Playing GZ with TPP disc; Could this work?

I think if we have bought GZ we should be able to DL the GZ mission for free with TPP. I don't know if this would be possible, Would they just need to let you DL the map and cutscenes? It would make it easier than having to switch discs. Or how about (for no reason other than nostalgia) When TPP comes out, a patch for GZ that says 'please insert disc 2' when you complete it?

I understand the second idea is lame but what about the first one?

I actually like the second idea, but it'd only work with the physical copies.
You too have known loss, and that loss torments you still. You hope hatred might someday replace the pain, but it never goes away.

They could do special copies of TPP with a download code for Ground Zeroes and they could also easily build in functionality to access the Ground Zeroes mission from TPP's main menu. If they really want to make this two parts of the one game then this should be the route they take with it. People with disc copies of ground zeroes would kind of get screwed but that's the way it goes I guess.

There's a part of me that thinks that Kojima will want everyone to understand his story fully, and will include GZ in the TPP release of the game. It might ruffle some feathers, but I think it will balance out from the people who will appreciate the prologue being included instead of having to buy it along with TPP. I'm sure the "GZ is a demo" crowd will feel validated in their perspective, but IMO - I look at it as "I'm a fan of the series and I don't mind paying extra to play GZ early to hold me over".

You are probably right Kele, I think the GZ purchasers need something a bit special though if this happens.

@abud. Thanks mate I reckon it would be very gimicky but pretty cool in a way.

I'm thinking if you have GZ via digitally, you might install your Phantom Pain disk and it will detect GZ and will remove it from the disk's patch and when you run TPP, you would see a menu like Tanker/Plant where both games will be available but I doubt it won't work like that. Can Physical copies of GZ let you do that as well? Any registration for the product?

Don't think so, all I can think of is save data recognition but that certainly doesn't suffice as evidence.

I don't think that Ground Zeroes will be included in TPP, but I certainly do think they'll be bundled together both by retail and digital.

What is to tell about Ground Zeroes apart from Skullface fucking up Mother Base after Big Boss goes to Camp Omega and saving Paz and Chico? I don't think it needs to be include, if people can't afford to get GZ then that is their problem and not Kojimas.

Agree. Although it would only give insight really as to how Big Boss slipped into his coma, if in fact that is how he went into a coma.

How about including GZ in TPP's extra menu as download so both physical and digital buyers would be able to get it? They could include it that way but I doubt it'll happen...

On that datamining thread theres a folder that says demo so i feel that they might update GZ at one point and reveal a demo for TPP that you can play on GZ

Idk if that thing is a gag or not but it has a shot of happening even without the files being real or not

To be honest, I was thinking about that. I think they might still be on that GZ thing and not much of Phantom Pain. If you hack GZ, there is ALOT of land that could've been used. True, that those lands were only meant for background and Game Testing but here's the thing, GZ can be covered by 30-50 seconds of sprinting from one side to the other. But the inaccessible areas of the GZ Map is more than 5 minutes of sprinting which is a bit too big for "testing". But the most Interesting thing about the game is once you reach the end of the flat map outside the game, there is an "Island" far away from the game somewhat visible. Why is that Island in the game is a mystery. Testers normally remove large quantities of map once a game is polished. Sometimes they'll leave ingame items even after final build for those who wish to mod. But large chunks of maps in the other hand isn't really common unless saved for "planned" DLC. If this area is saved for the Phantom Pain, they wouldn't have an unfinished build on GZ. All this can be coincidental but it still doesn't explain the island that's in the game but can't be seen from normal means... and there aren't any other islands in GZ.
