On Steel Gear Stable 5: Floor Zeroes ninth anniversary, developer Hideo Kojima mirrored upon the sport’s growth and revealed that it was meant to “experiment” an episodic format for the collection.
Steel Gear Stable 5: Floor Zeroes was initially deliberate as a prologue to MGS 5
Kojima mentioned that Floor Zeroes was initially conceived as a prologue to MGS 5, introducing gamers to Snake’s vengeance. The general theme could be that of retribution. The sport’s launch got here shortly after the PS4’s launch, so Kojima “pre-released” Floor Zeroes to introduce the brand new MGS and get suggestions on the sport, its open world, and the Fox Engine.
“The event of a full sport takes 4-5 years,” Kojima wrote. “Instances change throughout manufacturing, so I considered providing an episodic format, like a streamed drama, the place one episode is produced and distributed. GZ was meant to be an experiment.”

Reflecting upon Floor Zeroes eventual launch, Kojima acknowledged that gamers didn’t fairly get his intention behind the discharge, and there was some disappointment as a result of it was not thought-about a full sport and was thought to have been launched too early.
