Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes Announced, Running on Fox Engine

At the Metal Gear Solid 25th Anniversary event in Japan today, Konami and Kojima Productions offered the first glimpse of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes the new entry of the popular franchise, unlike the previous installments, this game is said to be an open-world and features realtime cut-scenes and of course running on Kojima’s new Fox Engine.

No filming was allowed to show the 20 minute demo of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, but according to GameSpot the gameplay demo took place in a remote, rainy military base.

“The demo gave out a sandbox open-world vibe; the military base itself felt expansive and huge, and Snake can summon a helicopter to bring him around as well as drive a jeep to go from point A to B. Kojima did state that he wishes to add a new spin to the stealth genre; even when you’re discovered, you can use all the means and tools to escape rather than see a “game over” screen. “

Given the Militaires Sans Frontières logo on Snake’s suit we assume this is Big Boss (Naked Snake) and this is another Shadow Moses entry.

Also revealed today that a Metal Gear Solid movie is also in the works, courtesy of Sony and Columbia Pictures.
