Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes Trailer Preview

Ok so last night Konami released the first trailer of Ground Zeroes at PAX 2012 and graphics wise its jaw dropping. So what did the trailer show us? Well at first we open up with a cut scene which sets the tone of what we can expect. The location is set in a prison camp called Camp Omega where we see a group of soldiers  walking in.

 As they walk in we get a glimpse of the camp we can see that guard dogs will make a return and prisoners tied up and held at gun point maybe ready to be executed. As we return to the soldiers they a heading towards a cage where a little kid known as Chico is being held.

 Branded as a traitor by the leader of the soldier, Chico is given a tape recorder  by the leader saying that he had earned it. By the sound of it the kid made a deal and turned someone over who was later tortured and killed. could this kid be Jack the Ripper AKA Raiden? only time will tell.

After a short drive to the helipads we learn that Paz (Peacewalker) is still alive. As the leader makes his way to the helicopter we get a close up of him, his face is badly scarred burn scars maybe? perhaps this could be Colonel Volgin?? or someone new??

From "FOX" two phantoms were born.

This could mean two things.

• 1. Big Boss and Major Zeroes Fallout and the raise of The Patriots 
• 2. The birth of Solid Snake and Liquid Snake.

One thing to clean up, this isn't Solid Snake from MGS1,2 and 4. It's Naked Snake from MGS 3 Snake eater and Peacewalker. As you can tell from the trailer some time has pasted from the events of MGS 3 and Peacewalker.

As the intro ends we see the game play kick in real time and we immediately see how the stealth mechanics works as snake smoothly finds cover behind a rock and being able to use his scope from cover.

Hideo Kojima Also announced that Ground Zeroes would be an open world game, so walking around might just take you a bit to long get to places so driving vehicles has being introduced into the Metal Gear Solid series for the first time. You can also place flares down to call in your very own helicopter which can offer covering fire or offer you transport between countries.

So all in all Ground Zeroes looks like a very promising games visual the graphics are amazing and with the weather it just adds to the atmosphere game. Konami have truly pushed the Playstation 3 to it limits. 

The full trailer can be viewed here.
