Metal Gear Solid creator and director Hideo Kojima took to the stage of the PlayStation press conference and revealed a small preview for his highly anticipated open-world title, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
Kojima, known for his quirky sense of humour, showed off the capabilities of the iconic cardboard box in MGSV, which includes the ability to distract soldiers with an image placed on the front of the box, diving out of the box and, most importantly, using it as a distraction to manoeuvre around the enemies’ location.
