Metal Gear Solid 5: The PhantomPain E3 2015 stage demo

September 1st can't get here any quicker

Konami has just released their new E3 2015 stage demo. In the demo, which you can watch above, is pretty meaty, lasting 40 minutes long. Before anything starts, the narrator jumps straight into the microstransaction dilemma, he stated that these transactions won't be a 'pay to win' option, but its more of a helping hand for players who might not have the time to explore the expansive open world MGSV has to offer. Majority of the demo shows off the free roam ability and how you can come across missions on the fly. We also got to the loadout screen, weapon customization, and some new buddies to call in during missions. Metal Gear Solid 5 is looking mighty fine, Kojima is absolutely leaving it all on the table.

Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain is set to release on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC on September 1st, 2015.
