Metal Gear Survive Copy and Pastes MGS 5’s Map

So reusing elements or even whole sections of maps from previous games is nothing new. Hell, altering old maps has been done before but Metal Gear Survive has taken things a tad further. Check out this YouTube video from user rensehin showing 15 minutes of comparison from the Afghanistan map in Metal Gear Solid V and the Metal Gear Survive Tokyo Game Show 2016 demo…

Sigh. Really Konami? Apart from a few little differences here and there, you couldn’t make a new map? You’ve added the odd wall here or there, and taken a few little bits out…oh and added a load of fog, but it’s the same map. And this is the demo that you chose to show the world?

Right I can only think of 2 possible reasons for this utter fuster cluck.

  1. They are rushing the hell out of Metal Gear Survive to such an extent that they have had no time to make new maps, and this was one that they chose to show.
  2. It’s a demo to show off the atmosphere and feel of the game, and this map was used to do it, but it won’t actually feature in the finished game.

Personally I think that the former is true and Konami are hoping to start the new wave of post-Kojima Metal Gear games as soon as possible.

What do you think though? Let us know in the comments below, in the RGM Forums or on Twitter.
