Metal Gear Solid V: Gamescom Gameplay Demo

I loved Ground Zero's but i didn't know the game was anything like this, already have the LE on pre-order, just wasn't what i was expecting, don't get me wrong it looks very in-depth & looks very good, i just want to go sneaking about on missions & not worry about my base being attacked.

You can play offline or just don't build any FOBs.
 
So as far as I can tell, the FOB system is the only place pvp in a Mother Base like environment will take place. You build MB and then at some point pick a new location to build a much smaller FOB. The FOB will provide bonuses and gather supplies that can most likely be collected and moved to MB for safe keeping.

This FOB set up, along with lots of the MB lagistics will logically be the place to put in the microtransactions as it would have the least impact on the over all game. I would think time skippers and maybe recruit packs? I don't have a problem with this as long as there are no ftp walls where it takes 5 days just to upgrade your Maine hub to level 5 or something.

The FOB gameplay, like I said will likely be that ftp style of "mines" that gather and store stuff just by being active and store that up to a cap on the FOB. These stored resources, if not collected and sent to mb, are what can be stolen by invaders. At least that seems like the most logical way to do it. If this is how it works, I will feel much better about stealing them from others. As for soldiers and equipment you place on the FOB, that might be fair game. Lol.

This game is all I have been thinking about as far as gaming goes for a month or two now, and knowing we have another month to go is driving me mad. This is where I drop out of the online community and burry my head in the sand to avoid and spoilers and keep the game off my mind as much as posibld. I am so hype about this game and it's looking like every thing I want in a sequel to all the main line MGS games.

Good luck and see you all in your FOB and in MGO when it comes online.
 
I'll probably open up an FOB after I finish the main story and most of the side ops, I don't want to distract myself from the sweet sweet Kojima crafted campaign.

But man, it looks fun as fuck.
 
Watched the whole thing, and damn is it impressive.
All the FOB stuff got me pretty excited, can't wait to sneak into someone's base.
 
Oh man.... mid-grade gaming PC or PS4. I've got ~1 month to decide...

Both? No, not both.... definitely not both...

Anybody play Ground Zeroes on PC and PS4?
 
I feel crazy overwhelmed with the amount of content this game is offering. The only reason why this might be a bad thing is due to the amount of great titles coming in the next 3 months. Other than that, it's amazing...might be the last Konami game of value.
 
This game can't be real. It can't. This has to be a hoax and Konami will cancel it a week before release. How are they going to fit this on a disc? How is it running on last-gen consoles?

I wish I didn't absolutely suck at MGS. Does anyone know of any good guides or videos for Ground Zeroes?

I also have midrange PC, so I'm fully aiming at PS4 version [GZ was perfect 1080p60, zero frames dropped in Digital Foundry test].
 
This looks so good, but I'm wondering, is it possible to play some missions in co-op? I mean like in PW, where you can play some missions in co-op with up to 4 players.
 
Oh that's ok then, it does look good, but i'm going to run it offline.

There will be proper bullies going about raping other peoples bases, that's what bothers me.

I could see how it would get annoying as you get an invasion alert when you are in the middle of a mission, but it also looks too amazing to pass up.
 
Cool details from Junker:

Soldiers that another player captures from your FOB don't become part of their army right away. They're placed in their brig.

The other player is added to your retaliation list, and you can go to their FOB to rescue your soldiers.

If you don't rescue them before they've been broken, they join their army. While you're there you can abduct the other player's soldiers too

This cycle of revenge ties into one of the game's themes. Friends can view your retaliation list and strike at these FOBs on your behalf.

This draws more people into the revenge cycle.

Aw yeah. MGS-GAF, it appears we can form a coalition of "Don't fuck with us".

specs please boys in all likelihood you will get better or same quality as PS4.
 
Goddamn, this game is insane.

Truly is Kojima's Magnum Opus and true final Metal Gear Solid, I gives no crap about Konami and they treat their employees like crap, so spend all their money Kojma with this game and ride off into the sunset!

These are kind of hard to watch, and could've used some edits, but they show you everything you need to do to S rank every mission. I handled everything within two days of watching this, on PS3 and PC.

There's no co-op unfortunately.

Hopefully someone will mod it in on PC... ;(

It truly would've been my perfect game if it had it in the box, though.
 
Every single gameplay demo that we've had since E3 2013 has blown me away. They've all surprised me. It's hardly believable. Fuck. This game, man. It looks like a masterpiece.
 
Aaaaaah I can't believe we're less than a month from a new Metal Gear game, fuck me. Incredibly happy but also tinged with sadness. But still, I will play the absolute shit out of it.

You can be like me, and own both! I got the PS4 collector's edition preordered and will pick up the digital version for PC!

Though I'm a bit of a huge MGS fan owning multiple copies of the series already.
 
An endless cycle of revenge will create some griefing scenarios for sure. But it will make for some fun rivalries as well. You could get so wrapped up in doing this that you never complete the main game.

I've already told Love Deterrence I will shoot all of his soldiers in their kneecaps and fill up his sick-bay until he renames his army Militaires Sans Rotules.

And they all have been huge 30-40 minute demos as well. That is a testament to how massive, polished and ridiculously replayable it is. It also shows that the game is going to be a masterpiece.

GZ was pretty well optimized. I ran it on my laptop with a 970m on highest settings and it ran 1080p/60 no problems.
 
Really happy with this presentation. I totally expected the whole one and one base invasion thing imediately after they anounced motherbase. It seemed like a level creator from the start to me, so happy that I was not wrong. I'm worried that a part of me is never going to want to leave my bases in a position where i can't physically defent them, if i didnt have a full time job i could totally see myself getting carried away...

Yeah I don't think any other game has made me go "Holy shit" every time they've showed it off. Really hope the story is good as well and that it's a fitting end to the series.
 
Minor spoiler indicated in game play walk through

So we are expected to keep the peace on Mother Base? By doing what whooping our soldiers arses? Or there was some tape I remember where you beat up Miller for sleeping with one of the girls on base. Then showers, morale, development of specialised items, I am guessing multiple play throughs are required to unlock every weapon, did you see the weapons dev list - was huge, and we know weapons can be customised as well. I can see why some say Konami was pissed and Kojima had spend too much money on this.

How many mini games and how long does Konami / Kojima expect me to dedicate to this. Is all of this really necessary?

The amount of stuff you can do in this game seems overwhelming. Well I am not really complaining I like a nice long game just hope its all easy enough to figure out given the fact that we know there are things they have not revealed.
 


A flying psychic and a 6'7" Russian Raichu in human form aren't nearly as goofy as a wormhole like ooook tbh



You can!

Already confirmed that you can

You will be able to....... ^^^
Nice, now it'll be able to listen to ACDC while driving Metal Gear :D

Just think, we also have Metal Gear Online in addition to all of this coming as well.
 
It's a little menu-heavy (can you manage everything iDroid related from the companion app?) but loads to dig into, I'm just going to take everything as it comes, trust the game to explain.
