Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Review - What A Thrill
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 03. 2022
- Following the breakout success that was 1998's Metal Gear Solid, Konami and Kojima quickly started to work upon a sequel - a game that would prove to be a benchmark for Sony's at-the-time coming PlayStation 2 console.
Barring the surprise change of protagonist from Solid Snake to Raiden and contentious plot, there's very little debate about whether Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty was a worthy successor to the original. With multiple solid entries in this tactical espionage action franchise, expectations were naturally high for whatever Kojima and his team were planning to do next with the IP.
Kojima wanted to develop the next installment in Metal Gear Solid for Sony's upcoming PS3, but had to develop it for the PS2 instead since there was still a long time before the console would come out. Legions of fans waited with bated breath for a long time, and 2004 finally saw the release of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
You see, unlike 1998 - the market wasn't completely devoid of any promising stealth games on consoles. Konami's offerings were directly competing with the likes of Splinter Cell - despite the many differences in the design of these games. Still, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater absolutely floored fans and critics who unanimously praised the game for its gorgeous visuals, highly dynamic gameplay, and of course - the memorable boss fights.
MGS3 is the perfect balance between espionage and Kojima's weirdness. It's one of my favorite games of all times. Perfection.
Best ps2 game by far
Climbing the ladder with just the theme song playing is a perfect example of that weirdness. What a amazing game. 10/10.
*Chefs kiss*
@@error4159 It was something that doesn't look good on paper "now the player climbs up a ladder for 3 minutes straight", but worked amazingly well accompanied by the music and directly after an intense boss fight.
@@owjbehdobw4711 I agree. Also the lyrics of the song are super cheesy on paper but they work in the bat shit crazy Metal Gear universe.
This game is timeless. This along with RE4 and GTA SA were truely revolutionary games. They carried videogames to be as big as they are today, production wise they are still better than most games nowadays.
Code Veronica is also timeless. Shame it doesn't get the love re4 gets.
@@yosefvargasx
I prefer CV over RE4 but i can't deny the technical revolution RE4 made.
Yeah Re4, San andreas, MGS3, Morrowwind. were really important games.
**cof cof** Splinter cell chaos theory and Half Life
Try again kid. RE4 is the moment the series started tanking. You're right about MGS3 being timeless though; unfortunately it didn't create a kind of revolution in gaming the way Grand Theft Auto 3 did. If only we could live in a world of MGS3 clones instead of GTA clones
This game is one of the best metal gears. Definitely deserves hall of fame status
The goodest
It’s not one of the best it is
@Fatih the whole franchise is weird
@@fatih7961 It is however the closest MGS got to being a stealth game. Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake i consider Kojimas masterpiece interms of stealth innovation
My opinion this has one of the best opening themes in a game, still good.
I see Snake Eater, I click it!
Me with anything metal gear
That era where every game release was introducing NEW gameplay mechanics. From 2012 and after the game industry is called Clone wars.
Yes sir
The ending hit so hard for me , it was so real and sad af, brought a tear to my eye, one of the best games I’ve ever played
This video brought back some good memories. I used to do speedruns of this game and cleared it probably 100 times on my old PS2. I was 20 when this game came out i think, and it still holds itself for its age with its soundtrack, (aged) graphics, spy story, and characters. If there is one MGS title to ONLY play, this would be it hands down, the other titles are great but the replay value of Snake Eater is many times over the others imo.
uhhh what?
Did you even play MGS 3?
This was the Golden age of gaming imo, perfect balance of technology & talent.
No wonder this period spawned so many timeless, beloved games. I hunted down a ps2 slim on ebay just to play this incredible Masterpiece along with a dozen other amazing titles from this era
Companies were allowed to be creative back then. Probably never have a time like that again
@@SunniMerlotdlc what’s that? this is the golden era
The reloading speed is exhilarating.
Ageless, timeless masterpiece. To the people who never played this you truly missed out. Damn game was chaotic, suspenseful, weird, scary, sad, and so damn gratifying. Suggest playing the MGS3: Subsistence version though!
Facts.
Most people won't even realise, but Kojima and his martial arts expert conceived an entire martial art for Snake to use (CQC). It's amazing what depth it has and made me interested in japanese Ju-Jutsu that I practice to this day. Amazing game!
