Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain gets bloody poster, download sizes

Mgs5 phantom pain

MGSV: The Phantom Pain is a whole new kind of Metal Gear Solid game. This time, Snake is free in the open world. Most open world games on PS4 and Xbox One have been around 40-60GB, taking up around 10% of the HDD space on the new consoles. Now the numbers are out for the Kojima Konami game and they might not be what you were expecting.

The game was made available for pre-order on PS4 and PS3 via the Japanese PlayStation Store, revealing to DualShockers the game’s download sizes. The PS4 version will chew up 25.1 GB of your bandwidth with the PS3 version only requiring 11.7GB. That seems a bit small to me. I know, it’s not the size that counts but how you use it; I’m just wondering how the game will use only that much space to deliver a big open world. Maybe the world won’t be as massive or as open as we thought, or maybe Kojima is even more of a magician than we realized.

There’s also a new poster that Hideo Kojima shared that shows an extremely bloody Snake and Quiet.

Bloody MGSV poster

It’s a bit disconcerting how much blood she has on her cleavage, but it almost looks like she’s wearing a shirt now, so maybe that’s a good thing? I’m not so sure, but the poster looks pretty cool, and graphic, and creepy. Now if only we could get this printed on a stealthy cardboard box to hide in, it would be a true representation of the game.

    Fokkit!!! I thought MGS was a stealth game! That poster makes it look like Snake turned all Jason Voorhees on us! Fuck me but that is overkill…

    With the FOX engine, I’ll believe any freaking thing is possible. Might just buy this digitally seeing as it’s so small (That’s not what she said, okay? So shut it perverts of Lazygamer 😛 ) Wonder if there’ll be some outrage over the poster.

      I see my comments are falling on blind eyes. Don’t you think the blood is overkill for a stealth game?

        Like I mentioned on Twitter, it’s symbolism really, for what though? Time will tell. My guess it just symbolizes Big Boss’ descent into evil and how he becomes the bad guy. The blood doesn’t have anything to do with the actual gameplay, but more on the themes surrounding the game.

          Nah man. I cannot agree with that. I see a poster like that and I think Solid Snake turned into Chainsaw Snake. You have to keep in mind there are a few people that have no clue about the finer nuances to the MGS story.

            Well, to me, the blood just shows that this is a darker and grittier MGS game. It’s meant to be gross and gory, it doesn’t really say anything about the gameplay, but I get your point, it makes it seem like it’s an action Mortal Kombat game.

          symbolism you speak of is what Konami did to Kojima.

        It really is overkill. The fox engine gives this super shiny appearance over the characters. Not sure if anyone has seen this in the videos. It looks plasticey.

            Agree with Chuckster over yonder… Why don’t you get to the chopper and sod off.. your comments are as lame as the 2 Movies you represent in your handle.. I’d quote you and tell you to let of some steam.. but you are probably so full of hot air, that by the time you are done the Polar Ice caps would have melted from the humidity and then we’d be stuck listening to Al gore repeatedly telling that “he told us so”

            Look. If you have a problem with me, both you and Chuckster are free to either take it up with me, or better yet, lodge a complaint with any Lazygamer staff member or forum mod. It’s a right anybody coming to Lazygamer has. Exercise that right if you feel so strongly about it.

            Attention all Mods and Lazygamer staff. Chuckster here has a problem with me. He is too scared to report this himself. Could someone please give him and Lollie the attention they so badly want and listen to their complaints?

          • Chuckster

            July 23, 2015 at 12:08

            Complaining to them will solve nothing, it will only waste their time.

            July 23, 2015 at 12:17

            They have suffered your idiotic posts for so long, if they havent banned you yet, then they wont, I guess some people have a soft spot for retards.

            July 23, 2015 at 12:20

            I am only running to the headmaster so I can get this shit sorted. Clearly you do not want to get it sorted. So. Either you report me to Lazygamer staff, or I just ignore you. Same way you can ignore me.
            It really is that simple.

            There is nothing to report. Why do you keep going on about reports. Did you have to repeat a few grades due to bad reports and find that you need to report everything.. I can get you a subscription of the Rapport then you can get one every Sunday to enjoy with your French toast and Orange Juice. or Coco Pops.. I dont really know what smaaks your fancy. Maybe you a Muesli person.. would explain a lot.

            Report you.. why on earth would I want to report you. You dont go into a Police Station and tell the Po Po that they need to lock up the little retard neighbor Kid because he keeps urinating in your pool.

    Im amped honestly, the FOX engine and just playing the “tech demo” this game is going to be really awesome, The poster is HECTIC BOET!!! 😛 different look but that does portray how the game can be played either guns blazing or stealthy either way you generally end up with blood on your hands/cleavage.
