    Playing a third-person tactical shooter with a virtual reality headset? I believe that it’s a horrible combination.

      The 3-D viewer does not do VR. Though Oculus Rift devs have managed to make a case for third person and RTS style VR.

        Oh, my bad. So it’s like a 1080 p Virtual Boy with 3d capabilities, right?
        And I recall the 3D viewer having a blu ray/dvd/cd tray. But it looks like it’s connected with a usb cable to the ps4.

    i saw this on his FB and i freaking knew it was Akio-san playing the game 😀

    freaking badass!! and that style!!!! and wow the head gear really does look like the same NVG he used from the first trailer ^^
    in the third pic, he really does look like Snake! especially if you see the poster on his left side 🙂

    i wonder if Tomokazu Sugita(Miller) and Kikuko Inoue(Chico) and Nana Mizuki(Paz) are there as well? ^^

    in other news, he’s been posting alot of Robocop pics lately

    I wonder if this means Sony is preparing a VR headset for PS4…

      Rumors strongly suggest that they are. But the Sony HMZ 3-D viewer is not a VR headset so this doesn’t really tell us anything.

    Wouldn’t it be great if Konami released a HIDEO KOJIMA COLLECTION

    It could include
    -Snatcher/Policenauts HD Collection (PSVita/PS4)
    -Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (PSP)
    -Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection (PSVita)
    -Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection (PS3)
    -Metal Gear Solid V (PS4)

      What about penguin attack? By far the most groundbreaking and highly acclaimed game in Kojima’s library. I mean…look i….. Sigh, I can’t. I just can’t..
      it’s a master piece!

    This is NOT a VR headset. Just basically a 3DTV strapped to your head. But I guess this means Ground Zeroes supports 3-D. At least on PS4.

    Could somebody explain to me why the previous article at MGI.com got involved in this random fanboy debate?

    How much does the viewer cost?

        I’m going out later to buy one. Want me to get one for you Nyx? How about you William? 😀

          No, not really a fan of 3D, and I think it’s far too expensive anyway. But I hope you enjoy it!

            Nah, It’s not a problem, in fact I’ll buy two for me, so I get double the 3D pleasure! 😀 End of sarcasm.

          • Nyxus

            You’ll have 6D!

            And brain damage! Hell yeah!

        Seriously now, 1000$? Who is able to a afford such a thing?

          Is it a rhetorical question? You got to be rich as hell if you play the game with the 3D viewer and the use remote-play function on the vita, while navigating yourself through camp omega with your tablet!
