Retrospective: Metal Gear Solid - BeefJack.com

BeefJack: "MGS was an eye opener for me: it was the first Japanese-made game that made it onto my shelves; it introduced me to a different method of storytelling, and how the ways in which a game looks on the surface and how you play it were perhaps second to a really well told story, especially when the game in question has cliff-hanging suspense and multiple endings. It made me want more from the experience I got with videogames, and it led me to other, older Japanese franchises such as Namco’s Ace Combat series, Square’s Front Mission RTSes. MGS had a maturing effect on me: my large collection of Dreamcast and PS2 NTSC imports are a testament to this."

Metal Gear is like the even more awesome part of G.I Joe that was never aired on T.V, when we were kids.

rockleex5737d ago (Edited 5737d ago )

Other than graphics.

Another great thing about MGS1 was that the story was cohesive and most cutscenes were pretty short, but had a lot of impact because of the great directing by Kojima and the awesome voice acting that most games this gen can't even compare to.

It had wall hugging, prone, crawling, climbing, shooting, punching and kicking, throwing, choking, etc.

It took the rest of the industry two more generations to catch up in only a couple of areas.

Best game ever! I was 11 when i first played this game and completed it countless times. I still have my copy with the Silent Hill demo in it (which ive never played).

Hideo Kojima admits Metal Gear Solid motion capture was “trial and error”

Hideo writes: "We experimented with magnetic motion capture in "Metal Gear Solid: Integral", and in MGS2, we adopted optical motion capture for the first time. Was the shooting done about 25 years ago? Well, back then, everything was trial and error, but every day felt fresh and exciting."

It's not going to be the same without him regardless so honestly it would probably be better just to try to do your own thing while staying in the same genre and general gameplay style.

just_looken640d ago

This but also the story is wrapped up only thing to expanded on is another mgs rising or spin offs.

-Foxtrot640d ago

I mean they could have done an alternate timeline directly after MGS2 which just tells a new story, that way they get to continue Snakes journey while respecting Kojimas final chapter, his Universe would still be untouched.

Maybe in this new game Snake didn't age

They will eventually try to continue the story, it's a given so I'd rather have them doing an alternative timeline than messing with what Kojima has done.

just_looken640d ago

@Foxtrot

You mean before shadow moses as that is when he was injected with fox die anyone knows that.

If they went this route then it would open up a flood gate of crap the topics they covered the deaths blood scenes would never work in today's modern games.

TheProfessional641d ago (Edited 641d ago )

The story in metal gear solid 4 was already a huge step down from the first three. Then the story in V was minimized and totally forgettable. One of Kojimas art directors could definitely make a solid metal gear sequel.

Also when you compare Stranding to Kojimas previous games he could easily be a Neil Druckman type where most of his best ideas were from people he worked with.

For example all of the MGS covers and the art style associated with Metal Gear wasn't even created by Kojima.

just_looken640d ago

comparing Neil Druckman ahole coffee fetcher to someone that worked in the industry from the days of msx should get you a ban.

Michiel1989640d ago

just cause he made one game that you didn't completely like?

just_looken640d ago (Edited 640d ago )

@Michiel1989

Because he took a ip that he had no right to say he created but does then at every interview he act's he is the father of naughty dog and a god at game development even the tvshow i will not watch.

People that worked there sense the 90's crash days were thrown out over 85% from the last count 2 years ago of the original team is gone majority left when he took over.

Sony looked at all the people that made jax/crash/uncharted/tlou leaving naughty dog went meh then praised neil gave him the keys to the kingdom. Sense then the entire team has been a dam joke they only made 1 new game in 6 years just a port studio now.

Oh i also like the tlou2 mp mode they promised that was changed then cancelled but hey tlou2 ported 3rd time for pc pay pay pay again like skyrim.

Fuck ND fuck naughty dog 2.0

Michiel1989639d ago

mate... you already compared him to a guy that was 16 years older than him and then ask why he hasnt worked in the industry as long as kojima. Time exists.

Do you really think all of ND will let Neill flaunt around if he didn't have a severe impact on how the game turned out? So you're saying the rest of ND is stupid that they're playing along with his masterplan to take over ND.

It's pretty obvious from your comment you're just salty about tlou2. You didn't like a direction he took the game in, stop acting like he's a terrible human being.

So they should keep making the games they make now and never make anything else...cause thats how uncharted and Horizon came about, oh wait. TLOU would never have existed if you had your way, they would be making jak n dexter 13. I rather have them try something new and fail at it than never try to do anything else ever.

I think someone could take the torch, but they’d really have to be a mega fan and understand the narrative and quirkiness and humor of MGS and just Kojima’s design principles. Make bosses that revolve around “themes” and “gimmicks” and bring freaking David Hayter back for the English dub.

Tankbusta40640d ago

I have been saying for years that Kojima is not needed to continue this franchise. Revolver Ocelot could have a trilogy on his own with the established lore and it would be fantastic

MehmetAlperTR640d ago

No Hideo ! No MGS !!! Just try to work with him.
