The saddest part about this is "minimal cutscenes and codec calls as you move."
Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes

What do people think of this release? Im not a die-hard MGS fan so perhaps its why my viewpoint is what it is. Im annoyed at Kojima/Konami about this, because to me, whatever their intentions, its hard to disagree with the payable demo crowd.
Couple of footnotes though; a) GT5 Prologue is probably the nearest previous game to this, but with its gametypes inherent replayability it gets away with it IMHO and; b) Developers are well aware of todays gamers attention span which leads to the cold harsh reality that making longer games arent an obvious, useful benefit. See CODs campaign length or ME2s completion rates...
The biggest problem for me to understand is why GZ even exists. Why put out an 8hr game for £20 when one thats '200 times bigger' is for around £50? Are we to blame for GZ existing?!? Do they think we cant wait for PP?!?
I forsee GZ and its news/reflections damaging/questioning Kojimas reputation. That dichotomy between GZ and PP is puzzling...

Sounds like they've literally turned MGS into Splinter Cell.

I am a lover of MGS, it's a fantastic game series and I am replaying it right from the start of the PS1 games again, GZ is a hard decision for me to buy, because it looks like a demo badged with a retail price, I don't like this way of thinking from devs.
Ignoring all the collectibles because I'd wager the vast majority of people are going to play the main mission, and then go ahead and sell it because they have experienced the core game.
Capcom have done this with Dead rising, that however was a $10 digital only title, this is being marketed as something else entirely and I do wonder if Joe public fully understand what they are getting with this game.
Indeed I really enjoyed those
I'm passing on this till summer as I want to play on ps4 and after exams
Can anyone tell me their opinions on kiefer /link some non spoilerish footage of him talking, miss hayter but have faith kiefer can do it

Someone did a speed run through the game and it took under an hour.

It was 10 minutes lol, was with all cut scenes skipped though.
My friend's PS4 copy arrived from Asda today. Quite envious, considering ParcelForce couldn't even be bothered to deliver my PS4 today. Ah well.
Must admit, this is probably the least excited I've been about an MGS title but I think that's mostly due to apprehension. Still, looking forward to playing it.

that is pathetic.
keeps pre order.

lol thats a speed run I doubt you would be able to complete the game that fast first time playing it.
Each to their own. I just can't justify spending £20 on a game that could potentially only last an hour. I won't re-play it for trophies or collectables so it just isn't worth it for me.
I'll put the £20 towards Second Son instead.

I speed ran MGS4 on hardest difficulty in just over an hour. And that game was 20+ hours on my first play through. So that 10 minute speedrun doesn't mean much.
