Stay tuned here, Kojima will show a 30 minutes gameplay video (the demo from E3).
Demo is streaming now.
I don't like any of the new Metal Gear games, the series has becoming really "Westernized" since MGS4 (but Snake Eater also had it), MGS 1-2 had that weird Japanese flavor in the weirdness of certain things (Grey Fox, FOXDIE, FOXHOUND, the Patriots, just the mystery that surrounded everything like the Zanzibar backstory, how the Codec system was Kojima's take on Visual novel style dialogue) which the series doesn't have anymore.

I see MGS2 as the climax of the series really, Kojima's style in the game epitomized taking the best cinematic techniques of Hollywood production but with Japanese weirdness in the story. MGS4 was just pure Hollywood and just all around terrible.

Replacing Hayter with Sutherland was the final nail in the coffin, MGS is now a dudebro American franchise.

Questions about Ground Zeroes:

Did they remove the first person aiming for Guns?
How Stealthy is this game? Do they still factor Camoflauge or even lighting ala Splinter Cell and Thief?

Yes, first person view while aiming is still here. Camouflage feature isn't in the game anymore, at least not in GZ.
Yes, you can destroy pretty much every light you see :)

Also now on USA PSN there's a very good offer: both Ground Zeroes plus Peace Walker, in a bundle, for 20$.

Peace Walker is a MUST, very good game and you NEED to play it to enjoy GZ and MGS5 in the future.

Already have Peace Walker on the HD collection hell I techically have all the main games in the series.

Even Portable Ops for PSP and Twin Snakes for Gamecube.
I think the stealth aspect has been degrading ever since MGS1 as compared to hardcore stealth games. It just seems like a TPS now in MGS4 and GZ.

Try to remove the slowmotion effect, and play on Hard :)
I don't have it. But I'm a huge fan of the music and the saga. :D

comparing mgs1 to mgs3, i think mgs3 is a huge improvement.

Well, at this point I don't know anymore if they will release PP for old gen consolle. I mean, look at those HD remake from PS3, too many titles are being releaed again on PS4. So maybe, if the installed base would increase, they just throw the game on next gen consolle only.

I followed the series since Day 1 when MGS1 relased on PS1. And was entranced by the lore.

There is a reason Metal Gear Solid was a classic. It was the first console game to tell quite an Mature Story. Nuclear Holocaust, Terrorisim, The themes of War, etc. The Villains all had deep backstories. Psycho Mantis, Sniper Wolf, Vulcan Raven. The lot.
They should release on PC. Kojima said he'd do it if people wanted, and no-one not wants it. Release a whole re-remastered collection before he moves on as he said he'd like to do. Leave the whole console sickness behind.

A piece of art should not be limited only for a particular group. We have books in Braille, in audio, we have written subtitles and people who explain the rythem of songs. Then why limit a saga as deep and longs as MGS only to people who buy the overpriced un-populated (with games) consoles that do zero justice to the graphical innovation?

yeah i'm worried too this could happen, so in the next year i have to spend hopefully not more than about 300 buck just for big boss, fuck!

also they could release it just on the new gen because the old ones dont run it properly.
