During the Los Angeles exhibition, Kojima revealed in Metal Gear Solid v: The Phantom Pain there will be fewer movies than there were in the previous chapters of the series. This is because being much more settings past ampire will be engaged more exploring, and then we will have less chance of experiencing cutscene, so as not to break the level of gameplay.

Previous plays could be compared more to film in certain cases, the fifth chapter we should think of it as a sort of TV series episodes where each episode will include a series of missions from non-linear play. All the missions of the various "episodes" eventually will link together and form the history of the title.
