I'd wager it looks so good because the remaining 70% is using assets from the Africa map in place of any new ones they would have added for this map. All the trees/foliage is from the Africa map, The only new models I can tell are those white suits and those spiky logs sticking out of the ground. Plus I'm pretty sure the reason that Eli has no facial expressions is because they wanted to use a model that looked slightly older

[@guts-141]

If only Konami just let Kojima do what he wants a little bit more

[@novikovPrinciple]

I was wondering why Eli was so b-tchy throughout the whole game. Turns out it was because he got all the RECESSIVE GENES.

[@MGSBigBoss77]

He was lied to. He always had the superior genes, he hated Solid Snake and Big Boss cos he believed he was garbage. That was a lie though. Either Ocelot or Psycho Mantis fostered that hate within him, as we see in MGS and MGSV:TPP. Only Ocelot, mantis and Solidus knew he was the superior clone though, while Solid Snake had the recessive genes and Solidus was the product of both being combined (which is why he suffered from premature aging however).

[@bl4ckw1ngz64]

The only backstory I can imagine is that his handlers got super pissy at Eli one day and explicitly lied to Eli's face to make him feel bad. No indication that Ocelot fostered this hatred and when they did the DNA test comparing Eli and Venom (which ofc since Venom is a double of Big Boss it wouldn't work) it was after Eli had escaped with Sahalanthropus.

[@novikovPrinciple]

Jonathan Zhin Turns out his handlers weren't *just* pissy. They also wanted to troll him, considering they didn't bother to explain the basics of Mendelian genetics to him.

[@oggregster]

Grandfather_Paradox liquid snake is the recessive one hence blue eyes blonde hair but is actually the superior of the brothers because big boss supersoldier gene resides in his recessive traits not his dominant one but nobody ever told him hence why he believes he is the flawed one until his death. solid snake has all of big boss dominant traits which why he physically look like him but has none of his supersoldier gene because they reside in the recessive genes which is why he is the true inferior one that is why at the end of mgs1 ocelot mentions on the phone to the government that 'the inferior won'

[@FalloutStrong]

Solid suffered from it as well,as would Liquid,if he hadnt died.They had certain genomes tampered with,so they couldnt age fully.They also couldnt have children.they were walking biological weapons to the government,nothing more.Once they passed their peak age of performance,they were supposed to age really quick and die,making way for the next batch of fresh clones.

[@Fighter101network]

The game IS a masterpiece without the need of this ending. MGSV is the pinnacle of stealth gaming and to say it is not a masterpiece just because it doesn't have the ending someone wanted is pretty crazy. Granted, I would have loved to play the areas depicted in this deleted ending, but Kojima event mentioned that he always meant for Venom to be the center of attention. The game is a masterpiece as it is and sure, we can all agree it would have been even better to have this, but most games cut back on a lot of content due to time, money, and internal conflicts. People act like this is exclusive to MGSV, but many games cut endings and content, even older MGS titles could have been formulated in better ways according to Kojima. There are always regrets when a game launches.

@Dr. Complex Doubt it. He should be the same age as Eli, since This is before their Age Boosting sequence was added that made them Grow up faster. David wouldn't be stuck in a Compound at This time. And the 'Outside World' Doesn't mean that David was trapped in a single Compound. Big Boss' Lines to David was likely to refer to him, 'seeing the _world_ with his own eyes', as David had limited knowledge of the world outside his country prior to being a 'Snake'.

I'll be honest here, I always loved Liquid Snake as a character for some reason, but he just felt half-baked in this game. So much of the plot felt less impactful to me as well compared to the others. Yeah it gets dark and has lots of elements, but it was the first time I felt let down by a MGS story. I wonder what we would've gotten if a conflict betaeen creator and company had never happened. I felt like this was only halfway through the game, and never got why they arbitrarily made Quiet a character (I ended up liking her. Don't get me wrong) when Sniper Wolf literally had a background of being trained by who she believed to be Big Boss and was a sniper. Would've been too young for a love interest, sure, but would've fit the actual lore better. Just felt like the game's cohesion suffered through and through to me. I guess it's a testament to the work done on it that it ended up still being as good as it was.

