Woooo – there’s a brand new Metal Gear recreation popping out subsequent month! Boooo – it’s a zombie survival recreation. Metal Gear Survive is Konami’s new Metal Gear V spinoff, which swaps shooty males and paramilitary politics for clawy zombies and peculiar dimensional rifts.
It’s a premise that’s straightforward to scoff at, and arguably an unimaginative step for the sequence to take. But what? The sneaking, crafting and base constructing on show within the newest trailer – and a extra detailed one from a number of weeks again – look compelling sufficient to make me assume that it could be value giving the sport an opportunity in any case.
So yeah, the entire po-faced soldier caught in zombie hell factor doesn’t actually curiosity me plot-wise. What I can get behind, although, are the brand new base constructing mechanics mixed with a survivor rescuing model of the staff-recruitment scheme from Metal Gear 5. Designing a fortress and increase a group of survivors appears like an excellent time to me. Poking at zombies via a fence doesn’t seem like the most effective of occasions, however the strategic placement of these fences? Sign me up.
In equity, the defence placement system seems prefer it offers extra choices than that. You can slap down towers to offer sniper spots or to succeed in in any other case inaccessible rooftops, and there are manned and automatic turrets within the combine too.
Clearly although, the most effective bit from the trailer is when the genero-soldier participant character lays down a lure that sends a pursuing zombie horde sliding over a cliff. Look at ’em go!
If you’re after a extra detailed and fewer cinematic-heavy overview, right here’s a trailer from a number of weeks again.
Metal Gear Survive will launch on February 20 within the US and February 22 in Europe.