One of the best Cold War games imo. Really should be remastered with upgraded graphics and ported to new consoles and PC
Yeah for sure it's annoying that if I wanna play the "HD" collection I have to pull out my 360 and even then it doesn't have mgs1 it has 2,3 and peace walker. My thing is if I'm going to pull out and dust off an old console I might as well play them on my ps2. Because honestly I don't really care about peacewalker and I have the subsistence versions of both games. Honestly I wanna try metal gear 3s online, I never got to try it but it seemed so interesting seeing it on the back of the box as a kid. If they're going to re remaster them they should add the multiplayer.
E
So you basically want the 3DS version ported to other platforms.
Hey just hold on a little longer hopefully it comes out this year!
This game should be remastered and released on Xbox and PS5
That would be freaking awesome
It is.
It will be , can't wait
I'm so glad I got to grow up with metal gear solid.
I bought a PS2 slim for THIS game! Even bought it again for Subsistence. One of my top five favorite games ever! Even after all these years, what a thrill...
I cannot believe this is a PS2 game. The graphics and animations look and feel pretty recent but what?! It was released in 2004?! Man I loved this game so much and thank you reminding me of that today.
This game among other releases (DQ 8, Shadow of the Colossus, Okami, FF12, etc) around the last 1/3 of the ps2 lifespan, that had me convinced video games really did not need to improve graphically.
This game doesn’t need a remake. It’s aged so well.
The gameplay, the stealth, the feeling, the plot, all the little intricacies, the politics, a masterpiece of a game. When I think of realism and survival one of the games that pops up into my head is MGS3. It doesn't have to be a 4k graphics game with in an in depth crafting system to be "survival" and it doesn't have to be a hardcore FPS to be "realistic." The way you interact with the world, despite how linear it is, was so immersive. Managing your resources on harder difficulties, deciding between risking it for an item or just sneaking past danger, all the different ways you can go about every area, tripping an alert and just barely staying alive, and so many more amazing mechanics and experiences all bundled into a PS2 game. Imagine that.
I played this so much growing up and the graphics have held up so freaking well
My favorite game of all time. Just a pure masterpiece for its time. It’s gameplay might not be timeless, but man is the setting and presentation of this game amazing even to this day.
It should be noted that MGS3 did not come out with the rotatable camera shown throughout this video. That was added in a re-release, over a year later
So I was born in 1995, and I got to play games like this very early in age because I had a cool grandpa. I played and beat both MGS3 and RE4 the year that they came out. RE4 and MGS3 are my favorite games of all time for a good reason. I've never had an experience from a video game like these two since then. And to experience these games at such a young age made me fall in love with both franchises to this day.
MGS3 is the best game on PS2 and one of the best of all time. I have more than 400 hours on this game. Love it.
That theme song snake eater was classic!
I hope it's true that this game is getting a remake . Would be fire depending on them keeping it to the source
Mgs3 remake with UE5 would be awesome
I'm thinking the same thing. It's definitely time for a 2022 Remake of this bad boy.
It doesn’t need a remake. The 3DS version is supposed to be a modern updated version and it barely changed anything because the game has stood the test of time. Unlike MGS1 it’s not outdated besides controls and graphics which were changed and updated in the 3DS version.
@@donkeykongisytpooping3002 Shut yo mouf!!! We need a new Metal Gear, and MGS3 next gen with the gameplay of MGSV would be the GOAT
@@Evin07 Metal Gear ended a long time ago. You shouldn’t beat a dead horse. Also MGS3 with MGSV gameplay would be broken. How exactly would you balance it?
I will always love MGS3, I must have played it all the way through 10 plus times and I’m sure I will again.
The deep lore with real world footage and espionage to bolster the feeling of authenticity, character development, passionate attention to detail; all these things are missing in so many triple A games of today.
I would love a remake of MSG3 Snake Eater for the PS5.
As far as gameplay goes, and especially time spent in the game at this point... V might be my favorite in the series, even if the story was underwhelming
But every time I think about proclaiming that phantom pain is my favorite, I feel dirty, because this game is not just my favorite metal gear solid, but it was one of my absolute favorite games that generation.
I wasn't even the biggest metal gear solid fan. My first entry into the series was the second game, which was just a total mindfuck of an introduction to metal gear solid. I still enjoyed it though, it was really cool to play. But I only ever beat it once other than that all of my time was spent replaying the tanker section as snake
After that I played the twin snakes on gamecube, and I absolutely loved the hell out of that game. Beat It multiple times.
