Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes
 
Open world MGS

http://17f0418678386b4e6860-e4f9fcd9...op_upscale.jpg


Hideo Kojima has unveiled a brand new Metal Gear Solid game at a Metal Gear Solid 25th Anniversary Event in Tokyo. The game is subtitled: Ground Zeroes and was demoed running on a high-end PC running Konami's next-gen 'Fox Engine'.

Muttered words aroudn the internet from attendees at the event suggests the game's demo was set around a base at night, in the rain, with open world gameplay following an in-engine cinematic that is, reportedly, amazing - and there's no change in the graphics as the cut-scene moves to gameplay. Snake can reportedly call upon a chopper at any time and also drive a jeep.

With the game running on PC, it's highly likely the demo was yet another glimpse at what the next generation of console games will look like. Fox Engine is, after all, Konami's next-gen engine. But to know now there's a brand new MGS prequel headed by Kojima himself being made for it is an incredibly mouth-watering prospect.

Without seeing the thread title, and just seeing that picture alone, I would have guessed it was Sam Fisher and not Snake.

It's a nice looking trailer but I'm so burned out on this franchise that I can't muster any excitement.

And keep the cut scenes under 30 minutes each.

Yeah, I'm the same. To be fair the last game in the series I played was Sons of Liberty, but I used to get really excited about these games. Now, I've really cooled on the franchise. It's nice that people are getting more Snake action though. I remember hearing that the last game was supposed to be the "last" game if I'm not mistaken.

It's weird to say, but while I probably won't be playing the game, I do like to hear people talk about the Metal Gear games. Kojima is a man of ideas, and I like hearing people interpreting what his games are about. I look forward to that.

:lol: Kojima has been saying that literally since MGS2. MGS2 was supposed to be the last... then MGS3 was supposed to be the last... then MGS4 was supposed to be the last...

Its just all hype and nothing more. MGS will go on as long as it remains a cash cow.

Count me in with the people that aren't really excited by this. I loved the first two MGS games (as well as the original two 8-bit games). I liked but didn't love MGS3. I never had any excitement whatsoever for MGS4 and never even played it. I think the reason why I lost interest in the franchise is just because I grew up. All the bloated exposition seems really sophisticated and awesome when you are young, but when you get older you realize these games are really not that good at all and the stories are complete nonsense.

I haven't played a Metal Gear game since Metal Gear Solid.

That video was great.

Sometimes the games in these series leaves a bad taste in my mouth upon completion. But the journey is great in each one.

I could compare the metal gear solid games to the television show LOST.

Looking forward to this....

So I'm confused....this isn't MGS5? Didn't the title screen from MGS5 leak earlier this year?

Maybe they've given up on the numbering system? :shrug:

redrum 09-04-12 01:33 PM

Re: Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes
 
Its a prequel to all the games

Dash 09-05-12 11:45 AM

Re: Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes
 
MGS:3 was a prequel, so would that make this the prequel to the prequel? Either way this is probably one of my top 3 favorite series. I cant get enough of these games so I am sold

andy434343 09-05-12 11:58 AM

Re: Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes
 
I would assume this takes place in the late 70s or early 80s based on how big boss looks. A sequel to part 3, prequel to the rest. (refering to metal gear solid games)

starseed1981 09-05-12 12:32 PM

Re: Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes
 
Well they referred to several things from Peace Walker so I'm assuming it's after that (Peace Walker itself is after Snake Eater).

I'm pretty sure Konami said that was a fake.

why is ron pearlman playing the title character?

i like how the 11 minute video, there's like 1 minute of game play.

Kojima said this is a prologue to MGS5

Sounds like the typicial cinematics-to-gamplay ratio for these games.

I like the facial animation but the trailer did nothing to sell me on the new engine. :shrug:

EDIT: Added a better quality version of the new trailer.

MGS: Ground Zeroes' risky content may prevent its release

Speaking to several members of the press at an event in London organized by Konami, designer Hideo Kojima revealed that his upcoming entry into the Metal Gear Solid franchise, Ground Zeroes, is going to be taking a lot of risks content-wise -- so much so that that he's not even sure if he'll be able to release the game.

"Over the past 25 year [sic] I have tried to work with the Metal Gear series to introduce more mature themes, but really it hasn't gotten there yet," said Kojima. "Compared to movies and books it still has a long way to go. That's precisely what I want to try to tackle with Ground Zeroes. Honestly I'm going to be targeting a lot of taboos, a lot of mature themes that really are quite risky. I'm not even sure if I'm going to be able to release the game, and even if I did release the game then maybe it wouldn't sell because it's too much."

Kojami also told those present at the round table interview that "as a creator I want to take that risk" and that he is "approaching the project as a creator and prioritizing creativity over sales." What exactly Kojima has included in Ground Zeroes that's made him almost sound nervous is completely beyond me right now. Anyone willing to take a guess?

Butt tasting?

I'd say fighting child soldiers is probably a good guess. Especially in today's political environment.

Butt tasting is pretty much a given.

Just typical BS from Kojima. The guy is a huge attention whore and his fans just eat it up. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Does this mean it's a short game?

MoviePage 01-09-14 09:48 PM

Re: Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes
 
This is a prequel/introductory episode to MGS V: The Phantom Pain. So based on that and the price tag, I'd imagine it'll be short.

redrum 01-09-14 10:08 PM

Re: Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes
 
Pretty sure it's gonna only be $30 for the digital version so yep probably pretty short

Kojima said The Phantom Pains map is 100s of times bigger than this one

MGS games are like 5 hours long, so this would be what, 2.5?
