-Sounds like we'll be getting Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain separately. Ties into how Kojima was interested in episodic releases. Ground Zeroes first and then Phantom Pain, as Ground Zeroes "eases us" into the sneaking and whatnot, and Phantom Pain is a huge game that continues.

-Hayter is gone for good

-Ground Zeroes takes place almost immediately after Peace Walker, Phantom Pain 9 years later

-It will be open world unlike previous Metal Gears where you just show up at a stage and go in a linear path. Instead they want it to be "realistic infiltration", you choose how to infiltrate, where to infiltrate, and what time is best to do it. There could be side missions along the way that affect your objective.

-You will only play as Big Boss

-80% realistic, 20% sci fi/fantasy (fire whales and shit)

 

[Voice of Reason]

I liked someone's idea that MGSV essentially spans throughout 2 games, like The Hobbit does.

 

[VertPin]

WTF. Not paying for two games that fill in the role of 1 game.

 

[i-Lo]

It's MGS, Gran Turismo style.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Well thats a little disappointing.

Spoiler

day zero for both.

 

[Grief.exe]

PC version confirmed

Spoiler

Just kidding, haven't watched it yet

 

[Persona86]

WTF. Not paying for two games that fill in the role of 1 game.

The Lord of the Rings were three part movies with about 9 hours footage, I'm pretty sure fans would prefer to get the first part without waiting, instead of waiting for a long time and get all three parts at once.

I'm guessing that's what Kojima is going with.

Expect Ground Zeroes this year instead of next year.

 

[entremet]

Isn't Ground Zero=Phantom Pain/MGSV.

I'm confused and tired of Kojima antics.

 

[Soriku]

Well...the PR guy said TPP was definitely for PS3/360. So I can't imagine GZ being any different.

 

[secretanchitman]

didnt watch the whole thing yet but so far david hayter is confirmed NOT to be in it. oh well!

 

[90TilInfinity]

Easy money for Konami.

 

[Sir Ilpalazzo]

Kojima confirmed that the "horn" is just a piece of debris that was embedded in Big Boss's skull.

 

[fuzzyreactor]

Well...the PR guy said TPP was definitely for PS3/360. So I can't imagine GZ being any different.

haha, the tears if Ground Zero was ps4 exclusive.

 

[funkystudent]

Yeah Hayter probably pissed someone off.

That excuse is bullshit when they are keeping the japanese actor.

 

[Kiryu]

No Hayter... No Real Snake?

 

[Minion101]

PC version confirmed

Spoiler

Just kidding, haven't watched it yet

Actually he did say everything they are showing is running on PC...

Yeah Hayter probably pissed someone off.

I agreed with him on the MGS4 ending.

 

[Minion101]

oops

 

[ASTROID2]

No Hayter no buy.

 

[Exr]

No Hayter no buy.

I see this posted a lot and now you people have me wondering if these posts are serious.

 

[fuzzyreactor]

they can't be


can they?

 

[Aristion]

No Hayter no buy.

Hahahahahaha.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Yeah Hayter probably pissed someone off.

That excuse is bullshit when they are keeping the japanese actor.

I think he did know he was getting the boot. Why else would he ask through Twitter what would we think of a MGS game without him? He knew and probably because he was demanding or something.

Probably more time for him to write that script for the MGS movie! (note he did the script for the first two Xmen movies so he has some talent)

 

[njean777]

I am disappointed about no Hayter, but its Kojima and I cannot say no to Metal Gear.

 

[Tecl0n]

No confirmation on PC, damn it.

 

[MeBecomingI]

His reason for no Hayter is so... bizarre; especially when Akio Ōtsuka is coming back for the Japanese version. Seems like Kojima could angry with Hayter over something. Come on, Kojima. Smarten up... ugh, I'm so torn. I'm excited to see more, but for some reason I'm having a hard time really getting excited like I used to get for Metal Gear. My favourite franchise ever and it doesn't feel like much right now which is strange for me. It just won't be Metal Gear without Hayter, simple as that. Especially if Sutherland will be doing the voice. It might sound funny, but it is an important aspect of the franchise.

 

[Kiryu]

^ ^ ^ Posters above me. ^ ^ ^

No Hayter no buy.

I am sure you're not serious!

 

[toddhunter]

WTF. Not paying for two games that fill in the role of 1 game.

I tend to decide if I'll buy games based on if they are well made and look like something that I will enjoy playing.

But hey, whatever works.

Good on Geoff for playing along with the CG stuff.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

I see this posted a lot and now you people have me wondering if these posts are serious.

They can't be serious, and if they are that's kinda sad.

 

[t26]

So the Pope didn't even ask for a release date ...

