MGS5: Kojima Says He’s Created The Great Escape of Gaming

Hideo Kojima has tweeted that his ambition with Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes has been to create the videogame equivalent of classic movie The Great Escape. 

He added that it simply wasn't possible until now to realise his vision despite multiple advancements in platforms since 1987 but that current technologies couples with the Fox Engine being used to make Ground Zeroes means it's now possible. 

Wanted to create game like movie "Great Escape". That was the start. Such tension you try to move & stay away from the search light (cont)

"Déjà-Vu Mission" has a lot more than using low polygon Snake skin. It's special mission of exploring Shadow Moses-ish GZ base.
