villa4europe Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I'm assuming that by this time next week cex will have a load of them traded in due to the length, it doesn't really bother me (although my love the series is general is probably as low as it's been) but just knowing I'll be able to get it cheaper easily quite soon is holding me back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I saw it in Asda yesterday for £25, think its £22 on Amazon. I'd imagine it will be <£20 within a week or so like you say. I'm intrigued to play it but right now, knowing somebody completed the story in 10 minutes, I just can't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 im sure its a prologue rather than a full game its basically a demo for next years game, edge said that if its a demo then its probably the best demo you'll ever play, and to be fair i played the MGS2 demo for hours... they also said that theres a fair bit of new stuff so playing it and getting really comfortable with it will probably make you enjoy the proper game more i'll get it, like i said its just a case of knowing that the cost of it will drop pretty soon thats putting me off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 From what I can gather, Ground Zeroes leaves the story at a point akin to stopping a James Bond flick after the first 10 minutes, and not carrying it on for another year (or how ever long it ends up being till Phantom Pain) . So I dunno man, for me, I'm gonna leave it until like a week before PP comes out. Unless you really really love the shit out of MGS I'm not sure why you'd consider getting it yet. That said, the extra missions at least do seem to add some length on top of just the main one, and the gameplay changes looks good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 yeah thats what i though too, and seeing as this was the 1st image leaked from the PP i can guess whats happening in GZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Y is it so short? Konami are seeing if they can get people to stump up £20+ for a demo. I suspect there will be quite a few second hand copies going cheap in a week or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted December 11, 2014 Author VT Supporter Share Posted December 11, 2014 I thought as there's little chance of me playing through all these, I'd watch the cut scenes on YT to understand what's going on. They must total 24 hours in total, Jesus Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) Metal Gear Scanlon is where it's at. It will cost you twenty odd quid to watch it, but it's brilliant. Oh, and this menu music just just the best. :wub: Edited December 11, 2014 by The_Rev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 So with Kojima and his team gone by December, will anyone bother with a Konami Metal Gear game/series? I'll be interested to see where he goes next, and can't imagine he'll have too many issues finding a publisher for a new, non-MG game based on his name alone. I intend to play Phantom Pain, after wading my way through the HD collection which I have on PS3, but haven't played yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 said in the gaming thread it'll be interesting to see who owns what, kojima was director of MGS, policenauts, ZOE, currently involved with silent hills too (but not as much as the trailer suggests i think) his studio also designed the fox engine for konami which is used for PES and silent hills will MGS continue without him? would people even touch that? could it be that policenauts and ZOE havent come back because it was him that didnt want to do it and once he's gone they will? think konami might struggle, PES is obviously back, but castlevania is dying a death, silent hill had nails in the coffin before last year and they need silent hills to be a hit, a lot of their old franchises havent carried through to last gen let alone this (suikoden, vandal hearts, contra, beatmania, dance dance) they'll be left with PES and a kojima-less MGS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Will anyone care? The Doors put out a couple of albums after Jim Morrison died but nobody talks about them any more. MGS without Kojima isn't MGS is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 You mean it might be a game rather than an interactive movie? But I agree a Kohima-less MGS will get a tonne of attention which will then turn in to a tonne of scrutiny, I'd guess that the production costs are sky high and konami couldn't afford for a MGS game to flop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 To be fair, there isn't really anywhere to go after MGSV. Possibly the only thing left to do would be a remake of Metal Gear 1 & 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 To be fair, there isn't really anywhere to go after MGSV. Possibly the only thing left to do would be a remake of Metal Gear 1 & 2. To be fair, remaking Metal Gear and Snake's Revenge (MG2) wouldn't be a bad shout if they are going to be so bereft of ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Indeed. The two games aren't really that important to the overall storyline (they're referenced a few times in MGS1 but that's about it) but most people just haven't played them. I'm a pretty big MGS fan and even I haven't touched them. Pretty sure if they did a HD remake of them most would play.
