Tweak ANYTHING but story, *********!

Completely agree. I honestly do not know why you would even attempt to mess with perfection.

On the topic of GZ/ TPP, has the possibility of yet another clone been discussed? I know it may seem like overkill at this point, but I couldn't help shake the implication of another clone in the latest trailer. Aside from retconning BB's past, I don't see how else they can explain the missing arm and large piece of shrapnel to the head. Perhaps not a clone in the traditional sense, but one that was created into thinking it was THE original Big Boss.

It would be pretty awful to create a 4th clone, seeing how the story is pretty much finished and there was no appearance of the said clone at all in the future games. I mean if there was a hint of something like that left up to interpretation I would accept it but I think Kojima has backed himself into a corner with all these prequels.

The Successor Project (which was a awful plot line) was the closest thing to another clone, even though it was not genetic and it was of the Boss.

I agree it would be overkill, just thought I'd mention it. Never know with this guy.

That's so ridiculous that it's actually a possibility, but if it is i'm out.

You can't actually exclude anything. As stupid and terrible idea that is there's always a higher chance than usual that it'll come to fruition

NANOMACHINES

Re: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

I have a diploma in nanochemistry. Such a waste of 5 years...

I hope nanites will never be a part of our lives coz so far it's a big joke of a concept

They will be at some point. But it's still a technology that's barely in infant in terms of actually being used at all.

It will have applications in the medical field mostly I'm guessing.

Re: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Nanotechnology looks good on paper, but I always find myself questioning the feasibility of it. If it does become commercialized within our lifetimes, the manufacturing costs should be astronomical - so much so, that only the very wealthy will be able to afford it.

Absolutely. Microscopic machines in your body sounds creepy.

There are so many possible applications for nonotechnology. As much as I hated MGS 4, and Kojima's overuse of "nanotechnology" as cop out to all of the mysteries in the previous games, he did make a brilliant discourse on how the government could manipulate such a technology to control a populace. Although it might not happen for a long time .

All the reasons for things that were glazed over with nanos seem legit, it just felt like a cop out and made MGS4 branded with such a thin plot on everything.

Anyway, nanos definitely would be one way for humans way beyond our current limits. If you remove sickness/desease completely the average person could end up living over 100 Humans have been living longer and longer as the decades go by. There is always news stories around that say "the first 140 year might of been born." Can you imagine living for 100+ years guaranteed?

I know that Kojima has some far-fetched methods of storytelling, but I'd like to think that the man has some sanity left in him .

Yeah he does go out there with a story, but stuff in Metal Gear Rising is so far out of the realm of reason in terms of technology. Raiden has been living as a head and spine for the better part of a decade

Re: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Was it ever explained how Raiden came to be a cyborg? I don't remember.

Yeah, the medical applications for nanotech do seem vast. But, it also leads me to question how pharmaceutical corporations might seek to benefit from it. In the predent day, they're practically dragging their feet on the development of life-saving cures, in favor of less effective, massed-produced medicine that can be marketed and sold on mass scale.

So, even if it is possible for nanotech to cure illnesses and even extend human life, it might not ever happen. Because, where's the profit to be made if everyone's healthy?

That's why I think that the medical aspects of the technology might be available only to those in higher income brackets. I need to become a billionaire business mogul fast

That's what it comes down to. That's how the pharmaceutical companies are now. I firmly believe most Cancers can be cured but they would lose billions off insurance companies if no one required radiation/chemo therapy.

Oh man, I hope that KojiPro eventually remakes MGS Rising. To think that they completed the script but weren't able to develop the game...

It looked amazing and the graphics looked twice as good as MGR. We will never see it, although Platinum still did do a good job.

Yeah, it's truly a sad world that we live in.
