MGS: Ground Zeroes to Phantom Pain Save Transfer
- Thread starter Tabris
- Start date
The games don't connect to online before the 1st so nothing coming before that unless there's a press release/tweet
Oh, that makes sense. Damn.
Guess I'll keep trying for that 100% anyway before release.
Regular guards aren't going to count...
You likely wasted a bunch of time doing that.
On the main menu there's a 'Import MGS:GZ mother base staff' option or something like that, but when you try to connect, the servers aren't available yet.

We have no idea what counts unfortunately. The regular guards do seem like quite a stretch though.

I redeemed it today on Xbox One.

Yep, I was able to register it on my Konami core account 3 days ago. Still waiting for the psn code for it.

Mine is in transit, so I guess if I choose to play it early I won't get to import my GZ dudes. - maybe never at all depending on whether you can import at any time.
Depends on region I think and possibly platform. For example in Europe (or at least the UK) we didn't get a konami code for PS4 (and 3?), it was already a psn code in the case. Which still cannot be redeemed on the store, and the url for details on the leaflet is no longer valid.
We have a pretty good idea/grasp on what counts but nothing officially confirmed. Logic would dictate regular guards don't count even without explicit confirmation (especially because it was confirmed we would be able to return to Camp Omega in TPP anyway). Whereas Prisoners and special characters like Kojima should transfer in some form or another -- whether the prisoners literally transfer is one thing but something like Kojima would be a literal transfer for your R&D team most likely (as was his role in Peace Walker when you found him). No official confirmation but it's pretty logical to assume the above going off of that.
We'll find out soon enough (as annoying as it has been).

Hold on what's all this voucher and code thing about ? I have Ground Zero on my computer and TPP waiting in Steam as well. I'm not going to play MGS TPP until Sept 1 and that's also the day in which some MGS server thing goes online ? The server checks your progression in GZ in order to unlock stuff for you in TPP ? If I get that save file linked earlier and put it in the appropriate save folder now locally on my computer, I will be able to get all the goodies for TPP after it launches, right ?

You don't need the voucher if you have the game digitally I believe
Yup, like 40 hours :0s
It was fun though and an empty base made looking for XOF badges easier :0)
Cheers for the reply btw. I just got it delivered but I'm not going to be able to play it until Saturday at the very earliest as it's in another location.
The waiting has been killing me as it is :0(!

Does anyone know if finding all the xof badges carry over?
And do I have to S rank all the missions to unlock costumes?
There's a guide out there
Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/metalgears...w_to_prepare_for_the_phantom_pain_by_playing/
The character skin unlocks, where it says complete on normal and unlock Raiden.. Does it need to be S ranked?
I know the servers aren't up but I'm getting the game today and wanted to know. Playing Ground Zeroes like a motherfucker right now lol

I think I've played more Ground Zeroes since I got the Phantom Pain than actually playing TPP. I've come to appreciate it more and I wanna extract everyone for my base.

Has there been any confirmation on region restrictions?
Meaning if i have a digital US copy of Ground Zeroes, and i buy a PAL Phantom Pain on disc, will it work? This on a PS4.

Cool, sounds like everything I'd care about is done and ready to go.

Shit, trying to finish Peace Walker which means i won't have time to 100 percent this. Is it possible to share saves in this without personal information leaking or something like that? If so i'd really wish for someone to share theirs. I've played through ground zeroes several times on ps3, and a couple of times on PC. But i just won't have time to 100 percent it until TPP

I have a feeling all we're going to get is one or two generic units for having a save file. Whatever you did on this save file won't matter one bit. Fans will be gloriously trolled again.

I hope not because I played it on US PSN account with UK Game
I'm 99% sure that won't work.
Konami account was doable on release of GZ already
Anyway a friend tried and it's not active on PSN yet.

I'm embarrassed to say I only played through the GZ mission before uninstalling the game. Man, I've been missing out. The Side Ops are pretty fun, especially Deja Vu. I've followed the guides and extracted all the POWs, but I think I'll go through each mission and extract every single soldier for fun.

Nah, some of the unique POWs/enemies in GZ will carry over.
If you can wait a while I can try US to Japanese but it will probably take a while for my Japanese copy to get here

I'm all but positive it won't work. I originally bought my PS4 copy on the US PSN store, and when I later got another copy free with my Australian PS+ account the save file wasn't compatible.
I was able to register the voucher code back when GZ launched but yesterday I tried to get the actual psn code and it said to come back on launch of TPP. Were you actually able to get the psn code?
Yes, you can replay and get them. It doesn't have to be one run.
To be on the safe side, I would do them all in one run. Once you know their locations, they never change during playthroughs, unless it's a time-sensitive situations like that one where the POW will start to be moved when you rescue either Chico or Paz (you can actually save him before then if you know where to look).
No, the Raiden costumes don't require anything other than completing Jamais Vu on Normal and Hard. Only the Deja Vu costumes require something extra, since you need to recreate all of the Scenes and ace the MGS1 quiz on both Normal and Hard.

Ok guys my first post!
Anywho, Steam version of Ground Zeroes here. I currently use a widescreen monitor, so I tried this fix, from widescreen gaming, http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=95&t=29053, to allow for support of the 2560 x 1080 resolution. While it fixed the issue, it also deleted my saves.
So just alerting anyone else using widescreen monitors and looking for a fix.
Hope Phantom Pain supports this feature on launch.

No, the one in TPP is a brand new modern day rendering, as demonstrated in the Mother Base video. You keep the eye patch, but everything else is what MGS1 Snake would look like in 2015.
Has it been confirmed that is true 100%? Apparently stuff like rescuing POW's isn't required to hit 100?
This post just made my day.
Link to the video?
I think that only one difficulty should suffice, as the final game doesn't have a difficulty select like GZ did.
