Go away please.
Get ready for the exciting follow-up to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain…that nobody asked for…or wants.
Metal Gear Survive is a co-op survival game set in an alternate dimension of the MGS universe. Taking place after the events of Ground Zeroes, a wormhole swallows up the MSF crew and spits them out into a parallel world where they must endure hordes of zombie-like beings.
The game utilizes the same stealth-based gameplay as The Phantom Pain, as well as the same mission-based structure, only now the player can sneak around with three buddies.
A 15 minute demo of title was showcased at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, which you can checkout below.
While fighting zombies looks like fun, the fan response to Survive has been incredibly negative. This is the first Metal Gear game made without series creator Hideo Kojima, who left/was removed from Konami prior to the release of The Phantom Pain, and fans aren’t to please the company is continuing to create MG game’s without Kojima’s involvement.
Kojima is now working with Sony and Norman Reedus on a new game, Death Stranding.
While Survive is a spinoff and has nothing to do with the main Metal Gear storyline, it still makes us wonder why Konami would even bother attaching the series to this title at all. Why not just make an entirely brand new game?
The like bar never stood a chance.
Anyway, here’s hoping this game isn’t the misguided cash grab everyone’s perceiving it to be.
Metal Gear Survive comes to PS4, Xbox One, and PC in 2017.
