 Posted: Thu, 30th Aug 2012 11:28 Post subject: Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes |
|
 |
 
| Quote: | | The game was announced this morning at Kojima’s Metal Gear 25th anniversary event in Japan. Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes is another prequel starring Big Boss – note the MSF patch on his shoulder. It’s an open world title that was shown running on a high-end PC. |
| Quote: | Metal Gear goes Hollywood
The Metal Gear anniversary event kicked off with a speech from Konami CEO Fumiaki Tanaka, praising Kojima Productions. Attendees spotted former PlayStation lead engineer Ken Kutaragi, Grasshopper Manufacture’s Goichi Suda, Platinum Games leader Atsushi Inaba and ex-Team Ico leader Fumito Ueda in the audience. Hideo Kojima then took the stage and introduced a presentation on the history of the Metal Gear franchise, Kojima Productions, Konami and the Japanese games industry.
After a segment on how Metal Gear debuted the practice of promoting games with teaser and trailers, Kojima made a neat segue to confirm a Metal Gear Solid movie in the works at Columbia Pictures. Avi Arad, producer of The Amazing Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Iron Man, is attached to the project.
Arad took to the stage and said Metal Gear’s 25 year history proves it is a “phenomenon”. He said he’s spent years bringing comics to the big screen, making superheroes one of the most popular film genres today, but that video games are the new comic books. He promised to take his time and get the film right, vowed to stay true to the themes of the games, praised Metal Gear Solid as the first interactive movie, and generally baffled a room full of non-English speakers be refusing to get off stage for over eight minutes.
Kojima returned to the stage and expressed his admiration for Columbia pictures, name-dropping Stand by Me and Taxi Driver among other favourite films. Although no director or actors seem to have been signed to the project yet, Kojima mentioned a few of his Hollywood favourites – Christopher Nolan, Hugh Jackman, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
The movie’s existence was signalled before the event began by backgrounds brought out for photographers, as one attendee shared. |

21/08/12 – Next Metal Gear Solid ‘will launch Summer 2013 at the earliest’, says mo-cap actor
| Quote: | In an interview with Silent Haven, Silent Hill 4 mo-cap actor Eric Bossic was interviewed for his work on Konami’s titles and let slip some interesting information regarding Kojima’s next Metal Gear title, which could allude to Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes.
“My past motion capture session was for an upcoming Metal Gear game,” said Bossic, “I will be back with Kojima again in the fall, and maybe other sessions. This title is a long way off.”
When asked which Metal Gear project he was working on, Bossic added, “I am working on a future metal gear, not to be released until next year summer at the earliest, if not later then that. Im doing motion capture only.”
“I can 100% say my voice will not be involved in this. I dont even know what the title is, they are all very secretive and sometimes even the scenes I act out I dont even know the full story, because they want to keep it secret.2
“I suppose it is fine to mention I am working on it, everybody knows Kojima is making something now, and I posted the photo on my page here with him. The only thing is that I cant ever answer any questions about it or talk about, not for sometime.” |
25/08/12 – Metal Gear’s 25th anniversary event to ‘shake up’ industry
| Quote: | During the latest Kojima Productions Report podcast, Koji Pro’s Chris Johns Talked up Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear 25th anniversary reveal by saying, “A lot of things to look forward to next week, not just for fans, but I think the industry’s gonna be shook by what we’re going to be able to present here.”
We now know that the reveal was Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, and a new social title, Metal Gear Solid: Social Ops. |
30/08/12 – Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes announced
| Quote: | Hideo Kojima announced the next instalment of his sprawling Metal Gear series at his 25th anniversary event in Japan this morning. The game will run in FOX Engine and was shown on a high-end PC.
Attendees were sworn to secrecy on the game, but several tweets leaked out. One account explained that the game is open world, and that the demo showed Snake ‘killing guards, evading search lights by crawling, and riding around in a jeep’. No release date or formats – other than PC – were confirmed. |
| Quote: | | The image of Big Boss confirms rumours that the game will be set some time during or after the 1970′s. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker took place in 1974, some ten years after the events of Metal Gear Solid 3. |
30/08/12 – Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes: what’s in the name?
| Quote: | The name ‘Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes’ is interesting for a few reasons. Anyone up on the MGS backstory will know that Zero was Snake’s commander in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and would later go on to be his arch nemesis.
Zero served in the SAS alongside the Boss and later joined the CIA. Once there he hired Donald Anderson (the DARPA chief in Metal Gear Solid) and Dr. Clark. After the events of Operation Snake Eater he formed the Patriots with Clark and Anderson, as well as Big Boss and EVA.
Unhappy with the Patriot’s actions, Big Boss defected and formed the mercenary group Militaires Sans Frontières (Soldiers Without Borders) and both snake and Big Boss would become enemies from then on.
During the events of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (originally Metal Gear Solid 5) Big Boss forms Outer Heaven, a state for soldiers who are fed up being used as tools by their respective governments.
At some point in the series canon, MSF goes rogue and in 1995, a young Solid Snake is sent to Outer Heaven to diffuse the uprising and eventually takes down Big Boss in battle. Only for him return later in the series.
Outer Heaven is based in South Africa, and so far Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes concept art, FOX Engine demonstrations and today’s reveal have pointed at a South African setting, such as art depicting Big Boss standing next to a Rhodesian Ridgeback dog – native to the region.
This could be the game where we see Big Boss lose his way, as well as sparking his war with Zero and the Patriots. There’s also the little matter of Big Boss saving the life of a young Frank Jaeger in South Africa – the same man who later becomes Grey Fox / Cyborg Ninja. |

Somehow I doubt it will be released on PC, even though it was showcased on it.
| Quote: | | even when you're discovered, you can use all the means and tools to escape rather than see a "game over" screen. |
This part sounds like marketing shit for Conviction, Maxime Retard used almost the exact same words.
Somehow I have a lot of doubts about this.

That would be mean but also true, just imagine the scene: "See guys how great the game looks on a modern PC? Well, the good news is, you will have the same visual quality when it will be released exclusively on your PS4/Xbox720!"  |

Im a huge Metal Gear fan so this great new s for me. Especially the fact that it's going to be about Big Boss.Don't get me wrong , i also live Solid Snake but i think Big Boss is a better character overall.
Open world setting is also intriguing. Lets just hope that it won't be at the detriment of the story , which is imho the best aspect of the MGS series.

WHAT COULD IT BE?!?! WHAT MAGIC IS THIS?!
| Quote: | | The demo is question has been confirmed to be running on a PC, could this PC actually be a PS4 dev kit? Tokyo Game Show May be exciting. |
Could this PC actually be a Gamecube? We may never know.
That article name is misleading to say the least.

I wonder if it's running on a PC only because they are somehow not allowed to run it on a next-next-gen derpsole...

I'm quite curious to know the specs of the PC that was running it, maybe it was a single GTX680 like in Capcom's Agni's Philosophy demo.
