Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes demo – watch now

Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes is the new, open-world entry in Kojima Productions’ groundbreaking stealth action series. Watch the presentation shown in Japan right here.

This is the same presentation as was shown during Metal Gear’s 25th Anniversary event, at which the Metal Gear Solid movie was announced. Although press and attendees were forbidden to share what they saw, there’s been a number of leaks and releases in the interim; here’s everything we know about Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes.

Ground Zeroes has not been dated.

I hope it’s exclusive for teh ps3.

Stupid MS with their stupid western audience. I miss the days of no online, disc read errors, clicking noises in mah dvd drive and inferior hardware dominating the market so much that companies could get away producing ‘games’ that would otherwise bomb on PC.

@49 He’s not all that much older than he was in Peace Walker. He’s just going gray. His hair is for from gone “completely white”.

It doesn’t matter either way. The trailer *says* it’s Chico.

Not impressed with what is shown contentwise. But love the atmosphere and engine, so let’s wait and see where they take it. But here we go again with the bad writing: “The pirate crackdown’s a go”.

@53, 56 He’s trolling and insulting exactly for the kind of reactions you’ve given him. The sooner everyone ignores him, the sooner he’ll get bored and find somewhere else to piss off.

Your level of IQ and irony of own behaviour never ceases to amaze me, Michael..

Did you know the surname O’Connor is one of the top results in COD related searches? Unfortunately, including 2012.

What would you do here without any users posting snide remarks :( ?

Indeed. I’m so shallow that I make fun of a page long tirade of how MS ruined both PC and console gaming only to get attacked by a butthurt Sony fanboy and a guy who thinks anyone playing CoD is a retard but likes to point fingers.

Please do post some thoughts on toy evolution or better yet, sexism in Bayonetta. That’s some insightful talk right there.

Developing on a PC and for a PC is actually two entirely different things though.

@66

Its obvious the amount of testing of how the game works with all the varying hardware,OS,configurations where the console has set specs and doesn’r change at all nor do the developers have to worry about what other software is running while the game is playing.

@40 nobody is attacking your (apparently fragile) character. Sure, I may have had a laugh at your expense after reading your tirade about Microsoft (b/c I think it’s ridiculous),
but my comment was not meant to be offensive. Didn’t you see me wink my eye? ;)

MS were supporting the very core of japanese console oriented industry and leading the way for indies on consoles at the time Sony were busy advertising the banana gamepad and going on about cell processors interconnecting TVs and microwaves. Unfortunately, that didn’t prevent many console genres from losing even more relevance and quality.

You have to have quite a tunnel vision to not notice all that.

Nope, it’s O’Conner who is need of that, obv. I don’t even know whom I would compare Old hypocrite’s drunken essays to.. Any N4G CoD hater probably, since they aren’t that special but rather just long winded.

+1 for missing Unpronunceable’s tirade whilst calling me out for being ‘meaningless offtopic’. You have to keep up with your friends I see.

I was clarifying my previous message, which in turn addressed that one.

Some people talking out their ass about console power need to be reminded that the most technically accomplished console game by a pretty large margin is the Witcher 2.

I’ve played the best the PS3 has to offer an nothing comes close to the opening scene where you walk through the siege camp. Take the best scenes in Uncharted (which are mostly matte backgrounds or elaborate skyboxes, with a tiny play area), but then make them fully explorable and interactive.

The PS3′s crippling memory segregation makes large-scale games very difficult to pull off which is why PS3 exclusives are so lavish but narrow in scope. Uncharted, Killzone, Heavy Rain, GoW. All pretty games, but incredibly restrictive.

@79 Did you play Bad Company 2 or Battlefield 3 ?
I am interested to know how does it look on consoles because 24 players,destruction,vehicles and big maps are not easy to render.

I have played them, and visually they are good, but certainly not top-tier. That’s fine though, I’ll take physics, AI and scope over flashy visuals every time.

This game look really promissing… but I hope the Xbox logo had nothing to do with it… MGS was supposed to be a PS exclusive and rarely a Nintendo game once in a while, MicroSoft will just hold this masterpiece down…

@79 What’s so “technically accomplished” about the Witcher 2? I have it but have yet to play it. I’m curious.

@72 Mate you just went full casual, Witcher 2 is the worst rip-off butthurt game on the 360… but you all care more about shooting there right?

