Already 11 years ago😅 This was originally planned to demonstrate the FOX engine and the gameplay of an open world infiltration game. I thought of it as an episode connecting PW and MGSV TPP, to be a bridge for both generations (console and handheld). We were considering releasing it as a part of MGSV TPP, but just then, the PS4 was released and there were only a few titles out, so just GZ was released ahead of the others. The aim was to introduce it as a prologue to the new gameplay (solo infiltration, completing missions, calling in a helicopter to escape) and new visuals, but also to make it easier for PW users to purchase the game. Although the episodes were short, we threw in as many gameplay elements as possible. Although it is recognized now, 11 years later, there was online negativity at the time saying, "Selling a demo version at a low price?" and it received the lowest rating in the MGS series.

11年も前とは😅 もともとFOXエンジンとオープンワールド潜入というゲーム性を実証ために企画したもの。PWとMGSV TPPを繋ぐエピソードとして、両方の世代(据え置き機と携帯機)に向けてのブリッジになるように考えた。MGSV TPPに内包して発売することも検討していたが、ちょうどPS4が発売され、タイトルも少ないというので、急遽、GZだけが先行発売に。新たなゲーム性(単独潜入、ミッション達成、ヘリを呼んで脱出)と新ビジュアルのプロローグとして紹介する、またはPWユーザーにも購入しやすくするという狙いもあった。エピソードは短いものの、多くの遊び要素を出来る限り投入した。ただし、11年経過した今では評価が高いが、「体験版を安価でも売るのか？」という当時のネットネガティヴに合い、MGSシリーズとしては最低評価に。
