Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes is an open-world MGS game

Reports spilling out from Konami's Metal Gear Solid 20th anniversary celebration have shed light on what's currently being called Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes. According to the excited chatter, it's an open-world game running, unsurprisingly, off the FOX Engine. 

First artwork shows Big Boss in his younger days, posing in full stealth mode with some Sam Fisher-flavored eyewear. He's also sporting a "Militaires Sans Frontières" patch, calling back to his fun soldier club in Peace Walker

GameSpot reports that Big Boss can summon vehicles to get him around the map, with a helicopter and jeep mentioned as transport choices. 

There's more information to come, all under wraps. We'll update as soon as more knowledge is brought before the people.

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)


so when the game mechanics are dumbed down to fit the open world, the only problem will be his hair, right?

#retardedcounterargumentsthatpeopleuse
hot models as villains CONFIRMED! i kid, is this the metal gear solid 5 which was announced a while back or just a spinoff?
YES.

YES.

I MUST, STREAK.



YESYESYESYES
I really doubt it'll not be a fun game. Bit worried about mention of jeeps... maybe making it a bit TOO actiony? And also, wondering when the story will be... after MGS3, before MGS1 but after Peace Walker?
An Open World Metal Gear Solid game? I'm intrigued.
i hope its on vita as well. if you think im a mad man im really not. kojima has said before that all his games that use fox engine will support transfarring so its entirely possible that it can be on the vita as well
@ Nathaniel607 its definitely after peace walker since there was supposedly references to Paz and other things from peace walker
Should be Big Boss invading Zanibar Land to form Outer Heaven to prepare to fight Zero/Cypher/Patriots

Peace Walker ending hinted so much at this and im glad as it only last part of story to tell, should end with Big Boss meeting Solid Snake or starting the Les Infants terabile project
It's Metal Gear SOLID: Ground Zeroes not Metal Gear: Ground Zeroes.
No idea why I omitted the Solid. Fixed.
It's Adam and Metal Gear SOLID, not Adam and Metal Gear.
Wait, that looks like Solid Snake.. what's the difference between the two? Someone explain.
@ Indigit

it Big Boss
no bandana (he got rid of it during PW)
You can see part his eyepatch string above the goggles
the emblem is "Militaires Sans Frontières" patch
on xbox740 in 2014?
indigit: Solid Snake is the cloned son of Big Boss.
Its the 25th aniv. Jim
Ummmmm guys, there's so much cum dripping off my hands. Dear god.
*Instinctively throws money at monitor.*
I like how he's wearing those night-vision goggles with those huge flood lights on him. :D
Yep, I'll buy this day one. Yep.
I think this game will now have Big Boss TIE Solid Snake in the amount of canon Metal Gear games he's starred in. Wow go Naked.
Fuck yeah! Soo getting this day 1!
@hystzen;what-par-of-PW-did-he-get-rid-of-it?...i-just-played-through-it-not-long-ago-and-i-cant-seem-to-remember....i-remember-millermaking-fun-and-calling-it-a-scarf-though...t
Thanks. But cloned son? Like he's the son and also a clone(of Liquid right?)?
Young Big Boss looks an awful lot like David Hayter.
Yes please.
So, any chances that this is hitting the PCs?
@indigit Liquid Snake and Solid Snake are clones of Big Boss. There's not a father/son thing really.
Not quite sure how this will work, but if the gameplay is as fun as the couple hours you get in MGS4, maybe.
@Ardent Snow

Well, they are kind of thought of as sons mostly just because of the age difference. But really, they aren't.
GUYS! I slipped and am now glued to floor. Send help. Thank God I have my vita and the.mgs collection down here.
@Nathan yea i know its referenced that way by Liquid and Solidus, but I was just speaking about what they really are.
Thank god, I was hoping Kojima would make an open-world MGS. That doesn't mean it has to be like Just Cause 2, but I would hope he leaves how we potentially infiltrate objectives up to our discretion. Maybe on top of jeeps and crap, did anybody stop to think we could summon Metal Gear ZEKE?
Just from looking at the header image I thought this was going to be about Splinter Cell. I'm not much of a fan of MGS so after reading this article I am dissapoint.
@ Salamagogo

After beating Peace Walker he throws the banadana away and finally accepts the title of Big Boss and doesnt want be called Snake anymore

(even thought Chapter 5 makes little sense. Big Boss is back to being called 'Snake', his bandanna magically reappears on his head)
Sooooo, basically its Peacewalker 2 on the big toys this time. Can't be worse than 4. Probably.
I posted a huge rant on the forums of how the Rambo game should be basically an open world MGS3 with modern controls. I hope to God this is the design mission for this game!
I hope it's a Legend of Zelda style open world, rather than a Grand Theft Auto open world.
Is that really the name they're going with? Bah whatever, I'm looking forward to this.
Its the 25th aniversary not the 20th
Oh lord have mercy!!!

This news has made me commit a terrible sin.

I will never be able to look at my penis again.
This already sounds fantastic
Sounds amazeballs.

I just hope we finally get to Big Boss and Snake interact for a bit, for all the weight their relationship is given we’ve barely actually seen them do anything together.
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!
(enters phils room) whats going on in he- WHAA! ( slips and falls face down on the floor)
...and I actually beat MGS 1, 2 and 4. Shows how little I picked up on the story. I guess 3 covered the Big Boss thing the most.
Happy motherf***er right here 8D
HHHHNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Hopefully it'll be a PS3 game (unlikely, but a guy can dream).
