Four minutes of gameplay, but it’s a much longer video than that. The video above, which debuted last night during the Game Awards show, starts with Kiefer Sutherland (the voice of Solid Snake), then goes to Hideo Kojima (the creator of the franchise), and then finally to Tom Sekine, who introduces the first gameplay footage from the “Metal Gear Online” multiplayer mode for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. The gameplay looks great, the stinger is hilarious, and I really enjoyed the pre-trailer talk, especially when Sutherland introduces Kojima as “my big boss.” Adorable.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is expected to be released for the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One sometime next year.
