I don't know man, Kaz's delivery is still the same and it works out perfectly. Hayter would have been fine.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes |OT| Kaz, I'm already a demo
- Thread starter BurnOutBrighter
- Start date
I don't know man, Kaz's delivery is still the same and it works out perfectly. Hayter would have been fine.
At least I got stuff for TPP.... Whenever the hell it comes out anyway. This should have been $10 max. $20 if the main mission was longer. My jaw hit the floor when I realized the credits were rolling. I thought it was one of those delayed introduction things.
Was some good Metal Gear though. Don't know if I like Keifer yet. Need to hear more.

How do I get the Solid Snake and Cyborg Ninja skins? I started Deja Vu and it flashed it a few times with no change in the end.
Also what with this "test" I keep hearing about?

Isn't that slow-mo reflex mode there so you can take down whoever spots you before they can notify others? Doesn't that work?
Or do you fail these missions if God knows you broke stealth?

Working through MGS4 again right now and while I agree, how much of this is down to shitty VA direction, you know?
Kaz rarely had serious moments in Peace Walker. In Ground Zeroes his voice actor nails what Miller would say and feel given the situation. Miller's voice actor is better than Hayter in my opinion.

The slow-mo thing doesn't save you 100% of the time, especially if the enemy spots you from really far away and you currently have the tranq pistol equipped. That weapon has shitty ass range and you need to land a perfect headshot for it to drop an enemy immediately. As far as I can tell there's no way to quickly switch to one of your other weapons, Snake is moving in slo-mo too.

Finished the story portion. Best level design since MGS2 and the Grosnys Grad portion of MGS3. Sutherland was great
Anyone else experiencing short locks with the PS3 digital version? The game even hard locked on me at one point and I had to hard reset the console.
It uses the type of contextual thing like in Peace Walker, so it's extremely easy to do.
Atkins was the true star

Kaz's delivery sounds similar to Sutherland's, which isn't anything like Hayter's.
Yeah, I think it's partly that. With MGS1 he had a native speaker vocal director. And dialogue that wasn't translated directly from Japanese.
Here's the strange thing. He seems capable of recapturing older performances, but his most recent performance in the role of Snake (the MGS1 and MGS2 digital comic that released in 2013) goes all groany.
It's called acting.

Ahh OK, recovering from broken stealth is possible, but you have to plan for it and play extra careful. That seems about right for a stealth-only mission.
Was worried it was one of those insta-fail as soon as human eyes fall on you - that right there would be heinous design. I love hardcore stealth games tho.
This game does seem like it needed many more side missions.

My initial thoughts...
+ Hi-res MGS finally
+ The squarish/locked axis movement is gone, woohoo! And you move well!
+ Gunplay feels really smooth, less robotic than previously
+ It's Metal Gear, just being in the world with the series' story-telling and set pieces etc is great
- This is clearly a multi-platform, multi-gen game. It's definitely not a looker (nor using anything near close to what the PS4 is capable of...)
- In removing the robotic, locked cover animations, backing up against walls and accidently moving too far (into enemy view) may be a big problem
- Not feeling Kiefer at all, no grit to his voice (Skull Face voice actor is terrible also)
- Seemingly deliberate restrictions on screenshots: You get to close to Snake's face and it blurs, you rotate the camera to get a look at him and he rotates his head in the opposite direction
- Jaggies/Lack of AA
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to be locked to the edge of a wall? Or is it designed so that you have to make up your own mind and be careful not to creep to far into view?

The MGS1 demo was the first section of the full game. It was free, included on the monthly CD-ROM that came with every issue of Official Playstation Magazine. The CD always had a bunch of playable demos on it, and trailers, etc. Free.
The MGS2 demo was the first section of the game on a bonus disc that came bundled with Zone of the Enders. ZoE was regularly priced, so again it was free.
MGS3 had no demo.
The MGS4 demo was the first chapter of the full game. It was free on PSN. It wasn't released until the full game was out.
MGSV GZ was the first section MGSV, a prologue. But KP decided to break it off and release it stand alone. The only thing that makes it different from the previous MGS demos is that it isn't free and it doesn't come bundled with anything else. That's the only distinction. If it's not a demo, then neither were the others.

Yea, wtf happened. I was expecting to play today, turns out it just shipped and will be here Thursday. I think I'm going buy it somewhere else.
Actually it did. There was one released in Official Playstation Magazine I think.
Here's the thing, a demo is a section of a game. When we play the TPP, this wont be there. All of those examples you gave, when i played the full game I would have to play the demo section too, this wont be the case.

