Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes, the next iteration in the long-running stealth series, will still deliver a challenging experience as developer Kojima Productions wants all sorts of fans to enjoy the game by using the correct difficulty options.

Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes debuts in spring of 2014 and developer Kojima Productions has already showcased many gameplay videos that seemed to show that the game is much more lenient towards those who make noise instead of being stealthy.

That's not the case, according to a new podcast from the studio, via MGInformer, as one of its representatives emphasizes that different difficulty modes will offer certain experiences.

"Some people are still worried about, you know, will this be challenging enough? Because they’ve seen some of the gameplay videos, and think it looks a little bit easy. Keep in mind these videos were shot in normal mode. There is a significant difference between normal difficulty and hard difficulty."

Players will still have a core stealth game in Ground Zeroes so they shouldn't worry, apparently.
