Kojima has been on a trip to visit ‘people who supported MGSV TPP development’, launch commemoration video in the works
Over the past couple of days Hideo Kojima has been on what he calls his ‘V debriefing trip’, during which he visited several people who (most of them) were involved with the game’s production in one way or another. Below are his pictures of the trip as well as his comments.
“Visiting Kyle Cooper who designed title logo & conceptual design of iDROID. My dearest friend for more than 16 yrs.”
“Visiting Justin Burnett, music composer. Had greeting chat w/ Harry (producer this time) thru Skype as he’s in London.”
“Greeting w/Robin A Downes, voice of Kaz Miller. He gave me del Toro’s “THE STRAIN” SE BD as he’s in voice of Master.”
“Visited Avi, Hollywood producer of MGS film, best friend for 10yrs. He appears in MGSV bonus disc.Great bday surprise!”
“Shooting for 9/1 launch commemoration video. W/ Geoff Keighley & Greg Miller”
“MGSV TPP launch commemoration video out 9/1 is directed by my great friend, Ryuhei Kitamura. Had Cuban lunch break.”
“Visiting Troy Baker who played Ocelot, to report MGSVTPP completion and shoot video for the launch.”
“Gave OCELOT GEAR by J,F.RAY MGSV collabo sunglasses & to Robin A Downes KAZ GEAR respectively. HIDEO GEAR for myself.”
“Visited JJ to directly inform MGSV TPP completion, who have been supporting me for a long time.”
“Celebrated on great reviews of MGSV TPP by people in Hollywood. Thank you very much.”
“Trip to visit people who supported MGSV TPP development had done. There were many I missed due to my tight schedule though.”
“It was such a memorable V debriefing trip. Going back to MB.”
Judging from Kojima’s comments a ‘9/1 launch commemoration video’ will also appear on September 1st, which will probably be posted on one of the official channels.

Such feels…but I can’t stress enough that Greg Miller is such an annoying person. I really can’t stand this guy!
He has a very punchable face and I’ll never live down the fact that he got to hang out with Kojima AND play MGSV early.
He talks way too fast for me sometimes.
is just his personality… i dont see him being a shitty person ,is just the way he talks can sometimes sounds rude but i dont think he do it to hurt or annoy someone. i think he sometimes try too hard to look profesional or likeable and you can kinda notice that… i dont know.

More Stephanie is always great :3
Yea, just a little bit longer and S has come to all of us.
Here she is playing GZ: http://www.twitch.tv/stefaniejoosten
The chat is fucking cancer, i really pity her that she streams for such virgins. Jesus.
Wow, they closed her channel, i wonder why…
🙂

Stefanie is so pretty, I dont usually like model-type girls, but she really looks like an angel.
“Where’s mine?” “Uh………”
Her speechless reaction…makes me love her more.
He’s friends with so many great dudes and very nice of him to visit MGSV cast.
Thank you for everything Kojima-san ^_^. I bet I will cry during the commemoration video T_T.
Reading the article with this song as background: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgKAFK5djSk
I drop a tear.
“It was such a memorable V debriefing trip. Going back to MB.”
Well, not for too long I guess. He is leaving soon. (At December I think.) I’m worried. Kojima will be ok, but if he is going to make games he will need to build a studio again, engine, development team, concept… Too much stuff to do. Basically he is going to waste some time again just to restructure new studio and don’t forget about a publisher… I can’t see Kojima going indie or at the kickstarter. He is too big for that.
If I was a HK I would drop video game development, because it is too hard… and that’s why I’m not HK.
Good luck.
He might go do movies? Who knows.
Maybe he’s already building a new Mother Base.
He can’t. He is under the contract. He can search a publisher but that’s it…
he looks proud and healthy good to see :’-)
Guys on a kind of related note, I was looking at Ken’s twitter (Ken Ichiro Imazumi) and wow, he said that programmers DIDN’T take summer VACATIONS to speed up the pc launch date…
Huge respect to them, they are the real mvp…
Yes, and people are still giving them a hard time.
https://twitter.com/Ken1555/status/637902534074437632
I read all the comments and I’m disgusted at some elitists out there.
I’m sorry… But these guys are just stupid elitists for no reason.
