Konami Announce Ground Zeroes Sony Exclusive Mission
The most exciting news of last night (bar none) was almost definitely that PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 owners will be getting a bonus mission in the rather exciting Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. This mission, titled Déjà Vu, puts you in the role of “Classic Snake,” the pixelated hero of Metal Gear Solid, and pits you against Genome soldiers in a Shadow Moses-esque setting.
The official description sums up what Déjà Vu will have you doing.
Retracing 16 years of history, the PlayStation-Exclusive “Déjà Vu” mission brings players back to the 1998 PlayStation classic “METAL GEAR SOLID”. In an age when graphics were limited to blocky pixelated polygons, METAL GEAR SOLID set new standards in videogame storytelling with its memorable characters, cinematic presentation, and complex story. Relive the most memorable moments of the past with this Sony-exclusive mission on PlayStation3 and PlayStation4. Past and present collide as the characters and camera angles you remember from the 16-year old classic are brought to life the high-fidelity world of MGS:GZ!
No word quite yet on how they’ve been handling the voice actor thing, but I don’t suppose there needs to be. It’ll almost certainly be Kiefer Sutherland playing Classic Snake, and it’s impossible to know how those angry at David Hayter’s disappearance will feel about the wrong voice coming out of those pixellated lips. Some, no doubt, would rather have Snake stay silent.
All of this will be revealed, I suppose, next year, when Ground Zeroes hits PlayStation 3 and 4.