Gotta wait till Thursday, Just watched Gamersydes footage of the intro on PS4, Wow big difference from the original trailer
I'd did lol though as someone said the graphics had been downgraded, I mean seriously? It undeniable how much better it looks and it looked good beforehand.

There was a MGS3 demo. Official Playstation Magazine in late summer/early fall 2004 put MGS3 on one of their demo discs. Had Japanese voice acting and was the virtuous mission.

You don't fail a mission as soon as your spotted, and you can use your main rifle with the suppressor to take down enemies if you don't care about killing. Use the D pad to quick change your weapons and items.

Shit, that's right, I can't believe I forgot about that. I remember driving from newsstand to newsstand all over Studio City/NoHo/Burbank until I finally found it. I remember you couldn't invert the aiming camera, which pissed me off. And again it was the first section of the game.
Doesn't matter, there's no law that says a demo has to also appear in the finished game. It's rare, but it happens. Marathon 2 is one example, the demo was unique content not in the final game.
And the only reason GZ won't reappear in the final game is that if it did, KP/Konami would have a much much harder time justifying what they've done here.

been playing 3 hours so far, 20% complete.
played through Ground Zeroes on normal and hard. then a few bonus missions.
so far so good! loved the super grimdark story the game sets up
gunplay, movement and insta-codec calling Miller about all things is a-m-a-z-i-n-g and finally doesnt stop the gameplay.
the bonus missions keep things interesting as time of day, weather, guards and security cameras are in new positions.

Yeah, it adds context to different parts of the main narrative.
Wait till you listen to the unsettling ones... if you haven't already.

You definitely fail the one where you have to hunt the two marines. They flee the base very quickly after you're spotted.
In the main mission? how long do you have to do that to trigger the cutscene.

Did you try searching for big ass images of the MSF logo and then running it through some filters?
Yeah I'm in the main mission. Do it a lot from left to right.
This game is a lot of fun, it isn't worth 30 or 20 bucks though.
I might not have bought it if I hadn't kept seeing that damn ground zeroes spoiler thread pop up. I was thinking that shit was gonna get real, and that the ending to it would truly be shocking. There's really nothing surprising that we haven't already seen in the trailers. I'm glad I aint pay 30 bone for this. Kinda wish I waited for the phantom pain to drop so I can go into the game fresh. Now I can only take solace in knowing kojima plans to reward those who purchased gz when mgsv drops. I'm not expecting much though.

Just got home and popped it in. I got the disc version and I'm amazed to see that there's an install when you first start the game. Kinda lame.

Ugh, almost had a perfect GZ run but got spotted at the very end because of new enemy spawns at the extraction zone, and I was all out of tranqs.
Still got a S though.

From gamersdye: MGS: Ground Zeroes PS4 intro video (no spoileers it's same as the E3 trailer)
http://www.gamersyde.com/news_mgs_ground_zeroes_ps4_intro_video-15117_en.html
That quality, I can't even tell it's on a console. LOOKS AMAZING.
I was tempted to watch this cause I neither have a PS4 nor Xbone, and won't be able to get one anytime soon to play this ):
Really wish this was on PC!!

Just finished getting all the XOF Badges and playing through the Jamais Vu mission, as a huge fan of both Snatcher and Metal Gear Rising there was some good stuff in there. Definitely didn't have as much effort put into it as the Deja Vu mission on the PS platforms which is a bit of a bummer, but I also didn't totally explore the whole area so there may have been some references that I haven't seen scattered around.
it's the same voice director since mgs1. i don't think pinning hayter being awful on kriss zimmerman-salter is fair.

There's a lot of black and yellow versions around if you google MSF logo.
might not be quite what you want.

So how big is the install for this game? My Xbox One HDD is dangerously close to being full, and I want to make sure I don't have to uninstall anything to play this game.

I'll probably wait to try this game when I get a PS4, ........(and when it's $15 in the used games bin)
I haven't heard enough to fully judge Kiefer yet, but all I can say is that I REALLY didn't like the way he said "Kept you waiting, huh?"

Just installed it and it shows as 4.5 gigs so tiny compared to pretty much any other game.

it ended as soon as you entered the ventilation shaft.
ended after olga fight it was a lot longer then the MGS1 demo but it wasn't far into the tanker level, it wasn't the whole tanker section, and I belive the demo was available separately in Japan with its own case and everything, not sure if they charged for it through.
it did, none English one in OPM and ended after Snake gets orders from Zero
it wasn't even half a chapter, have you played the full games?
And it came out months later too
Yes MGSV GZ is the first section and is a prologue, no it isn't anything like previous MGS demo's that ended suddenly like it's cutting to an advert.
The game is a prologue budget release
