February 13, 2013 | By GDC Staff
On the last day of the early registration deadline, Game Developers Conference 2013 organizers have announced a special lecture from Konami's Hideo Kojima, who will publicly show his division's FOX Engine in detail for the first time, via demonstrations of the development process and workflow behind Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes.

Teased last August, Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes is set to be an open-world spin on the Metal Gear saga, built using Kojima Productions' FOX Engine, and targeting Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

In the sponsored session entitled 'Photorealism through the eyes of a 'Fox' - The core of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes (Presented by Kojima Productions),' he and his staff will share the key components and unique methods used to create the visuals seen in Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes.

Demonstrations during the tech-focused talk will center around the FOX Engine lighting system, character realism, environmental changes, graphics techniques and explanations, and the FOX Engine tools.

Awesome. Kojima said we'd be hearing more soon. Hopefully we get some more details or a trailer before then.

This will certainly be entertaining even though this particular engine doesn't excite me much more than Unreal Engine 4 for example. Shame it's only design for it would be nice to know a bit about AI and QA as well. Or well, maybe they'll talk about a wide variety of Fox Engine's features. Regardless, I'm looking forward to hearing more.

With the launch of Rising nearby, the curtain on Ground Zeroes can finally be lifted. Really curious what the link between GZ, The Phantom Pain and MGS5 is.

Yeah, FOX Engine is intended to be multiplatform. Ground Zeroes was presented running in PC hardware on par with consoles like PS3 and 360, according to Ken Imaizumi.

^Awesome.

Not sure if I want to watch though, don't want to see too much of the game before I actually play it.

Nice excited to see what the fox engine brings to next gen.


That said without David Hayter returning, the franchise will die for me.
