All Articles: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Hideo Kojima treated audiences to a 30-minute gameplay demo of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain during this year’s E3 Expo. Now, Konami has posted a recording of a playthrough from “Jackie” and you can check it out above (is that really a flying ram?).

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll… actually, you’ll mostly just cry as you realize that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is currently without a launch date and likely won’t be released for a very long time. But when it does, it’ll be available for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.

“We’ll make diamonds from their ashes. Take them into battle with us. A shining light to our brothers in arms. Even in death, we are Diamond Dogs.”

Hideo Kojima unleashed another epic trailer for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain during last night’s Sony Press Conference. Konami has since uploaded a Director’s Cut version of the trailer that adds the above quote, which serves as a kind of unifying theme to the entire trailer.

A playable version of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will be available at this year’s E3 Expo for the first time. And the game is currently scheduled to appear on the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One at some unknown future date. Unless it’s some kind of secret code from Kojima, the “Coming 1984” flash at the end of the trailer is likely just a reference to the game’s setting.
