News Program Uses MGS5 Screenshot in Child Soldier Story

By Alex Osborn

News channel Russia Today made the mistake of using a screenshot from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain when reporting on African child soldiers. How embarrassing. 

While this undoubtedly makes the Russian news outlet look a little foolish, it does speak volumes to the impressive visual fidelity of Konami's FOX Engine. 

 

This isn't the first time something like this has happened, as just a few weeks ago Fox News ripped off the BioShock Infinite logo.

We still don't yet have a release date for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, but there's reason to hope we'll be playing it before the end of 2015.
