Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes has many open worlds

During a special stage event at the Tokyo Game Show today, Kojima Productions shared new details on Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes.



Here’s the breakdown:

• Loading is always done in the background, so it’s basically an open world where loading screens do not exist.
• The exception to this is when you travel by helicopter—there a loading screen will be inserted.
• There will be many Grand Theft Auto-style open worlds, and these are connected by helicopter.
• The video that has been released is of the prologue stage, so it’s a small open world. There are bigger ones.
• The game has a concept of time, so it varies from morning to afternoon, and then to night in real time. [This could mean "game time," I'm not sure.]
• Before using the FOX Engine on other titles going forward, they want to create the standard with open worlds.

Might as well predict it now. Greatest game of all time.

Ralph and the Nascar woman? Or Mii's?

Ralph. I don't think any gamers give a rat's ass about Danica Patrick. I'm not entirely sure why anyone cares about her really.

Finally got my shit....fuckin' a, now I'll be up until 8am setting it all up.

If I do get it, it'll be tomorrow,  but money is tight.   I have some shops and a flea market I want to check out in the morning that may have a cheaper unopened game.  If its out of my price range, I'll wait till Tuesday when I get paid.  The last week before pay day always sucks.

Just lemme know if / when you get it, I'd love to play co-op with you!

Shouldn't take quite that long!

Have fun.

Recent rumour about the Wii U GPU that it's based on the AMD E6760 which is better than the HD 4850 (2008 tech) at a lower power efficiency, has a DX11 featureset too. It was said that Nintendo told devs that the final GPU would be as powerful as the HD 4850 as a point of reference but that changed.

Whats also awesome about the E6760 is it has nearly all 2012 bells and whistles. Its a 2011 tech gpu. Thats very important for downports.

It's a Northern Islands GPU  which is 2 generations ahead of what we thought is in the Wii U which coincides with what Cinemablend were saying 3 days ago about it with the Unity story.

Posting from the new computer?

God no..I'm having major problems here.

I have all the components where they are supposed to be, but the wiring is proving to be much harder than I thought it would be. I've been up all night since I didn't get to start it until very late also.

I seem to be missing wires that I think I need, and other wires I have seem to have nowhere to go. I really didn't think this would be so tough, but the differences between intel/nvidia and amd/ati are just enough to be a hassle.

I kind of bit off more than I could chew with the dual drives and the liquid cooler (that I can't use because it doesn't fit...wtf) and its added up a a mess. I haven't tried to turn it on yet, but I know its going to be fucked up so I don't even want to. Right now I'm in the process of downloading all my shit to an external HDD...and it says iTunes will take an hour.

Maybe you should take all this stuff to a shop and get them to do it?

I will if it comes to that....if I can't figure it out I'm hoping one of my friends can help me out. He's usually good with this shit.
