Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Gets New Details Thanks To Dutch Magazine Preview
Last week we have received plenty of new details on Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, the latest entry of the series created by Hideo Kojima launching this September on consoles and PC in all regions, and more on the game is going to come later this week, with a new trailer directed by Hideo Kojima himself and more.
Some new details we haven’t heard before on the open world stealth game have surfaced online a few hours ago thanks to a new Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain preview which has been published on Dutch gaming magazine PU. The new details on the freedom of action players will have in the game are quite spoilerish so you may want to avoid read them if you want the game to be a complete surprise for you when it launches.
“The Phantom Pain is a game that can also suddenly change in a survival horror game when the Skulls decide to thwart your missions. It is also a game that doesn’t eschew to give you the opportunity to kill/attack African child soldiers and face the consequences. The Phantom Pain is more than a game; it is the first real interactive product which differentiates itself completely in a positive way from anything I’ve been able to play previous generations.(Sorry, Bloodborne. Not even close.) The Phantom Pain feels like something from the future. And to think that I have only played sixteen hours and that you can easily invest ten times as much time in the final product if you want to experience everything. Hideo Kojima, you lovable bastard, you; I love you. If the remaing part of the Phantom Pain is as good as the first sixteen hours, then it will not only become the Game of the Year, but perhaps one of the best games of all time. And I say this while being completely sober.”
Last week Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has been made available for pre-order on the European PlayStation Store. The download size has yet to be revealed but we will definitely hear more about the matter soon. Some new Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain screenshots have also surfaced online last week, showcasing some of the game’s locations as well as characters and more. Unlike today’s new details, the screenshots don’t include any major spoiler so you can check them with fearing getting any surprise ruined.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will finally release in all regions on all formats this September. More on the game will be coming this week during the E3 2015 so stay tuned for all the latest news on the new game from Hideo Kojima and his team.
Thanks, Necrojection

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games
Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.
In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.
According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.
In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!
Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Shift Up unveils the intriguing details behind the physical packaging of Stellar Blade for the PS5
It appears that many
are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.
We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.