 

[raven777]

I watched the interview but I didn't hear anything about Hayter. did I miss something?

edit: nvm. Rewatched and found it.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

So no Hayter pretty much means no more Solid Snake ever?

 

[t26]

I watched the interview but I didn't hear anything about Hayter. did I miss something?

I think it was around 5 min

 

[raven777]

I hope the excuse for taking out Hayter doesn't mean they are taking out Otsuka for JP version. I know the first GZ trailer had him but just a bit worried.

 

[MechaX]

Kojima pretty much gave a non-answer concerning Hayter; Geoff did actually ask why he wasn't even contacted about it, and Kojima was all like "Well, we want to take a new direction with this and that's reflected by the voice actor," despite how the seiyuu for Snake is still the same.

 

[criesofthepast]

Any YouTube link? Not working on my phone.

No Hayter is so disappointing. If they had a falling out just suck it up and get it done for the sake of the fans. Overwhelming majority of MGS fans are really against this news.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

v has come to

 

[SolidSnakex]

haha, the tears if Ground Zero was ps4 exclusive.

It wouldn't make sense for it to be exclusive to any platform. GZ is key to TPP, so people need to know what went on with it to understand TPP. You should just expect GZ to be on the same platforms as TPP. It's already confirmed at a PS3 game

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/09/01/pax-2012-metal-gear-solid-ground-zeroes-is-coming-to-ps3/

My guess is that Kojima doesn't want to comment on it right now because GZ is going to be downloadable. It's his pilot episode.

I think Snakes original is great for that simple action hero personality, but Kojima probably wants to take the character further, make him less one sided, I'm guessing Snake's original and you gotta admit fake sounding voice just won't do for what he's aiming for.

Listen to Snake's Japanese voice, it's a lot more natural and more versatile, it can easily be used for an evolved character.

Or this is all an elaborate ruse!

 

[Byakuya769]

Hayter-gate is really peculiar.

I read it as, "we want to have 'featuring KIEFER SUTHERLAND AS SNAKE' on our commercials."

 

[Grief.exe]

Actually he did say everything they are showing is running on PC...

Its been repeated over and over again that it was developed and running on PCs since the Ground Zeroes reveal.

I'm optimistic that it will be coming to PC though. With the level of visual fidelity, next gen consoles having similar architecture, and Konami's recent push towards the Steam platform.

So the Pope didn't even ask for a release date ...

They probably went over what questions were allowed and not allowed before the interview.

 

[Arozay]

I always groan when Meme, Gene, Scene is brought up...

Also the V = 5 was a bit of a reach.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Sheesh I hope this puts the final nail in teamcg's coffin...

Interesting stuff though

 

[Vidpixel]

After watching this interview, I'm pretty positive that The Phantom Pain/Ground Zeroes will be coming out on the PS4 and next Xbox.

 

[ZanzibarBreeze]

Can't help but laugh at "No Hayter no buy." Those folks will be among the first that get the game. They're, like, foaming at the mouth for more Kojim. Let alone the fact that we're getting a superior voice actor in return (my boy Kiefer).

 

[Grizzlyjin]

*sigh* This is all unnecessarily complicated and confusing.

 

[Pachinko]

Ground zeroes will be a 2-3 hour long demo , like the tanker mission in MGS2. That's what I think at least. Whether it's affixed to another game or just downloadable - who knows ? Cost too , no idea.

Interesting to see him standing by the "running on a PC " answer though, that's what he said at pax prime about the ground zeroes playable demo thing. Taken separately there are many aspects of the games graphics that look ps3/360 level (I mean these are consoles that can make games such as the last of us afterall) , I'm just not convinced that ALL of those graphical details will run well enough on current gen hardware. 1280X720 running at 30fps with some crazy level of detail settings might do it. It just won't quite look that nice, then you'll have a ps4 version with 60 fps 1080p. I'm also curious as to which year it's aiming to release. With new hardware on the way they've got 12 months left to release on current hardware and still make some kind of a dent sales wise. If they wait until NEXT holiday though, they can launch on newer hardware.

 

[blamite]

A lot about reinventing the series... but if that's the reason for getting rid of Hayter, why did the Japanese Ground Zeroes trailer have the same voice actor for Big Boss?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

People upset by the lack of Hayter: why? I realize that he has been Snake's voice, but with each game it has gotten considerably worse. Sutherland will be a good replacement.

 

[ASTROID2]

^ ^ ^ Posters above me. ^ ^ ^

I am sure you're not serious!

Had not gotten around to changing it.
There.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Really didn't want the two separate games thing to be true. Really disappointed he will sell a prologue separately. Especially since we know how it ends already haha.

I really couldn't care less about Hayter after MGS4, so I don't care about him being booted. Akio Otsuka is still probably there because he's more talented and really well known in Japan.
