Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's Extended Trailer Streamed

Konami's official YouTube channel began streaming an extended director's cut version of its 2013 E3 trailer for the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain game on Friday. The company also began streaming quiet and Diamond Dog character videos as well as Gamescom and "Man in the Box" demos.

Konami released an "E3 2014 trailer" this past June. The company's "Kojima Station" presentation also includes its E3 gameplay footage. Microsoft unveiled an Xbox One gameplay trailer at E3 in 2013.
Kojima Productions released a Japanese version of the video at this year's Tokyo Game show in September.


Sony posted the same video in August with a PlayStation 4 box dropping on Snake's head at the end of the video instead of the Xbox One and Steam boxes in the new video.
Konami posted the same video with Japanese subtitles in August.

Metal Gear Solid V consists of two separate games: Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes provides the backstory behind the events in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes already debuted on consoles in North America, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Europe in March. Both games will be released for PC via Steam in the future.

Kiefer Sutherland plays the role of Snake in the games produced and directed by Hideo Kojima. Yoji Shinkawa serves as character and mechanical designer, Hideki Sasaki as CG art director, Junji Tago as technical director, and Masayuki Suzuki as lighting artist.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain features Snake after he wakes up from a nine-year coma. Snake has lost a lot of his abilities, and must crawl through a hospital to escape.

Kojima also teased a Metal Gear Collection 2014 on Twitter in September.