KojiPro dev team from JP and LA deserve the award for being honest and productive for all of their years.
I hate to read some people whine at Ken on his tweets.
The folks have done amazing job so should be respected a bit more…
It’s a hard wait, but I agree, they deserve better than that. The communication towards fans/forwarding of reliable infomormation has flaws, but that not the fault of the dev team.
Im bit out of the loop…what comments are we talking about here?
The comments for the tweet.
In the Justin Burnett (music composer) photo we can clearly see at the extreme left a very cool moog voyager alongside a very tiny and equally cool dave smith mopho, uh sorry, my synthesizer geekiness always comes out when less expected…
Nice catch!
My download hasnt started yet. Im going crazy.
Same here, and no info about my ce as gamestop phone lines have been tied up for a week for me
This pain… is ours.
This seemed appropriate …as the title suggests, and being as were on the final stretch 🙂

Hopefully that also goes for Kojima’s career. 🙂
Agreed! 🙂
that song is so epic
Can’t wait to listen this while sneakin in the open world and admiring the beautiful scenery.
Hi guys I want to share my 2 day experiance with mgsv. ( No spoilers ).
– Hospital scenes are so HARD and POWERFUL. You will be suprised. There are two scenes that will make you think ” ohh wait , this is twisted “. One of the best beginings in video games history I am telling you.
-This game is HUGE. So much to do , so much to develop , so much to find. Everything is smart and make sense. If you canot do special task of the missions that means you don;t have good equipment 🙂 Yes. Probably it is the first MGS game where itemes are not useless. Everything is important. For example. had a troble with 3 guards ( I want S rank for mision ). They see each other. What can I do… ah wait. I developed SMOKE GRANADE. Let;s throw it inside of that small group. Throwing… and what I see. Guards are choking , they don;t see shit. I started to run and made CQC Combo : ) No one saw me and the S Rank is Still there.
– A.I of the guards is something that you will not find in any games ! They think like online player ! I was testing my skill and started to shoot to everyone. They called backup. Ok I will wait for them… BUT WAIT wtf is this. The backup came from the other side of the camp and they are doing STEALTH against me !! they are not shooting they run low from behind ! I am telling you guys that in this game you will avoid guard of play during the night. It is so hard to do everything with only yranq gun. You must use technology , knocking , horse , everything that mother base gives you is important for S Rank. Kojima is a smart creator.
-Afganistan looks beautiful on ps4. It is not perfect but rocks and envronment is so beoutiful. I made so much photos.
-Story is very mysterious. You beeter listen to tapes. What characters are not saying in cutscenes you will find on tapes.
-Music and finding new tapes is one of the most addicting things.
-Mother base is small.You must try hard to develop new struts. 2 days is not enough to do this.
-And yes I found D-dog : ) But he is too small to combat for now 😀 I must wait more time.
-No sign of quiet yet xd 😀 ( scared ).
-Skulls for me are… never mind 😛
DELETE!
Just review. No spoilers and no theory.
Sorry dont care…getting to close now, no more..NO MORE I CANT TAKE IT ARGHHHHH
I want to be a reviewer hehehe : ( ( xd )
Ok i will delete.. I know why. meybe people want to see this on theyr own. Not read it. Sry man.
Good, you have a heart man… 🙂
Sure.
I anderstand you. Hype is big and some people want to share… Not yet , just not yet xd
Good that some understand our feelings ;)…
For the last tme I’m sorry gatsu!
For what?
P.S. apology accepted :)…
These people certainly deserves to get something back from Kojima. Still, I cant but help being mad about people getting the game pre-release. Dammit.
Kojima appearing at your doorstep with a TPP copy, the loveliest of surprises.
Wouldju rike to pray?
https://twitter.com/SimonPlatano/status/637850146177478657
What do you guys think about the black hound rumour
I hope you remember I’m leguywhodrownedquiet
Never forget ( ‘ ‘ )7
Ah thank you
What happened to randomsoldier?
Euh It was on someone else’s phone lol and it was random sniper . I just downloaded chrome on my iPad Air
Ok :D, welcome back again.
ROFL
I know you must be super pissed off but…
What D:? I’m not ;D.
