'Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain' Revealed at GDC 2013.

“The Phantom Pain and Ground Zeroes put together is Metal Gear Solid V"

Today, courtesy of GameSpot, fans got their first look at the full trailer for "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain" at GDC 2013, which confirmed that 'Ground Zeroes' and 'Phantom Pain' are two halves of a whole (and more, as seen below).

The technology of the Fox Engine was also shown off as the main-point of the conference, with photo-realism being the engine's defining factor, as well as an advanced lighting system that was shown in great detail.

A quote from lighting director Yoshiharu Nishiyama almost perfectly summarized how photo-realism and the actual art of a game should go hand-in-hand.

"To reproduce the real world, we need to study the real world- at the same time, however, creating captivating visuals is an artists primary job, and replicating the real world may not necessarily be what a game needs, so to create a quality product, an artist's eye is essential"

The internet is still tyring to piece together all of the things shown in the 5 minute trailer for the game; but one thing is for certain, Kojima Productions is pushing current gen technological boundaries (MGS V is set to release on PS3 and X-Box 360) and we have a lot to look forward to when we reach the next generation
