Metal Gear Solid V

Man, that is some old school NES shit. I can't even remember who has my copy of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. That game was doodoo.

The official title appears to be Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes and will be open world.

Demo of "Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes", started w cutscene (all realtime), went into gameplay, open world, night, raining, base. AMAZING

Snake crawled @ avoiding searchlights, killed guard, rode jeep, called in heli for evac. Sounds like MG, but the scale & atmosphere... Wow.

If the picture is any indication, it looks it'll follow Big Boss after Peace Walker.

So is it a chargeable offense that I have had MGS4 in my cabinet for over a year and never played it yet?

I want more of The Boss. I can never keep the timeline straight, but Peace Walker is post-MGS3, right?

Yes. IIRC Peace Walker is about ten years after MGS3 and after the schism with Zero.

Some of the speculation going on right now is that Ground Zeroes might be the creation of Outer Heaven from the first Metal Gear title.

So does that mean you're playing as Big Boss the villain?

Metal Gear's series is too damn confusing.

After taking on more of a background role for Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, Hideo Kojima will be stepping up to the forefront again by writing, directing and doing the game design for Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes, as well as producing it. This was reported by Japanese gaming website Game Watch.

This means Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes will be ‘a Hideo Kojima game’, or in other words a game of which he is responsible for everything and not just the producing.

I don't really see Big Boss as a villain after MGS 3/4/PW. He knew Zero's vision for the Patriots, and he set out to foil those plans.

It's only through the lens of an uninformed Solid Snake in the first two Metal Gears that we see Big Boss as a villain really.

PAX 2012: Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes is Coming to PS3

At PAX 2012, Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima showed off 15 minutes of the first gameplay footage from his upcoming PS3 game. Though running on a PC, Kojima stated that the footage was comparable to what would be seen on the PS3 version of the game.

The demo begins with an in-engine, real-time cinematic set in a rain-drenched prison camp, and ably shows off FOX Engine’s advanced shader, lighting, and particle effects. Check back at 3:00pm Pacific Time to see the footage.

After the cinematic showing a mysterious man with a mutilated face and wide-brimmed hat leading troops from the prison camp into a mission, the gameplay footage kicked into gear as Snake moved into position outside the prison camp – a huge open-world environment riddled with entry points. Kojima pointed out nearby APCs and helicopters, confirming that Snake can commandeer and pilot them if he so desired. As if to prove the point, Snake hopped into a Jeep to gain access, evading a roaming tank in the process. Kojima also showed that you can deploy a flare “at any time” to call in a friendly helicopter — it will let you fly between missions, and even to other countries. He even confirmed that the player can customize the music played by the helicopter, which in the demo blared out Ride of the Valkyries.

“We’re not going to say that it’s Metal Gear Solid 5,” Kojima said after the demo, “but it is a prologue.” Kojima also confirmed that the demo was running on PC hardware that was similarly equipped to PS3, and that the final game should closely resemble the demo video.

WOW!