I’m super happy :), because get to play TPP after only few hours.
Finally starting to feel like the waiting is over, lol.
Tpp is available in the store where I always buy video games I’m also super happy! Surprised a mauritian store broke street dates ! Definitely getting it tomorrow since it’s in limited stocks
I see :), well congratz brother . You better be fast then if its limited. Still day after tomorrow for my Steam copy but it’s so close.
how… a few hours??
Well it starting to feel like it xD. I mean almost Monday already, so few hours 😀 lol. I’m of course getting it on Tuesday.
Not sure if my ps4 CE come tomorrow or on 1st day.
Well we will all know when **you have it…gatsu, as thats the moment he site will be over-run by spoiler trolls, with no one to protect us lol
LOL, don’t worry I’m not alone on guard patrol ;). The trolls would’ve overrun the place without Golgari, crimson and Nyx haha. Easy to jump between TPP and MGI when play on PC. 😉
But I might not appear here super much when start TPP, because too mind-blown to take my eyes off the beginning.
BTW, thank you guys coz here, the anti-troll shield AI looks like it has been developed by Huey or Hal themselves ! Fantastic job !
Even Big Boss feels it…
30 hours left. and a wait till noon for me 😀
Was that black hound that some upcoming game, and the rumor of Kojima being involved with it?
Yes!
It’d be awesome =), but I wonder if he start to work on a new project so soon.
If it is even slightly spoiler I don’t wanna know. Also, what happened to your old name? I think about you every time I see that trailer!
WTF ?
The rumor says kojimas next game is called black hound!
Nice to see someone still remembers me !
OMG She’s a Twitch streamer!
https://twitter.com/stefanieGMJ/status/638000968999702528
Here’s the link to her stream.
http://www.twitch.tv/stefaniejoosten
Say whhaaatt?
And she’s live now. Playing some GZ as it seems 🙂
AVOID THE CHAT! Some asshole is spilling major plots.
Dat hotness!
jap Voices are brutal man
really hope we get a voice option on PS4 maybe as dlc or whatever
is it just me or is she making sexy noises alle the time haha
hmm?
its says the channel has been closed….
!?
maybe because some people made spoiler comments in the chat.
Dont they simply block the users who made the spoiler comments?
not the streamer acc
She said, she had no mods, so there wasn’t a way. And just blocking the user who’s streaming and not every single person who spoils is faster, so it was the most efficient way. Not saying, that I like this method :/
she had no mods?
well i guess that explains it ……such a shame
https://twitter.com/stefanieGMJ/status/638023944348405761 release the fiddles =,(
https://twitter.com/popcicle/status/638029915326038016
Let’s fulton Twitch Support, then interrogate them in a non-conventionnal way !
BTW, It’s the first time I post on MGI. Glad to join you guys !
Welcome!
Welcome to our Mother Base. the Animal Conservation platform is this way and the shower is along this sidewalk. Enjoy your stay!
Welcome dude
Welcome good sir!
Her Account was banned ! D,:
This site is too addicting
guys do you know if it’s possible to put your own music from an usb stick into phantom pain on ps4?
dont see why not but prob wont be actual ingame like the pc version
Ps4 can play music while you play games so you don’t need the ps3 system where you had to import the music into the game. I thought this would be your case as I had the same question 😉
its better the system in ps3 because it mute the game music. in ps4 the game music wont stop while you listen your usb or spotify music.
True that. Never tried to turn off the ingame music in ingame options. Can this be done?
you cant in gz. I dont know in tpp.
Far away, yet so close (or viceversa).
These final hours, feel like the torture scene from the series… *cries*
When I open my Steam.. The Hype is On!
Tomorrow will be our National Heroes Day here..
Then on September 1st will be Our Hero’s Day!!!
too bad we have a very slow and a Fair Usage Policy for our internet here in the Philippines!
I hope there is a Physical Copy for PC..
If not can anyone out there send me a Steam Backup after you guys download it, just burn it in a blank DVD disc.. PLEASE!
TPP gets physical PC release too.
Really Sir? If that is TRUE so YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m Very Very Happy right now!
(T^T)7
I’m not 100% sure was it on September 1 or a little later :).
But stores in my country say Sep 1 so I guess that’s how it is.
