Ok, the logos are on it now, so there's no excuse.

Can we bring this to Kojima's attention? Like, seriously.

The difference is so staggering. Like the best cover art ever vs. the worst.

Get dat info people.

Yes, sir! Just started reading and something that people had been speculating on has been confirmed: there is an app for second screens and this app not only will show Snake's map, but will play audio files and view mission information. Will share more; again, just started reading!
 
Hmm, never played any of the Metal Gear games so not too sure how interested I am. A little bit I suppose since I have friends who really like this and have been a bit curious.

No way am I actually buying Ground Zeroes at that price though.

My coworker will be psyched about this issue though since MGSV was the game he was waiting on the PS4 for.

Thank you sir! Any new screens? can't wait for more information :)

No problem! :-)



New screens are nice, but don't vary much from what we have seen before! Though, there is a screen of a tank being controlled by the player during the Ground Zeroes portion of the game.

Also, Game Informer clarified that they did not play the final version of Ground Zeroes!

This is big.
 
I'm not sure Kojima has direct influence over stuff like game cover art. Didn't he tweet that they removed Kaz from the US/EU covers because marketing thought it wouldn't appeal to people? So the Japanese cover has Big Boss and Kaz, and the EU/US cover has Big Boss and a ..helicopter, I guess.

He and Shinkawa are super tight, I have no doubt Kojima would want nothing more than having his artwork on the cover.

Yeah, I'm sure if Kojima would have the last word on boxarts we'd see much more Shinkawa art than the shit we get now but since Konami is the one with the big donga they think a cover like the current one will get them more sales.

Just kidding, great cover.

You better check yourself.
Kidding.

I was fortunate enough to meet Shinkawa-san at last year's E3. He is a boss amongst bosses, for sure. Very pumped at that art.

For those that don't know, GameInformer will have content made available every other day for GZ for a while, so make sure to check out their MGSV hub if you're interested (there's also some bomb-ass Shinkawa work on that page, too).

Bring on the questions!
 
Interesting bit of info:

A timeline at the end of Ground Zeroes mentions an underground nuclear testing facility in South Africa that was abandoned in 1977.

Does the physical version of GZ in the US contain a full manual? Colored?

This is important.
 
I need a clean image of that cover so I can use it as a wallpaper.
It's amazing. I need to get my hands on this actual issue. Since all I have is the digital issues.

Not MGSV related but

Why isn't Metal Gear Acid 1 and 2 on PSN?
Is it an oversight? licensing Issue? Does no one like the game at Konami HQ?

Did the version GameInformer played include the whole ending cutscene? If so did they tell us the whole ending in the article or was they told to keep quiet? I mean according to the article they weren't even sure if what they saw lead to the coma or not.
 
Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes 'looks slightly better on PS4 than Xbox One' – Kojima

Discussing the game's visuals following a hands-on playtest in its latest issue, Game Informer states that "Kojima Productions’ hard work under the hood pays off in the graphics department," noting Fox Engine's impressive lighting and the sight of "watchtowers [crumbling] to hundreds of pieces with an RPG shot".

However, it later adds that "Kojima notes that MGS V looks slightly better on the PS4 compared to the Xbox One, something we also noted before he mentioned it."

It isn't clear from the article how the two versions differ from one another, or whether one runs at a lower native resolution than the other.

A Konami representative told VideoGamer.com that they were unable to confirm the native resolution and frame rates of the two versions when contacted about any potential differences last week.

Just started reading the article, less than hours for the main game is disappointing, but I still wanna play it.

EDIT: And the side missions all take place in the same environment? Reading this is making me ever more sad

Here's a question... what's up with that image of Solid Snake hidden in the background? ;)
