      3D games were in their infancy still finding their feet. This game dropped where the gameplay characters were near equal to the cinematic models of the character, along with this there was literal hours of storytelling through the codec calls packed in which expanded the whole thing into a literal playable movie. It was even more than a movie-like experience because of the length and density of the storyline. Nothing else compared to it, in my opinion very few games still haven't come close to what this game gave us.

    I was there in 1998 when this game dropped. To this day, it’s remained my favorite game of all time. Even thou the gameplay is dated by modern standards, I feel like that is also part of it’s charm. The over the head view point. The blocky graphics. The constricting control scheme. It doesn’t matter. The heart and soul of this game has remained to this day. The story. The voice acting. The music. The characters. The cutscenes. All of it just felt so ahead of it’s time and felt like EVERYONE gave it their A+ effort. I play this game once a year on my PS2 because of the impact this game made on me. I bought a copy of Sons of Liberty, before I had a PS2, because I HAD to know what happened next. Rumors of a remake have come and gone, if a proper one from the ground up happens, then I say bring it on. If not, then I worry not. For I was there to experience a game that defines a genre to this very day and I can’t thank Kojima enough for bringing this game to the masses. Thank You for this video. I’m so glad to know that there are people out there who truly care about this game as I do.

      The first game was on the NES and that's why Solid is the way that it is. Instead of diving head first into 3D Hideo and others took the old school approach with new DNA. The gameplay is vastly improved with the graphics. It's why it had the impact it did and why we still run forward with old ideas because they can be explored in a new way. Revolutionary doesn't even begin to describe this idea because we keep going back to it. A remake could have the same gusto. Just look at RE right now. What's old is new and what's new is good. 😉

    Playing games for at least 33 of my 40 years, and this still remains in my top 15 or 20 of the thousands I've played. I rented it from the local video store the week it was released and stayed awake all night finishing it around midday the following day. I experienced it all in one go as though I was Snake stuck in that place until the job was done and I'll never forget the impact it had on me. There is only a handful of games that I've played like that, where I felt compelled to keep going and see it through to the end in one session.

    God, metal gear solid 1! I'd say that out of MGS 1 and MGS 2, MGS 1 is much more emotional. The codec calls are brilliant in helping characterize everyone! I especially loved the choice to give up. I felt like it was inevitable making it just that much more sad when I learned you can endure the torture. It gave me a really unique experience that I don't really think can be achieved with most of the games I've played by surprising me. All the speeches at the end of the game were also just so memorable and almost made me cry many times. I especially loved the speech on genes in the credits from Naomi. What a game! It was truly a masterpiece. You also gave me much more to think on. Thank you for that!

    I'm not sure who actually made the decision, but having Greg Eagles originally voice Gray Fox was a stroke of genius. A nod to James Earl Jones as Darth Vader that people seem to overlook. The fact that Kojima removed this from Twin Snakes is a hilarious bit of irony considering his love for US cinema.

    • @minuscaseus
      @minuscaseus Před rokem +2

    I remember playing the demo first from a gamer magazine, and I was in heaven. I got the game when it released, and it sucked you right in..yes I cried when sniper wolf died and the wolves howed in the winter silence. Ooo, that's when ya know you were invested. And that silly joy I got when I finally got the invisibility device ooo. But my favorite outside snake himself and, of course, sniper wolf would be grey fox. He was such a mystery and so cool that he just added to the experience. Mantis, with the taking over the ps controller, was wild to experience back in those days you actually felt dumbfounded. Overall, there are so many memorable characters and feelings and substances that it stays with you.of course, I loved 2 and 3 , 4 was iffy for me. Tho I did enjoy phantom pain. Of course, there was the training game after the first one before MG2. That was cool, just if to play around with grey fox. The remake for GameCube wasn't to bad tho but to experience the first MG is nothing like it and if to do a remake now would be interesting but would have to really try hard to capture the feel of the first. You can have all the fancy graphics, but to really feel like the first is a must.ps you also know your a die hard when you made sure to listen to every radio transmission and thst alone was a wild trip.

    I always liked when badass fictional characters tend to be on the "shorter" side(by american standards). Typically male badass characters are 6'+( 6'3" tends to be the favorite). Now I've heard this is only partially intentional, as to the Japanese, 5'10" is actually considered to be tall. Which is why characters like Leon S Kennedy are 5'11" and the tallest RE protagonist(Chris) is 6'1". I think the varrying of Snake's height is them trying to scale it up to meet the american standards of "tall".

      Agreed.

