‘METAL GEAR SOLID: GROUND ZEROES’ announced. Sexy Snake is back, yo!

People attending the Metal Gear 25th anniversary event were lucky enough to catch a glimpse at the next MGS jam. The game is titled Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, and if the teaser footage is any indication, we’re getting sexy Snake back. I’m pumped. Don’t get me wrong, having Snake as an old wizened piece of shit in MGs4 made sense thematically. Emotionally, it was a drag carrying his old fart balls around.

Joystiq:

Attendees of this evening’s Metal Gear 25th anniversary event in Japan are taking to Twitter with commentary on “Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes,”which appears to be a brand new stealth game starring the ever-stalwart Snake.

The demo reportedly showed Snake infiltrating a rain-drenched compound, avoiding search lights, offing a guard, driving a jeep and then summoning a helicopter in a seamless, open-world environment. The description meshes with designer Hideo Kojima’s cryptic commentary on “Project Ogre,” which he described as “very free.”

We can likely expect a more formal demonstration and less secretive video from Kojima Productions in the near future. For now, the Twitter consensus paints the Fox Engine, which powered the demo of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, as something deserving of your oohs and aahs.
