Could this be the ‘Taboo’ in Metal Gear Solid:Ground Zeroes?

For those who don’t know Kojima’s new game, MGS:Ground Zeroes is “…going to be treading a lot of taboos, and a lot of mature themes that really are quite risky.” but none of us really know what these Taboo’s are.

Could be it, yeah. Nonetheless Kojima should release it as it is and I can tell you it'll sell like it's the bomb.

Peppino74069d ago

It was a really good thought about children soldiers. I don't know about sales wise though. Kojima mentioned that he would trade off sales for creativity. He's not obsessed with money, just perfection. The article is nice and I can see how the recent shootings in sandy hook and pressure from the media might make this more taboo than normal. Games are viewed negatively from people that dont play them. I translated his statement into meaning that this game will be as intense and emotional as it could be. In other words...Greatness.

Simon_Brezhnev4069d ago

Maybe its about killing Americans in the game but naw im joking i do wonder what it is.

Sounds very right to me... don't know how they would get away with you... killing children in the game... aggressors or not.

Don't know if it's "allowed."

I personally don't equate game violence with real-world violence anyway, or movies, or literary for that matter.

Be interesting to see what controversy comes from WHATEVER the taboo actually is.

Good_Guy_Jamal4069d ago

What about all that stuff with Snake and Paz?? If that wasn't taboo I don't know what is.

xBigxBossx4069d ago

If you played the whole game you would know that it wasn't taboo. Spoilers she's of age haha.

Good_Guy_Jamal4069d ago

She's 16!! And she looked 12! Thats underage where I'm from.

xBigxBossx4069d ago (Edited 4069d ago )

Spoilers

If you played through the entire game you would know she's around 24 and actually a spy for Zero. She was born in 1950 and peace walker takes place in 1974

Heisenburger4069d ago

You ought to be ashamed.... showing your ignorance like that....

lashes2ashes4069d ago

Child soldiers are dealt with pretty heavily in metal gear solid rising. Some pretty horrible stuff happens to kids in that game lol.

WitWolfy4069d ago

Obviously this MGS is where Big Boss meets "Jack the ripper" aka Raiden .. Big Boss did have a mercenary training center in outer heaven anyways.. So whats so taboo about that???

Im starting to think some people dont know the lore of MGS and just think everything is about slavery or some kind of "Inner deep" story line..

Big boss was just trying to bring his mentor "Boss" vision to life.. Durka durka!

Allsystemgamer4069d ago

Unless this takes place in the late 80s early 90s that's not happenning. Jack the Ripper aka raiden was born in the 80s.

Since The Contra Revival Shows Konami Still Cares, How About A New Castlevania?

Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga is a classic revival done right, but why hasn't Konami done the same yet for the bigger and more popular Castlevania?"

shinoff218315d ago

Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those

XiNatsuDragnel15d ago

Castlevania fighting game for wii needs to be remade plz

Aphrodia15d ago

well, the new C ontra was made by Wayforward, who have been taking sooooo many of these classic franchises and making new iterations of them. Imo they aren't very good at it. And I don't see operation galuga being a large enough success to possibly give them Castlevania.

It’s almost like Metal Gear is a well known franchise

just_looken73d ago

Horrible news more proof todays "gamer" is just a cow ready to be milked.

That mgs collection is no better than my ps3 copy but my ps3 copy has 0 server restrictions i always roll my eyes when reviewers or these new "youtube gamer" channels show off the information books on a webpage via a trash in game browser or the lack of controller support like it s a good thing.

Also GOG still has a better version mgs 1 or use the duck ps1 emulator.

Well time for the peace walker remaster pc port 480p 20fps needs a rtx 3090 or 6900xt to run with dunovo konami account then a govt id check.

just_looken71d ago (Edited 71d ago )

All the bonus content on the new collection needs a konami server to load them up if you pull your lan cord only the games will work but that is temp as those games are digital goods.

When i said digital i know there is a disc version games are on the disc i was referring to the pc version and the patches after the fact but yes ps5 has a disc version.

Here is the online bit

As long as it's not like Twin Snakes. And I hope they have the option to keep the original PSone voice tracks, which is a huge part of the appeal for me. The Twin Snakes voice tracks sounded worse, and had lame script changes as well.

Babadook7100d ago

Of Course. Go straight to the near perfect source.

porkChop100d ago

It's likely going to be handled just like Delta.

just_looken100d ago (Edited 100d ago )

Its probably like resident evil 2 remake.

for those that do not know fans remade that game until the garage scene but then was shutdown by capcom a few years later bam RE2 hd remaster.

In 2016 fans used unreal engine up until the raven fight it was a full hd remaster square shut it down took everything so why not use there work.
