Cool, I think I've gotten the Day One at least, considering I've had it pre-ordered digitally for a week now.

I'm physical so not sure.

Save Data upload patch is also out for PS3, need someone to check 360, PC Steam version shouldn't have a patch

Playing a lot of Ground Zeroes (PS4) to get ready. Finally extracted all the important folks. Uploaded my save to the servers. Now to think of what kind of food I should have while I play.

I still have that little pamphlet in the Ground Zeroes case that talked about free items for Phantom Pain. Anyone know what that ever amounted to?
 
The "4.5GB" is basically the launcher, the rest of the games content downloads after that

I'm so disgusted with this console. I had my system in rest mode all day, assuming the purchase would just start - but no. As soon as I turned the system back on (just now, when I got home from work), it started downloading. I probably won't be able to get it in time now.

Is there any sort of refund option for PSN games that aren't played or fully downloaded? I might as well just get the game at midnight now physically, there's no way I can download ~40-50GB in 24 hours.

It's only 27gb if that's better for you.


I don't believe there is a refund option

No refunds for digital games. Game is like 30~ish GB IIRC though

Never again. So mislead by the explanation caption under the Rest Mode option in the PS Menu - says the console can still download updates in Rest Mode, maybe because it's a full game and not an "update" it didn't trigger? No idea what happened - maybe my system actually turned off and wasn't in rest mode. Sigh.

There are unloackables for rescuing the unique soldiers in Ground Zeroes, but they are being coy about other unlocks in the Phantom Pain.

The code is for a different bonus, it triggered on my Xbox One copy, it's just additional motherbase soldiers that will join during the progression of the story.

Cool thanks! Were the precise transfers discovered? Wanna make sure having a 99% in GZ won't shaft me.

We don't know until the servers go up

Awesome OT, Dawg!

May I request a transparent red V which I can apply to my own avatar? :)

Also, due to no compound issue of no preload whatsoever and the rubbish internet in my domicile, if I start my download on Tuesday, I can start playing by Friday night.
 
Does anyone know of a safe place to get 100% save files from Ground Zeroes? Spent a lot of time with the PS4 version and don't want to repeat it again with the PC version. Have completed all of the missions except one in the latter, but I'm not grinding out percentages again and I want the bonuses.

Wildlife spoiler (I dont know if it is for someone, so I'll tag it) story:

So I was checking my iDroid riding D-horse to put a marker for a nearby sideop. Suddenly I was droped of D-horse, only to realise that I was being attacked by a bear.

It chased me, and it killed me. My only death in 5 hours of gameplay is because of a damn bear that went berserk against Big Boss.


Great OT by the way!

The same thing got me almost instantly!

Great time to tell me to try and rescue the in-game wildlife

Got my pre-load going, and I've been replaying GZ this whole weekend in anticipation of Phantom Pain. Sucks that I'll have to wait till next weekend to really dig into this.
 
Ground zeroes patch is up now on ps4

PP update is out too. However, the server still isn't. So, you can upload on the GZ side, but not recover it in PP yet.

The patch in PP changed other stuff too. Just installed it, but I already noticed that in the Development screen, weapons now denote whether or not staff can also use then in FOB mode.

That's some Red Dead Redemption shit right there.

"What day should most videogames release on?"

Obviously the most logical answer to that question was Tuesday.

HYYYYYYYYYYYYPE.

It's a miracle that I have avoided most trailers & spoilers for this game, someone on twitter spoiled the E3 trailer on me, but over the past year that's the only media I've watched for TPP.

Trailers ain't spoilers, trailers are the game before the game.

Save data transfer. Physical copies come with a code that allows you to transfer your GZ save data which unlocks stuff based on what you did in your GZ save. Digital copies will be able to transfer without the code.

I'll tag what it most likely unlocks (but not confirmed 100%):

Mother Base unlocks:

-Any prisoners extracted will be sent to become staff for your Mother Base.

-Any special VIPs like Hideo Kojima or Glaz and Palitz will be transferred to your Mother Base and become staff.

-Any special soldiers such as the bald soldier and spy in the Classified Intel side-op will transfer over and become part of your staff

Do note all of these will vary in how useful they will be for your Mother Base but Hideo Kojima will be highly useful because in Peace Walker he was part of R&D and had very high R&D stats. Which helped to allow you gain access to make powerful weapons much more quickly. I'm sure Glaz and Palitz will also be highly valued but we'll see what happens.

Skins:

The Ground Zeroes Sneaking Suit will transfer over

MGS1 Snake and MGS1 Grey Fox will transfer over which can be unlocked by completing the Deja Vu mission on Normal and Hard respectively. To unlock this mission, you must collect the 9 XOF patches in the main Ground Zeroes mission.

Raiden will transfer over (and possibly the other armor color skins such as Green, White, and Red but those are not confirmed), to get Raiden you must collect all the XOF patches in the main mission to unlock Jaimus Vu and then you have to complete Jaimus Vu on Normal and Hard respectively to unlock all of his armor colors

So, it's technically very minor stuff but some of the skins have unique attributes that will offer you new tactics to approach missions.

No to this one. There's more to it than that. You're right about the other 2 unlocks.