Actually, according to one of the users on the Steam forums, the physical disc of TPP only includes a 9MB installer. It seems that PC users will still have to download off Steam. Bummer.

After seeing this.. Playing my save MGSV TPP Trailer.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Phantom Pain is real!
WHY!?
I’m not sure if you should be happy about that
This means that you have to download the game at the end, right?
So he visited Greg Miller but not Yong 🙁
Imagine a video where kojima would show up in yongs room 😀
In a cardboard box!
Lmao.
Maybe he is already in his room…
Unfortunately I think greg has more of a relationship with kojima than yong does.
Never liked greg miller much. Something about him seemed …smug and slightly like he is trying too hard.
yeah, i used to like him, but he’s turning more and more into a clown who stands for nothing. He’s a great entertainer and thats it..
OMG when does the PRELOAD starts for PS4?
http://blog.memes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/loud-noises.png
I only found the statement for Steam :/
https://twitter.com/Konami/status/637381419283562496
it has to be today. I have mine in rest mode.
Just started….
All I can say about the pics above is simply: RESPECT!
Hail Kojima! (‘ ‘)/
Does anyone have that “MGSV: The Fucking Wait” image someone posted here a few days ago? I can’t seem to find it anywhere…
Toma
Thanks man!
mental endurance game haha i like that
well this sucks…
Geez…Twitch goes down the drain and youtube gaming is horrible as well…
everyone had high hopes about YT gaming tho…
I can’t even officially watch it in Germany. Have to use proxy’s and stuff to get it working.
Hola Unblocker might help…
I know my way around it 😉
You can count yourself lucky that you don’t have institutions like GEMA or GEZ in your countries. The fun blocker in Germany on YouTube since its start.
All the other fake women gamers probably ganged up against her and had her
kicked as not to steal there 16 year old male viewers pocket money lol
https://twitter.com/popcicle/status/638029915326038016
I wonder what ToS she could have possibly violated lol
Maybe because twitch/es.. computer defense systems picked up that quiet was playing mgs and crapped out not knowing what was actual reality lolll
😀
I think we’re at least 2 console generations away from that kind of graphic and processing power for systems to make that mistake.
lol, well i cant think of a reason why she would be banned… might aswell come up with something silly 🙂
Not so silly afterall tbh.
I think that we can expect photo realistic graphics late 20s till early 30s.
With VR coming along nicely and IPS monitors finally make their way into gaming with decent reaction times and sizes.
Yep, I think we, as gamer, will get some nice little gifts over the next 20 years.
Gosh I’ll be almost 50 then :/
I’m old…
stop making me feel old lol, but seriously being a old school gamer i will say once games ( if devs decide to go that route ) hit photo-realism.. it wont be good, trust me .. with all the crap about video games cause violence BULLSHIT etc and because gaming will never be treated equally with films,
full photo-realism gaming with any violence will never go down well, and it will only make it harder and harder for devs to share there vision, let alone get rated… and for the gaming community of the future i dont want to see them living in a PG gaming world 🙂
True true, but we don’t know what the future holds so.
I just hope that I still play games when I’m hitting the 50 :O
long live the… OLD game 🙂
Me too brother. Me too.

#secretceremony
Not so secret anymore, is it 😀
Nice! <3
XD I just realised after TPP is released, Robin Atkin Downes will probably have to live with all the fiddle jokes that the fans will throw at him for the rest of his voice acting career! haha.
He’s going to be fantastic in TPP though! 🙂
He makes up for it in TPP. Pinky promise
Yeah, I know he will be great in TPP. 😀
I actually liked the fiddle line for some weird reason …. haha
Probably because it reminds me of Vegeta’s “IT’S OVER 9000!!!!”
In the not so good spanish translation that part is They have fooled us like childrens.
That sounds really wierd XD
Im not expert in english.
say it in Spanish please
Nos engañaron como a niños.
You said it correctly.
Just noticed the new poll! PS4 and PC here!
Same here brother =).
Any others getting multiple versions?
Yeah. My CE is already here for the PS4.
