It might be entirely fake, anyway, but just in case:
MASSIVE SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
According to Gentleman Gaming , an "anonymous source" has revealed the entire plot of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain . Anything that's entirely anonymous should be taken with a grain of salt, of course, but if there's any truth to the breakdown, long-time fans of the legendary series are in for a treat.
Supposedly, we can expect the return of major characters, how Big Boss became a villain, and hints at what future MGS adventures might hold in store. It's an in-depth 3,000-word synopsis so if it's fake, someone went to an awful lot of trouble to create it. I actually don't mind reading it now because I seriously doubt I'll remember all of it. Remember, The Phantom Pain probably won't be ready until the end of 2015.
I'll probably have to replay Ground Zeroes again, too.

story seems kind of believable
I didn't read the article due to the spoilers but I have to say Ben, it must suck to have to read the spoilers as part of your job!
"Supposedly, we can expect the return of major characters, how Big Boss became a villain, and hints at what future MGS adventures might hold in store."
Haven't read the document but this is what Phantom Pain was all about from the start?
Had a read, seems belivable. Also indicates that the next game will be called Metal Gear Solid: Outer Heaven and will be a remake/retelling of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2. Nice.
I would buy that…though, from which point of view should the story be told?
I'd say it'll probably be Big Boss's perspective but it'd be interesting to see something like Call of Duty where the story jumps from one person's perspective to another.
Update from Konami: Kenichiro Imaizumi, senior producer at Kojima Productions, has confirmed with GameSpot that the leak is false.
