Introduction
Metal Gear Solid 5 (PS4) - 14 Minute Gameplay Part 1
Content
The area ahead is under total soviet control.
Miller's been captive for 10 days, I'm much timeless.
The weather will clear shortly getting used to it after nine years on ice solo infiltration of the soviet maine ground forces should be the perfect one.
Normally there will be a tutorial here, but we'll go ahead and skip that for today you can't have much left in him.
I give him three days tops if we fail and he dies, we lose our chance of revenge, but we need more intel.
If you just go charging into dolan daehar you'll be putting both your lives at risk, see what you can find out.
First, the soviets have other outposts, not just the one you saw.
Afghanistan is a big place.
I expect you'll become quite familiar with those binoculars, as you plan your next move.
How and where you make it well, that's up to you from here on out you're on your own you're, a legend in the eyes of those who live on the battlefield.
That's why you have to handle this mission yourself.
Put those nine years behind you and return is big boss.
That's how cars would want it I'll be sending additional intel by radio stay sharp, not one of miller's bodyguards survived, but they were good.
All we found on the scene were their corpses and knees, they'll be missing them and there is only hope of getting them back now.
Go let the legend come back to life all right now we transitioned seamlessly from cutscene into gameplay, and everything you're seeing today is running at 1080p 60 frames per second on a playstation 4., as you heard during the cutscene.
Our mission here is to rescue miller, but we're going to show you a shortened version of that mission today, prepared just for e3 to show you as much as we can in the amount of time that we have so to start with.
Let's go ahead and open open up our I droid, and we see here our target area, but before we charge in, we should probably scout out the area.
So we'll go ahead and mark a vantage point on our map here placed yeah.
We can use sculpt things out and yes, your horse will do this in the game from time to time, but we'll just ignore that and move on now.
As you know, phantom pain is an open world game.
It's roughly 200 times the size of ground zeroes and we're just going to show you a small glimpse of that today to give a taste of gameplay uh.
It is a wide open world, as you can see a lot of things to do a lot of places to explore.
It's also a living world populated by wildlife and up ahead.
You can see some sheep on the road here and the landscape is also dotted by human settlements, as you can see up into the right all right now, you notice the background.
Music has changed.
It's gotten a little tense.
That indicates a danger nearby.
So let's go ahead and take a look with our binoculars, and here we have a couple enemies.
So we'll go ahead and mark them.
Then we'll make our approach uh.
That said, if we're up on a horse like this, it's easy to be spotted, so we'll use one of snake's new abilities.
You can actually hang out the side of the horse and lower your profile and get close enough for the shots all right.
His buddy did notice that uh he went down so we're gonna use that to advantage now see if we can sneak up behind him and hold this guy up all right now that we have him held up, we can interrogate him, get some info spit it out and he's telling us where we can find a container with raw materials, so we'll check that out in a bit, but first, let's go ahead and get rid of these guys and what you're seeing on the screen right now is the fulton recovery system, players who played peace.
Walker should be familiar with this system.
Uh those guys are going to head back to mother base and it looks like we have a curious visitor here as well.
Perhaps he wants to go back to mother base 2., so let's go ahead and help him out here all right he's down.
So let's go ahead and attach the fulton and off he goes all right, then we'll check our map, and we see the container here that the guy was talking about so we'll check that out.
It's not too far out of our way note that the guys we fulton back there will head back to mother base and become a part of your army, and you can assign them to various groups within mother base to do tasks for you and as for the sheep, I'm sure we can figure something out all right.
So here we have the container and we see the guy here, there's a guy guarding it.
So we'll approach carefully here now we did mark our enemies, so you can see him through objects such as this wall, and it doesn't look like he's planning to go anywhere anytime soon, so we'll go ahead and lure him out and it's one of snake's new abilities.
The knock is back in phantom pain.
You cannot perform this using your prosthetic limb, which means you don't have to be next to a wall.
That said, if you are next to wall, you can perform some pretty brutal cqc like so, and peeking out from behind a wall and shooting enemies is now faster and smoother than it was in ground zeroes.
So we'll go ahead and get rid of these guys and see.
If we can now recover the container, all right, we gotta be sure to get off the container quickly there.
If we were on the container, when it went up uh, we actually would have been fultoned along with it and gone back to mother base, which is a technique you may want to use from time to time.
But of course that does abort the mission.
So we don't want to do that for today's demonstration, all right so we'll move on- and you may have noticed- also there's a weather report that came in over our idroid uh saying that there's a sandstorm nearby and if you look up at the sky, you can see that it has gotten a little gray now and we see some sand kicking up here.
Santa storm is just one example of the dynamic weather that we have in phantom pain, whether we will evolve throughout the day and uh during a sandstorm.
