*Gameplay starts at 50:00 minute mark*
As promised, Hideo delivers the new gameplay footage for the world to see.
This gameplay starts off in a cinematic sandstorm that eventually clears up, which leads to Ocelot letting Big Boss know of the legend he’s become. Before Ocelot wanders off back to Mother Base, he lets Boss know he only has a few days to save (Master)Miller, but to scout the area before rushing in. Here we finally see a seamless transition from cinematic to gameplay and it is a beauty.
We also get a look at the fulton recovery system in use with soldiers, cargo containers and animals. The user also lets us know that if you use the fulton recovery system in a sandstorm, the course of recovery may be altered due to the harsh weather conditions.
Another feature shown is the talked about ‘Phantom Cigar’, we see how time passes by when using it and how enemy soldiers on their post change while time flies.
Sean also shows us how your Diamond Dogs soldiers will be useful during missions. He calls in a few reinforcements and a helicopter strike on an enemy base.
Sean also shows off the newest features added to the infamous box. You can pop out the top of the box to take an enemy out, slide out the side to abandon the box if spotted or walk up right behind an enemy and use the fulton recovery system on an enemy.
Before ending the presentation Sean shows off their version of Mother Base, which eventually becomes under fire. He also let’s us know that based on the relations you make during missions and online plays a part into your Mother Base being attacked.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain COMING SOON. Hopefully we get a release date soon, specifically for this year after seeing this gameplay.
