Draw Distance in Ground Zeroes.. Please improve it for The Phantom Pain.; Draw distance is really distracting and ruins immersion.

I personally think they should never have gone for the last-gen systems. I have a feeling the sales will be:

1. PS4
2. XBone
3. PS3
4. X360

But yes, I know it was initially planned solely for last-gen, but still. It's time to let go of the past and let the new systems shine.
you think this game will sell more current-gen than the last-gen versions? i find it to be an interesting claim nonetheless.
Most multiplat games that are on both current and last gen have sold significantly better on current gen. Mind you these numbers are not 100% accurate but they make a valid point

Can't really blame KojiPro for developing for current gen considering how long ago development began.

Yes. Draw distance, and fix the framerate on last-gen consoles. Make it stable 30fps. Damn, it goes down to 20fps some points, it's unnaceptable.

Yeah, the pop-ins are one of the worst things for me. However, having said that, I think it speaks highly of the overall quality of the game if draw distance turns out to be my biggest issue with it. I think it really only bothers me because the rest of the game is so awesome and immersive, it's weird having grass pop in about a foot or two in front of Snake's face (granted, that's on the PS3 version for me). Or maybe I'm just used to Kojima's MGS games being put together so well that this seems distracting.

I did notice some pop-in while watching the gameplay demo at 1080, but, honestly, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. And it'll be a lot worse on the last generation. There's a part of me that hopes Kojima will take as much time to polish the current gen versions as much as possible (since I'm buying a PS4 for this game), but I'm expecting that it's just something I'm going to have to learn to live with.

Although, I guess I won't have to learn to live with it. I already know how. I grew up playing games with fog and pop-in and it was ridiculed, mocked, and lamented but ultimately accepted because it was the best that developers could do at the time. Nothing's perfect, no matter how much I want it to be.

Vanilla Coke is better. I'm the shite one.

I'm not going to say yes or no. On PS360 it is to be expected but both the Xbone and the PS4 versions can do better draw distances full stop. Still, I'm not going to say they have to draw their attention away from other things just to improve draw distances.

Theres no way that they are going to be able to make it on last gen without serious issues.
They really should just stop the last gen version imo.

They're not going to drop current gen development. Also, plenty of people aren't willing to spend hundreds of dollars to buy a console they don't want for a single game.

And lose a potential 100+ million customers? The PS3 and 360 have sold more than 150 million combined, and you think it would be a good business move from Konami to not offer the game to those?

they have sold 150 million combined however statistics show ground zeroes sold more on current gen consoles, the fact is if they cut out ps360 then they loose money obviously from those consoles however current gen will sell more.

Actually, the systems would probably sell even better if a majority of the games were only on PS4 or Xbox One... that's why they call them system selling games.. I had a 360 but ended up getting a PS3 instead for MGS4 and now I've got a PS4 for MGSV.

This game is not gonna sell MGS2 levels. and PS4 (the general fanbase console) sold like 6/7 milllions already.
He should drop last gen, its hurting the current product imo, its looks VERY behind compared to 2015 games.

Last gen might not sell as many copies but nothing would be gained by dropping it now, everything in the game has been designed to be possible with last gen consoles, with enhanced level of detail for the new generation, it's too late to start redesigning the game to something that wouldn't work on last gen consoles.

I've said this in another thread, but I doubt this is something that can be fixed. The near and far clipping planes are intentionally smaller in order to get the graphics to look the way they do. Basically they could probably fix the pop in issue, but it would cause a degrade in the graphical quality.
