"What about him?" Good lord, that twist really was there the whole time.

''What about him?'' Kaz miller nearly spoiled the entire game.

Big Boss was in a coma for 9 years and this trailer came out 9 years ago. How time flies.. the Phantom Pain still lingers.

"What about him?" I'm alright, Kaz.

Regardless of how MGSV turned out, this is still one of the best trailers of all time, I was so hyped when I first saw this.

the song was literally screaming the twist right in our faces this whole time

"What about him" *plays MGSV* KOJIMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

That first shot ("what about him?") and that last shot are two of the most important shots in all of MGSV. And they were in the first freaking trailer lol

Hideo Kojima: The Man Who Trolled the World

5 years later and I still vividly remember being hyped for this game

"You've been in development for quite some time. Yes, yes. You'd like to know for how long. I'm afraid it's been, nine years."

bro the ending is in the first minute of the trailer. it was right in front of our faces the whole time.

When I see Big Boss near dead, only to be saved by Revolver Ocelot on a horse, and then they ride off, getting chased by a fiery unicorn, I die inside... From pure joy. This is going to be a masterpiece.

4:05 "Won't be cast as demons, creatures you despise" Dude...

did anyone elses heart just sink in this trailer when that music started playing?

"What about him?" They played us like a damn fiddle!!!!

1:02 "What about him?" "He took shrapnel, to the head." Pretty much right there I just said out loud, "Fuck this game."

Now do you remember? Big boss cheated death because of us. We have written our own history. He's big boss, and we are, too.. What are we watching today, we built it. This story-this legend- it's ours. He is us, and we are him. Let's carry this with us, wherever we go. Thank you... Hideo Kojima. From here and out, we players. Are Big Boss.

My 10-year-old brain never had a chance against the original MGS trailer back in 1997. For long I thought nothing could ever surpass that feeling, but I also never could have imagined the perfection that this trailer is before witnessing it. It's as perfect as it gets, even more so after everything is said, done and played.

I can't stop watching this...

If only kojima had another year to finish the game

I just love how many clues to the twist they have in this trailer The lyrics are literally “We are not your kind of people You seem kind of phony Everything's a lie” And in the beginning you are looking at snake through someone else’s eyes Like so many clues

I'm afraid it's been 9 years, 9 years since this video was posted. OMG

why do I get depressed watching these trailers?

Kojima really hit home with every trailer for this game. The game might’ve been unfinished but still was a great game .

MGSV really did have the best trailers ever made

Looking back on this again the part of 2:11 - 2:43 was pure genius how he incorporated the music with the scenes. Revealing that Phantom pain and Mgsv was indeed the same game. PURE genius and EXTREMELY well done!!

I now realize how fitting most of the lyrics are.

Even though we were given an incomplete game, MGSV is a beautiful master piece.

"it's incomplete" "It's missing a big part of the story" Yes, absolutely. It's almost like there was more there that isn't. What do they call that again, Phantom Pain? 🤣

That moment when the motorcycle part never happened like that. Kojima once more played us like a damn fiddle!!! Tricking us till the end with a troll face.

This trailer came out 9 years ago…

I'm afraid it's been.....9 years

It's been 9 years... Kojima truly is the king of trailers!

I like how you can clearly see that Big Boss has no shrapnel horn in the very start of the trailer.

still my favorite trailer of all time lol

2024. Why are we still here, just to suffer

...its been, 9 years.

I can't believe it's been 4 years... I still can't get over the destruction of the base I so dearly built in Peace Walker, playing it from to to bottom. I even got to the worldwide heroes list thing online. And after this game's end? Fuck I got super depressed, I can't get over all that phantom pain (not to mention the missing chapter 3... an entire chapter, missing...)

Best game trailer ive ever seen.

Not your Kind of People Nuclear Sins of the Father New Order - Elegia Kojima Trailer The Phantom Pain has, hands down, the best trailers of all time.

How long ago was this vid post? I’m afraid it’s 9yrs One of best vid until now

Kojima HAD to have been inspired by this song on some of the writings. Else how the FUCK does the song just fit TPP so well? Maybe I'm looking into it too much, but man it's a pleasing match regardless. "Running around *trying to fit in,* wanting to be loved. It doesn't take much for someone to shut you down. When you build a shell, *build an army in your mind,* you can't sit still. And you don't like hanging round the crowd. They don't understand." You dropped by as I was *sleeping.* *You came to see the whole commotion.* And when I woke I started laughing. The joke's on me for *not believing.* We are not your kind of people. Speak a *different language.* We see through your lies. We are not your kind of people. Won't be cast as *demons,* Creatures you despise."

I never played a MGS Game and lots of people said it was amazing so i checked out this trailer and honestly this looks amazing best trailer ever IMO and im defianetly getting it

Here’s to you Hideo Kojima and metal gear rest for ever here in our hearts

This is probably the most hypest trailer of all time

When I watched this trailer 10 months ago I felt bad for BB but now all I feel is emptyness. The medic may be BB but hes not the same person I actually felt like man big boss is going down in a big spiral but now I realise that he just left with out a scratch and played Miller like a damn fiddle he played the medic like a damn fiddle even the player. Well you know what theres to many DAMNED FIDDLES!!!!!!!

