Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes “Will Be Worth The Wait,” Says Kojima

The legendary game developer asks for your patience.

We all know that games from Hideo Kojima don’t drop every other year — or even every three years. No, the man takes his time to develop a title, but rest assured that once said title is released, it won’t disappoint.

So Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, which is a massive prologue of sorts to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom pain, “will be worth the wait,” Kojima says in the YouTube comments of Ground Zeroes’ latest gameplay video, adding that “it’ll be released soon”.

Elsewhere, Kojima answered criticism about the changes being made to the game, things like generated health and some changes made to controls.

Here are his responses, as gathered by DualShockers:

Because game is entertainment. But as long as it is an interactive, we need to adjust controls & systems reflected to the time we live today
