These young militants suffer painful atrocities of war under stark camera focus, their eventual extraction only leading to further danger for Big Boss and company. Two of the soldiers of Big Boss’s paramilitary outfit are being held at an American black site in Cuba, their recovery being your sole objective. Game director Hideo Kojima is in prime filmmaker mode in Ground Zeroes, making what little story progression there rings with nuance and emotion. But that doesn’t stop every moment from being expertly shot, edited, and motion captured. Only a handful of narrative sequences haven’t been shown in the several lengthy trailers. Most players will have already seen a significant portion of Ground Zeroes’ cutscenes before they pick the game up. Ground Zeroes has few blemishes to speak of, outside of textures clipping into the ground when looked at up close or Big Boss’ glued-on beard whiskers. Footsteps on grated floors or the shifting of a rifle’s weight by a tired guard escalate depending on how close you can approach them, selling an immediate and palpable sense of place. More importantly, atmospheric effects can be incredibly subtle but powerful. Prerelease footage from Kojima Productions confirmed that the PS4 version we played as the ideal visual setup, so we’re not sure what you’ll get from other consoles.Ĭharacter models express an impressive range of subtle and dramatic emotions, speaking dialogue that is mixed just as smoothly and crisply as the many different gun discharges.
Simply put, no stealth game has ever looked this good, although we imagine a few more tricks should be in store when The Phantom Pain launches. Rocks, tents, and NPC ponchos are slick with moisture.
Big Boss’s mission to extract two members of his paramilitary organization from a black-ops site in Cuba is set against pouring rain and panning searchlights.
Like Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots before it, Ground Zeroes is a decadent showcase of technical mastery. Three top investment pros open up about what it takes to get your video game funded.
