The Next Metal Gear? Introducing Ground Zeroes

I hope they release a public video of it later on...

Is this demo going to be shown publicly anytime soon?

I dont like the name.

But I'm always happy for more Metal Gear.

Crazy sounding new Metal Gear starring Big Boss on current gen consoles?

Yes please.

awww scoopz man didnt like MGS4? personally it was one of the best games this gen

looking forward to actually seeing the game, cause if it has mark macdonald actually excited then it seems it s amazing

Bring on the crazy.

MGS4 was running on a modified MGS3 engine, there were lot of noticeable signs in the graphics, but hey, that's how you have to make it coming from one generation to another. Good to see that this Fox Engine will be a step up for japanese developers.

But yeah, bring on some old dudes stabbing one another with needles in the neck.

MGS4 is the best of the series. I love them all though, which also means I'm excited by this news. More Metal Gear!!

I'm always down for more Metal Gear.

Snake!! Fire the Stinger!

Tricky no like MGS4? =(

Dammit, I want to see it! AHHHHHH!

Kojima you star.

Could this be concurrent with Metal Gear 1 and 2? Big Boss vs Solid Snake in Zanzibar land?

This would be a cool way to tie it into the story. Though I hope it's off and it's own thing...

!

I made the alert sound in my head - dont worry.

BRRRRIIIINNG!!!

YES YES YES! Hopefully is Big Boss training Solid Snake.

Another Metal Gear?

Personally, I'd take Metal Gear Ac!d 3 first, but whatever.

Considering me intrigued to find out what's in it, but not that excited to play it.

I hope Ironside is voicing Snake.

I'm always down for more Metal Gear - and if the gameplay works out to be different again from the previous installations, that's fine, as long as Kojima's madness is still woven through the heart of the story.

Eh...cool I guess?

@AlexW00d: But they did say they are targeting this gen that includes the PC. So I guess its confirmed for the 360, PS3 and PC.

Goddamn I fucking hope so.

@Draxyle said:

Ground Zeroes is a highly loaded and risky to use phrase.

No it's not.

––––––––––

Sounds good but of course we will need to see it. I hope it's not a continuation of Solid Snake and instead a prequel or Big Boss; MGS4 should be the end of his tale.

PC please, the consoles just aren't good enough for gaming any more, too dated.

If only there were new consoles coming somewhere down the road...oh wait.

Needs more questions.

Good god that's brilliant. Always loved Snake's utter bewilderment.

Hopefully he applies the gameplay and narrative lessons he learned on Peace Walker here. Don't know about the name though.

Needs more questions.

@Benny: MGS3 has invincibility and magic invisible long-range radios in the 60s, this seems like it's gonna take place in the 70s-80s, I don't think you should worry about anything being anachronistic in MGS.

Just finished MGS4. (I had it for 4 years) Loved it! Looking foward to this one.

Haters gonna hate.

Best gaming news i have heard all year.

Sounds great! I'm glad that it sounds like they're pushing the game play.

@M_Shini: There's still time for Kojima to pull a bait and switch by making the protagonist Justin Bieber raised as a child soldier.... actually, I would still play that.

I thought we were done with Snake. All of them.

OK, guys, think of it this way. Every single MGS game is TOTALLY NUTS. Every one in a continuity has to contend with all that insanity, plus add its own. The only way they can possibly add another game's worth of insanity to Snake's story is if they get someone with a breathtaking capacity for highly structured nonsense.

Wonder what Andrew Hussie's up to.

Not Snake, clearly Big Boss. Just look at the MSF logo

I almost 100% agree, except there is talk of a portable music player in the demo which seems a little anachronistic . Probably worth reading this article from gamespot where they describe the demo, though I agree, the MSF logo and eye patch is almost too much for it to be anyone else.

@Delta_Ass: Revengeance is a word though.

I will have my revengence in this world or the next.

As long as it's Snake I'm happy. People are blowing their wad for Revengence because it's Raiden and how decently cool he was in MGS4, but they oh so quickly forget that Raiden was by far and away the worst thing about MGS2. I mean him running around bare-assed and the homosexual undertones about his character had me expecting him to drop to his knees and suck the nearest cock at any moment.

Actually this is probably going to be about Big Boss and the split from Zero. Which is fine. Let Solid Snake die with his birth. There's nothing else for that character anymore, but Big Boss and even The Boss/The Cobra Unit could have some cool stories to tell.

That said the story will be convoluted, they always are, and there's no reason to get excited for this thing yet. A few tweets don't excite me. Seeing actual gameplay footage and some of the things they're doing will. Far as I'm concerned they just need to import gameplay elements of MGS3 to make it good and not go to nuts. But they'll end up going nuts. It's Japan. They don't really know subtlety in game design.

Am I the only one who actually loved MGS4? What's wrong with you people?

My MGS4 trophies say otherwise.

Um, sounds like every other Metal Gear ever?

@avidwriter: that's big boss, so it's probably set before mgs1.

@GunslingerPanda: You said you're bored of Big Boss and want more Solid Snake, I don't see what can be read wrong there.

I WANT IT !

@GunslingerPanda: Bored of Big Boss? Bored of a guy that we played as in only 1 main game and a few spin-offs, as opposed to someone we've played as in 3 main games?

Your reading comprehension skills are outstanding.

New real MGS is awesome news, was just hoping they'd go with a clean slate of new characters.

Here's to hoping they can make a good game around the exsisting characters if it is a new Big Boss episode, which from that awesome picture I'd assume is what they're aiming for.
