A new English language version of the opening cinematic to Metal Gear Solid 5: Phantom Pain's Ground Zeroes prologue gives us our first real experience of Kiefer Sutherland at the helm.

Identical in almost every way to the original video from earlier this year, the cinematic footage now has the English voice cast in place. Since Kiefer's appointment as the voice of Snake/Boss was a secret for so long, it's nice to finally hear him at work behind one of the most iconic characters in gaming.

We've been seeing a lot of Metal Gear Solid 5 footage lately (not that we're complaining), but it feels a bit unfair considering we still don't know when Phantom Pain is going to arrive. Hopefully the persistence of these trailers means the sequel is coming in 2014. If we have to wait longer, we just might have to start our own private military corporation to take over Kojima Productions just so we can play.
