Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes Debut Trailer

We spent some time at PAX wondering if this should really be "Grounds Zero" instead. Can you even have multiple ground zeroes?

Fucking Rad! Maybe "Ground Zeroes" refers to the players in the theater of war...hmmm? Like everyone involved loses, or is a "zero", and the epicenter of an epic event, a double entendre...

The amount of responses from people who obviously didn't play Peace Walker breaks my heart.

That was a really great game.

Oh yeah, and where did you hear that?

Don't make stuff up.

If that video wasn't pre-rendered at a PIxar-grade render farm somewhere, it was running on a $5,000 PC like everything else. If you think the current-gen consoles are capable of that, then I've got a bridge to sell you.

@KevinK: Kojima said it himself but to be more precise its more on the specs of the PS3 http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/09/01/pax-2012-metal-gear-solid-ground-zeroes-is-coming-to-ps3/

Don't tell him hes making stuff up and then completely make something up.

On the 8-4 play podcast and on many blogs they have reported that Kojima has said it is coming to PS3 and XBOX 360 and that he wants to get it out soon and not make players wait for it.

It might not look quite as good as that trailer, but I doubt they are stupid enough that it would be far off as they know people would be super disappointed. I think you need to be less cynical and have a hug.

"Ground Zero" means the hypocenter of a nuclear explosion. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were Ground Zeroes. It has nothing to do with 9/11 or kamikaze planes. Also, there's 3 extra minutes of gameplay on the IGN version of this video.

If it's big boss, then I'm in. Is this while is forming Zanzibar or whatever his PMC is? And assuredly that's Raiden as the child, but do those timelines fit. I thought I learned to stop trying to think about the MGS story and just accept it....

@KevinK: Kojima said it himself at PAX, smart ass. He made a point of saying this is running real-time in a pc with specs similar to current gen consoles and said it loud and clearly that this game IS. NOT. NEXT. GEN.

Wow. Crazy song pull. Here's to You is one of best Morricone songs around.

I like all the posts about how impossible it is that this game is current gen/video is pre-rendered. Must be kids who never played MGS.. or everybody forgot this series pushes graphics every time it lands.

Heh. I'm pretty sure "Ground Zeroes" is just a play off "ground zero" and WWII "Zeroes" Japanese aircraft.
Kojima said in his own twitter that it's actually about two literal hypocenters.

From the timeline, I would actually guess it is Liquid Snake. Raiden appears in MGS2 which takes place 14 years after Metal Gear which takes place 20 after Peace Walker. Raiden probably isn't born yet here. And considering the accelerated aging of the clones, it is probably one of them.

MGS's overarching story/plot got way too confusing for me long ago and the gameplay was not enough to hold my attention. That being said, I do appreciate Kojima's crazy brain and his take on making video games. The new engine looks pretty nice, might check it out for that.

Vita release = psp version... that's why they didn't release an"HD" version..... because as far as the vita and psp screen sizes are concerned Peace Walker is already in HD and since its a NEW game still it doesnt really need a remake yet... just sayin download it on psn/sen it's worth it for the story alone ;)

Revengeance is a real word.

Look it up.

I'll go ahead and do that. No, it's probably not a word. There's nothing I can find anywhere that tells me it is... at least anymore. You may find this, but that may as well not exist because you can't go saying it's a word simply because there's been use of it in the past. Mr. Grandmaster there was just trying to get a little colorful with his rhetoric, using one of many insane words the bible uses. Don't forget, though: just because some translator or author somewhere decided to use a word does not make it an actual word. Plus, the bible is two-thousand years old. In two-thousand years "English" speakers will not be speaking the same language I'm typing this in; language evolves.

Then you have this:

Revengeance ReĀ·venge"anceVengeance; revenge. [ Obsolete]

taken from Webster, after finding no definition of it anyplace else. Notice the "[Obsolete]" part. There you have it: even Webster, the only reputable source I could find willing to list the word, says it has no place in modern-day spoken English, therefore *no longer* existing.

The word is stupid. Let's keep making fun of it.