But then Snake eater came out, the game play is better, I like the setting better, I liked all of the stuff with your camouflage system, sneaking around the jungle setting, I liked the more simplified story compared to even the original metal gear solid story, and I liked big boss so much more as a protagonist. Snake is a badass, and he was definitely really cool to take control of.
But big boss is just more charming, he's a little bit naive in this game, and has this cheeky sense of humor about him that just makes him more endearing to play. And the story hits that much harder by the end of it knowing who he's going to become
This game is just amazing. The boss fights might have been a bit of a step down from the prior to games overall, but experiences like the long walk by all the enemies you've killed to get to the sorrow, the beautifully poetic fight against the boss at the end, and then especially the fight against... Well The End. That might be one of the coolest boss fights in video game history. There's so many methods to beat him that are all pretty unique. I would put him right up there with the psychomantis fight as far as metal gear boss battles.
I've heard rumor that this is actually the one they're going to remake. I have mixed feelings about that. This is a game that I would want to closely mimic the original in design and layout if it was remade, don't try and force open world crap into it. Open world design barely even made a difference in phantom pain, all you're going to do is just fly the helicopter to all the different sandboxes to mess around in.
This game is so perfectly structured in both level design and narrative. If they could really just kind of keep that but update the visuals and controls... I would never play another game in my life. As it is I do find these older titles a little tougher to go back into. Really three would be made a lot better for me if there was just a damn crouch walk. Trying to replay metal gear solid 2 starts to make me wonder how I ever dealt with that camera
But no matter what I will always hold mgs3 as one of the greatest games ever made
MGS 3D has PW's controls, including crouch walk and over the shoulder aiming.
@@Alex_Logan22 yeah but that requires playing it on a 3DS with an abysmal frame rate.
I think that should have been revamped to come with the HD edition
@@adamdavis1737
It was after the HD ones. The framerate and stick controls aren't so bad on the 3DS XL, just the original 3DS.
@@Alex_Logan22 either way I'm not about to buy an entire console just to play one game
@@adamdavis1737
True, 3DS handhelds are a hassle to get/expensive. But MGS3 is one of the main reasons why I hold onto mine and got it to begin with.
Here after the remake is announced. Hypeddd
This was and still is my favorite metal gear title.
It's strong from beginning to end.
That being said, I really should give 4 and 5 more play time.
It just really felt like all aspects of the game were tight.
The story was less esoteric than other MG titles and so I enjoyed the narrative much better, from beginning to end.
The ending, (to this day tied with my favorite DQ8).
The mechanics were solid as well and made the game slick to play).
The environments, set pieces, and graphics were phenomenal as well. Furthermore, the boss fights were great (I usually dislike boss encounters). I hope at some point, Konami pulls their head out of their ass and offers a proper next gen remaster of all the 3d MG titles. I would love to see this title at 4k 60fps.
I would gladly pay 60.00 for a release like that.
You’re in for good news
Definitely one of my favorite mgs games
Metal Gear Solid is competing with Splinter Cell? Wrong Splinter Cell is trying to compete with Metal Gear Solid
I remember when they remade 2 and 3 and released them on the vita.. I miss that thing. Such a shame Sony forgot about it.
Have you gotten rid of it? I still have mine... And I got it two years ago.
Got it on PS3
The game is legend , but the sound track is masterpiece 😍😍😍
I did a perfect stealth run of this game a few years back, and it was gruelling as hell, but it felt so good at the end.
Dragging Eva at the end of the game without being spotted was the toughest part.
The toughest part is when you’re trying to shoot Kerotan while on a motorcycle.
@@suikogarden The bike portion was tough, but patience and memorization is key. Just line up your shots early, and make sure you save after every Kerotan/scene transfer so you don't have to keep repeating it over and over again. You'll get it, just keep trying!
This game has the best codec conversations, lol. It doesn't get enough credit for perhaps being the MGS with the most sense of humor. If you spin Snake around in the menu enough times, he'll throw up in-game! It's little secrets like that, which highlighted a new level of detail Kojima would strive for. Food could spoil if it stays in the inventory too long. First-Person View is diminished after you lose your eye. It's pretty incredible all the finer things he cared about that other games don't bother paying attention to.
This reload time is exhilarating!
One of the best games ever. When I played it on ps2, I remember I was so obsessed with stealth that every time I got the alarm message I started from the last checkpoint again. The same thing I used to do with splinter cell and hitman. Good past times
Story wise this title was really the apex and connection of the series, driving the following games. So amazing and I couldn’t get enough when it came out. Hopefully we can get a remastered version on new system.
