Do we know if this will come to PC?

Can't unsee the Tactical Espionage Operat Ons on the PS3 one

 

[Gregorn]

Do we know if this will come to PC?

I think Kojima was looking into it, but said it's not a 'priority'. Maybe they'll judge how well Rising goes down on PC first.

If it does ever come to PC it'll be part of MGS5 in 2015 or beyond, doubt it'll be anytime soon.

[ToraShiro]

Is this confirmed for NA? All i know is JP and EU.

Here he is again, your friendly Konami GAFer, here to make all your console wishes come true.

Yes, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions will be launching for both digital and physical retail in North America. That was part of the news that I couldn't reveal yesterday in the other thread regarding the press release that went out today.

 

[Naked Snake]

Release date announced, March 18

The first chapter of the METAL GEAR SOLID V Experience, METAL GEAR SOLID V: Ground Zeroes will be available in North America starting March 18, 2014 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 for $29.99 retail and $19.99 digital. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions will be available for $39.99 retail and $29.99 digital.

Probably posted already, but just saw it on FB

 

[2San]

oh. looks like ill be waiting for the real mgs5. phantom pain right?

That is what I understood. I reckon that Phantom pain will include this stuff.

 

[Brando]

Would like it much better if they kept Kaz on it

 

[Deified Data]

No, I'm not a fan of the cover art.

Did Kojima fire Shinkawa at the same time as Hayter?

 

[120v]

ps360? i thought this was next gen (or technically 'current gen' now) this whole time

holy crap

 

[RaikuHebi]

Both.

Can't unsee the Tactical Espionage Operat Ons on the PS3 one

Well that is atrocious.

 

[-Deimos]

Aren't his eyes the wrong color?

 

[Desmond]

I accepted PWHD's CGI cover as it was a rerelease and looked ok.


This is awful.

 

[LOLCats]

That's bad. Black cover with white text would better.

 

[lantus]

Almost as bad as MGS4's cover, almost. Please save us Shinkawa.

Please change to $29.99 for next-gen digital. That was a typo.

Can't unsee the Tactical Espionage Operat Ons on the PS3 one

Urgh... Cannot unsee now.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Urgh... Cannot unsee now.

Tell them to fix it! Nah, no big deal.

So its the cover for NA too? Could be worse. IV has Snakes face on the front, so I guess its only natural to have Big Boss's on this cover.

 

[Naked Snake]

Please change to $29.99 for next-gen digital. That was a typo.

Done.

 

[Raynes]

I wonder how many seconds it took the intern to make this shit.
And I don't mean the boxart.

 

[Romars202129]

Dissappointing. MGS usually has such awesome covers too...
Maybe they'll have a cool Shinkawa reversable inside, here's hoping...
Though, really and truly a champaign problem here, reality check people.

 

[Gestault]

Lest we forget.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Urgh... Cannot unsee now.

you know I don't think you'd get many complaints if you fix that by making his head a bit smaller on the ps3 box.

 

[JawzPause]

awful

 

[ToraShiro]

Done.

Thank you very much, you kind, kind fellow.

you know I don't think you'd get many complaints if you fix that by making his head a bit smaller on the ps3 box.

Unfortunately, not my call.

 

[IrgendwasmitRot]

I bet some preorder-edition will have a steelcase with art from shinkawa, just like metal gear rising.
Did we even seen a artwork from shinkawa for GZ or TPP yet?

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

I'm at work, is there a Doritofied/Arkham GotY/Battlefield Blue-Orange shopped version yet?

 

[Jawmuncher]

There was some in a artbook in japan wasn't there?

[RaikuHebi]

I think some of the sceptical among us would be much more confident if this artwork had more prominence. Really gives it a classic MGS vibe.

Is there any chance that we'll get an alternate cover with Kaz outside Japan? Any chance?

 

[Card Boy]

I'm confused is this the prequel or MGS5?

 

[Auron_Kale]

I'm actually fond of the CG Old Snake MGS4 cover, as it was really his expression that drew my attention immediately.

But the cover for GZ is straight up terrible to me.

 

[Betty]

I'm confused is this the prequel or MGS5?

This is the prequel/prologue to MGSV: The Phantom Pain.

 

[IrgendwasmitRot]

And there we have our boxarts.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Yeah, this is kind of bad.

 

[GoodCoffeeJoey]

That's how it should look like:

But even so, I expected something... more classy from KojiPro.

I can't unsee this. Boxart looks even worse now.

[Hypereides]

I like it. I think it's decent.

 

[SJRB]

I'd fucking love having Ocelot on the cover, haha

 

[Grief.exe]

I would be ok with this. Would prefer to play the game all at once, rather than in chunks months apart.

 

[JDoe2014]

Aren't his eyes the wrong color?

"lets see... cut out his eyes! i dont like those blue eyes of his"

 

[Liquidsnake]

Uh, Snake, the base is the other way.

This is amazing.

 

[AusRoachman]

Someone's needs todo the ps1 snake face from the playstation exclusive and whack it on there

 

[Graphics Horse]

You can still come through for Europeans Konami!

Neither Horny Snake or Ocelot are in this game tho.

 

[Satchel]

 

[Mellahan]

As much as I adore Shinkawa art, it's like the Bioshock: Infinite box art effect: dudebros are more attracted to tough guy, CG pieces.

 

[Falcs]

Can somebody tell me what's so bad about this? Am I missing something? I mean it's certainly not great, but I don't think it's horrible either.

Aside from how generic it looks, the cover is not exactly in line with the traditional MGS game covers which feature drawings from Shinkawa:

Oh yeah....they always looked green to me in mgs3.

Fuck it, nanomachines.

Ahh, I get it now.
Well I guess it's fitting, seeing as how the series looks to be taking a huge turn for the worse, why not change the cover style too.
