Metal Gear Informer: MGSV: GZ healing spray, length & footprints
- Thread starter Batzi
- Start date
Yeah, I was thinking of just picking this up for cheap a couple of weeks before MGS5 comes out.

For GZ, you may be right with them opting for a simple healing system considering the magnitude of the game but for PP I don't think they have an excuse not to implement an evolution of the MGS3 healing system at the very least. Yes pausing can interrupt the flow of the game but they can do without the menus all together, instead they can focus on making a elaborate system that allows you to heal Snake in real time with an ingame inventory, or sort of a mini-game customizing different buttons to different body parts in that mode. I mean the open world of PP is begging for that kind of thing if they wanna create a sense of survival.

I am so pumped for this. I can't wait to see the fox engine on PS4. I don't five a fuck how long this game is. In Kojima I ttust
Just need to finish a quick MGS3 and PW playthrough and I will be good to go for more MGS

You could also try to track the ends footprints in MGS3 by using thermal vision. Results may vary on that one.
Kojima is a genius.
Twich Plays MGSV.One HUNDRED hours.. one the relative small GZ map...
I don't care that the main campaign is short. I can't even count how many games I played where the main scenario was incredibly short but where I still put well over 50 hours into the game. I feel like the length argument is neither here nor there when talking about games. Looking forward to this.

Maybe KPro hired Ullillia and he's their best player
I have to agree. Maybe there's a way to implement a "cure" system into real-time (without it devolving into a QTE), but going into a menu to basically to walk through the motions wasn't particularly fun.
And this is coming from a person who thinks MGS3 is one of the greatest games ever made.

If they made it real time without stopping the action they'd have to drastically scale down the damage effects so it wouldn't be obnoxious, which would make the whole thing more of a pointless chore than it already was.
I hated having to open a menu if a boss as much as sneezed on me, I can't imagine how annoying it would be if I had to do that shit in real time.

I don't know if they do, though. I think Big Boss' survival days are over now that you can call in a helicopter to take you home for a hot meal and a bit of beard-grooming any time you like. The entire MGS series has moved to a more mission-based design from 4 onwards, really, which I can't say I really like. The lone-operative, fend-for-yourself thing is a big part of why MGS3 is my favourite.
Still, though, we know practically nothing about how The Phantom Pain will play, so I'm ever hopeful. I'd love to see some of the more in-depth mechanics return, albeit in cleverer, more streamlined ways.

Well, this doesn't change my excitement. Which is through the roof.
You're right. Times absolutely haven't changed.
You think this because it is the absolute truth.
I'm cool with the health bar being like this. It's a good mix of old and new. It punishes you for playing badly and trying to run and gun everything, but it doesn't mean you're inconvenienced too much by silly little mistakes like jumping from a high place, or making Meryl slap you in the face.

100 hours? Does that mean there is a 96 hour unstoppable cut scene?
All jokes aside, I was wondering if they are actually going to release a batch of missions now and then until The Phantom Pain releases. That would be awesome!

That's some PS1 style innovation right there.
It only took 47 posts, GOOD JOB GUYS.
I love that image with the tank, it's nice to know that we can operate the vehicles in GZ.
Done. Damn I wish Konami would release direct feed images of these.
Kojima loves GTA so don't expect anything less.
Indeed, there are also some really cool ones and new Shinkawa art from a spanish magazine, too bad we can't post this here.
The Red Band trailer made it look like there was no animations showing Snake getting on or off the tank. I am glad there is and from the looks of it, it looks amazing! Those small details make a big difference to me.

MGS1 had the footprint system as well. In the snow, and guards would follow them.

I just wonder how short this game will be, at $39 I was expecting something very short but now at $29
I'm expecting something a little longer than a demo

Will the game have a Platinum?
That's all I need to sink hours and hours into a game...

haha I'm wondering the same thing, if it has platinum and I could get a good 20-30 hours out of it then it might be worth it price. If it's just a 100% trophy completion then nope, i'll wait until it's in the bargain bin for under $10.

Is MGSV:GZ looking like a good place to jump in for new fans of the series?
This is also knowing that the game is basically a demo and yadda yadda yadda.
I'm sure the gameply aspect is fine but i'm unsure how Kojima is handling the story for new players....since in the past playing MGS out of order was always a bad idea unless it was MGS3.

GZ is a direct sequel to Peace Walker. You need to at least play that game to understand the story in GZ. I highly recommend you play Snake Eater and Peace Walker if you have the time. The latter is so much fun to play!

Good one Kojima!
Well lets say there's 30 emblems for finishing each mission with different stats... Easy 100 hours right there!

Interesting, it did give that impression, maybe they hadn't done that one yet.

Should have mentioned I played them.
I'm asking for my dad, who I want to play the game. The last MGS game he played was MGS2. Dunno if I could get him to play Peace Walker or MGS3. He's in the camp that basically forgets the previous system exists when he has the newest one. I think I might just convince him regardless since it is only 30 and he doesn't have much to play on the XBox One at the moment.
well they did show him getting on and off the jeep and turning on the engine back in 2012. But I am interested to see the tank in action. Imagine having the ability to use a chopper in TPP 0_o

Fucking games these days. Halo destroyed them all. Every damn game has to have REGENERATION.
Here, here is a ultra realistic military simulation ... oh but one thing ... when you get shot YOU WILL REGENERATE. Yeah, you are fucking wolverine. You are a superhero even!
Fuck.
" minor injuries regenerate ... otherwise, you use a healing SPRAY ". WTF. What spray? Deodorant? Is this Axe for Injuries?
I know, overreaction to a minor issue. But damnit all. Can't these developers these days atleast try to put some thought and care into the minor details. Can't tell you how awesome it was to see you actually patching yourself up in TLOU.
And does Konami really consider spending 100 hours searching every nook and cranny for little secrets here and there fun? Really? There is a reason kids go easter egg hunting and not the adults. Hell it stops being fun even for the kids if they can't find that last egg within 5 minutes.
