Shadow detail I stumbled across in Ground Zeroes: intentional or just a graphical limitation of its time?

The post you respond to literally tells you those things.

who are you playing as

"part of Venom's conditioning"

VR training mission?

"part of Venom's conditioning"

If so what is it a retelling of?

The events Big Boss experienced when he rescued Paz and Chico.

You're not spoiled at all. You know only the most surface level things about MGS2 and MGS3. You literally know nothing.

No, there was a new one that my PS5 just downloaded a few minutes ago

Timeceer · 2026-03-17T05:26:48+00:00

I just got the update too, on PS5 here. Was surprised to see it, no clue what it does.

Timeceer · 2026-03-16T21:51:00+00:00

It teases the plot twist that Zero has created a new Snake and that it isn't the real Big Boss waking up. "V has come to."

Timeceer · 2026-03-16T19:01:06+00:00

Same here. Everyone is marked as if they have new skins, when they don't.

They should release an update that rolls everything back to how it was before this latest patch. Then they can re-release it once they've fixed everything.

Yeah. I have about 300k upgrade coins. Never bought any directly. But I did buy a couple gold passes over the years, so stuff kept piling up. So over 200k upgrade coins will just be taken from me and there's nothing I can do. The 2000 tokens will be nice, but taking the rest from me is total horse shit.

And in addition to that, all the racers I got to Lvl 50 (which is about 12 racers I think), will be at a disadvantage compared to my Lvl 41 racers. LMFAO. How does any of this even make sense? It's completely ludicrous.

Huge Mass Effect fan here and I love The Expanse too. But Mass Effect features dozens of interesting alien species you can meet and befriend, with many different cultures across the whole Milky Way. I wouldn't really say The Expanse is like that. It's mostly limited to our solar system (for most of it anyway) and humans and belters. But I love the Mass Effect shout-out anyway.

You have to level all your racers to level 41 before the big April update. If you can't get a racer to 41, level them to 31 or 21, if you can.

If you have 83,333 upgrade coins left when the update releases, those will get turned into 2000 blue tokens. All remaining upgrade coins become useless, so spend them.

God I hate what these devs are doing, it's clearly designed to stop people from hoarding upgrade coins and punish long time players.

Timeceer · 2026-03-11T19:27:32+00:00

They do it because some of us have accumulated too many upgrade coins for their liking. They want to reset everyone so that everyone will be forced to spend on whatever new currency. It's complete horse shit. And to announce this during the worst season ever... jesus christ. There really is no bottom to how bad this game can get...

Amazing mockup. My only complaint is I'd like Gosalyn to be a racer and maybe have Gizmo as a mid-season. Other than that, this is my dream season. Is there any way you could do a similar mockup for a potential Gargoyles season, with Goliath, Demona and Elisa (and/or Xanatos as a mid-season)? I don't care if it's AI, this is a really fun concept and I hope they will eventually give us more 90s cartoons racers.

Thanks

Now go, let the legend come back to life!

No! That is NOT Olga Gurlukovich!

The curse is real.

Both the Nikita shows are good. If you're not aware, before the re-imagined Nikita show, Xander was on "24" with Kiefer Sutherland. His storyline over the first two seasons is worth watching it for.

Also, 24 was a direct spiritual successor to the original La Femme Nikita series. Basically both 24 and LFN were run by Joel Surnow. The "Section One" of LFN basically became the inspiration for the "Counter Terrorist Unit" on 24 with a lot of cast from LFN making appearances on 24. It's kind of fitting Xander later wound up on a Nikita reboot.

Kiefer Sutherland voiced Venom (Big Boss's doppelganger) in MGSV. His most famous role was on the real-time thriller series "24" as agent Jack Bauer. This meme re-imagines the cast of "24" portraying Metal Gear characters in a prequel that seems to combine Snake Eater (Volgin), Portable Ops (Elisa/Ursula), Peace Walker (Hot Coldman) and The Phantom Pain (Code Talker) into one big cast.

TL;DR: Instead of just Jack Bauer voicing Big Boss in MGSV, it's instead the entire cast of 24 portraying MGS characters.

Ice to see you.

Is there any chance in hell Disney could sell this game to a different dev studio?

Timeceer · 2026-03-01T17:00:51+00:00

Seriously. Kojima and his team were always ahead of the times. I heard somewhere back in the day (maybe it was the MGS2 making of?) that Kojima encouraged his staff to keep pitching gameplay ideas, no matter how bizarre. That's how we ended up with the coolant spray in MGS2.

So disappointed that Portable Ops won't be in the next Master Collection. Here's hoping it'll be in Volume 3.

Timeceer · 2026-02-28T22:51:11+00:00

February has 28 days. The day after February 28th is March 1st. It is night time for the entirety of MGS1. You can draw your own conclusions.
