What Ground Zeroes is could bluntly be described as the most exciting MGS game in years.

A little out of no where comes the announcement from Kojima himself of MGS: Ground Zeroes. So what is it? Firstly, it is not Project Ogre, the mysterious game Konami has been working on for a while that we still no zero about, that’s still a whole nother thing. What Ground Zeroes is could bluntly be described as the most exciting MGS game in years.
Firstly it’s an open world game with a whole playable interactive world available from the get go. It’s also a game starring the beloved king of mulleted heroes Snake (in this case Naked Snake/Big Boss). It’s ALSO a prequel to Metal Gear Solid 5 which is totally getting made right now. Despite being a prequel to the assumedly future set MGS 5, the game is also a direct sequel, as in beginning in the moments following, the conclusion of the PSP game MGS Peace Walker. While hardcore MGS fans will have no trouble picking up the pieces, console only fans may require something of a primer to get up to speed. It’s strongly suggested you buy a copy of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection immediately and do some serious research.
It’s also coming this generation to both the Xbox 360 and PS3 and runs on Konami’s new super cool proprietary Fox Engine software. Also it looks absolutely mother flipping radical. I haven’t been this excited for an Metal Gear game since MGS2.
In other MGS news Hideo Kojima expressed a very positive reaction to how Platinum Studios have handled the spin off game MGS Revengeance starring Raiden and his feminine thighs. He also mentioned that he wanted to collaborate with Platinum Studios again to possibly make a game about The Boss and her exploits before she met Naked Snake/Big Boss in the 70’s. Given her character has been one of the best features of the MGS series for far and she was involved with almost every major military operation from World War 2 onwards: I foresee a pretty fantastic game if this comes to pass.
