NEWS: MGS V Ground Zeroes - Classic Snake Available As Playstation Exclusive

The PlayStation versions of MGS V Ground Zeroes will contain exclusive content, allowing players to play as Solid Snake from MGS1.


At the PS4 launch event on Spike TV, Konami revealed exclusive content only available on the PS3/4 versions of the game; Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeroes. This included a 'Déjà Vu' mission, which according to Hideo Kojima, should leave players questioning if anything has really changed in the last 16 years. 

The video shows a wounded Big Boss taking out various enemies at the enemy base, sneaking around - the usual MGS stuff. It's then we see glimpses of the 'classic' Snake originating from the 1998 phenomenon; Metal Gear Solid.
The Solid Snake character model from MGS1 - feel old yet?

We see classic Snake eventually make his way to a cage which contains a man who highly resembles the Darpa Chief - an iconic character in the series. The blurb on the video talks about how the series "set new standards in videogame storytelling", as well as the limitations of the graphics back when Metal Gear Solid was making its release - "In an age when graphics were limited to blocky pixelated polygons."

Releasing in spring 2014, MGS V Ground Zeroes will officially be the prologue to MGS V The Phantom Pain, also released around the same time.
