A new ARG video for The Phantom Pain was uploaded and while it didn’t contain much aside from an odd laboratory with lots of beeping (which may have been Morse Code or something, who knows), you can spot this little screen if you pay attention.

This can be seen in the initial reveal trailer for Kojima Productions’ Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes. And that too, quite prominently.

A closer look at the still from the ARG video indicates that the Phantom Pain is a VR Program and that is for “treatment of neurological damage sustained in combat situations”, “treatment of combat related stress” and “enhancement of combat ability following impairment”.

Perhaps this has something to do with the boy seen in the initial trailer?

One interesting thing that has been revealed by the developers is that Phantom Pain is running on current generation specs, that is the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. All footage is shown running in real-time on hardware equivalent to current generation consoles (PS3 & XBOX360), the website states.

They have also released the trailer in full 1080P which you can check out below. The funny thing is that the the official YouTube channel for Phantom Pain is Joakim Mogren. This is a bit odd since normally game developers/publishers name their channels based on the company’s name or the game’s title. Looks like Hideo Kojima is trolling again.

The website also has a disclaimer that they are currently not operating through any social media outlets. Moby Dick Studio and our representatives does not currently operate through any social medias such as Facebook or Twitter, except for YOUTUBE.
