Wow. #mg25 @markmacd Demo of "Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes", started w cutscene (all realtime), went into gameplay, open world, night, raining, base. AMAZING I NEED A VIDEO! EDIT: More info from Famitsu First Metal Gear Solid Ground Zero ArtworkOpen world game targets current generation platforms. Kojima Productions also working on next generation development. Famitsu.com posted a first piece of artwork from Metal Gear Solid Ground Zero, the Fox Engine game that was revealed at today's Metal Gear anniversary event. Check out the image below. According to Famitsu.com's report, Metal Gear Solid Ground Zero is the name of the real time demo Kojima Productions showed at the event. But it is also being made into an actual open world game. Ground Zero targets current generation specifications. Famitsu reports that Kojima Productions is also working on next generation development. Guess the thread title needs changed already.

Posted August 30, 2012 this had best come out on WiiU as this sounds perfect for it, you could have the codec and menus on the wiiu pad, then if you switch to remote play it reverts to the older stile UI but i need a video i really do! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 30, 2012 Surprised that they didn't just go ahead and call it Metal Gear Solid 0: Ground... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 30, 2012 Snake Fisher? Solid Sam? Metal Gear? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 30, 2012 So have Kojima's team just hired the people to find the worst names for things that they could? It just sounds like proper Jinglish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 30, 2012 Anyone else think the title's just plain inappropriate? Even if it was some 11 years ago, Ground Zero (which ever way you choose to spell) is now synonymous with 9/11, something which America especially is still incredible sensitive about. It's what you immediately think of when you here those words; I doubt they want reminders of it like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe these disasters affect Big Boss? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) God damn. edit - Full video, for some reason the official video cuts out most of the gameplay but this offscreen footage has it all. Edited September 1, 2012 by bryanee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's what you immediately think of when you here those words; I doubt they want reminders of it like this. As an American, no. Firstly, I hate when legitimate phrases or words become to attached to one idea that it's no longer possible to use them correctly. Secondly, it was 11 years ago. We shouldn't forget it, but move the fuck on. Yes that's harder for some, maybe impossible, but society as a whole can do it. As for that gameplay....well it was kinda boring in that offscreen stuff, but holy hell that is a pretty engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) Nice graphics tech demo. Hopefully there's some gameplay to go along with that movie! Edited September 2, 2012 by Dcubed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't stop using the date because of what happened, why should we stop saying Ground Zero. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 3, 2012 Man Kojima is full of shit. He was intent on MGS4 being his last MGS game as director and here we are again. Same with Shinkawa actually. I mean I'm not complaining, but I wonder if he just can't escape the franchise or what. Game looks good anyway. Old Snake!IT'S OLD SNAAAAAKKKKKEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! Uh no, it's Big Boss. He just ages Big Boss a bit more in each game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 3, 2012 Think Kingdom Hearts plot wise, everyone is Snake. Like in KH everyone is Sora Wait WHAT?! I have only played the PS2 Kingdom Hearts games so this makes no sense to me. And Big Boss is the original Snake. There is also Liquid, Solid and Solidus snake who are all clones of Big Boss. IIRC they are supposed to be a mix of recessive and dominant genes, which defines their differences. Big Boss was snake is MGS3 and that PSP MGS game whose name I forgot (not the portable ops series). 'Solid' Snake is Old Snake is MGS4 and aged prematurely due to the clones being created from the DNA of Big Boss when he was old (what?). EDIT: You know what, this story makes very little sense, and funnily enough, this is some of the easier to keep track of, and more sane stuff in the plot. Still love it though.

Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) I saw those videos at the weekend and I have to say, I was very impressed... until the gameplay kicked in and then it we saw a level of animation no more advanced than what the PS2 MGS games demonstrated, even if it did look incredibly slick. I'm glad they've gone back to Big Boss though. And it's not so much because I think he's a interesting character with more story that needs explaining, though that helps, it's that I didn't like the overly technological stylings seen in 4 and now Rising. Seeing a mech in MGS1 and 2 was a really special moment but now you can't move for them to the point that they've stopped being special or interesting. Seeing the Ninja in MGS for the first time was incredible, but now every one's a ninja almost. I just think they've gone a bit to far with the consipiracies and plot devices that they've dug themselves into a hole concerning games happening in the future. When he broke out his map device, I did let out a bit of a sigh as it seemed totally unnecessary to have something that fancy given we're probably dealing in an 80s setting given his appearance and date of birth. Yet apparently, XOF were made defunct by the end of the 70s making it even more strange... unless they were just underground. Oh well, as long as they keep it in check, that's all I ask. So the kid, are we to presume that's "Jack" or just some random child? Edited September 3, 2012 by Captain Falcon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love the series, even though I've never played a game of it in my life. I hope that one day, we'll see a massive compilation for it on a console that I own. Isn't some sort of compilation coming out now because of the 25th Anniversary? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
