So far what we know about the new Metal Gear game Ground Zeroes, is that it will have a day and night cycles, meaning, it will change from day to night and night back into day. That's game time and not real life time of course, and as the time changes, it alters the behavior of the guards and military personnel patrolling around each of the areas. But at the EuroGamer Expo recently, Hideo Kojima has confirmed yet more details about Ground Zeroes that are really interesting. Remember the Mother Base mechanic that you had access to in the Metal Gear game Peace Walker?, yeah, that concept is making a return to Ground Zeroes. With the Mother Base mechanic you could hire people, make weapons and equipment and so fourth. Here are just some of what Kojima had to say at the Expo recently:
“We liked the concept of developing weapons and creating new things at your base, and how that influenced the gameplay. That was a really cool idea, and something that was very popular. I can’t reveal too much about what happens after you get in your chopper, but you get in and fly to your base.Then you can walk around your base all in real-time. It’s the base that you create. But if you want to focus more on the main missions, you can do that, so you don’t have to customise the base if you don’t want to.”
So while your playing in Ground Zeroes, you can call a helicopter, fly to a base, and then wonder around the base and even customize it to your liking. And this folks, is going to be in a huge open world environment, not to mention the added realism of the day and night cycle that happens in real time, meaning, if you fly to another location, depending on how far away that location is, that will be what affects what time of day it is, and how dark or bright things are. Now that's awesome. Kojima also mentioned that your helicopter can be used as support as well if you need. We all saw in the video of how you can call a helicopter, but you can also call it anytime and go anywhere you want, back to your base and mess around for a while if you like.
As of right now, this is the latest video explaining what all of this means, so check it out and enjoy.
