MGSV: Ground Zeroes releasing Spring 2014 [£30 boxed 360/PS3/DL NG; £20 DL PS3/360]

What about it? Where is the damn PC version lol
Remember, Metal Gear Solid 3 was only two missions itself. One mission could really mean anything. For all we know this could be like a 10 to 15 hour prologue of what is a 30-50 hour game.
Well, what shown so far of that Cuban mission was beyond bland, so i really hope for their sake that there's (much) more to this, than what looked like a tech demo.
Also for a game that is supposed to have a mission select screen and a home base, i doubt it'll keep the MGS3 structure.

Cool idea Konami, lets charge nearly half the price of the full game for what appears to be no longer than a demo. Though I am excited for Ground Zeroes, I will wait to see if its worth it first.

Yes, there will be daylight missions, but there won't be a realtime day/night cycle. Some missions will take place at night and some during daylight, etc.

PC version, or I'm done Kojima. I was your biggest fan until you kept beating that horse dead.

The fact that they're announcing prices like that for something we know so damn little about worries me.
Why not just tell us exactly what we're getting instead of us all thinking it's just this one mission we've seen countless times

So there will be more than one mission...?

SOON!
Yeah right..
I'm not saying that it will have the MGS3 structure specifically, merely that Kojima's idea of "one mission" could mean just about anything. I'm sure they didn't show everything present in the Cuban mission.
That makes the price worth it, in fact it should be more expensive. Kero frog locations should also be sold through micro-transactions.
There's never not enough information to begin complaining here.
Only the prices and graphical differences are known. No one knows if the content will be as much as Tanker Chapter, Virtuous Mission, more of either or less of either. No one knows if there's more differences between current gen and next gen version other than appearances, if could have more content just as much it can be exactly the same.
Everyone is ready to assume the worse and be all doom and gloom and looking to be mad or first saying we're getting fucked.

Also Kojipro should capitalize on dlc camos. Why make them unlockables or items you can find?

I agree but, sadly, your post will be ignored in favour of more unwarranted bitching.

Uhhh not sure how I feel about that.
The MGS fan in me won't be able to not play it though. =(

My assumption (based on nothing) is that they'll be a story mode with a couple of hours of cutscenes/gameplay, and then some VR-mission style things on the side to more thoroughly expand on the mechanics.
I think it's really missing an online mode though. The addition of a sequel to Metal Gear Online, even if it only had a couple of maps, would change the perceived value of this completely.

This is expensive, they are charging half the price of a full game for a tutorial mission, and without the option to get a disc based version. Too bad that i'll end up buying it since i'm such a MGS fan.
Exactly.
They should also sell us Playboy magazines with extra pages, the previous games only had something like 3-4 pages. Spice things up. It's true innovation.
I am prepared to wait years. Plis.

So as most of us posited, that was the smaller MGS release for this FY. Nice to see it confirmed.

Don't worry, this will sell plenty.
I'll be waiting for full playthroughs on youtube of this thing. People shouldn't condone this bullshit practice.

There will be extra side missions taking place in the same camp. Kind of like PW's Extra Ops.

Oh dear god... I forgot about MGO3. I'm going to have to revive my old stun-only character, I'm No K!ller
Awesome. I loved the old VR missions. They really pushed the mechanics to their limits.
Right, i'm not writing them out, however i'll remain skeptical for now.
Isn't that the gaming community in a nut shell. Bitch and moan about something but buy it anyways.
Your point?
This isn't a demo.
I'm not buying it for $30.
Either it comes with Phantom Pain for the $60 retail price or i'll wait 4 years for the Phantom Pain/Ground Zeroes combo for $15.
This is a straight up scam pricing model.

Have they shown or talked about any next-gen differences?

30 pounds? That seems a bit much, I have no idea how long this is going to be I was expecting it to be like a 4 hour intro with maybe 2 hours of gameplay.
This should just show the downfall of mother base and the MSF or something leading into the phantom pain right?
If anything I'm expecting it to be more of a show case for new gameplay in MGSV. But like, really? 30 pounds? I was expecting to pay like 15 or so in USD, but I guess that's not happening :\

Yeah. I hope this will be like this and I hope it won't get repetitive.
Hoping they have better variety than Peace Walker.
How so? You honestly have no idea of the size/quality of the content that we're getting but have no problem calling out a developer for scamming people.
The TGS gameplay demo was all next-gen footage.

Not too happy with their silly pricing strategy.
Very clever timing, but I will be playing Dark Souls 2, Infamous 3 and Driveclub to care too much!

I knew that, just interested to see how much better it looks when compared.

Don't care if Ground Zeroes is only 2 hours long... will gladly pay $30-$40 to get my hands on a next-gen MGS!!
Does spring 2014 mean March?
Does spring 2014 mean March?
Kojima has went on record as saying that Ground Zeroes serves as a tutorial for the games new mechanics and calling it a 'prologue', so this does not bode well.

I honestly couldn't care less how much it sells. I'm just a very tired of the endless internet rage these past few months. People are so quick to jump on the next pseudo controversy that they don't think to stop for a moment to really consider anything. Knee-jerk reactions are so predictable that it's almost sad.
Oh well, carry on...
