“Finished the mix," Kojima said on Twitter , as translated by Metal Gear Informer . "Like last year, this trailer contains no explosions, collapses, destruction, gunfights, car chases or people mobbed by reporters. Nor any zombies, aliens or giant spaceships. Just men descending into madness. A lot of fans said the 2013 GDC trailer was tough to watch. This one may be even tougher.”Despite the amount of information that has steadily released regarding the game, Kojima warned fans against expecting MGS V anytime soon , voicing his fears that the game may be " too big to finish. " The numbered installment will be roughly 200 times bigger than Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, which released March 18. IGN said that despite its short length, the intro is a solid introduction to The Phantom Pain.For more pre-E3 coverage, read IGN's E3 Hopes and Dreams feature , in which editors discuss the titles and announcements they're hoping for most when the event begins June 10.
