Yeah, I think that mission will be the "rescue Chico" mission, only with skins of MGS1 Snake and the Darpa Chief.
But hey, if this is free, it's not a problem (otherwise if Sony will charge us for it, is a shame).

I wonder how long this prologue will last? I hope at least 10 hours if its gonna cost $30. What do you think? Looks very tasty, but at times irreal, since, in last video, you can see cameras along the way, but seems to be nobody its able to use them 'cos our dear Snake can't be seen it. I think they should put him in disguise to be more credible... sorry, if I too demanding, but since that seems to be the current goal of Kojima, I mean "realism", they must take care attention to all those details and not only visual enhancement.

Sadly I thing this prologue will be very short.
If you think about it, Metal Gear Solid 4 can be completed in less then 3 hours if you know the way (all the additional play time comes from cutscenes).
Other MGS games are very short too, around three hours of actual gameplay each.

So I think, If we are LUCKY, that this prologue will be around 1 hour and thirty, with a lot of cutscenes to retcon the game with Peace Walker. Basically I think there will be one or two "main" missions, and a lot of "side" one, settled on the same place, where you must rescue people or recover items.

I hope to be wrong about this, but actually I think I'm right :(
The fact that the game will be sold for around 30€ confirm this.

So true, I forgot how short actual gameplay is! Probably, since its a "open world", could be quite re-playable since you could try different tactics to finish it.

Yeah, that for sure.

I wouldn't bet on that...

I stopped playing this series after MGS2, because I thought that game was a horrible experience. Not the gameplay really, which was fine, but the story, settings and stuff... just misery for me.

That clip of gameplay above though, that looks prettttttttttttty good to me. Might have to give this series another shot.

I just preordered this:

Well, Metal Gear Solid 2 has a crappy story. They cut-out a great part of the games due to 11th September, and if you play the final section of the game, is simply non-sense.
One moment you are in the plant, one moment after you are on top of federal hall.

This fact simply ruined the plot, I doubt Kojima want to do that crappy thing with IA etc.

X-Mas bump

Ground Zeroes still coming in March?

Yes :)

Apparently March will be a month full of good games (Final Fantasy X HD collection and Dark Souls 2 are planned for March too).

In Italy I can't preorder MGS GZ yet, I did it on Amazon uk, but I hope they will put it on preorder here soon, because on Amazon uk is expensive (now they removed the free ship toward Italy).

By the way, there is a "new" info: Microsoft consolle will get an exclusive mission with Raiden, Sony users with classic Snake.

I will wait for Dark Souls 2 when it will be cheaper. I tried the beta, but now it's too easy. I killed 2 bosses on the beta, and I never died.

Don't judge so early just because the first 2 bosses were easy, also even if they make it easy I will still be playing it for the scary athmosphere and amazing locations among other things to enjoy from.

I'm not saying it is a bad game :)
I will play it too, but I'm referring to the fact that now there are too many healing items.
On the beta I carried something like 50 healing items, every mob I killed dropped one or two. If they can fix this, then the game can be challenging. If they will mantein this drop rate, it will be too easy compared to Dark Souls 1.
