Here’s 14 Massive/Pretty/Baffling Minutes of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes
When Hideo Kojima releases a Metal Gear Solid preview, he does not fuck around; here’s a 14-minute clip of the recently announced Ground Zeroes, including a lengthy cinematic which seemlessly transitions into a bit of gameplay. A few thoughts: 1) This game is pretty. 2) The game field is massive. 3) The gameplay still looks exactly like every other MGS game, although this is way too small a sample to truly know for sure. 4) I don’t know how I feel about the ability to call a helicopter whenever you want. Apparently you have to travel to different countries and such — I like that — but it just seems weird to be able to get a helicopter ride when you’re ostensibly in the middle of infiltrating an enemy camp. 5) Did that kid have a cellphone hack in his chest? Weird.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