Of course, visibility is low, which means that enemies will have a hard time seeing you, but in turn you also have a hard time seeing where you're going.
So you have to be careful as you navigate through the landscape.
All right.
There may be guys like this in hiding and go ahead and take him taking him out now.
You could fulton this guy if you wanted to, but we won't do that today, uh because of the sandstorm, the fulton is influenced by weather and during high high wind conditions.
It can actually be low enough course, and if that happens, the guy you're filtering could end up dying.
So we don't want to do that.
As I mentioned, visibility is low, but since we marked our target, you can see where we're heading so we'll just head towards the marker on screen.
The weather will clear.
Now our idroid is telling us that the weather is clearing and the four guys who fulton earlier have made it back to base.
But before we move on uh, you notice there's something shining beneath this tree.
Let's go ahead and check it out: okay, so raw diamonds, uh.
These raw diamonds are an example of raw materials that you can gather around the map.
These are scattered throughout the landscape and when you pick them up, they get sent back to mother base and add to your gmp gmp being the currency in phantom pain, which you can use to upgrade your base and also develop new items and equipment.
All right.
So now we're at a vantage point that we set earlier and off in the distance.
You can see our target in yellow there, so in there we should be able to get info regarding miller's whereabouts.
So let's go ahead and take a look using our binoculars.
We see the target here and there are some enemies we'll go ahead and mark them.
Okay, so we've gone ahead and marked the enemies that we can see.
That said, uh we don't know if there may be more enemies in hiding in buildings or around corners uh.
So let's call upon mother base to help us out here.
No mother base there's an intel unit that can scout things out for us and what you see in the background here is actually mother base.
All the guys we filtered earlier get sent back here, and if we take a look at our staff list, you see that we have four new members added to the bottom here, so we'll go ahead and assign one of these guys to our intel unit.
Note also that the ui is three-dimensional, so you can move it around like so by moving the controller right so he's in the intel unit.
Now he'll scout out some info for us enemy presence detected and there's his report.
Let's go ahead and take a look at our map.
Now you'll notice, these red areas here these indicate anticipated enemy locations, so we'll go ahead and mark those and take a look with our binoculars and sure enough.
You see enemies entering these areas, so we'll go ahead and mark them as well.
Okay, so we've gone ahead and marked all the enemies here and note that the base is well guarded, so it might not be a good idea to sneak in at this time.
We could try, but it'd be very difficult.
So in this kind of situation it might actually be useful to wait until the guards change shifts, and you could do that just by sitting here waiting for a very long time, but we also have an item that comes in handy in situations like this and we call it the phantom cigar.
The phantom cigar is a e-cigar that snake can smoke to help pass the time you can start fast forwarding time and stop whenever you like, keep in mind that it is an e-cigar, so it produces no ash and the smoke you see on screen is actually a hologram.
Now, looking at the sky, you see we have real-time cloud simulation, all this being done in real time, and you see also the sun and moon.
Do move through the sky realistically and shadows from vegetation is cast realistically on the ground, all thanks to the power of the fox engine.
Shortly now, if we pan over the right, you can also see that the enemies we marked earlier are changing shifts depending on the time of day.
And if you look at our map, we see these blue triangles here which indicate enemies who are sleeping so depending on the time of day.
If enemies are off their shift, they may be sleeping, and you cannot use that to your advantage.
As you plan your infiltration route, all right, so we'll go ahead and stop here again.
We could stop at any time and honestly, it probably would be best to sneak in during night, so you have darkness uh to provide cover, but today I want to make sure you see, what's going on so we'll go in during the day and help us out we'll go ahead and place some markers here now.
These markers will serve as waypoints as we sneak through the base and make sure we don't get lost on our way to the target marker placed okay, so we've gone ahead and set our infiltration route.
That said, it is broad daylight, so it'll be hard to sneak to the base.
At this point in time, so let's go ahead and once again call upon mother base for some help in mother base.
You have an r d unit and these guys can help you up by developing new types of items and equipment.
So for today let's go ahead and have them develop the ultimate in stealth technology, which, as every metal gear fan knows, is the cardboard box.
So we'll go ahead and place that order and have it dropped to our location there.
It is so we'll go ahead and open up this box, and now we have our customized special edition diamond dogs box.
We're ready to go so we'll go ahead and head down the slope here, keep in mind that this is just one possible approach.
Phantom pain is an open world game, meaning you can approach targets from any angle.
Any direction, there's just one possibility that we're showing you here today all right as we make our way out here to the open.
Let's go ahead and try out our new cardboard box right now.
Players who have played metal gear before are obviously familiar with the cardboard box, but it has been upgraded for phantom pain with some new abilities, such as the ability to pop up, take guys out and quickly dump.
