The Video Game Awards are here and the first reveal happens to be something creepy. The Phantom Pain has been announced by a very intense trailer featuring a protagonist with a missing arm. While trying to escape a flaming hospital, our unnamed man avoids gunfire and sees many of his fellow patients get gunned down. The game then starts to turn from the horror of violence into something wonderfully psychological/supernatural.
Burning people and what appears to be a floating Psycho Mantis-esque ghost appears before the trailer ends. The game visually reminds me of Metal Gear Solid. What kind of game The Phantom Pain is going to be remains a mystery.
I’ll update this post when details become available. But it looks like this may just be another Hideo Kojima game using FOX. Let’s hope that this is a horror game and not just some creepy viral marketing for a new Metal Gear Solid game (not that I’d mind!).
