Big Boss didnt lose any body parts in PW. Its something that will happen in V. The question is, will it happen in PP or in GZ?
I am pretty sure GZ is targeted for a niche market.
Probably sold for its sentimental value in addition to whatever else might be in there uniquely to do fan service. Its probably sold in a similar fashion as a collectors item. It does have some fan service elements that fans will love (MGS1 and Snatcher inspired missions. The MGS1 mission is something that many fans appreciate. Snatcher players will see something unique in the XB1 version too). MGS4's fan service was done in the shadow mosses chapter. Old MGS fans saw huuuge value in that chapter and was one of the most memorable moments ever. Its something the player who never touched MGS1 during the 32 bit era will never ever understand.
I doubt its just a demo even though short. To the non MGS fan it may be a rip off because he cant identify with those that recognize MGS's unique identity. But for some fans it may have value beyond the length of the game. And that will rely on the content.
I don't really care that much as I never pay full price for a game anyway.
But I find it a bit sad and disgusting that Kojima is so conceited, self-loving that he clearly believes that a 1-hour, first level demo for his new game has more value and can be sold at double the price as games like Journey when it was released. And then sell the 'real' game at full price a few months later!
It's worse than dividing the last Harry Potter or Hunger Games books into two separate movies.
Greed at its best.
People will buy it and no one will care, but the principle remains. Very sad.
All my very own personal opinion of course.

Where are you getting these 1-2 hour game demos? Most I see these days last maybe 20 minutes.
Your reply is as if you havent even read my reply.

More like 5 minutes.

That would make a lot of sense, actually. Atleast for the ppl who buy from PSN (or XBL).
I am not saying any game that last 90 minutes can't be worth $40 dollars. But its a MGS game which usually provides an experience that can hardly be encapsulated in a 90 minute window. And while I have a strong love hate relationship with the franchise, I consider MGS my favorite franchise of all time.
You know the plot is going to be highly complex with a ton of characters with their own stories. And more than likely GZ (the term usually refers to the point of detonation of a nuclear explosion) is going to be an explosive segway into a greater story. Im not going to pay $40 for a short game that at its best would provide an experience analogous to "blue balls". I am not a masochist. LOL.
Until it's been reviewed or played the question of its worth to an individual is without value. People can hate on the idea as much as they want, it's a free planet after all. But I'd be quite happy to pay the money and spend as much or as little time playing as I want. Glass half full and all that.
I suspect the fears about length are pretty meaningless. The game has always been presented as a stealth action sand box so the fact that you can complete the mission in 2 hours doesn't mean much. You can beat Skyrim in very little time if you decide to ignore most of the game. What's important is how much other mischief you can get into while playing Ground Zeroes. Based on Kojima's track record, I would imagine it will be quite a lot.

Then I am guessing it will happen in Ground Zeroes. It will end bloody, Big Boss will get hurt, go into coma, Phantom Pan will start with Big Boss waking up nine years later in the hospital. it will start with the demo Kojima showed for PP, Snake watching bikini babes on hospital floor while trying to get back to life and escape death and fight ghosts at the same time
!Oh Boy ! Can't wait for Phantom pain already
!EDIT: BTW, with Sutherland voicing Snake now, it gets very confusing as I cannot tell when its Snake's voice int he trailer and when its someone else
! David had a very unique tone for Snake, you could tell its Snake with just the audio.Truth be told his voice did lose its touch. In MGS1 he was simply perfect.His voice sounded so natural. In the latest games he was struggling to replicate Snake's voice.
I'm not sure, but I think I downloaded a version once for my PSP and was kind of disgusted of playing a mutilated MGS on that tiny small screen with awkward controls. I quit playing it pretty much within the first 5 minutes. I think that was Portable Ops, but I'm not really sure now. I think you were Snake and on a beach in the beginning?
I guess I should really give Peace Walker a try (another if it was that) though...
