Apparently MGSV's main theme is Race/Revenge

Kojima wrote this on Twitter a while ago.

MGS1 = GENE

MGS2 = MEME

MGS3 = SCENE

MGS4 = SENSE

MGSPW = PEACE

Now, he's revealed what issues MGSV will focus on.

"This time, with Metal Gear Solid 5, the themes are a little bit different than in previous games in the series.

"We're taking on some very heavy subjects such as race and revenge. This makes the tone much darker. As a result, I wanted Snake to have a more subdued performance, expressed through subtle facial movements and tone of voice rather than words."

Kojima revealed that the game takes place in 1984, when Snake is 49 years old.

"Therefore," he said, "we needed someone who could genuinely convey both the facial and vocal qualities of a man in his late forties.

"It's different from anything we've done before, so I asked a producer friend of mine in Hollywood, Avi Arad, for advice. He's the one who introduced me to Kiefer Sutherland [who voices Snake in the game] and I was like, 'why didn't I think of that?'"

Kojima later said: "The system has been changed to embrace an open-world game design. It's different from previous stealth games and results in a more tension-packed experience.

"This new type of stealthy gameplay, along with the new creative process and realistic characters, will add more depth than ever before to the storytelling and atmosphere."

During Kojima's presentation the game's name featured on-screen behind him with the subtitle "Tactical Espionage Operations."

Meh. So it'll be even more heavy-handed than usual? I dunno if that's necessarily a good thing. Kojima clearly doesn't know his own strengths and weaknesses as a writer.

No wonder he said it might be too taboo

strange i re-quote what I wrote in another thread:

"Shouldn't Big Boss be in his 60 during this period seeing as in MGS1 Liquid said that "Big Boss was in his late 50 when they created his copies" so Big Boss shouldn't be in his late 40."

oh well lets hope the game turns out to be good.

Sounds epic. I have to get around to playing MGS 1 & 2. Only finished 3 & 4.

2 does seems to be the least liked out of the four, but I have to try it at least.

2 tends to be the most polarizing game of the series.  I think it was amazing for its time and still damn good today.  Its the best actual stealth game in the series if that means anything to you.  

I find 2 and 3 to be the best overall games in the series.  And though 2 gets its share of hate around here, most MGS fan communities tend to argue between 2 and 3 as being the best as well.

And no matter what anybody thinks of it, the events that take place in MGS2 and the story surrounding it have massive impact on the entire series.  You could never understand the series fully without it.
