Watch 11 Minutes Of Stunning Gameplay From Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes


 

This is the unreal gameplay footage from Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes that director Hideo Kojima showed off at an event today in Seattle.

Ground Zeroes is a prologue to Metal Gear Solid 5, Kojima said at the event. As you can see, it looks pretty damn good.

Enjoy the video.

All I have to say is Wow. This is basically exactly the same type of opening as MGS4. It transitions into you taking over the character at around the 9 minute, 20 second mark, but everything leading up to that is equally as stunning. Kojima truly is a mad genius.

Also Mods, I was not sure if this game was going to be multi-platform or not, which is why I posted it in the main Gamers Hangout. If it is a PS3 exclusive, feel free to move it to the Sony section.

For some reason cannot get the video to embed. So have to click the link. Sorry.

Looks fantastic. IGN also have 14 minutes extended video which shows Snake calling in a helicopter, shooting someone and driving a jeep briefly.

And thanks for the clarification it is multi-platform, I figured it would be.

The graphics are quite impressive. I don't think I've seen cloth physics that good in any game or tech demo (yes, even the next-gen tech demos). The demo had to have been running on a high-end PC. I'm certain that current consoles can't produce visuals like that with reasonable performance.

As for embedding a YouTube video, it needs to be in this format:

As opposed to:

12 minutes of gameplay? Really?

All I saw was 11 mins of prerender cut scene with 30 secs of a guy crawling. How exactly is that impressive?

Aside from the stunning graphics, it's a gameplay demo of a game that many people are looking forward to. It's also going to be the first Metal Gear Solid game to be released for PC since MGS 4: Guns of the Patriot. And the cutscene wasn't pre-rendered. It was rendered in real-time.

By the way, it's still a gameplay demo because it's showing the game from the beginning. MGS games have somewhat long introductions before you can control the main character.

Actually no you did not, what you saw 12 minutes of real-time in engine footage. That is what is so impressive.

Not exactly what I'd call gameplay, now is it.

Also, there is NO way that it's going to look even remotely like that on the current consoles especially the PS3.

Since this is using the new Fox Engine, which was talked up as being multiplatform I figured the game itself would also be multiplatform. Hope it is, I'm not going to buy a PS3 at this time just for one game.

Just re-watched it a few times, I don't think I've been this excited about a MGS since buying Zone of Enders just for the MGS2 demo disc.

The graphics are mind blowing for an open world game.

There is nothing there from what i can see that current gen consoles couldn't handle.

I think at most we'll lose is texture quality.

Hopefully with it being open world, there will plenty more gameplay opportunities. MGS4 was good but it was all cutscene and when you did get to play it was in short bursts.

MGS2, actually. MGS2 Substance got a PC release in 2003. So yeah, it'll be the first MGS game on the PC in ten years (MGR: R was going to come first, but then Konami decided to wait and see about doing a PC port).

Demo looked very good. Engine as always seems to display and maintain a lot of detail. I'm hoping they can keep this consistent amongst all the platforms. A certain buy for me on this one ;)

Yeah, I meant to type MGS 2: Substance. I know MGS 4 didn't have a PC release.

Say what you want about Japanese-made video games, but those folks really know how to tell a story. Compared to this introduction, what I've seen and listened to while playing the entire Diablo 3 game (a "western" title that should be all about the story, if you want to have a good reason to hack'n slash the world around you) is a 11-year old-tailored tale with the appeal of a twilight book to someone hating vampires AND twilight sparkling things...
