Well, I suppose you could always abuse the steam return policy. I wonder how that applies to free games you get as pre order bonuses? Does the two hour rule apply to the free game or just the one you paid for?

MGS: Ground Zeroes to Phantom Pain Save Transfer

Yep. They'll only get up if another soldier finds them and raises them, or if an alert is triggered. It becomes sort of a risk/reward of "raising an alert will bring everyone back up" vs "putting them to sleep means I'm guaranteed they'll be down for the next 2.5 minutes no matter what happens".
Thats what we're trying to figure out via this thread. Someone with a review copy must be able to answer this here.
Yeah, I hope it's only the extractions, otherwise I'm gonna have to rush through Until Dawn & then boot up GZ again.
I hope everything gets cleared up within the next couple of days.

I'll try doing that.
You can also do the CQC melee attack combo (R2 repeatedly without moving the analog stick) which will knock them out indefinitely (until someone wakes them up). This one can get you noticed however since you will stand up and make some noise, not to mention the combo takes a bit of time to perform (even with the 3 hit version performed from behind).
It's up to you to decide what to use for the situation, that's why I like how everything has different advatantages/disadvantages.
You can also use guards to call nearby guards to your position so you can take them out too.
I think these options have been expanded in The Phantom Pain as well.
That will maybe carry over? Goddammit. Well it's better than nothing. I don't understand why there is some much unclear about this, does it need to be a secret?
Ok i think ive figured out all the unlockables. Once you have 100% trophies, you just need to rescue the rest of the prisoners mentioned in the pictures, recreate all 7 scenes in Deja Vu normal and hard and pass both quizes with no incorrect answers, and beat Jamais Vu once on normal and hard. That should give you all skins and Mother Base staff. Am i missing anything?
Is that 100% confirmed or are you just assuming this?

You can save as many as you like as long as you finish the mission.
So as far as we know, you can capture The Finger, finish the mission.
Then replay the mission and capture The Eye, finish the mission.
I did this and my stats show "2 Soldiers Extracted" and I assume this is the data the transfer uses.

Thanks. I seriously can't wait for TPP. The shop I go to might have it the 28th. I'll keep my fingers crossed

Nah, if there isn't a sale this coming week I'll probably just play TPP without it and buy GZ later and then start a new game.
Hell, I still need to play The Witcher 3 and I'm still not out of the first chapter of W2.

wtf, I have no code since I got the game used when I finally got a PS4 and can't "buy" it digitally in time for TPP because I redeemed the PS+ freebie just to have it on my account.

There are two ways to unlock content in TPP.
1. Transfer your Ground Zeroes save to TPP
2. go to core.konami.com and enter the code that came with your early retail copy of Ground Zeroes. If you bought the game digitally, I believe you do not need to do this step.
As for your Ground Zeroes save, here's what you need to do in GZ in order to unlock everything:
Whoa did not know this. Going to have to get on this!
I doubt that the alternate outfits from Jamais Vu or Deja Vu will carry over because the Konami website only explicitly mentioned the GZ Sneaking Suit carrying over. Still there's no harm in doing that mission.
Yeah I've seen it earlier in the thread, but is that official? Does that mean I only need to do what's in this image to carry over everything from GZ?
And nobody answered if having the PS+ version of GZ is enough to unlock everything.

Unless it's a stripped down build of the game, it will be fine. I'd wager that it's the exact same version of the game that is in stores.
So just having it in my library should be enough, or do I need to download it & make a save file?

Not sure about official but these are all that'll transfer from missions in GZ as far as we know
And yes, Ps+ GZ is the same game as the retail one.
I didn't mean if the PSN version is the same as the retail version. AuthenticM said having the digital copy means you automatically unlock all the GZ stuff in TPP without having to do all that stuff & I was wondering if the PS+ version counts.

For people on PC who had played the game a long time ago and do not have the time to replay all missions to extract POWs, there is at least one 100% savegame online (google is your friend) that is compatible and works with the Steam release. I had a 33% savegame but no time to go back and make sure I extract everyone or finish all missions with S rank on every difficulty level, so I just used that one and uploaded it wherever it's uploaded.
Regardless I'll replay GZ at least once more before starting TPP, as I have to get accustomed with the controls again.

Just restarted GZ to check my records but unless I'm missing something the Play Records screen isn't very helpful as it lists your best playthrough stats. On some of my S rank runs, I didn't get every prisoner out. I guess I'll redo every prisoner that isn't part of a trophy.

What AuthenticM talked about is a code which came with the retail copy that you have to redeem but you don't need to worry about it if your copy is digital. The PS+ copy is the same as a digital copy without any restrictions except for the when your sub ends. You just gotta rescue all those people in the image and you'll be fine for TPP.
Ugh I'm missing bald guy and undercover agent, looks like I'll have to go back.
By the way do the DLC codes work yet? I tried scanning the QR code for the Xbox One a couple of weeks ago and it wasn't working.
Hmm, I wonder if I can get a 100% save on my PS3 (since that can easily be done), upload it to the cloud, & then transfer it to TPP on PS4.
i think I'll try that.
Holy shit, thank you so much! I didn't know you can capture mission targets!

It's supposed to work this way but that would probably require a patch for GZ PS3 to upload your save from an ingame menu.
That or since the game launched, they've been uploading play stats to Konami servers and TPP will simply retrieve stats associated to your PSN ID.

Will be cool seeing how Glaz and Palitz help Mother Base grow. Probably my favorite GZ mission apart from the main.

I'm in this boat too, except I know for a fact that I didn't keep any paper. Don't know why I wouldn't redeem any codes in the box though, so I'm hoping there'll be a nice surprise in store next week.
If it works like other cross-save games on PS4, the PS4 uses your cloud storage to download the save, & I doubt Kojima wouldn't use a system that's already in place in favor of a more obtuse system.
So I can theoretically put a 100% save on PS3 & then use cloud storage to transfer it to PS4.
Only PS3 > PS4, you can't do it the other way around.

Quoting this because people seem to be ignoring it
It's on PC, a trainer will be out within 5 minutes of release to bypass everything.

When you're looking for XOF patches it doesn't work if you collect all 9 and then abort, you have to finish the mission, so I'd assume it's the same with extractions.
