Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes gameplay video is as impressive as it is in your head

Warning: Peace Walker spoilers ahoy.

Tales were told of a Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes gameplay video late last week, and Konami has since released said video for public consumption.

Of course, there's plenty of story in the debut trailer. The game appears to take place directly after Peace Walker, with Chico being held captive in Cuba. Paz also appears to have survived her final battle in Peace Walker and is in the same installation as Chico. Kaz's voice can be heard discussing the situation with Snake.

There's also a lot of rain, the ending credits music from Metal Gear Solid 4, and a strangely older version of Naked Snake, looking more like his aged Big Boss self than ever. Check out the video yourself. It's pretty cool.

	zippdementia posted September 03, 2012: So you'd have to play Peace Walker to understand what's going on in this one? Regardless, it looks like a lot of fun and possibly headed back to the stealthy roots of the series, though there's too little gameplay to really tell. At least doing prequels they aren't beholden to hours of exposition to explain everything like they did in 2 and 4.
	Roto13 posted September 03, 2012: Well, this is still a follow-up to three games. You'll probably be ok just reading a synopsis of Peace Walker, which will probably be included in the game the same way the stories of Metal Gear 1 and 2 were in Metal Gear Solid 1. Peace Walker isn't really that story heavy. (No 30-minute cutscenes.) It's totally worth playing, though.
	joseph_valencia posted September 03, 2012: Yeah, I picked up the MGS HD collection last week and "Peace Walker" is easily the best MGS game to date. It seems all the really good MGS games have Big Boss as the protagonist, so "Ground Zeroes" is already off to a good start.
	zippdementia posted September 03, 2012: I think it's because they have a simpler time line to adhere to and less plot points. I've been meaning to play Peace Walker. I kind've avoided it because my friends said the best thing about it was the multiplayer, which I was only somewhat interested in. But it sounds like that may have been a false telling.
	dementedhut posted September 03, 2012: The multiplayer versus mode in Peace Walker is garbage. Very, very simple and small maps, and because of that you get horrible respawns. But multiplayer co-op, that's what makes Peace Walker entertaining to play! Going through the game's missions with your buddies is a pretty fun experience. I consider MGS3:S the best Solid title, but Peace Walker is still a pretty good addition to the series. Pretty lame how they replaced MGS3's knife with a shock rod, though.
	Roto13 posted September 03, 2012: To keep the cero rating down. :P Peace Walker is only rated T by the ESRB, even.
	dementedhut posted September 03, 2012: Yeah, but stabbing and slicing throats was so much fun in MGS3! Now I'm just poking people with my naughty stick. ;_;
	zippdementia posted September 03, 2012: Ah ha ha! That is kind've lame, though hardly enough to ruin an experience for anyone, right? Funny that Metal Gear, of all franchises, was interested in getting a teen or lower rating.
