Seems legit, but on closer inspection, it kinda just looks like someone took different elements of what we already know from the trailer, pieced them together, and filled out the blanks with their own idea. I really don't think that Big Boss would plan to destroy every big city in the world, that sounds like a stupid idea for  fighting against Zero's nanomachines because A. There would still be people who could be controlled by nanomachines, and B. Killing Zero would be much more effective, so why bother with the trouble of lauching nukes when killing one man is good enough. Also, super soldiers (probably with enhancement suits) are mentionned: wouldn't they be the weapon to surpass MG? i.e. leading to the cyborgs that actually defeat MGs 20-30 years later? Nanomachines aren't weapons, they are used as enhancements and methods of control, and the only nanomachines that were used in a way such that they could surpass MG are in Vamp and Armstrong (who didn't even fight MGs, and whose nanomachines were developped outside of Cypher, e.g. Naomi)  Also, this makes Portable Ops non-canon, since Gray Fox is mentioned as a teenager (assuming he's 18 at most in 1984, that means that he was 4 years old in 1970, so the character Null is voided), although it is possible that PO is retconned as non-canon, since it wasn't taken seriously anyway. For the horn 'working its way out': notice that when it is at full length (in the 'Nuclear' trailer), the edge of it is smooth, but in every other scene we have seen (scattered throughout the game pretty evenly, according to the leak), its end is chipped, and always the same size/shape. Also, a lot of questions are left unanswered: where's Chico? How does Ocelot know about his lineage and what the Boss actually wanted? Assuming Ocelot knew the Boss' goals, then why side with Zero if that side is wrong anyway? Where is 'Code Talker'? Quiet seems to have a big role, and we saw as much of her as we did of 'Code Talker' in the 2013 trailer. And why go through the production of MG TX-55 (from MG1) when they already have a MG even bigger than Zeke (and Rex according to the graph), thus leading to the plot of MG1? And also, since when does Kojima announce a next game via a game ending? I know this probably isn't his last MGS game (as he claimed since MGS4), but still, this is a bit odd (although not unexpected anyway). A lot of it does seem convincing though, like Big Boss siding with Skullface to kill Zero, the recruitment of child soldiers, a disagreement of methods between Kaz and Big Boss, Quiet's role, but a lot of it doesn't fit at all. All in all, the parts that seem legit could've been deduced from the information we got from the trailers, but for the rest, I call bullshit, way too much is missing and there's way too much retcon (I think even for Kojima at this point, unless he plans on remaking MG1, MG2 and updating MGS1, which I wouldn't quite put it past him).
