Konami and Kojima Productions Release New Extended Gameplay Video and PlayStation� system Exclusive Content

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., today uncovered new details for METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES. Coming on the heels of the launch of Sony Computer Entertainment America’s PlayStation�4 computer entertainment system, Hideo Kojima, creator of the METAL GEAR SOLID series, and head of Kojima Productions, debuted new content for METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES.

In the 12-minute extended gameplay video, captured from the PlayStation�4 system, Mr. Kojima showcased a “Side Ops” day mission in which Big Boss must use stealth tactics and sophisticated cover techniques to retrieve key intelligence from a double agent. New gameplay mechanics, time of day, weather conditions, refined AI and pristine graphics showcase the innovative gameplay design and the power of the FOX Engine and the PlayStation�4 system.

PlayStation� system users will also be thrilled to discover Mr. Kojima announced METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES will feature an exclusive mission for the PlayStation�3 computer entertainment system and PlayStation�4 system. The “throwback” mission titled “D�j� Vu,” recreates a mission originally featured in the original METAL GEAR SOLID game AND lets users play as Solid Snake (in all of his low-polygon, pixelated glory) in the high definition Ground Zeroes universe.

METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES is the prologue and the first encounter in the METAL GEAR SOLID V Experience. The prologue primes gamers for the full story and experience in the complete fifth installment of the METAL GEAR SOLID franchise, METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN, which will be released at a future date. Anchored in a deep story mode involving tyranny, espionage and deception, METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES also expands into numerous “Side Ops” missions that branch off the story campaign and allows players to tackle new objectives independent of the main story.

METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES will be released in Spring 2014 on PlayStation�3and PlayStation�4 systems, as well as the Xbox 360 and Xbox One systems. The game will be available in retail stores nationwide on current generation systems for the MSRP of $29.99 or via download for $19.99.

Interview with Killer Instinct, Wolfenstein: The New Order Composer Mick Gordon

KI-MickGordon-01

UUULLTRRAAAAAAAAA COOOOOOMMBBBOOOOOO! Yes, I’ve used that half to death… actually most would argue I’ve bludgeoned it to a pulp. But this has been 17 years in the making! Killer Instinct is finally only a week away from release, and today I got to interview the extremely generous and talented fellow Aussie, Mick Gordon, composer for not only the Xbox One fighter, but the next Wolfenstein: The New Order and a fantastic-looking horror-exploration title called Routine, developed by indie team Lunar Software. After his stellar PAX Australia panel, we just had to talk to him further.

It’s a long interview at over 90 minutes, as we covered the musical design and production processes behind all three games’ soundtracks and scores, although we notably go in-depth on every revealed Killer Instinct character’s theme. We also touch upon the possibility of a new Killer Cuts album release, how Mick failed miserably at his first attempt to impress Double Helix and more. For those of you who want to specifically hear the Wolfenstein: The New Order part, jump ahead to around the 74 min 37 second mark. For those particularly interested in Routine, skip to the 83 min 30 second mark. Just hit play below and enjoy.

The game costs $29.99 and takes up a fair bit of space on the SD card, so an upgraded SD card may be needed to download the title. To commemorate the game’s launch XSEED has released a new trailer for the game, which can be found below, focusing on Hebijo Academy’s side of the story.