PC version I will buy for January to play with some friends.
yup.. only coz im impatient, ce on order but soon as it known the preload is up and goung on ps4 im doing it, yes im a idiot :p
Yesterday i realized something too. I’ve been a fan since MGS and every time a new MGS game came out i would be so hyped while my friends were like “Yeah man good for you man” and meh. This is the reason why i didn’t notice this sooner but.. It’s not just fans hyping this time! My friends and colleges are all so frickin’ excited about TPP!! Today they remembered i’ve been playing MGS games since forever and are sending me messages to explain them the plot!!! XDD I’m was really fighting the urge of trolling them until i started explaining MGS2 and they genuinely thought i was trolling XDD This day of wait it’s actually going fast for me X) having soo much fun ^.^
In 1987, we felt quite alone hyping MG on MSX. The rom cartridge was not even available nearby. I live in France and it was only available in Paris in a market named Maubert Electronique Boutique, as a japan import.
Fortunately, after MG1 and MG2 on MSX2, Kojima and Konami decided to shoot the franchise as well on the PlayStation and MGS was born !! We were really lucky because a few more very capable Konami franchise’s had not this chance.
V has Come to
DAMN IT RAIDEN GET A GRIP!
XDD that was an awesome one!
Well that just killed my boner…
Sweet, my GZ save data is all set up and ready for transfer to TPP (once it releases)! 😀
What about everyone else??
100% ready to insert gently into TPP!
http://i669.photobucket.com/albums/vv58/WILLTHEALMIGHTY_bucket/SnakeBanner1.jpg
Savor that moment, sir! Savor it!!
Same, I just 100% 2 days ago and extracted every unique character, though I’m sure we won’t have anything special for 100% it, waste of time? probably not I had fun.
Just bragging rights haha. I think you only need to own GZ and extract all the unique characters to get the special bonuses. 🙂
there is already a freak on ps3 that got platinum trophy.
i call bullsh*t! or hacking :/
or played with the official guide directly on every mission.
that is NOT called playing though XD
i call it cheating on the system and yourself.
It reminds me of those times when I played WoW. There was always someone who wanted to be first one to reach level cap asap :P…
Stupid when thinking that the official release date of TPP isn’t even here yet lol.
Wow that’s crazy…
i wonder why someone can do this to himself. if you don’t enjoy a game like this then you don’t deserve to play it i think.
my download has started. it wasnt automatic.
Way ahead of my DL >_<.
But it says 4gb. I dont want to download the rest on tuesday.
its ghost downloading, if you go to the mgs 5 menu… press options button and look at info :).. whats your region
I always wondered why they did that with the remaining download time, instead of saying you can play a tiny bit as it’s still downloading. Using the options button on the game menu isn’t very obvious to many.
the account is from usa but Im from argentina. today I was thinking it comes at 00am but I was wrong. its at 1am.
To the guys who are playing the game already do me a solid( ‘ v ‘ ) and check something for me: Can you turn of the ingame music from the ingame options? Thank you 🙂
i would probably assume thats a yess bud, cutscenes hmmm maybe…
in GZ it’s not possible that’s why i’m asking 😉
oh really, sorry i never knew that.. never check in the menu
Hey peeps.. when your preloads start on ps4 etc, can you share your region or country so we can get idea of how its moving along, cheers
Canada / EST region here. Sure enough, it looks like it’ll be playable at 12am Tuesday.
cheers, well thats one preload cofirmation down..
I just realized something. It’ll get rather quiet here come September 1st.
I don’t know how i feel about that.
Yeah it will be quiet maybe ;)… But it’s expected as everyone enjoy the best game ever.
I feel little sad about it, but will visit here while playing and later we all can share our experiences :)…
Excited for that!!!!
What does the future hold for MGI anyway?
Will we convert to a Church to Worship our God and Creator?
I’ve asked this question before…will it follow any future Konami related mgs? Will it follow kojima work afterwards? Both? I petsonally don’t care as long as it still exists, but I am slightly saddened because I feel like this, right now and perhaps for a little bit after launch may be the largest this community may get, and most activity the community here sees.
We’ll have to see what happens, but for now the plan is to follow Konami’s MGS and Kojima’s endeavors both. And of course Metal Gear Online, which isn’t out yet.
Glad to hear it.
Must not forget MGO!
Starting to feel abit….
