MGS V PP is 2015.
Also, the complaints are way overblown.
Gone Home, a $20.00 title, was 1.5 hours long and received multiple GOTY awards last year.
Journey, a $15.00 title, was 2-3 hours long, and receieved multiple GOTY awards the year before last.
MGS V GZ, is a 20 (or 30) dollar title, that has a 2-3 hour main story, offers exponentially more complicated gameplay systems, a lot more replay value, and much higher production values than either of those titles but kids are getting all butt-hurt over it because it's coming out before the main game? It's downloadable title with feature-title production values - maybe entitled gamers should just calm the hell down. If they feel so "abused" by Konami for wanting to see some returns on years worth of development of this new engine that Kojima has built, then don't buy it. However, I'm sure they're too busy voting to make a video game company win the prestigious title of "worst company in the USA" to actually spare a moment to think about things logically.
Also, show me a demo of a single player game that includes the complexity, the production values, and open-ended gameplay that MGS GZ does and I'll take note, otherwise calling it a demo is an extreme over-simplification of what is being offered in GZ.
