Here's another tidbit from the GI article: We've seen the "vast majority" of Ground Zeroes' content. Also, they totally just lay out the entire story in the article.
Big Boss rescues Chico and Paz.
They get on the helicopter, but there's a giant V-shaped scar on Paz's abdomen.
It's a bomb! But they pull it out and arrive at Motherbase...
Which has been mostly destroyed by Colonel Skullfuck's shitty voice acting.
They rescue Miller from Motherbase and get in the helicopter again.
But the Patriots anticipated that Big Boss would find the bomb and have a back up plan that somehow puts Big Boss in a coma. (This plan is not specified.)
Don't spend $40 on this.
It could be 15 minutes and I'd still buy it. The one franchise I will buy without question day 1.
2 hours? Wasnt it 4? 4was ridicilous, 2 hours.. no words. 20 euro per game hour.
Very interesting Kojima interview in the issue. Basically talks about how he got into gaming and how he is stuck being the Metal Gear guy. He claims he does not want to be known as that man, he claims he doesnt have much time left cause he is 50 so he wants to write a list of all he wants to do before he dies and make sure he does it which includes writing a novel and making a movie.

"Game Informer played through MGS Ground Zeroes' main mission in under [2 hours]"

He claims he does not want to be known as that man, he claims he doesnt have much time left cause he is 50 so he wants to write a list of all he wants to do before he dies and make sure he does it which includes writing a novel and making a movie.
He claims he likes simple stories, ironically. He said he always tries to make a simple story. He says he wont let series canon hinder him from telling the story he wants so if he has to contradict a few things he will.
There was a comparison of him and James Cameron with Aliens where that franchise was handed off after Alien and it was successful. Kojima said his situation is more like Terminator where if he left it would become a mess. He claims he has had no success in passing the torch which implies he has tried. There is a lot about Japanese culture and how he doesn't relate to any Japanese developers anymore except Platinum Games.
What I found most interesting is his talk about GTA and Konami. Remember that GTA tweet about how amazing an open world it was and how he was jealous. Well he says he is jealous of Rockstar that they are able to pump all their resources into making the game they desire. He says he can't do that, he still needs to work with Konami and partner on different projects and make sure things are balanced for Konami as a whole.
He says he just got into Breaking Bad and he is pissed cause he wasnt the one to come up with that story, he wants to tell that kind of story. He says if he pitched a story like that to Konami they would probably say no. He also loved Gravity, loved how simple it was and he says trying to create a game that simple would be hard with Konami. He says that movie really impacted him, making something out of the ordinary a big success and is jealous of it as a creator, says it stirred something in him.
He talks about how he is close friends with Guillermo Del Toro, says he would like to work with him one day.
I feel kinda bad for him. He actually wants to do something different but is stuck. If he left Konami, someone else would take over MGS and fuck it up yet if he stays, then he's stuck doing sequels. Really sad scenario.

He needs to check his ego. How could he ever expect a developer to make a game without him when they are called 'Kojima Productions'?
His team are perfectly capable of making great games, I am sure. They might not be Kojima games, but they don't need to be, and they never could be.
Including cut scenes? Holy shit.
What's worse is that people openly admit they'll buy it regardless, and then go shit on Killer Instinct.
Hey, Konami!
The MGR fiasco disagrees. They couldn't do shit other than essentially twirl ribbons around for years.

If he wants to make other games I'm Konami would allow for that. But he can't separate himself from Metal Gear, so that isn't happening.

Went from 4 to 2. I'm sure it can't any lower.
Hahaha, what?Including cut scenes? Holy shit.

It is a $20 downloadable game.
Not really. The thing can be utter shit and I'll be there day 1. Everyone has that one franchise that they'll get no matter what just to see the next entry. You may want to invoke the "vote with your dollar" policy when it comes to things like this but for me if it says Metal Gear I'll buy it without question.see that sort of attitude is just ludicrous
I know it's hardly the same thing, and sorry if it's already been mentioned, but the speedrun record for MGS4 is well under two hours, and less than 90 minutes for MGS3. Gameplay sections of MG games have never been particularly beefy when you look at it. Just sayin'.
