I really hope you are not including the superbly done MGS2?
MGS2 has still the best stairs climbing animations in videogames.

Yeah, that was about the only good animation in the entire game. Still can't believe Kojima had the guts to take that gameplay, exclude the radar and put you into a jungle... What the hell was he thinking?
I dont know if he was thinking about animations in the first place. Some of them are very good but the normal ones, the transistions between simple movment were to robotic and were still in MGS4. Phantom Pains trailer looks promising with animations though. I guess the focus wasnt on this part of Snake for a very long time.

Well, we'll see with GZ I guess. Don't think that TPP will be different than GZ in terms of animation.
Haha, I know you are sceptical about this for years and you were without a doubt right but I still believe in Kojima. I saw the player animations ins PES with Fox Engine, and they are brilliant, so he has to focus on this. But I dont expect Naughty Dog level of skill. GZ from what I've seen in the videos is a huge step up to previous MGS titles.

It's already better than in ND games since feet are actually grounded and not sliding all the time.
I know Drake was floating but the overall animations were superb. Something MGS lacks for a decade.

I'd rather have them handle the basics right. Also, MGSV doesn't seem to lack quality animations.

Guard AI that can detect footprints!
It will take pro gamers a jillion hours to find all the secrets.

I don't know why people are acting like this is a Kojima Productions released statement? It's not like claiming to have AI for fish in CoD 
Well if you look at a site like HL2B, I think the average is certainly well under 80 hours.
The game itself tells you during the credits there is a Chapter 5, and anyone with an internet connection can look up how to access it if they give up on finding it themselves.
Only MGS 4 has bad gameplay animations. MGS 2 felt great, looked great especially for its time. MGS 3 became a bit obsolete, but still good. 3D camera fixed the jerky direction changes as long as you're changing direction with camera rotation and not movement stick direction.
GZ looks good, the common complain seems to be how BB reacts to landing and that's simply either a bug or design decision. He seems to have landing animations, but they also seem to be skippable if you keep pressing the stick in the direction you wish to go. Everything else looks like the natural progression that you would expect from a sequel to Chaos Theory.
MGS 4 is simply shit in that regard. Completely rigid and unnatural body movements during gameplay.
Disappearing weapons didn't help immersion either, something that GZ alleviates by having the handgun and rifle always visible.

The answer to that is: welcome to GAF
Did you accidentally read an old article about MGS 1 not MGS 5? Are they adding breath fog to the game?

need more MGS news to fill this thing up!!!
So Hype!!! BTW now playing MGS 3 & MGS PW on my Vita.
Enemy footprints tracking was left out from the rest of the games in the series. Only MGS1 had it. It is only normal to bring it up again since it has been more than 15 years since the last time we had to worry about those footprints.
The preview is not stating it is a new feature in the series. It is just a feature that is making a return.

Interesting. I must have been thinking more along the lines of the "completionist" play time. Don't get me wrong, I think everyone should play it. Peace Walker is quite possibly my favorite Metal Gear game. I just don't know how much time people would want to dedicate to base-building and chasing Zadornov around to unlock the true ending, especially with Ground Zeroes right around the corner (where a backstory option is available).
Are you joking?

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
The feature never left. All the main console games have had footprint tracking.

Spreading that misinformation like butter.
Yes it was. But I like how you went from saying only 1 had it, to the rest just not being as significant.
I don't remember being caught or having a guard look for me because of my footprints in MGS2, MGS3, MGS4, MPO or PW.
It was hardly significant in MGS1 too.
This is such a weird argument to be having. Footprints are in a lot of MGS games. Preview was probably written by someone unfamiliar with the series.

people pay 60 dollars for generic 6 hour shooters like COD
what's bad about paying 30 for 2-3 quality hours of MGS which is a series with actual artistic value?
quality >> quantity. when will people learn?

You don't remember the guards in Tanker tracking your footprints after getting indoors and out of the rain?
blood yea footprints nope.
Might have happened but it is not something you have to worry about in MGS2.

Near the locker room there's a patch of wet floor I think. It triggers a PinP view when a guard sees them.
Not that I like COD, but, for argument's sake, few of those players bother with the single player campaign. They instead get hundreds of hours out of the multiplayer.
It's matter of what an individual consumers puts value on.

Dude... It was, like, one of the coolest things about MGS2. One of the many "little details" that fans praise MGS2 for.
Graphics Horse

Batzi's job isn't to tell people how cool MGS2 is.
Multiple rifles. Although the speed in which he takes the sniper rifle off his back and aims it (daytime demo) is rather far fetched.
Really? I had no idea BB had multiple rifles visible. Good news.

Huh? I was just pointing it out that it is a feature in at least one other Metal Gear game.
I am not questioning the little details that Kojima include in the games. All I am saying is that footprints to me was more significant in MGS1 than any of the other games in the series. If footprints are going to make our lives a living hell in GZ then be it, I will be looking forward to that challenge.
On a side note, remember tomorrow is the embargo lift. Prepare to be spoiled.

Ignore me it was a lame attempt at a joke that didn't make sense.

Yeah, definitely. I want as many gameplay details and as few story details as possible!!
Oh! Sorry. These Metal Gear topics get me off my game... You're a funny dude.

Do we know what time? I can't seem to stop myself from absorbing anything about this. It's getting stupid how many times I've watched the night and day game play now.
I'm getting a lot of negative feels from the direction Kojima is taking with Metal Gear and especially GZ. I could see critics destroying the game making it the lowest scoring Metal Gear, thus making Kojima go into hiding to work harder on Phantom Pain. The pressure will get to him and the game will get many delays and probably miss this gen. It could be TLG/Versus of this gen.
I love Metal Gear but those feels man, they are not positive.

i thought this would happen before the bootcamp in japan, but pretty much all impressions out of the event are positive.
i don't see ground zeroes losing points outside of content/length issues. i'm even optimistic about reflex mode, which sounded fucking awful from the september previews.
Footprints tracking in MGS1 is as significant as the footprints tracking in MGS2.
Iol
From my point of view, most gaming critics aren't diehard MGS fans to begin with, and will actually praise things like reflex mode, regenerating health, and simpler controls.