It's been nine years alright

MGS5 trailers were so good, I've watched them on repeat, even though I haven't played any MGS* before. Because of them I've played the entire saga. xD *Aight I've played Portable OPS mulitplayer demo with friends and Peace Walker demo on PSP, but that was before my English was good enough to understand what was going on with the story. xd

I CANT WAIT MUCH LONGER!!!!!!!! I HAVE WAITED SOOOOOOOOOOOO LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"What about him?" The spoiler was at our face.

Doctor: Youve been waiting for this game, and yes i know you wanna know how long its been. Im afraid its been... 7 years.

Metal Gear Solid taught games how to be badass.

Damn. For a game that really didn't live up to the hype, this trailer may just have been why. Don't get me wrong now; I think MGSV is a fine game even with it's flaws. However, this trailer was just really, really good. The cinematics, the music, and the editing of the trailer built such an interesting trailer that instantly hooked you into the game. I was excited for it and I was always intrigued by the well-shot cinematography with those unique camera shots that really catches your eye. I really wanted MGSV to capture the sensation the trailer gave. If only there were more cinematics that furthered some form of a plot.

*If Phantom pain was released in 2020* Kaz: 'What about him?' Venom Snake: 'Did you just assume my gender?'

Gives me fuckin chills still, even after beating GZ and TPP. It was fun when we didn't have all the pieces of the puzzle and annualized every cutscene, coming up with wild speculations, good times. I often wonder how different mgsv would have been if it came out this year (fall 2017) with GZ intergrated rather than the rushed fall 2015 where GZ had to be chopped out a year prior. Still a solid game, no pun intended.

man i rode this wave all the way until i knew for sure we weren’t getting a Chapter 3. Kojima gave me the exact feeling of phantom pain, something missing. knowing something should’ve been there, it isn’t but i can feel it. i don’t need a chapter 3 and i already know what happens next

I'm new to the MGS series, so hopefully 1 year is enough to complete the Metal Gear Solid games prior to The Phantom Pain.

I keep getting a get a warm feeling of nostalgia in my heart every time I watch this.

Now the title phantom pain seems so much more clever, after noticing snake loses his arm.

It’s been 9 years……

This trailer is up there with Assassin's Creed Revelations (Iron by Woodkid) trailer, and Dead Island's trailer as being the best I've ever seen! The music really adds a soul to them!

I still don’t think I’ll ever see a trailer for a game like this, ever again. A few years have passed and I’m yet to see anything close to this level in terms of quality, surprise, and graphic enhancement (these graphics looked insane at the time of reveal). Regardless of how MGSV actually turned out in the end with it’s disappointing story, the hype and journey on the way to its release weee some of the most exciting times of my gaming life. The game wasn’t perfect in hindsight, but the gameplay is still some of the best ever. And I enjoyed the f**k out of playing it. i still enjoy intruding in other people’s FOB’s from time to time and stealing their staff and materials, knowing that nobody is playing anymore, so there is little risk of retaliation 😂

This trailer is absolutely nostalgic

I just had a nostalgia moment thinking about this trailer. Around 7 years have passed allready. This game meant so much to me. I have a particular link with the series. I come from a modest familly, and I never had much video-games when I was a kid, I had to work hard to earn them. I was offered a PS1 for Christmas, although it was allready 2001. I was the happiest child in the world. As a first game, I had Metal Gear Solid 1 and later Resident Evil, Syphon Philter, Medievil... Good times. But Metal Gear Solid was special. The level of creativity, inovation of this game allways fascinated me, even the music was perfect. I was a bit confused concerning the story, because I had never played de first Metal Gear games. So I didn't know about Big Boss yet for instance. All I had were supositions to fill the holes. Then I finally had a computer with internet around 2005/06 and the world felt bigger than it ever was for me. I didn't even know there was a Metal Gear Solid 2 or 3, so I was thrilled as much as shocked. Since then, I began collecting Metal Gear games. I know that Hideo Kojima will probably never read this message. But I still want to thank him for creating such an amazing game series. The story has a true meaning, it's original, complex and deep. It's a shame that it had to end that way. I was expecting a Loop story, that would have been the ultimate time paradox. My biggest expectation was to see Big Boss meet the young Sniper Wolf, and also young Solid Snake. But things are how they are... Thanks for the upload.

it's the best game of my life...