So to me the Metal Gear story would be the one that is vague enough to do something like a duel Vantage viewpoint story arc involving both Young and old Snakes..But that's my wishful thinking..Metal Gear 2 can be fully realized and transferred since the lore and its script is right there along with my favorite piece of music for its title sequence. This way they can bring Keifer Sutherland and David Hayter to do the roles. Or just bring back the VO from MGS 4 if Kiefer won't return..

    I remember when I played the demo from PlayStation magazine I knew I needed this game as soon as it came out. My friend at the time didn’t think it was going to be a good game but I convinced him it was amazing and he grew to love it. This game final fantasy 7 and resident evil 2 are some of my best gaming memories then later mgs 2 and 3 were just as good.

    MGS is fine the way it is. What they need to remake is Metal Gear 1 and 2: Solid Snake. From pixelated 16 bit overhead gameplay to fully rendered 3D 4K gameplay with its same storyline intact. That is a challenge and something worth a remake.

    Growing up with siblings means you share everything. Getting quality game time was hard but one afternoon my dad let me play this from start to finish. For 6 hours I had the big TV all to myself. It was here when I heard the after credits phone call and it got me really excited for the sequel. It was also my first go on extreme. I just liked the sound of it at the time. Had no idea the game was actually harder. 😅

    Only commenting so I won't get spoiled, but I just played through the first hour of Metal Gear Solid for the very first time recently. Controls are something to get used and polygons for days for the cutscenes, but the gameplay itself, soundtrack, cinematography, voice acting comes together and brings a level of intrigue that you're kinda surprised a game like this can be brought to life in a such a way, especially all these years later.
    The off putting feel of the graphics is literally thrown out due to how well directed the cutscenes & even character interactions on the codec are. And the voices that deliver said interactions, immersing you into the story. It's amazing how a game this old ages so well. I've been on & off on Metal Gear over the years, but this is one I intend on finishing & then go beyond from there.

    If not a remake, then a port to pc for the entire series because this is probably the most difficult series to emulate flawlessly, especially mgs4. It's really sad.

    Doesn't need a remake, but a re-release tweaked to run on modern systems easier. Figure out a way to get rid of the pressure sensitive buttons on the newer games too. Need XInput support to be a lot better in the series as well.

    The Twin Snakes was the Remake though. David Hayter took a huge pay cut to bring back the Original Cast. The phoned in performance from Jennifer Hale and lack off VR Missions did ruin the replay value.

    I remember getting a free demo of MGS from Pizza Hut back in the day before it originally released. Anybody else remember getting PS1 game demos from pizza hut back in the mid/late 90s?I played that demo over and over for months until my parents got me a copy of the game. It is an all time classic and was super hyped leading up to its release. It was the game that changed what people thought about video games and what they could be. Before this we only had SNES and Genisis. It was a massive leap forward in gaming, maybe one of the biggest leaps forward ever.

    33:26 Exactly! They knew and it's fine! This is exactly the reason they'll never remake this game. I don't want them to ruin its legacy by chancing these character designs, dialogue, and humor for the "modern audiences". God damn, I hate that term.

  • @garyt3hsna1l82
    @garyt3hsna1l82 Před rokem

    In addition to the MGS series people should really jump into the authors kojima heavily references and celebrates in this series specifically John Carpentir who serves as the visual inspiration for revolver ocelot and who wrote and directed the escape from la and new york films, big trouble in little china, and the thing - that the character Snake Pliskin who is same character from the games played by kurt Russell. If your younger and you havent seen kurt russell doing snake your in for a treat. additionally the character Trautman from rambo is a ringer for roy cambell, there are dozens of other references from cinema from dr. strangelove, to the predator but what cements it all is kojimas cohesive worldview that gives all characters meaning while not falling into any good guy/ bad guy tropes, these games are political masterpieces reinforcing the idea that in a world with finite resources, there are no absolute enemies just relative ones with competing goals, "Tomorrows ally is yesterdays enemy, and vice versa".

    MGS may not need a remake but it could definitely use a port, currently the best way to play it is on aging hardware with more then likely a burnt disc (since the physical discs are getting rarer and rarer with each passing moment) OR play the GoG version which is functional even if it's lacking a lot of features (doesn't play nice with non 4:3 monitor resolutions, can't really emulate the psycho mantis fight, is lacking rumble support almost entirely). The original is fine but as time goes on that experience is going to be harder and harder for people to actually play.

      They are re-releasing the games on all systems under the legacy collection, that will serve as your update to controls. You don't have to buy the remakes if you don't want to but many others including myself would love to see all the originals released and remakes.