This and MGS1 are the best of all series...
it only took me 20 years later to finally play this franchise up to MGS4 now but holy crap how good was snake eater!!
This game was nothing short of perfect. The absolute best in the series! A prequel yes, but still out right amazing! I haven't played V yet, not sure how I feel about Big Boss being voiced by Kiefer Sutherland.. but 3 is the best so far. The story, gameplay, and just the experience are phenomenal! I wish I had the ability to make myself forget things, just so I could replay it again for the first time. It does still have great replayability.. idk how many times I've beaten it, but would have no problem doing it again right now. Every time I play through I still find out something new. To me this was the peak of MG. We'll see if V changes that.
I absolutely loved this game, I beat it on hard without the use of the radar, doing it that way makes it way more immersive and intense, I even beat the End naturally, with a tranquilizer no less!
I never used the radar period.
MGS3 could be remade into a killer-app! To freely drop into the jungle and make your way to the fortress at your own pace (and meeting the Cobra bosses randomly) could work amazingly! Top that off with the GREAT story and characters.... :o MGSV+MGS3=MGS++
Having played all the MSG games, MSG Solid will always be my #1 and have a special place in my heart. Playing MSG2, I was disappointed in the story line and the old Switch a Roo with Raiden.
When MSG3 was announced I was a bit hesitant and not as excited. But damn did I love MGS3. It's one my #1A and the game was a blast to play. Mechanics were great, the lore, story line, all of it.
My favorite game of my favorite series. Hope if they do remake it, they make it larger as well. Would hate it to get the RE3 treatment and it's over in 3 hours.
All those boss fights, especially The End and The Boss (which is my personnel favorite), The ladder when the music starts kicking in, just so epic.
Snake Eater is the best Metal Gear game of all time. The game will always hold up no matter how many years pass. A masterpiece in every way. 🙌
I think this is my all time favorite game. There are a few other games that come close but this is at the very top. I just love the setting of the game. When it came out & I played it for the first time I couldn't believe I was controlling snake in a freakin jungle! I wish there were more games that took place in the woods or in the jungle like MGS3 . Where the environment really feels genuine not just some stiff block like landscape. I wish that this series would keep going & going. These games never get old.
it's been almost 20 years and I still listen to the soundtrack of this game sometimes and remember all the feelings of being 18 years old and playing as big boss... that music was brilliant... having a big composer for the soundtrack in games wasn't the norm in the early 2000s. Between MGS and Final Fantasy X I got through my teenage emotions XD.
Check out 8-Bit Band awesome videogame cover of Snake Eater and many more, they have some very good Persona 5, Mario Kart and Chrono Trigger covers as well 😎👍🏾
I loved Mgs3, a lot of people call it the best game in the series for a reason. The graphics, music, story, characters, gameplay, replay value, boss fights, acting, ending, pacing and everything in it pretty much. I do thin the cobra unit could have been more flashed out and some of the gameplay can be a bit annoying. As well as starting of a bit slow but overall excellent game.
Been thinking about metal gear a lot lately. Must be something in the air 🤷♂️
Well the franchise is going to turn 35 this year.
A remake of Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 3, & remastered Metal Gear Solid 4 on the PS5 would be awesome.
I love snake eater such a great metal gear solid game and a excellent prequel to the metal gear series
This game is still one of the best 18 yrs !!! Later
Playing through that intro and then getting the Snake Eater title song is my best gaming moment.
Kojima and only kojima must remaster this game, not remaking like re3
Graphics will always age, play mechanics will always evolve, but with an outstanding narrative and characters, brilliant art direction, and just incredible attention to detail and a sense of style audio and visually, you have the recipe for a timeless classic.
Whats really crazy is that even in this video when the R1 prompt appears on screen my right index finger twitches.
This is the greatest video game of all time. Revolutionary and captivating.
I cracked up when I saw ocelot outside during the ending
just played it and finished it days ago!!! going through all of them now 🙌
I never played MGS3 before and almost bought the MGS3 stand-alone release on PSN Store. But what is holding me back is the upcoming MGS Delta: Snake Eater possibly releasing this year. From what I see the core gameplay is the same just redone in Unreal Engine 5.
So with that being said, is it recommended that I hold off for MGS Delta, or not?
