I think that's fair enough. S-ranks are awarded for playing well. Simply fucking around will not be considered "playing well". However, if the Ground Zeroes ranking system is anything to go by, you have more leeway than in any other game in the series to get good ranks. You can kill a few people or get a few alerts, granted you do something else a bit better (you could finish the mission very quickly or you could rescue prisoners to make up for the lost points) so you can still use all the funny lethal weapons when going for good ranks.

Furthermore, the missions are replayable and should be fairly short so nothing's preventing you from playing through them several times to test out different approaches. You can just fuck around during one playthrough and then play the mission seriously while avoiding killing anyone. I'm glad the game offers these different approaches.

Well, not to mention this time around there's also the Free Roam option available sooo you won't have to worry about mission ranks while you're in that mode unless you explicitly choose to enter a mission. Then again, maybe I'm assuming too much about the free roam

This game has reached literal perfection and it's not out.

Dat Rocket Punch, dat sniper mission, dat balls to the walls guns blazing, dat C4 butt planting, dat bandana, dat box sledding, dat LEVEL OF FREEDOM. EVERYTHING about this game is amazing. The wait for release is beyond excruciating.

I loved that they fit in what, 4 demonstrations in one? Showing the same mission but tackling it differently is something they've should have done so much earlier.

Haha..best thing.

 

[poipoipoi9]

Oh my goodness, that rocket punch is just so amazing. When I get the game, that's all I'll use to eliminate enemy targets. So cool.

Gameplay wise everything is on point.

But I do miss the 30min cutscenes.

Is it just me or is seeing Big Boss in that game with a bandanna on really weird.

He just doesn't look right with it

There's so much variation in one tiny blip on the map, that I realized I might be biting off more than I can chew in this game. Afghanistan is HUGE, and seeing how there is "dozens of bases" scattered around the map made me realize that there's gonna so much content I'm not sure if I'll ever 100% the game. The dynamics of Afghanistan is different too, so much more open, but when you get to Africa, it's all very condensed, sniping is difficult, landing zones are more restricted, and not to mention disorienting as hell. I'm gonna have to rank up my iDroid as fast as I can in that game to survive, without it, it seems like suicide.

It was also so refreshing to see a mission done totally ghost style or just balls to the walls too. The formula for the last demonstrations have all been stealth 90% of the time, make an obvious alert and escape. I was just expecting a night mission with the same formula, but I got something totally different that just blew me away.

I need this game, right now. I can understand why basically all the press players wanted to play the game after the LA preview event.

It's simply a nod to long-time MGS fans. I don't look as good as Michael Jordan rocking the Air Jordan VII, but I still wear them. #respect

Kojima with the genius. Initial speculation was that there wouldn't even be a cardboard box due to more serious themes. Instead, it has the most ridiculous and vetsatile C Box ever conceived.

Lmmaao. Preach brother.

Yea I agree. I was getting REALLY moist watching this playthrough.

Like, I was so moved by the different playstyles we have seen. Im feeling kind of emotional right now.

 

[StoneFox]

Big Boss' narration was the best part. I lost it when he made horse noises.

 

[demolitio]

Holy grenade ricochet. This is what you want from AI partners in games. Wow.

 

[RyanardoDaVinci]

They've the sprinting while carrying animation so Snake's arm doesn't clip through the person.

@JunkerHQnet:
Apparently we may also get another gameplay demo (ETA unknown) showing how Mother Base grows over the course of missions

 

[deim0s]

Hope you can wear the Bandana(tm) regardless of the suit you're wearing, just to hide the stupid shrapnel on Snakes head and dat pony tail.

Sweet. Last video to watch then a media black out for me.

Will they also give us another video showing the ending?

No, seriously, I really appreciate how open they are in presenting the game, but everyone is already sold on the single player aspect. Stop showing us that and focus on MGO3 already!!

Taking a one week vacation for this game. Can't wait to marathon this bad boy.
Kojima will be missed dearly :'(
I don't think I will buy any metal gear games anymore out of respect.

Rocket Punch sealed the deal for me. I'll be there day 1 with y'all beautiful people

As awesome as that sounds and while I'm sure there's tons to the game they haven't shown, I think I'll miss this and enjoy the surprise of how Mother Base develops.

So given the Japanese VA of BB is narrating the video in the OP, does that mean that those 2 will be narrated by the Kief?

Sean Eyestone, likely!

Just my imo, this looks to clean to be running on ps4, but if it really is I am impressed.

Unlikely even though that's what I personally expected. Gonna be Sean Eyestone unless told otherwise.

All footage shown thus far has been on a PlayStation 4, and this demo was no different! ;-)

OK, I'm seeing it much improved from the previous demo, things like LOD changing, pop up, AF, even shadow quality is really sharp!. This must be one very optimised engine. Frame rate appears a rock solid 60fps.

Shadows even from YT look very good.

Will there be any industrial type environments like in MGS1/2? I hope it's not all outdoors in the desert.

 

[Love Deterrence]

By the way, did anyone see the "RELATIONSHIPS" sub-menu? Didn't realize it would get its own sort of menu, that sounds a lot deeper than I was expecting!
