blue title.
>>285583676
Nigger, Europe also has the left cover.
>>285584919
>Should of
Also, the X-ray cover was shit.
more like
the income pain
amirite
>>285584919
Fuck no, the X-ray cover is even worse. Looks amateur as hell.
>>285575657
>>285575847
>>285582614
>>285584919
What about this one?
omg, it comes with a map! i love maps. the rest is shit though.
>>285585483
Or this one?
I want to yank on that ponytail
why is everyone suddenly hot in this game? I'd that Ocelot in a heartbeat
>>285582954
I always see pictures of this chick. Where's she even from?
>>285575657
So what happened when the countdown arrived to zero? I couldn't be there to see it
>>285586112
Official release date and unveiling pre-order editions, basically.
>>285583337
bullshit
>not Shinkawa
>>285585543
>matherbase staff
Kek.
Bu that's all we get from GZ?
>>285587046
Having a completed GZ save file with net you the PW/GZ sneaking suit, a unique staff member and some unique missions set in Camp Omega in TPP.
>>285587236
>PW/GZ sneaking suit
thats good enough for me, love that suit.
>>285577032
dat metalic logo never forget
>>285582614
>japan 1/1 scale
>west 1/2 scale
WTF KOJIMA
>>285586568
I'm hoping they unveil this as the reversible cover at some point.
Seriously though, no Shinkawa art for the Collectors Edition? What the fuck were they thinking. Shinkawa artwork is a staple of the series.
>>285585962
Yume Nikki, I would recommend you play it before going to sleep.
>>285588163
konami sells books dedicated to his artwork.
>>285583139
I'm asking for the japanese version.
>>285587993
The japanese CE is probably like 300k yen or something like that.
So when is the steam page going to update so I can pre-order...
>>285591346
Do you even know what you're talking about? 300k yen is 3000 dollars
YOU'LL SEE IT FOR 5 SECONDS AND NEVER AGAIN WHO CARES
>>285591853
Meant 30k
It still is expensive
>>285591959
>not setting that shit up on your entertainment center
>>285587236
>unique missions set in Camp Omega in TPP
is that confirmed?
>>285582996
$250 for the Japan edition.
>>285594072
>over 300$ CAD
Fuck. Guess the NA CE will do.
>>285575657
the red "alert phase" exclamation mark, split into two halves forming a "V"
>"split into two"
gee, wonder what it all means?call me ishmael
big boss is grey fox
>>285595038
underrated post
>>285595845
Ishmael pls go
>>285595538
Meh, I don't think so. I think it's all a red herring. I think Big Boss is just Big Boss in TPP.
TPP is supposed to show us that BB is breaking bad/going insane, so I think we'll see this from his perspective/we'll play as him.
But I hope there will be some kind of a suprise and they will give us more protagonists. But I think there's no body double.
>>285583676
Europe didn't even get the reversible GZ art.
Source: I am Europe
>>285596193
You have to admit, having a new MGS game about grey fox would be awesome.
>>285587236
but thtat's wrong
only the suit and staff carry over and you don't have to 100% it
>>285586568
lose the Dante sticker and it will be perfect.
>>285576274
CE get a steelbook with the old image
>>285575657
His covers have sucked ever since MGS3.
ALWAYS USE THE SHINKAWA ART
ALWAYS.
>>285600265
MGS3 cover was decent, but MGS2 still has the best cover. The MGS4 special edition cover wasn't too bad either.
Who gives a fuck? You fags are just gonna buy it on steam or pirate it.
New trailer when?
