other than MGS looking beautiful how do we feel about it being open world?

idk im skeptical about how it will be done

well all I am gonna say is it had some great red dead style gameplay, with the MGS stealth and story I am sold and have insane expectations

The openess of the next Metal Gear is what makes it the first Metal Gear I'm interested in actually.

I can't wait. When I heard it was open world, I was immediately sold.

Probably going to be the best game of all time anyway.  Will buy.

looks amazing in every aspect.

I hate open world. Hate GTA, Skyrim, everything. But MGS... I think this may be the first game to do it right. And even if it doesn't, damn it's pretty.

This is the best thing to happen to MGS since the arrival of 3d graphics. All the terrific stealth/action gameplay will be expanded as the world grows. I loved the bit in the demo when he used his horse as a way of hiding from the enemy. Just perfect. soul_starter

and not to mention the amazingly smooth diving for cover motions

i dont know about mgs. back in the day i enjoyed mgs1 and 3 but hated 4 and im not looking forward to  5 at all im more interested in splinter cell.

im glad it is now multiplat so when people critized it no one can claim its an attack because its exclusive.

mgs is too slow paced boring and has more videos than gameplay. splinter cell looked is fast paced and alot of fun imo.

Love the game. but I don't think I'll ever get used to Kiefer's voice as Snake!

When I heard it was open world, I thought to myself, wow a universe/setting where the gameplay elements found in games like GTA, Crackdown, RDR would be actually be put to some good use.

I have never been disappointed by a Metal Gear game. Truly one of the best franchises in gaming.

MGS is taking a hugh risk by trying to appeal to the mass market. The mistake that many games have made in this generation. It will still sell millions of copies just because of it's name, but I fear it will have the backlash of Diablo 3, Dragon Age 2, Dead Space 3 and Mass Effect 3. I can see retailers dropping the price of new MGS 5 copies to $40 after two months and then to $30 by it's fifth or sixth month do to the hugh amount of trade-ins.

What made the previous MGS games so great in my opinion are the stealth and story elements, but they were done so in a very deliberate and controlled manner. Having an open world would be a great challenge to that I think. But Kojima's track record has been great with the series, so I have great hopes for it. northypoley

Looked very RDR-ish. Which is a good thing.

I trust Kojima's vision and look forward to experiencing an open world MGS. I do hope it brings back the feel of MGS1 though which is still my favorite of the franchise.

trust me the open world will make it better.  its what made deus ex so good.  having different ways to approach a mission, not simply straight forward

I just downloaded Deus Ex HR and am having a blast. I'm kicking myself in the ass for not playing it sooner.

They aren't taking a risk at all. This series has always seen a significant progression in gameplay. That was evident in the different acts in MGS 4. Compare the first two levels of gameplay to the throwback level where you return to Shadow Moses.

I'm actually really excited to see how it pans out. It looks amazing, and the depth of the open world approach and opend ended style to missions and how you play them really seems cool. I'm curious about the realistic passage of time, I'm curious as to whether or not that means a legit 24 hour day cycle or not. Either way, the new MGS game looks amazing and I have nothing but high hopes for it. ^^

I cannot agree on the Zelda, and Mario statements. Quality is one thing that isn't lacking from the games I have played of those franchises.  Most of them have been great, especially for some of their time periods of release.

However, utilizing an open world environment/setting/theme etc, then I would agree they are not the best examples. Neither is GTA. 

This MGS is probably the first open world SETTING I have been really excited about, that I know about.

I would love an Open world Blade Runner. 

mostly hoping its less of a movie and more of a game unlike tha last one

It makes me interested in the possiblities the gam has to offer and with Big Boss taking center stage as well.

This will not be an open world game in the same sense that something like GTA V or inFamous is. In terms of gameplay mechanics, I suspect that the map will offer some freedom in terms of which missions can be chosen at what point, with some exploration and optional opportunities in between. In terms of the main story missions though, they will take place in more controlled areas to enable things like guards raising alarms and whatnot.

I'm thinking that the main map will act as a bridge of sorts, linking more restricted and enclosed locations. That would obviously depend on the mission though. Regardless of how they do it, this will be the best game EVER!

[QUOTE="soul_starter"] Totally agree, other than GTA, no other game series exudes so much quality and always delivers upon promises. And yes, I've included Mario and Zelda in my analysis. soul_starter

Please try to understand what was typed.  

I said not the best example of SETTING/THEME.   And I still don't....  The setting of all of them was atrocious imo, worst of them all was San Andreas. That setting/theme of the games is not the best to have an open world game in.  There can be much better game SETTING/THEMES than the limited mentality of the gang/bang & mafia cliche's.

It (GTA) is the franchise that should be pointed to when giving a best examples of open world games. I am not arguing that, however when it comes to setting/theme, its extremely lackluster!  RDR isn't much better, I don't care for westerns.

Also, No I didn't get excited about GTA III, it was clunky gameplay (especially on consoles), and I felt it over-rated even then. However, the new one GTA V looks decent. Gameplay not near as clunky looking, and I plan to give it a go at some point.