The fact this was in the works but never made the final cut.... Well thankfully it was a pretty good game but the satisfaction from a third fight with Eli would have been fantastic.

I've played through the entirety of MGS V's story, including the Quiet side op, and I gotta say, this would've been amazing to play. Fuck Konami for not including this.

[@rockys201]

As cool as this cutscene is, wouldn't the gameplay just have been much the same as the first Sal battle? Maybe with a little bit of sneaking before it, lol

[@timekeeper2538]

A LOT of sneaking before it, with child soldiers and the remainder of the XOF, in an island map made exclusively for this mission and the XOF agents would have appeared on the map trying to fight Sahelanthropus as well..... fuck now I'm depressed again.

I've heard that you would have had to deploy heavy ordinance such as calling in Pequod with rockets , artillery strikes and some vehicles with cannons and even the battle gear, all in order to weaken Psycho Mantis's barriers enough that he passes out ,so you could actually damage the Sal.

[@Rob_Gibson]

I imagine with Sal being piloted by Eli and not a proxy-by-Mantis thing that, at the very least, that whip attack would be significantly more erratic.

He was “ABANDONED”, done hate, I want to believe.

[@NicDoesDumbThings]

god fucking damn it i like MGSV but I fucking detest it because they cut this ending out of it like, just cut quiet's retarded ending mission or something, don't cut the ending to the MAIN STORYLINE

[@antond12312]

NicDoesDumbThings Blame konami, they just had to rush kojima...

[@NicDoesDumbThings]

Butter Butt Kojima also had to go way over budget

[@antond12312]

NicDoesDumbThings He just wanted the best things for us.

[@bl4ckw1ngz64]

46 is THE ending, period. Don't kid yourself. But including this mission would have made sense b/c: 1. DiDogs would not just let go of Sahalanthropus as Venom values it as a trophy 2. The revelation from this cut content that Eli has the parasite is a concern DiDogs should deal with 3. DiDogs, at the end, would not have to worry about Eli due to believing him to be vaporized by the napalm and its an effective sequel/prequel/something hook to MGS.

[@timekeeper2538]

It's not a revelation that Eli had the last vial of the Parasite, at the end of Episode 31 the Third Child is shown giving the vial to Eli. The direct foreshadowing is already there, this was never meant to be cut.

[@cristianalvarez94]

We watch this and we can all feel the phantom pain from what was taken from us

[@Dailyblazer19]

Everyone is bitching that they cut this ending but I'm glad they did. It was incoherent in a larger scope; having Eli roam about and exiled from mother base wouldn't have fit with the larger story. He supposed to be reared by both False Boss and Ocelot, not orphaned again with no inspiration from big boss to end the Patriots. That and the whole set up makes it seem like Mantis played a bigger role in Eli becoming the villain in MGS1 than he really should have. Also the tone was uneven; why play up the color blindness aspect and have Eli shot? It builds up pointless drama that 1. Is literally resolved seconds later and 2. We know Eli can't die because of MGS1. The contribution this gives to the overarching story is so disorganized that it would have been a detriment to not cut it. Don't get me wrong. I wanted a far more conclusive ending, but not this.

[@bigboss2174]

It was 30% done, then end result was going to be Eli starting his own child army. To go to war with Cypher and The Patriots. The execution was perfect and flawless. Psychomatis would have been more like his Darth Vader to his empire. Eli had the mind and the will while Mantis had the power. It would have been completely canon to the story.

[@Revo0517]

Henri_disap exacly wtf konami to me id would a miracle if they even attemp to add something like this now especially now if they would do it its a sign that hl3 is apun us

[@dalimoreomali2994]

Henri_disap Sahalanthropus is wrecked, leading to it being rebuilt as metal gear. Looks like the voice parasite is removed by mantis and left to burn in the napalm. Pretty solid ending.

[@MarkDavidKnight]

Except traces of it may still be on Eli's suit...

[@venomsnake7141]

KuroTengetsu91 yeah but think about it we all enjoyed watching Venom shoot that little shit i laughed and was like whoops

[@lzfsburner]

If you are on mantis' good side in elementary school it's smooth sailing.
