First Look: Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes

As I promised you guys in my last post, I was going to have a surprise for all you MGS fans out there. Lets take a look at Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes. Yes it is Ground Zeroes guys. The game has no release date yet but it takes place in the MGS chronology right after MGS Peace Walker and right before the original Metal Gear. What does this mean for us? Well, we will get to see how Big Boss decided to start Outer Heaven, because this is the story that lead to it. The game is also being presented as the prologue to Metal Gear Solid 5, so I guess from this game we will see the reason for MGS 5 happening. The game was slated to be released on Next-Gen consoles, but latest information indicates that it will actually be released for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The demo in the video is actually on a PC that has about the same Specs as a PS3 so you can expect it to look just as good. So what is the plot behind Ground Zeroes? Well here is what we know so far, Big Boss or Snake as he is better known is on a mission to rescue Pacifica Ocean and Chico Libre from Camp Omega, the one you see at the start of the video. If you do not know who Pacifica and Chico are, they are characters that were introduced in MGS Peace Walker. The demo gives you the rest of the details of the information available which is not very much for 14 minutes of gameplay, but hey we all like surprises right? The announcement of two MGS games being developed at the same time is certainly a welcome surprise as both of them look like they're going to be great games even though they seem very different. If you haven't read my last post on MGS Rising Revengeance don't forget to do so or you'll miss out on some great footage and information on the game. This is not all the information though, as the same day the trailer above was released another surprise piece of information was given to the audience. The Metal Gear Solid movie is actually a work in progress, it is being produced by Columbia Pictures, and at the helm of the movie is Avi Arad, the producer as such films as the Spider-Man Trilogy, The Amazing Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, Fantastic Four, the Blade Trilogy and pretty much every Marvel movie. If his history of movies is any indication we can expect something good for MGS, and if Hideo Kojima is to be believed he will not allow MGS to be made into a bad movie. Hideo Kojima also confirmed MGS 5, saying that the game will go back to it's infiltration and espionage roots, but that it would also add social interactions with other characters like the ones in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. He also said the MGS 5 would involve asking characters for favors through these interactions, although he was not specific it seems it would involved things like helping you out in missions by providing distractions, offering you transport to places or things of that nature. This is for now all the information we have available on the MGS franchise, but be sure that we will keep updating you of any new developments, and if you haven't watched the video on top make sure you do so, you wont regret it.
