You know

I'd like to see what media coverage in the Metal Gear world is like.

We see a little bit of the crazy TV shows they have at the beginning of MGS4 but I'd like to see news anchors all posted along New York harbor reporting nothing new about the Big Shell situation when HEY THERE'S A HARRIER FIRING THERE, THERE'S A GUY SHOOTING AT IT, HOLY SHIT A METAL GEAR JUST EMERGED FROM THE WATER AND GRABBED THE HARRIER

and then live news coverage of the Big Shell collapsing, Arsenal emerging, and proceeding to level half of Manhattan clean off.

Oh yeah and footage of that one guy actually destroying 20 Metal Gears right there on foot and hey is that the former President fighting this guy with a fucking sword now?

But all the footage gets deleted off the internet because magic.

The patriots would have neveret any of that information out

Except that's live coverage that starts airing before GW is active and yeah I know.

They can't possibly cover up the fact that most of New York is gone now though.

Speed Racer

GW is primarily concerned with the internet

The patriots have been controlling traditional news media for decades

the forward-facing end of every new metal gear is always super serious and gritty

they hide the goofy shit other than an occasional flash of it now and then

as DARK AND GRITTY as phantom pain will ostensibly be i guarantee there will be a minimum of one (1) pooping man

SimBen

The darkest MGS so far was MGS3.

It had a guy whose power was bees.

And Snake inflatable dolls that can push enemies off cliffs

Ground Zeroes has claimed that title and then some.

Yeah I realized

(haven't played it yet)

Speed Racer

Kojima held for a looooooong time that there wouldn't be any cardboard boxes in 4 and that the cartoon exclamation and question marks were being removed because they didn't fit the serious tone of the game

And then

Speed Racer

Even in mgsv he said the cardboard boxes would show up as a side thing or an Easter egg at best

And then it turns out there's a bajillion bugs bunny esque moves you can pull with the box now

Inquisitor

I mean we already know the tone in phantom pain will be lighter than in ground zeroes at some times because the box is back and you can like, shoot out from it along the ground into a slide.

I think MGS4 was trying to be pretty dark but it was mostly just baffling

THESPOOKY

Ground Zeroes on PC is gorgeous

It also runs exceptionally well

I am convinced, Fox Engine

I for one loved the marketing shift from fellating a loaded gun to EVIL IS POWERFUL BUT COURAGE IS SOLID

i kinda liked how much they played up the snake killing himself thing considering that he doesn't end up doing it

-Tal

they had to proliferate MEME so it could be trumped by SENSE

Holy shit Ground Zeroes looks AMAZING on pc and runs fantastic even on a 660 with an i5. Those specs they put out were way off base.

Death of Rats

Fine I bought Ground Zeros for $6 on Xbox One. You win.

SirToasty

I'm probably going to buy both Revengance and Ground Zeroes now even though my laptop will not be able to run them.

E: Forget probably. Just did.

urgh

see now that you said this I am debating picking this game up even though (i'm pretty sure?) my laptop falls short of the necessary minimum specs

kind of wish people would go back to putting demos on steam, those were really helpful

Professor Snugglesworth

How does it compare to the PS4 version, for those that have played both?
