Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain makes the cardboard box better than ever

If I say the words “Metal Gear Solid,” a few images probably pop into your head. I’m betting that one of them is a cardboard box, the preferred sneaking device of series’ hero Snake.

Of course, using a cardboard box to trick enemies seemed plausible in the 8-bit days, but it’s gotten a bit more ridiculous as the franchise’s graphics have gotten more and more realistic. The series’ next entry, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (coming out for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3), is the most life-like installment yet. Would the cardboard box still come back, or would it just seem too ridiculous?
