Kojima's Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes won't be the first Metal Gear to earn an "M" rating from the ESRB, but it will be the first to do so because of its sexual violence.
It looks like we'll have plenty of room to sneak around, folks. It's just been revealed that Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain's open world will be "hundreds of times" larger than Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes'.
If you were wondering why Kojima Productions is splitting up Metal Gear Solid 5 into two games, it has everything to do with how long we'll be waiting to play Phantom Pain.
During the invite-only PlayStation 4 press event in New York this past week, Hideo Kojima was on hand to show off some Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes. He also inadvertently revealed Sony's consoles would have exclusive content for the upcoming prologue to MGS 5: The Phantom Pain.
When you have a game series that's been running as long as Metal Gear Solid's, it's tough to continue expanding on the narrative. It's even tougher to keep jamming new details into the history through prequels. Looks like Hideo Kojima might have finally hit a continuity wall with Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, but he's not worried.
Konami and Kojima Productions have announced the release date window for the first part of the Metal Gear Solid 5 experience, Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes.
