Earlier today Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes was announced to the world, and now a few more details about the game have surfaced online.

The new game from Kojima Productions is said to be open-world and feature real-time cutscenes powered by the new Fox Engine. Hideo Kojima showed off a 20 minute gameplay demo at the presentation, but sadly no filming was allowed.

However, according to GameSpot the demo took place on a remote, rainy military base and showed the protagonist–possibly Big Boss–sneaking around before switching to a third person aiming mode to take down a guard. “The demo gave out a sandbox open-world vibe; the military base itself felt expansive and huge, and Snake can summon a helicopter to bring him around as well as drive a jeep to go from point A to B,” the site revealed.

A Metal Gear Solid movie was also announced at the event, details can be found here.

An ability to go many hours without sleep and a quick wit make him ideal for his role as associate editor at EGMNOW.com. He often thinks back to the days when the very idea of this career seemed like nothing but an impossible dream. Follow him on Twitter @mattyjb89. Meet the rest of the crew.