I firmly believe this is the best game trailer ever made. Music choice is phenomenal and used well, imagery is incredible, and video games graphics had never looked this good before

this trailer is about to be 9 years old! holy shit i was only 22 years old and blown away when i first saw this. I still play this game to this day

Ground Zeroes has raised the Hype by about 61%

this is the fucking most epic trailer for a video game i have ever seen

Love 02:40-3:43 gets me pumped so much

Rewatch this at least 3 times a year every year. Still beautiful

I don't get why people say MGSV was a let down, it still ended up being the greatest stealth action game of all time. And to whoever says the story was so short or that the game lacked any story at all. What Kojima did for the game was to have the story spread out to many characters own personal missions and cutscenes, this made you--the player-- explore more of what the game had to offer. Really pushing you into the open world that he created for you. And whoever says Big Boss says such a small amount of things in cutscenes, shouldn't really matter. Because tell me, which cutscenes, weren't amazing or badass, even though he didn't or barley said anything? Silence can be the loudest noise, especially how the character of Venom Snake was built around. Also whoever says the ending was half-assed or a let down, well, weren't you surprised? Isn't that what you want from an ending, especially from a Metal Gear game? A plot twist? It wasn't even half assed, it was meant to signify that anyone can be 'Big Boss', you and me are Big Boss. That's what Video Kojima wanted to tell us, I'm just surprised nobody else who calls themselves 'Hardcore Metal Gear Fans' didn't realize it. The ending was a thank you for playing his game, being the hero. Thank you for being Big Boss. I would go further talking about how there's so much you can do, developing weapons, collecting materials, construction, advancing your army and base. But I think you get the idea in trying to get across right now. Though I know someone will say 'but there's so many repetitive side-missions!' And my answer is this...Nobody is forcing you to do those, you don't need to do them, even though they're simply made to help you get more materials and GMP. You chose to take them, not really the games fault on their end. And with that I will conclude my explanation. Hope you found it valuable.

Fuck. The base from peace walker getting destroyed :(

This trailer still hurts me as hard as a brick to the face, a punch to the guts and a kick to the jewels.

Spoilers: Wow, I never got the connection between the trailer’s song and the overall game. Especially in the opening hospital scene, everyone in the hospital was in on the plan to treat the player as Snake. They were all willing to die for the cause, they all aided in the creation of Phantom Snake. Even the nurses and janitors helped. So as the last line of the song goes, “we are extraordinary people.”

What a game we've lost....

I am still wondering wether or not Kojima is trolling when he said it was "Him" when Kaz pointed to the guy with the first perspective view. They are marketing two names for Big Boss: Punished Snake and Venom Snake. He doesnt seem to have a shrapnel on his forehead in Afghanistan but here he has one and it looks like he just formed Diamond Dogs. "Two Phantoms were born" tagline still bothers me, it could be Big Boss and Kaz or Big Boss and the unnamed 3rd guy in the hospital who could also be the guy with the head/face bandages. Two Snakes? One fake and the real one in a coma for 9 years? Even though they're saying Keifer Sutherland is voicing Big Boss, why is his name suddenly Ishmael in the story? Big Boss' real name is Jack.

Its 2021 and i still go back to this trailer. Not the game, just the trailer

Man I remember before this game came out I used to get so high and watch these trailers. I would get lost in them because they were edited so damn good. Man I was so hyped for this game and i never been hyped like that ever since this game came out that was it. I knew this too because it made me sad because I knew as soon as this came out ain’t no other game will ever make me this hyped ever again or anything for that matter.

One of the best video game trailers

Before finishing the game: "Nooo big boss what happened to you :'(" After: "- What about him? - Everything's a lie - Two Phantoms HOW THE FUCK I DIDN'T- OH DAMN YOU TROLLJIMA"

No matter what the future holds for the series, the buildup to MGSV will always be the best part of the Metal Gear history, and I'll forever cherish it. Thank you Kojima and yes, Konami too.

these lyrics resonate with this trailer now more than ever. KP were never Konami's kind of people.

I've only played Ground Zero, and Phantom Pain. Safe to say, Phantom pain became one of my most favorite games. I've never been so attached to a game, and so saddened by one as well. This game is a masterpiece, a relic that will be loved for years! Can't wait to play all the rest of the Metal Gears!

snake had the eye patch and now he has the hook for a hand. the entire big boss saga follows his transformation from a soldier to a pirate. epic.

So long after the release and I'm still watching these trailers.

Who's still watching in 2021?

The marketing campaign for this game was excellent. Maybe that is where all the budget went?

MGSV's trailers make me happy and sad at the same time.

The way kojima made this game it made me feel like he was sad or apathetic. Like he didn't care anymore.

This trailer played us like a damn fiddle!

Definitely shaping up to be Kojima's greatest work, and a nail in the coffin of any naysayers. So impressive thus far, this trailer gets me really excited for his art direction.

Lots of weird hate in this comment section. Despite this game's short comings in regards to plot it is undeniably one of the greatest stealth games I've played in a long while and the open world made it all the more better. But I'm just somebody who prefers gameplay over finishing a story that was convoluted to begin with, so fuck me right?

0:10 Boss goes on a date with the Hello Kitty girl:

Had to watch this again before I I restarted the game. Definitely got me pumped again

Wow, it has been almost 2 years since this trailer came out. My excitement was overboard when this first came out, and to this day it is at the same level. Mr. Kojima, please, release this game soon...

doctor: he died snake: i never die

I love going back and seeing all the people speculating the game’s ending/the identity of Venom Snake way before the game came out. It’s astonishing how close people were. It was also amazing how people speculated Phantom Pain was a metal gear game before that was revealed.

So excited. I'd never played a Metal Gear a few months ago but I've now caught up. Bring on MGS5!
