Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes is gorgeous, open-world, and not Metal Gear Solid 5
Hideo Kojima divulged details on Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes at an "introspective" PAX session about the series today. The game's demo was shown recently to attendees at a Metal Gear 25th anniversary event in Japan, and involved Snake sneaking his way through an open world.
So what else is new about Ground Zeroes? It's a "prologue" to Metal Gear Solid 5, says Hideo Kojima. The open world of Ground Zeroes is literally the entire world – a helicopter can be called to help during missions or ferry Snake in and out of mission levels. Moreover, you can customize the music that the helicopter plays when it arrives to help you ("Flight of the Valkyries" played during the demo we were shown today – Kojima says the louder the song is, the more of a chance of you getting caught, so maybe Slayer wouldn't be the best choice).
Kojima reiterates that Ground Zeroes is a current-gen game, though Fox Engine is scalable for next-gen as well. He wouldn't give specifics on the name, but calls the game "a beginning" rather than an end for the series.
Is Ground Zeroes the "Project Ogre" we've been wondering about? That's still not clear. What we do know is it's headed to current-gen consoles (360 and PS3 were mentioned) rather than the next, yet-to-be-determined hardware generation.
Praticamente, come si sapeva già, questo capitolo è il prologo di MGS5.
C'è un mondo intero da esplorare in Ground Zero, possiamo persino chiamare un elicottero per farci aiutare durante le nostre missioni (e possiamo anche scegliere la musica da mettere in sottofondo).
Confermata la sua uscita sulle attuali console. Non si sa neanche se questo titolo sia il fantomatico Project Ogre

Kojima Productions are not going to say it’s Metal Gear Solid 5 just yet, but it’s a prologue.
They want to recreate the Metal Gear Solid 1 feeling on the Fox Engine. A few examples of references to MGS1 are the fact that Snake is going through the mission alone. Another one is the quote by Miller: ‘Excellent Snake, age hasn’t slowed you down one bit.’ Thirdly, the shot of Snake removing his goggles was inspired by an artwork of Shinkawa for MGS1, the one that appears on the main menu of the game.
Ground Zeroes is something Kojima is developing personally himself, and putting all his effort into. Snake is back, but he is also back. Kojima also said that this isn’t the end, it’s just the beginning. They have big things planned at Kojima Productions.
