Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes getting trailer that highlights Xbox One/PS4 differences

Kojima Productions preparing a trailer that compares the resolution and frame rate differences between all versions of the game.

635 Comments

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes developer Kojima Productions is currently preparing a trailer that will compare resolution and frame rate between the Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4 versions of the game.

No Caption Provided

Series creator Hideo Kojima announced the news on Twitter, saying a trailer is better than simply releasing comparison images because those images would need to be compressed.

When the trailer is released, it'll be difficult to determine the exact difference in frame rate because the video is going to be streamed, Kojima cautioned fans. Thus, he said it "may be better" to download the trailer to get a better understanding of the differences between platforms.

Kojima made waves earlier this week when he reportedly said that the PlayStation 4 version of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes looks "slightly better" than the Xbox One version.

Konami has yet to confirm if there is a resolution or frame rate difference between the Xbox One and PS4 versions of the game, so you might have to wait until the game is released to know which version is visually superior.

Kojima agreed with this. "You can tell clearly when you play it," he said.

If Ground Zeroes does in fact run in a higher resolution and frame rate on PS4 compared to Xbox One, it won't be the first multiplatform game to do so. Responding to the 1080p/60fps debate recently, Microsoft said, "these little things get way overblown." Meanwhile, Sony UK boss Fergal Gara told GameSpot this week that better performance on PS4 over Xbox One is because Sony's console is "performing and packing the punch that developers want."

It's not only Ground Zeroes' visual performance that's been drawing headlines of late. Kojima and his team have also been faced with controversy surrounding the game's reportedly short length.

The difference will be very minor at best, even probably hardly noticeable. But Sony will play this out to the last drop. I love both consoles and want both, for me I look at this from a neutral perspective and you can see the heart strings of fan boys ringing very loudly.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> Both Sony and Microsoft would and have, Just look at how there have been comments by some execs on Rise being the best looking game. But it gets tiresome when the difference is so small and a game like Rise turns out to not be that fun. They should both be fighting over the best game experience because that is ultimately what it is about... Bringing us the best games they can. :-D

LOL even Kojima is getting on the pick on M$ fanboi wagon... geez. To buy a 'multi entertainment' console only to find out it's not so hawt in the game part that people paid an extra 100 to be part of. Ouch man.. it seems like this never ends. Then again nor does the endless stream of Microsoft's Lemmings swooping in to defend them.


I am not saying the Xbox one can't be a fun console. I am just thinking you should be paying a 100 dollars more because it was money well spent for something that a pervy doorstop.

Not sure I understand the motivation of Kojima doing this. I mean, it's a good thing to do for customers to make sure they're as educated as possible on their purchasing decision, but isn't this the sort of thing that is going to hinder Xbone version sales? Do you really want to be advertising "Hey guys, let's go into deep detail on why the Xbone version is not as good" to people who may only own an Xbone?

<< LINK REMOVED >> Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Give as much info to people so they can make an informed decision, however this comes off as alienating a fanbase. Both consoles have their good points but it just doesn't seem like a strong business decision to me...

I don't think I will be getting this if the length turns out to be as short as their saying(well until a price drop) but anyway this is a really good idea. I wish other developers would do this.

Lately all footage of games being released is of the next gen version.

This way people get to see what the current gen(360 or ps3) version actually looks like before the game is released.

I'm a 360 gamer so it is nice to have some kind of indication how a game is going to look for it before it comes out.

Thief is out in a couple of weeks or so and there has been absolutely zero footage of the game on current gen and no indication of how its going to look on 360 at all so I certainly won't be buying it till I get a look at it on youtube or some unofficial source so I know its not gonna look too bad.

The PS4 version is $40 and the Xbox One version is $30 downloaded. Lol I'd rather save $10 and get the best version.

Does it really matter???Its the same damn game with similar gameplay and story. The game is not like skyrim on ps3/xbox360. Kojima is not having a problem with developing it on xb1.Why is this website so bent on power,fps, and resolution. If you want all that just get a high end pc.Why cant this website just talk about games only.Back in the 90s people didnt care about this stupid shit.They just wanted to have fun and play games.You people are making games not fun anymore.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> yeah but dude i never saw gaming magazines compare snes/genesis versions of aladdin,batman forever, fatal fury, and street fighter. Ill give you mortal kombat on the genesis but you had to put a stupid cheat code in order to get the blood.Do you remember that? What their comparing is the same game that has the same beginning and end. It makes no sense to debate this.

LOL Now that is just plain rude on Kojima's behalf...I mean, I know there may be differences in performance and the consumer has the right to know beforehand... But this just feels a little bit too much...

Of course the PS4 version looks slightly better - the PS4 hardware is slightly better. Simple as that.

I was so hyped for this game, but now I hear its short and its like a prologue or smth to mgs 5 world and that mgs 5 will be bigger 100 times, but why make such an effort to release such a great game now with few hours to play???
