Kojima Foreshadowed Leaving Konami In Ground Zeroes?

Hideo Kojima knew his partnership with Konami was on the rocks; perhaps he even knew it was over.

Not only did he know, but he might've hinted at the split in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes , according to a new gameplay video.

Posted up by YouTuber TimeSplitters88, the footage shows the Deja Vu mission, where players assume the role of a MGS-era Snake and recreate iconic scenes from the original classic. You probably know this, but did you know about a potentially prophetic sub-mission where the player has to find logos for various MGS titles? Whenever the logos are found, they're expunged, which is basically a prediction of what was to come.

Konami had the Kojima Productions logo removed from all official art for any games in the series, remember? Yes, seems like the main man knew and he probably wasn't too pleased about it.

Konami has announced a price drop for all boxed versions of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes . The game can now be purchased for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 for only $20.

The digital copy can be purchased for $20 as well on PS3 and 360, but this version remains $30 for PS4 and Xbox One. So as of now, the boxed version for next-gen consoles is definitely the way to go, and it'll give you a chance to check out Hideo Kojima's latest masterpiece. A peek at the upcoming Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain , Ground Zeroes offers a glimpse of greatness.

Let's hope that greatness is realized…

Ground Zeroes Completed In 4 Minutes With An S-Rank

When Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes came out, many claimed that the game could be beaten in under two hours.

Yeah? How's about in under four minutes ?

The latest speed run, spotted by Kotaku , shows YouTube user CrumandMimalmo racing through the game in just 3:54:870. The impressive part isn't even the time; it's the fact that it was an S-Rank play-through, and Mimalmo claims that this is a world record. We're not about to doubt that.

Ground Zeroes was a prologue to the upcoming Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain ; the latter is supposedly over "200 times bigger" than the sample we received back in February. So, probably no 4-minute speed runs for that one, right?
