Great OP! Can't wait to sneak with Snake again.
So close now, this game really can't get here soon enough.
Previous events will be detailed through audio tapes, but the HD collection or youtubing the cutscenes might be better.

You should be fine honestly, the game contains some backstory to read.
All you need to know is McDonell Benedict Miller is now called Kazuhira Miller because reasons, they built a fortress in the caribbean sea and became a nuclear power somehow by cobbling together parts of robots with the help of Otacon's dad, who sounds like Otacon.
Paz was being sheltered at the base and secretly a spy but most people who've played the game haven't seen the secret ending where that's revealed.

JUST WATCH THIS! [and ignore how horrible David Hayter's voicework is]

Full storyline run though Peace Walker, with special focus on most important tapes and everything that will be of importance for Ground Zeroes. Incredible play-through on hardest difficulty.
The only thing that you need to know from Portable Ops is that there Big Boss first established his mercenary army [MSF], got the funding he needed, met Frank Jaeger for the first time, heard from dying psychic that he will be killed by his sons, and heard of the concept of Outer Heaven.
Playing the PS3's version. It looks stunning in the context of the PS3's history. However remembering what I saw of the PS4 version the resolution = jaggies, textures, lighting, rain and most importantly framerate and lack of Hayter all suck...But no way am I waiting 8 more days for the PS4 version. This is Metal Gear ffs!
So I've justified my impatience by turning this into a personal graphical comparison lool.
The actual gameplay is sweet. It feels great to control, Snake seems more mobile than he ever has been. I saw a rooft I could climb it, I saw a fence I could climb it, I saw a car I could climb it...
All guards dropping weapons is great. Always looked awkward in MGS games that one couldn't pick-up guards weapons.
The buttons have slightly changed but I'll get used to it. There seems so many actions one can do. And finally the pause menu doesn't pause but is full of stuff. Almost gives me an RPG vibe with the amount of stuff one can do in there. You can listen to your own songs, I'm gonna import some MGS classics!
The size of the map is the real takeaway. The fact this is just a demo leaves me in awe for TPP. Koji's got us setting market points on map. It seems he didn't lie when he called this an open-world game. Though we can't see it here I'm sure the scope of TPP will be massive (we've already seen it with the horse and desert).
Is this worth the money? I'll need to finish it and see what the side-ops look like. What I can say for sure is that it's worth a play.

I reckon it looks pretty darn good considering the age of the PS3 hardware, but yes, it's obvious it was made first with high spec machines and then ported down.
Also guys, L2/R2 triggers on the Dualshock 4 don't work.
Yes I should've added that! It is taxing this thing to its limit for sure. I still can't believe the size of this map relative to what we're used to in Metal Gear games.
WHAT ABOUT FORKLIFT?

You the one who asks about forklift every time? Someone should Photoshop small forklift on your avatar (it can go straight to that shield)

This is my most anticipated game of the year. I saw someone streaming this last night on ps4. I was so jealous. Kept opening and closing the stream to avoid spoilers and catch some gameplay. I think ninjas took it down.

Epic title! Gaben part is brilliant. Best OT in a while
That's wrong. Plenty of people told Kojima. Which is why MGS 4 turned into complete shit. Because people told Kojima.
Kojima, who are teh patriotz?
Kojima, y is Raiden teh gay?
Kojima, what's the science behind Liquid's arm?
Kojima, why is the vamp walking on water?
Kojima, dis ending is sux and depressive, we want it changed because reasons and we're making the game.
Kojima got his Kojimmies rustled.

Isn't he like the premier voice actor for Kickstarter games now? I know his name is attached to at least 3. I feel like his career from now in is just gonna be kickstarters and Kojima saltiness.

You magnificent bastard. OP is Kojima worthy.
Looks like a banned gif to me.
Oh, he is shit.
That's not my point. My point is that he's more than willing to listen to people.
Well, that works.

Great work OP !
To ease the pain of waiting I recommend this movies:
The Wild Geese
and
The Dogs of War
They are addressing the same themes found in MGSW and probably also in MGS V like an army without a country, cold war era 70s&80s, base infiltrations, rescuing POWs, torture...

Unlocking Peace Walker's real ending is still one of the most bizarrely convoluted things in mainstream gaming. All those retrievals and parts ;-;

Laughed when I saw the title. Can't wait to play the crap out of this next week.
Your mouth is too high!
I don't know about that. I doubt Kojima would really do things he doesn't want to do, and there's a certain George Lucas kind of "we'll obviously do it my way as my ideas naturally are the best" flair to his writing style and attitude (and like with George Lucas, I'm not sure you can simply blame the yes men around him).
