Modder makes Hideo Kojima "playable" in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

So... What would happen in Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima was actually made into the "hero" of a Metal Gear Solid game?

Well fans and modders wondered just the same, and with the man's character model appearing in "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain", they went right to work in creating a "playable Kojima instead of Snake" (actually swapping character models).

Thanks to Kotaku and YouTube user Adrien DS, here's the gameplay video to tell the tale.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will be released on March 18, 2014

Fans anxiously awaiting the release of Hideo Kojima's next installment of his epic Metal Gear Solid franchise won't have to wait too soon, as the first half of what makes up Metal Gear Solid V finally has a release date. The head of Kojima Productions has officially announced during an interview with XBox Wire that the prologue entry, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, is geared up for release on the first quarter of 2014 - specifically March 18, 2014 to be exact!

Much like its Playstation Portable predecessor Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Ground Zeroes will once again feature the return of Big Boss/ Naked Snake and his Militaires Sans Frontieres, continuing the events from the previous game and seeing the legendary soldier lead his army in a rescue and retrieve mission in a mysterious black site called Camp Omega located somewhere in Cuba. The game will also carry over gameplay mechanics and base building from Peace Walker, while incorporating some new innovations such as "day and night cycles" and new ways to sneak and chart a path through the story while retaining the main message behind it.
