Metal Gear Solid 5 Release Date News: Ground Zeroes Is A ‘More Traditional Metal Gear Game,’ Developer Says

Metal Gear Solid 5 will be split into two parts, Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain,  but the game's developer says Ground Zeroes will be a "more traditional Metal Gear game.," according to  EuroGamer.com.

"Ground Zeroes is a gentle introduction to that world," Kojima says as he introduces the live demo, according to the website.

"It's sort of like a tutorial, where you can enjoy the open world on a small scale but where it's still a more traditional Metal Gear game."

Metal Gear Solid 5 has captured the attention of gamers waiting for its release date, but one analyst suggests many people have not noticed how much the series has evolved over time.

"Kojima's never been shy about communicating an affection for western games and western culture, a passion made explicit with the recent opening of a Los Angeles arm of Kojima Productions," EuroGamer.com writes.

"That new perspective and workforce brings something else, too. Metal Gear Solid 5 is shooting for global superstardom, and for its place on the main stage alongside Assassin's Creed, Grand Theft Auto and Elder Scrolls."

Metal Gear Solid 5: Phantom Pain developer Hideo Kojima revealed during an interview with Japanese site Game Watch that there will be few stops between Cutscenes and gameplay.

Similar to an open world game like GTA, Kojima hopes that there will be much more seamless transitions between story and exploration, Gameranx.com reports.

He also promised the use of weapons that match the game's era, which is around 1980, Gameranx.com also reports.

Kojima also revealed some new details which could add to the replayability of the experience as it relates to  the forma of post-mission analysis and "No Kill, No Alert" challenges, GamingBolt.com reports.