On ps2 I unlocked the invisibility cloak on the hardest difficulty by getting through the game with no alerts.
I was always able to apply my imagination to this game while playing that made it fun everytime I played it which was many times.
06:42 The school I work at has calorie mate in the vending machine. Never knew why I was inexplicably drawn to it before watching this video and unlocking a core memory.
I've beaten alot of games over the years but beaten this 1 just felt great
Nostalgia
Hands down my favorite Metal gear game! In my top 5 all time honestly
In my opinion it's always been my favorite Metal Gear game. Quite possibly my favorite game of all time.
In my younger years I always preferred 3 but as I've got older I now prefer 2. MGS3 did get me very interested in Cold War History. I love MGS MGS2 MGS3 and MGSVTPP. I'm not a fan of 4 that much or PW though
Still am amazing game to this day and it is hallmark of why the series is so beloved!
I hope in the remake, Snake shoots that guy while he's twirling his guns.
6 shots that thing only carries 6 shots. The Makarov carries 8
Yes love this game and I have it on my ps vita and still play it from time to time
Some of you just ain’t gonna understand why this game is probably the best game ever made next to Metal Gear Solid 2. I personally have this deep connection with the Metal Gear series. Just honestly the best damn games ever made.
Never played this entry as couldn't afford at the time. Now with emulator on phone will definitely download.
So excited that a remake is in the works right now
I didn't know what was going on within Metal Gear Solid 2 at the time, I never got a PS2 until 2002 and about a year later, I had to borrow Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty from an aquantant of mine.
That same year, I learned that Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes was in development and I wanted a Gamecube to play that too and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
Wish the actual Game Footage was 60 FPS.
Mgs2 is hands down one of my top 3 favorite games. I never got to play snake eater when it was new. I have it emulated just need to find some time now !!
My introduction to MGS and amazing game. I remember watching the long trailer in a demo back then got hook right away.got the game the first day it come out. And honestly one of the few games I completed in the ps2.
Im trying so hard but the controls are so bad..just gonna wait for the remake
2022 just beated 5. but working on fob..... but going back tomorrow will be a blast . cant wait
I'm always amazed of the MGS3 HD version. It's so beautiful looking today
Don't like the camera tbh prefer the original
Proof that a third entry in a trilogy isn’t always the worst!
Chaos Theory also the best Splinter Cell
Still have a pic of my foxhound rank and platinum trophy, def a top 3 game of all time in my book: RIP THE BOSS ❤️
We should make a drinking game
Take a shot every time the narrator says "metal gear solid 3 snake eater"
My favorite game ever made right by the side of re4. This game was revolutionary
I beat this game like 14 times as a teenager.
Personal take, But Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater is still my pick as the video game that most perfectly balanced masterful narrative storytelling with Incredible gameplay.
You know what new mgs game would Be awesome? Having a mgs game about The boss where you play as her, and you get to know her better
My favorite game and movie. Still cry every time I watch a playthrough
Well, it was competing with other stealth action games, but back then every stealth action game was a copy of Metal Gear Solid so there was little competition. Furthermore, I don't think in the game industry there's much competition because buying a game doesn't prevent you from buying another game. There might be competition in terms of comparison, reviews etc but not in terms of marketing. Splinter Cell in particular wasn't a direct competitor because they were games released for different consoles and back then it wasn't normal to have different consoles unless you were a nerd adult or a very spoiled kid.
5:48 - I would add that there was also a fixed camera (in this video the footage is from newer versions where they included a modern free camera, but it wasn't the case in 2004) which made predicting enemy positions harder.
9:34 - This statement hurts so much when I think of what they did in MGSV.
10:54 - Now that Kojima doesn't work at Konami anymore I really hope they won't remake it!
I dream of a bossfight vs The End in a remake with modern gameplay, graphics and no loadings 👀
There actually is a metal gear in snake eater, when you meet the engineer before you fight the FEAR, he shows you the design for metal gear Rex
I love watching videos of people revisiting the mgs series
They have to give us an remaster or a remake. It's too good of a game. If the current generation gamers played it it would take the internet by storm. It's literally a 10/10 game.
All the metal gear solid games need to make a 4k comeback.
The ending was so amazing..one of the best ever made
One of the greatest games ever made, and in my top 3 of all time.
Best mgs game. One day they have to remake this
If only studios liked to make games like this still. Now we only have sports and COD/zombie games for console smh
