Metal Gear Solid 5 dev defends Ground Zeroes length/Game looks better on PS4
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/metal-gear-solid-5-dev-defends-ground-zeroes-length/1100-6417538/
"Are Journey and Dear Esther long?" Kojima Productions' Jordan Amaro asks.
The length of a game isn't necessarily associated with its quality. That's the message Kojima Productions designer Jordan Amaro has for fans up in arms about the recent news that you might be able to complete Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes in just one sitting.
"Are Journey and Dear Esther long? [Voltaire's 18th-century writing Candide] is like a hundred pages at most," Amaro said. "Yet they are masterpieces of video game and literature. This smearing will not stain and affect what we're aiming to achieve with MGS, the game industry in Japan, or video games as a whole."
Journey and Dear Esther might not be long games, but they sell for $15 and $10, respectively. That's below what Konami is charging for Ground Zeroes, which ranges from $20-$40 depending on platform and delivery choice.
"I want people to celebrate the new MGS like we used to. I'm not dismissing their concerns. But this [issue surrounding the game's length] has been trumped-up," Amaro said.
The game is a prequel to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, which is said to be "hundreds of times larger" than Ground Zeroes. Konami hasn't set a release date for that game yet.
The length of Ground Zeroes isn't the only part of the game drawing heated debate. It's also been revealed that the PlayStation 4 version of the game looks "slightly better" than the Xbox One iteration, a point that Metal Gear Solid series creator Hideo Kojima reportedly agrees with.
Konami has yet to confirm whether or not there is a resolution or frame rate difference between the two next-generation versions, but it wouldn't be the first time a multiplatform game was visually preferable on Sony's console.

LOL @ 2 Hours long
-
? 60 bucks for a short game
-
It's $39.99 and that's still too much for 2 hours. Hopefully this ? gets PS Plus'ed.Peanut_205 wrote: »? 60 bucks for a short game

2 hours long huh? Look like they bout to nickel and dime mfers for content.
-
They'll eventually package it with The Phantom Pain. Just wait till then. PS3 and 360 owners lost though. How you going to give them the prelude but not the main thing? what a tease.
-
Kojima turning into a japanese jew. Dude really doesn't want to be making these games anymore lol. Still this would make for a nice birthday present so I ain't complaining.
-
So basically a $15 DLC for $40...
-
Yea sounds like a free ps plus download

-

my favorite ? has disappointed me

I'm lost .... haven't really kept up with this .....
how many games coming out? when? and which one is 2 hours? -
Ground zeros is coming out next month mar 18. Its going to be 2 hours. The phantom pain, the real game and not the over hyped ? demo is coming out either next year or the year after smh.
I really think Kojima wanted to do this so no one will want him to metal gear anymore. Which sucks because I want metal gear one and two in at least 3D graphics not the 8 bit versions -

Yeah....I think he could update both the original metal gears.....and just make that one game....I want to see metal gear solid 1 remade too..... -
Ehhh the twin snakes is good enough imo for MGS1. What would really be interesting is if David Hayter can actually voice the MG remake and not sound like ? like in MGS peace walker.

How is he a better source than Kojima?
Kojima already said it would be longer than 2 hrs if you were to go out and complete everything...
Does not negate my feeling that I spent the the same amount of time playing The Last of Us DLC for about a 3rd of the price...
I am just going to wait for the full game and hopefully this will be bundled with it...
Basically that announcement took the wind out of the sails for me in terms of this game...
But looking forward to the actual game when it comes... -
lol. He pulled the same ? with MGS4 on the PS3. Sony marketed the game like it was going to be available at launch. 1 1/2 LATER we finally get it.

I actually meant better than game informer when it comes to metal gear news he listens to kojima's radio podcast too and gives up to date info from it. all metal gear games could be beat in 2-3 hours ive beaten mgs3 and 4 in a little under 3 hrs doing my speed runs for big boss ranks. but 30 bucks aint bad for quality gaming unlike people who pay 60 bucks + for the same rehashed games every year "cough" madden, cod. I don't know about u but I know im going to spend 30 plus hrs in this game. -
Seems expensive for a demo. I'll probably pick it up anyway.