I really like all consoles but I hate MS, again, I like the 360, it can do good things, but sadly MS just keep pulling it down and making crappy sequels… And shall we remember they killed the best 3rd party company that ever walked on earth?

@83, Play it, it’s awesome.

I have it on PC so I have no idea what the hullabaloo is over the xbox version. Probably the best things in the game technically (for me) were the skeletal animations and character texturing. Character animation is incredibly fluid in the game, it’s like someone in the gaming industry finally realised the human spine doesn’t just have one pivot point somewhere near the rib cage and decided to give vertebrae a go. The skin textures are also incredibly life-like, people have pores and their scars don’t look drawn on. Geralt’s 100 year old battle scarred naked torso is a sight to behold let me tell you.

Of course people like Gadzooks has to turn this into a console war “Xbox iz better cuz Witcher 2 lookz better den Uncharted 2″ Apples & Oranges. Then you have Da Man consistently going off topic to attack both a certain machine & its users. We get it, Sony touched you in a naughty place- we don’t care that 4 of your consoles broke. Do you have any idea how many Xbox 360s people have been through? No? Then stop being a fucking hypocrite.

Back to topic: Really nice looking game so far. Would have preferred that they released it on PC as well though.

if this game is supposed to release next year, you’d think they’d be showing off footage from a console. Also, i do believe the ps3 can handle this game as is. Just look at the dam ground textures and rocks. It needs improving. Is it hard to make watery /mud ? they need to look at naughty dog. Im guessing their visit to naughty dog last year was to learn from the masters. As for the lighting, i saw the same looking light effects in Beyond: , so yes i excpect the ps3 game to look the same if not improved.

@85 its on my list Freedoms. I heard it was good but I feel it will require Heavy Rain or Journey emotional investment. I have to be in the mood for an RPG much less one with enthalling story and scope. I sunk over 150 hours into Dragons Dogma over the summer but was easy since its just a really fun “B” grade adventure. I’ll get to it..if my 3rd Xbox doesn’t break *sarcastically winks at Da Man*

Da Man is okay with Xbox being a poorly built machine, contrary to what Sdf soldiers want to think he just tends to point out stupidity of deluded customers.

There was a single off topic post before mine, it’s not hard to figure that out.

I won’t call you an idiot since I’m such a nice guy but you ‘re ruining my monitor every day.

Oh boo hoo, oh boo hoo hoo. Did the nasty man correct the baseless horseshit being bandied about by people who arent actually in posession of the facts or first hand experience to back up the wild claims they are making?

Oh diddums, you poor insecure thing.

Why dont you grow a pair you whimpering little child, or fuck off to a forum where people like you can huddle under a nice cosy single-corporation shelter, free from fact and the correction of people who know what the fuck they are talking about.

Thing is you only ever comment on OTHER POSTERS. You obviously arent capable of discussing the issues so you go after personalities. You are effectively a tabloid reporter.

You are the worst kind of forum troll. You are the jerk sitting on the sideline with cries of ‘bottle him’ and ‘go for the balls’ whenever a disagreement happens. But you dont contribute.

So put up or shut up.

Also, CristopherJackArse

And also I’m pissed at how cheap XBOX360′s build quality was, It gave me Red Ring of Death. It works and sounds like a dishwasher machine, when it reads discs in high speed, you’re always at the edge of your sit trying to find a safe cover in case it explodes in your face.
Omg wtf. Do yuo have any iead how many Pos2s ppl went htru?

@90, Me insecure? You used 4 paragraphs attacking me while defending yourself. Just keep to the topic at hand, I don’t ever remember console of choice ever being a part of it. You only see what you want to see, no point trying to convince someone as deluded as yourself.

If you don’t want people calling you out at the pathetic troll that you are, you have 2 choices: 1) Stop commenting. 2) Stop trolling. It really is that simple.

YOU attacked me for laying down some facts and correcting some peoples incorrect assumptions.

YOU also personally attacked DaMan.

YOU ragepost kneejerk personal attacks pretty much every time Sony is criticised.

YOU very rarely contribute to topics, preferring to comment on people instead.

YOU are the kind of petty topic derailing scum that makes debate and discussion descend into what this thread has descended into.

Try thinking before using that bile-spattered keyboard of yours just once in a while. It might make you seem less of an antagonistic, snyde, petty argumentative prick.
