UPDATE:

I work for Konami (KDE-US) and I can confirm that at this time there are no plans for a retail version of the Xbox One and PS4 SKUs of GROUND ZEROES. That's the official word around the office right now. Also, unsure if Ashlee is affiliated with the company at all, or just a fan (she's no one I know at the UK or US offices).

EDIT: Further messaging regarding the retail versions: "We will announce more details regarding the packaged version of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes at a later date, please stay tuned"

In a press release sent to VG247 today, Kojima said of the ties between both games, “The advanced capabilities of the FOX Engine have allowed me to tell the new story in a new way. There will be a significant difference in what Metal Gear Solid : The Phantom Pain brings to the series, so we want to ease players into the new open world environment and its potential. As such, Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes has been designed to introduce key elements, allowing them to fully benefit from all that the new game will offer.”

Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes will launch Spring 2014 on PS3 and Xbox 360 as a boxed release at £29.99, while digital versions will cost £19.99., while PS4 and Xbox One digital versions come in at £29.99.

According to the release, Ground Zeroes, “charts a rescue mission as users infiltrate a Cuban prison camp, and sets in motion a series of events that culminate in the stunning plotlines of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.”

Nice, getting the boxed PS4 version. How long will the game be?

edit: lol no PS4 boxed copy, not bothering then. 30 quid for a digital "prologue" is a lot, they'll likely include it with the final game anyway.

Dat £10 next gen tax.

 

[RPGamer92]

Oh snap, didn't expect this so soon :O

 

[YuriLowell]

no retail ps4 version?

 

[Nakazato]

bought cant wait hope we get a taste of the NEW MGO

 

[Zemm]

Why are the PS4/Xbone digital versions so much more? Is this how they are going to increase prices via digital?

 

[Majine]

Wait what. I thought Ground Zeroes was MGS5's answer to MGS2's tanker prologue.

 

[Busty]

Hmm.

I'm surprised it's so cheap. Is this some kind of 'GT Prologue' esque edition to the MGS series?

 

[RaikuHebi]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES.

Fucking hell some truly exciting news for once.

I have a strong feeling that the main game is going to be next-gen only.

But now I'm caught up as to whether I will get a PS4 just for this prologue...

 

[SJRB]

Is it me or is that expensive as fuck?

 

[idlewild_]

No boxed next-gen versions? Also seems kind of expensive for a prologue, is there any indication of how large the game is supposed to be?

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Day one

Kinda happy will play next gen MGS in the spring, but sad it will just make me want the full game so much more!!!!!!!

 

[kazebyaka]

So it's like Gran Turismo Prologue, huh?

 

[LTWheels]

wish the next gen digital was 19.99...

 

[Carl]

£10 more for digital next gen versions?

lolfuckoff

 

[satam55]

No PC version?

 

[angular graphics]

Hmm.

I'm surprised it's so cheap. Is this some kind of 'GT Prologue' esque edition to the MGS series?

Yes, something like that.

 

[Gbraga]

Sounds expensive.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

$30 for a prologue

they'll get suckers to buy it

 

[nbnt]

Damn. I was hoping they're both a single release. This is like playing half of a game and then waiting months to play the other half. :|

 

[dex3108]

Is this only 1 mission set in Cuba? Is this tutorial? What is MGS:GZ? XD

 

[onlyindreams]

There better be a fucking physical PS4 version ughhh

 

[x-Lundz-x]

For 30 bucks it better be more than a few hours of playtime.

But I'm so in for PS4 version.

 

[alr1ght]

So the full MGS5 at the end of the day will cost $90 probably. Konami.

 

[Pie and Beans]

They don't even bother making the Zone of Enders ish to pack in with the MGS demo anymore...

Selling the next-gen version of like... a limited demo of the full sequel for what I perceive as full retail price is... a little ouch.

I guess this also brings forward my "when I need a PS4 by" timeframe :/

 

[ComputerMKII]

£29.99 for a demo?

 

[Infernal Monkey]

No retail release for X1/PS4? Bleh.

 

[papercamm]

Sort of like Dead Rising 2: Case Zero. Neat.

 

[j0hnny_385]

I don't get it. Next-gen digital only?

Anyway, will be getting the PS4 version. \o/

 

[Quackula]

Watch the full Ground Zeroes be playable in Phantom Pain anyway.

 

[Zemm]

So the full MGS5 at the end of the day will cost $90 probably. Konami.

Damn, didn't even think of that, crazy if they don't include the prologue in the full game.

 

[Inferno313]

So Fall 2014 for The Phantom Pain?

 

[angular graphics]

No PC version?

Not now, but they are looking forward to release it later. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=586141

Of course we are developing on a PC, so we look forward to releasing something on the PC sometime, but right now we have no release date, we are not really looking to do that right now, that's not a priority, so, we are making it and we hope to put it out [on PC] as well.

 

[TasTokyo]

I thought this was basically a bigger version of Dead Rising 2: Case Zero. I.E. Same game just a different and much smaller map.

If so the price seems extremely high. How different and how much content exactly is there?

 

[d0nd]

so maybe a 3-4 hours of play?

 

[RayMaker]

so GZ and PP are two seperate games?

I wonder how long ti takes to complete both of them,

for £30 I want at least 8hrs of gameplay

 

[Guymelef]

Steal.

 

[SargerusBR]

No PC?

 

[Yazuka]

Hope they release a physical copy for the PS4, otherwise I'll wait.

 

[Sephiroth_VII]

OMGOMGOMG!!!

Would've preferred them to be one game, but so what. I really hope they release a disc-based version for the PS4.

 

[WhoaIsThatMars]

*grabs lube*

 

[LeleSocho]

Will go total media blackout until Phantom Pain is out hoping for a combo boxed release of G0s and PP for next gen.

 

[AuthenticM]

I want a boxed next-gen version.

 

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Is it me or is that expensive as fuck?

Depends on the content it has.

 

[Anteater]

I thought the next gen version is the same game (no assets upgrade) but at higher framerate and 1080p, I don't think it should cost $10 more.

Edit: Pics look good.

 

[GYNGA]

Digital pricing done right I'd say

 

[angular graphics]

£29.99 for a demo?

Metal Gear?!

 

[SolidSnakex]

so GZ and PP are two seperate games?

I wonder how long ti takes to complete both of them,

for £30 I want at least 8hrs of gameplay

Think of GZ as MGSV's tanker mission.

 

[Zaventem]

Always boxed anything. I hope them make a steelbook version too.
