Now THAT is next-gen! Kojima did not do himself any favors by not uploading the video in high quality like that, how it's supposed to look.
It's 4gb of the PS4, and 2gb on the PS3/360, so I assume it will be in that ballpark, can't find a definite answer though

Phew. Was worried it would be another 20GB install. 4.5 isn't much, I can spare that space. Thanks man. Will go to Bestbuy in a few hours to pick this up.

But I keep seeing a few here in Gaf who have said that the game looks underwhelming graphically?

Been playing for a bit and I'm really enjoying my time testing out the new engine and exploring. I can see myself getting the twenty dollars I spent out of this.

Mark me off as someone else who was underwhelmed by the graphics. Maybe PC gaming has spoiled me, but the game really doesn't look that good to me.
Yeah I would have loved more randomly generated VR type missions. The game is ridiculously fun, I just wish there was more missions.
I haven't played the game yet so I can't really say, but I'm sure that if you've liked what we've seen from images and clips, you'll probably be satisfied when its running on your tv at home. I've learned to never listen to the internet when it comes to graphics, since most of the loudest people are the ones that expect everything to look and run like it would on a super high end pc.
The PS3 has definite problems with frame rate drop. It's actually bothering me quite a bit. Been playing on PC too much lately. I may even pick it up again when I eventually get a PS4 just to see it in a better light.
Just like in MGS4 Kojima sacrificed frame rate for pretty graphics at times.
Other than that , the game is ballin' so far.

If you alarm the whole base, yes. There's only a couple of areas they will use to exit though, and the few times I've been found I was able to easily catch and kill the last guy. There's no reason to fail at killing at least one marine easily, as he basically travels right to your position in the beginning.

The graphics definitely were underwhelming - although I am not sure what I expected on ps3. The framerate really chugged, enough so that it skipped and i missed a headshot from about 10m away with the tranquilizer. During the cutscenes there are rare moments where it looks like a film. Kojima and co really knocked it out of the park during the
cutscene.
But any conversations happening in the helicopter were SO BAD. SO BAD.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
No doubt, been in the infamous thread today, now everything looks underwhelming.
But once you start playing( in my experience with pastgen while playing nextgen too) you start appreciating then more.
Myself I think it looks great.

Haha,
dialogue changes depending on how well you did on the side op.
Kojima's
dont you think thats partially the voice director's fault though too?
is it still fucking kris zimmerman? because she hasn't gotten a good performance out of hayter since mgs2(or really, mgs1)

It is absolutely a demo, a fairly meaty one, but yup, that's what it feels like. Just about worth the $20 I'd say. A compliment, I guess.
Yeah it's even more offputting than I expected it to be.
"Kept you waiting huh?"
What? No? You just arrived for the first time, wasn't particularly waiting for you?
Maybe you'll grow used to it, but at least initially it just doesn't feel right at all.
Hearing Christopher Randolph play another character with the Otacon voice was also pretty weird.
If they wanted a different voice for Big Boss they should've replaced Hayter in MGS3. After it's established that Big Boss both looks and sounds like Snake it's kind of too late to change any of that.
I don't particularly care about Sutherland being a better actor. MGS has always been about over the top theatrics and shenanigans. Basically I'm not convinced that it's necessary, in my mind Hayter's always been a good fit (only played MGS1-3) and I value the consistency of the character higher than whatever Sutherland is able to improve upon. MGSV looks to be a rougher experience than usual, which I assume is why Kojima and friends felt this change was necessary, but come on Kojima, we know you and Metal Gear. Feckin horse stealth, burning skywhales and Skull Face are already things. And it doesn't make sense to swap out Hayter for that reason while keeping Randolph.

I know it's his father, but you don't find that out until the credits. Even if I'd known, it's still really weird to sound exactly like your father.
He is capable of talking like a more normal person, voice director just needs to smack him on the top of the head if he gurgles too much porridge during takes.

I share your pain.

It was about as long as I expected, but the size of the area and level design and the multitude of ways you can go about getting through it make it worthwhile. Not to mention the extra stuff you unlock afterwards. I finished it earlier and I already want to go through it again.

The game is in my city but not out for delivery. Estimated date is still today. They have four hours.
Why would Zimmerman have issues with Hayter and none of the other cast members? Everybody else sounded fine in PW, except Hayter.
It's clear that MGS1 was a fluke for Hayter, because it's been severe diminishing returns ever since.
What console did you play on?
huh? you're missing the point
the voice director DIRECTS The voice actors...he's been doing that bullshit voice for a long time now (basically everything post mgs2). every single take of every single line of dialog zimmerman said to herself "ok, thats good"
if she didnt think he was doing a good job she would make him redo it with less bullshit groaning
obviously they wanted it that way
the more i think about it the more i blame her and not hayter(although hayter should have the common sense to know he sounds nothing like he did in mgs1)
This happened to me on my first playthrough.
I was just trying to get the controls down and then I WAS SO CONFUSED
Yeah, it took me a bit to get used to the fact that enemies can spot you 40 yards away from the corner of their eye. Not the typical MGS field of vision.
If david hayter never did any voice acting and in 2014 was offered to lend his voice as a spy in a AAA game, I think most everyone would agree that he's not very good. A lot of people are just subject to their own bias since they love the original games with hayter. I think if players looked at it more critically and disregard nostalgia and sentiment they would agree that hayter isn't a good va. He was great in mgs1 though. Keifers performance hasn't been remarkable but at least he's not remarkable for being a terrible try hard like hayter. His voice sounds more natural and I could see keifer probably be better for mocap/voice acting purposes. Guess we'll have to wait and see with tpp.
it has been awhile when did that change.. cool. for next time.

Some part of my brain will always need to take a moment to adjust to the normal American X/O layout in recent MGS games.

User created challenges, scavenger hunts, assassination or sabotage missions would put serious meat on this game's bones.
What a seriously missed opportunity. I doubt anybody would question the cost or the replayability, if only...

Well I finished the main story mission and now have 9% complete on the title screen. Time to do the side ops.

quoting myself, does the digital release have any less content than the retail version?
Less than 5 hours.

They really shouldn't have shown the entire opening cutscene before launch.
