the phantom pain, new mgs?

Some people are throwing around the idea that this isn't MGS5, but in fact MGS"V"

V not in Roman numeral 5, but V as in Vita, possibly?

if it was a Vita title it would be listed under the platform section in under moby's website.

the website is here
however, there is no ruling out that it may indeed come out later like how the MGS HD collection did for the vita, so there's always that possibility.

I'm just impressed that there are not two but three metal gear games coming out next year! and three companies are taking care of all three titles.

Do we really have any concrete proof of Moby Dick Studios existence? There is still good chance that this was made in KojiPro offices, and that MDS was created only for marketing purposes.

I wouldnt be surprised if the trailer's big flying whale engulfed in flames was a crazy reference to Moby Dick, and they intentionally gave that name to the team working on the game, or it could be the opposite. They added a huge whale as a reference to the studio's name

Kojima likes that sh!t. MGS has always been an awesome example of post-modernism in videogames

The wale is a reference to the seal that ate the hand of the main protagonist: Buster Bluth. This game is a clear sequel to the last season of Arrested Development.

How could I have not thought of that. Nice

No doubt kojima will be involved in some way for all three titles, but it's the initial man power konami was probably looking for to start the projects.

Konami probably has bits of their staff scattered sharing information with the other two companies to guide them in their own direction; with probably joint artists that translate shinkawa's art...so that they look in relation to each other.

whether or not Moby is a offspring of konami, it's pretty clear the intruding of a new company is more about resources, and accepting new positions to tackle this addition to the franchise. I'm surprised they didn't go to mercury steam but it's probably because they're booked with lords of shadow 2.

It's not really that hard to make projects using the same characters and title. All you would need is access to the lore of the franchise, art references, and a staff eager to proceed.

episodic metal gear maybe?

like in telltale games,

There is no registered swedish company called "moby dick studio", so unless they have registered another legal company name, the company is fake.

I remember right after the VGA I read somewhere at the party there were Kojima Production's staff wearing Moby Dick Studio shirts, so there is that.

 

[orangpelupa]

isn't that tweet say Moby dick staff in one place with kojima production people?

Could be that too. I don't remember where I saw that article...
