Chapter 3 would see Snake going to a salt lake island commandeered by Eli and his militia, to take him down and recover the Metal Gear. I believe it was scrapped because of time constraints, with only a 30% complete cutscene and some dialogue for it recovered.
Although itās a new location, the use of a mask and Millerās briefing implies the location only covers one mission (the same way the hospital intro did). Odd that they cut it out if it was only one more mission, but the concept art shows it was going to be a pretty large island, possibly with different sections
Ah, ok. Yeah, thatās Ep. 51. Just one mission with itās own location, not a full chapter. Modders found confirmation in the gameās code or somewhere that it was meant to be a post-release DLC (so itās the only confirmed piece of actually cut story content). I guess it got abandoned because of the whole change in Konamiās focus back then (and the Kojima split), but who knowsā¦
An epilogue that comes as a DLC is an awful move but I agree that it looks now to be more like one mission
In all honesty, that video I shared wasnāt actually the one I saw. The one I saw was an earlier build of that cutscene that didnāt have any animations at all and the characters were all in T-poses and the only dialogue was some show notes at the bottom of the screen
Iād heard it was cut for time, but given the anomosity between Konami and Kojima back then, that was probably a factor too. He mightāve already been out the building when they decided to cut the ending. Konami also implements a lot of crunch time, so the employees were probably beyond burned out!
Iād like to call this the f*** Johnny storm patch because bro lost 2 of his 3 team ups and didnāt get any new ones like the rest of the fantastic 4
Itās impossible in the sense that there isnāt anything leftover in the files with enough substance
concepts from MGS V have been put into the game via mods, but itās mostly stuff like Chico and Grey Fox.
but implementing large cut content like that requires a lot of resource and potentially the games source code. The implementation of Ground Zeroes as is for MGS V modding is probably the peak of what can me done in terms of scale.
Weird they mustāve just reuploaded (dang autocorrect made it retooled?) this because of the movie or something because the ps store says itās been there since October 2025
Huh, I was playing MGS4 yesterday this is strange timing was getting thrown around the room by Laughing Octopus, flying through the air going āOhh blue roses, I get it nowā
Iām talking about this
but I agree that it looks now to be more like one mission
OOOOOH.
