It's a bummer that the game only allows one save state in the game (and it's an auto-save).

Like if I'd like to restart to take screenshots from the opening cutscenes, I'll be forced to delete my progress so far...

 

[Valkyri von Thanatos]

It does.

Well, if you say so. I did say in my post it may be a different scenario for PS3 vs that of next gen consoles. If you have the PS4 version can you check out the audio tape section of the game for any "import music" options?

Oh good idea. I'll try that.

And for the record, I have my Brightness slider in the game set to minimum, because even there I can still see the MSF logo which the instructions state I'm supposed to adjust the brightness until I can't see it. Not sure if that affects the accuracy of the screenshots I'm posting.

No import music option. Bummed me out some too.

Create a new account or use a different account on your console. Should use a different save file

[Rogue Agent]

No, as far as I can tell. I mean, just look at the difference between this


and this

Hmm, well those definitely look different. Is the cinematic screenshot taken from last gen? I wonder if it's a different deal on PS4.

am cry.

Seriously, though that sucks, but I bet Kojima won't just abandon Ground Zeroes for patching, once the PS4 finally gets those features I bet Ground Zeroes will patch it in, sucks though considering the hype that was built around the feature.

 

[BattleMonkey]

If I order this digital on PS4, is there a preload option or feature for this?

 

[cackhyena]

Nope, day of download only.

 

[Ishida]

BB from GZ looks a Gen better than MGS4 Snake

Well, you disagree with me. That's a tragedy.

Anyways, my mind is still blown about Ground Zeroes' ending being rendered on last-gen consoles. Shit looks amazing.

 

[Love Deterrence]

Sweet Jesus, that looks insane.

Spoiler

Time to port beg. ;-)

 

[TalonJH]

Im curious, does Ground Zero have a platinum trophy? I only question it with it being "short".

 

[Chinner]

"Nostalgia" is the popular excuse today to complain about people liking what you don't. Hayter was terrible in your opinion, and in the opinion of many others. And he was great and iconic in my opinion, and the opinion of many others.

must have been an issue as kojima got rid of him. it was obvious hayter was getting too comfortable in his role.

No Platinum trophy.

No Platinum, unfortunately. A Konami rep says that he will pass this concern along, but doesn't expect it to be taken care of before launch. So, it may or may not ever happen. We'll see!

I believe he was switched only because Kojima wanted a big celebrity to play the main role, but anyways.

Man these are mindblowing considering they are coming off ps3 hardware. NEED MOAR CLOSE-UP SHOTS!

What time is it available on the day of release? Midnight? PDT? EDT?

 

[Raynes]

Anyone know where I can find a full playthrough of the main mission on PS4 in english?

 

[cackhyena]

I think someone said 12 est on Monday night. Could be wrong.

 

[Naked Snake]

It does.

Alright. Took a lot of screenshots from the opening cutscene just now using default brightness, all direct-feed uncompressed PNG from PS3 (real time, you can zoom any time):

More here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/adelgary/sets/72157642441511583/with/13201794353/

Looks like the models are identical in-game and in cutscenes and across consoles (please correct me if I'm wrong). The lighting and shaders look much better in cutscenes though. Also I wonder if it could be running at a higher internal resolution?

 

[Nibel]

Where ?
Still looking for a cheap version.

The FOX Engine sure does miracles. Last-gen consoles have come a long way.

Still think MGS4 Snake looks better? Edit: nevermind, forgot you said that doesn't apply to cutscenes.

Wow, sorry for being late to the conversation on this, but that PS3 version looks incredible. I just scrolled through the screens assuming it was PS4.

 

[Ishida]

As I mentioned, only the in-game model. Everything else looks better on Ground Zeroes, by far.

Is it true these Dogs are only in the cutscene and nowhere to be found in the actual game?

 

[Chamber]

Has anyone bothered to pixel count the PS3 version? Curious to see if it's native 720p.

Spoiler

Yes, cutscene only.

Kojima/Konami confirmed that both PS3 and 360 versions run at sub 720p resolutions and are upscaled by the consoles.

WTH?! Even that is missing? I was hoping to platinum it when i get it, so sad.

 

[Naked Snake]

Pretty sure it's not. It's internally upscaled, like MGS4 (which was 1024x768 with 2xAA temporal). Still no word on exact resolution of GZ, maybe Digital Foundry will answer that.

 

[TheBoss1]

Those screenshots look awesome regardless of it being on PS3. Only a couple more days!

What is up with Chico's face? He looks like an old man.

It's ... it's justified.

Play the game when you get the chance.

I see. The final result looks pretty good regardless.

 

[Ishida]

I think it's only a bad moment in the animation. He looks great on that scene.

He's seen some shit, man.

Yeah that too.

 

[Pavillion]

Anyone got xbox one screens? curious to see how it looks outside of the comparison trailer.

That's honestly what I expected. Not really a problem, just my curiosity.

 

[Rogue Agent]

Spoiler

Yes, cutscene only.

Well that is disappointing. I love how outside of that the intro is a nice cinematic representation of the area we'll be sneaking around and the guards we'll encounter. Pretty sure the dogs didn't fly off with XOF either.

 

[Wishmaster92]

I remember reading something about his growth being stunted and not sleeping enough, but don't quote me on that.

 

[NullPointer]

No Platinum trophy.

Has there been any explanation for this? Seems completely bizarre.

Tweet Kojimmy. He'll make it right.

Spoiler

GZ will have DLC, which is why there is no Platinum yet. Kojimmy rustled everyone.

 

[eso76]

The in-game suit may be debatable (In my opinion the MGS4 looks way better), but there's no contest when it comes to the face. MGS4's in-game model face looks better than Big Boss' on MGSV.

Wat.

 

[Ishida]

Wat.

Oh, I see you are late to the party. Here, grab a chair.

 

[Wishmaster92]

PS4

PS3

 

[SJRB]

Wat.

I can see where he's coming from. The wrinkles and grooves on Old Snake's face make it seem more detailed than Big Boss' face in MGSV.
