In response to popular demand for more details regarding how day and night plays a role in stealth gameplay, Kojima Productions has created a new METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES trailer that exhibits how gameplay can deviate drastically, depending on time of day, weather and other climatic conditions.
In the previous “Day Mission” gameplay video, Big Boss embarked on a “Side Ops” mission to locate a high-value target and recover hidden intelligence. However, the daylight served as a disadvantage, and the mission ended in all-out battle and a blazing car chase. In the new “Night Mission” gameplay video, Big Boss tackles a side objective within the main “Ground Zeroes” mission using hardcore stealth, under the cloak of night, to infiltrate and extract a POW from the clandestine blacksite, “Camp Omega.”
Kojima Productions has also announced the “Jamais Vu” exclusive mission for Xbox fans. As a throwback to the 1988 Kojima-helmed, cult favorite game, “SNATCHER,” the menacing bioroid “Snatchers” are dropped into Camp Omega to kill and steal identities of everything they come in contact with. But to kill off old enemies, players need a new hero- enter Raiden, the superhuman ninja cyborg from previous METAL GEAR titles, including most recently METAL GEAR RISING REVENGANCE. This time, Raiden dispenses with his HF Blade in favor of heavy weaponry to annihilate the “Snatcher” threat.
METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES is a prologue and the first release in the METAL GEAR SOLID V Experience. METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN, which will be released after, completes the fifth chapter in the METAL GEAR SOLID franchise. Anchored in a deep story mode involving tactical espionage and double crossing, METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES also expands into numerous “Side Ops” missions that branch off the story campaign and allows players to tackle new objectives independent of the main game.
