Kojima has released new ... well ... not gonna spoil anything so click the video if you want. It's reveals something about the character Quiet.

Nanomachines...son?

It better not be nanomachines
That stuff ruined parts of MGS4's story.

nanomachines have always being involved

Kojima needs an editor. I already know he's going to retcon more sophisticated technology into this game than were in the future games but if this ones goes more OTT than all the previous in terms of the supernatural element I'll be sad. Long gone are the days of MGS1 which was semi grounded in reality.

Well the degree to which they were used in 4 ruined it. Also I don't think they were involved in 3.

Starting the Ground Zeroes game tonight. I saw the iDroid app for your phone, worth syncing up to the game or is it just fluff?

There's nanomachines. And then there's MGS4 nanomachines used as a lazy deus ex machina to close every plothole.

It is fairly handy, as it essentially acts as your map. It only shows enemies you've marked with the binoculars, but it'll also start giving you their patrol routes once they've walked it a bit.

You definitely won't make things harder by not using it, but it'll make things a bit easier alright.

Thanks man, 1 more thing. The Mother Base on it, is there 1 base that you start building in the app and can add to it by playing GZ or are there 2 bases, 1 for offline App only play and 1 for building through GZ?

First one. It's one base within the app but doing certain things in GZ unlocks things for your Mother Base app. I never really bothered with it though bar a quick squizz when I first got it, so can't give you much info myself on it.

Cool, Just asking as I saw something on yootoob about being able to sync your Mother Base from your app to MGS V to unlock stuff. Not sure how legit that is but might be a nice way of getting a leg up on starting from scratch.

Well I've heard that extracting prisoners & certain enemies in Ground Zeroes can unlock them for use in Mother Base in the Phantom Pain, but I would have thought it would do it through your save game (or migrating your save game from PS3 to PS4 for example) rather than going through the app, as I believe a new companion app is coming for TPP.

Cleared GZ in just over 2 hours, rank D. The 14 retries didn't help that. 0 kills and 1 enemy combat alert (I made a crazy dash for the coast at the end, retried way too many times going the silent route taking Paz out) Would have been sickened to pay 40 quid for that but was great as a PS+ game. Went in completely blind and took an arseways route to Chico but some great mechanics in it, brilliant ending.

I found a random prisoner but dumped him when it got too hot around me.

As for Paz......where.......where was the other one....

Also, I'm a big fan of Kiefer Sutherland but seriously missed Hayter in this. Kept waiting for Snake to say 'Dammit Chloe!'

Definitely will play through it again to see what I missed.

It's really the side missions that help increase the value of it. They're more varied and require different approaches (and most happen during the day to increase the challenge). Even then I wouldn't be sure if it was worth €40, but as indicated by the thread title, people's complaints that it could be completed in 2 hours completely disregards the side missions and doing the secret stuff (like extracting all prisoners etc).

I'd definitely suggest playing through again or playing the side missions. First playthrough takes a bit of getting used to due to the new controls and game mechanics. Once you get used to them the game really opens up.

Zero-Cool

Yeah, the side ops sound very interesting. By the time I got to Paz, I had the mechanics down. getting to Chico, I was still very much stumbling around the place. I interrogated a guy for a sniper rifle position but never went looking for it.

Aw man, had no intention of getting MGS V (on launch) but this is after throwing a curve ball at me.

You need the 9 XOF badges (all 9 in one mission playthrough) to unlock the 2 bonus missions. Rescuing Chico & Paz unlocks the rest.
Here is a vid on the XOF badges locations

BTW I got a code with Ground Zeroes. Do I use that when I get Phantom Pain or what?

Zero-Cool

Aaahhh, found 1 badge on my playthrough, was wondering about the other 2 missions. Apparently I have 6% of the game completed so a bit left in it yet

From Konami's site:

The first-print release of METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES will include a KONAMI Core Registration Code for those who purchased it within the United States, Canada, and Latin America. Upon entering this code, you will be able to retrieve exclusive DLC for METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN upon its release by accessing your vault within the KONAMI Core Website. PS3 users will receive a DLC Code that will allow them to download an exclusive trailer for METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN. We highly recommend that you view this trailer upon completion of METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES.

For those who purchased METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES outside of the regions specified above (i.e. Europe) — the code provided within will not be valid until METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN is released. Please store this code in a safe location and redeem it upon the release of METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN.

For those who had purchased the game digitally, regardless of region, the entitlement to the DLC received from registering the game via KONAMI Core will be linked to either your PlayStation or Xbox Live account – METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN will check that the game is in your purchase history, and will grant rights to that DLC when the game is released.

So I guess it unlocks something for The Phantom Pain. Maybe some items or Mother Base stuff.
