We have some keen eye here. Nice detail!

From "Fox," two phantoms were born.

I am a messenger and this is my prophecy (as of January 20th, 2013):
1. The Phantom Pain is a hybrid of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes trailer and a teaser of next-gen Silent Hill game
2. Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes is set before and after Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
3. The plot will pertain to the Les Enfants Terribles project
4. Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes is due out on November 21st, 2013

Do you think the map projector will also be your radio?

I'm betting there is an all-purpose device in this game, like many open world games... It might or might not be the iDroid, but its possible.

Looking makes me feel it wasn't just created to project a map, but that's just a hunch...

It could finally answer the ''Does Snake see people through the Codec Calls?''
Even though this is BB....

Well, if it is communication device at the same time, it would seriously mess with MG & MG2SS radio system. Why would FOXHOUND use cheap radiosystem if that kind of hi-tech communication device is available?

I guess that system will provide Big Boss with map and other necessary data about the area but not a way to communicate with his mission suport. They will probably use radiosystem for verbal communication unless the story gives some detail why it wasn't active in two original Metal Gear (i.e. enemies can interrupt it way too easy or eavesdrop the conversations or something like that).

GZ/MGS5 looks like its going to tie directly into the MX2 games with all these references and some of the plot points established at the end of PW.

21 years with two games (1974-1995)? That's intresting challenge even for Kojima. Then again they said that MPO was the missing link between Snake Eater and Metal Gear. Not to mention that GZ will probably starts very soon after Peace Walker and unless the story covers several years (and 5 does the same) I guess there will be huge plot holes and so I'm pretty sure there is going to be at least three games between Peace Walker and Metal Gear.

Kojima can kind of do things AC style, where he skips a few years.

Old thead, but I wanted to talk about this device. Why people keep sayin this thing is "alien like" and a starwars "hologram"??? I don't see any 3D thing here to call if an "hologram". This just looks like a small low-res projector. Now it could be projecting all that stuff on a transparent screen or something... right?

And at the end, Snake wakes up in the Animus and Otacon's a talking fish.

"...an ill-fitting navy blue sport coat over his favorite black tank top and sand-colored cargo pants, the pockets of which were stuffed with lotion bottles, antiwrinkling gel, purple scrunchies, hair clips, and cash. He looked like an aging metrosexual commando."

Did you transfer your own eyes with an eagles? That's some nice spotting there. Maybe a reference for the next Metal Gear game after MGS5 (COUGH REMAKE)

He mentioned something interesting... Konami, they claim that what they're doing in Casinos are the missing piece... money, to surpass video games.
