Meanwhile, the so-called Moby Dick Studios was working on a different game, The Phantom Pain, which was not revealed as a Metal Gear title until much later.
"You might be able to erase the markings, but the memories will never disappear."īack when Metal Gear Solid V was first announced, it was only known as Ground Zeroes. Still, at least having some hands-on experience with VR Missions gives some extra context to the scenes in Metal Gear Solid 2 which discuss Raiden's own extensive VR Training, a metaphor for the gamer having played through previous titles. Which is very few people, especially back then.
It's a hodgepodge of ideas that appeals mainly to fans who prefer the MGS's gameplay to its story. There's no story or narrative to speak of, and the missions are often boring, mind-numbingly obtuse, or obscenely difficult. Unfortunately, VR Missions is more of a cool bonus than a worthy Metal Gear Solid game. American audiences never got the enhanced version of Metal Gear Solid - with Very Easy mode, first person movement, and a Sneaking Suit for Meryl, among other changes - but we did get the VR Missions, sold as a stand-alone title. In Japan, 1998's Metal Gear Solid was eventually re-released as Metal Gear Solid Integral, which featured numerous enhancements to the main game, as well as a second disk packed with hundreds of "VR Missions," gameplay challenges set in a virtual reality environment. "War as a video game what better way to raise the ultimate soldier?" Legend has it that Hideo Kojima had a chance meeting with one of the developers of Snake's Revenge, who recommended that he create a true successor to his 1987 classic, which ultimately led to the development of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. Snake himself is given the rank of Lieutenant, and is portrayed using a knife, a weapon the canon version of the character wouldn't use until Metal Gear Solid 4 in 2008 (although Big Boss would use one in MGS3).ĭespite being the undisputed black sheep of the Metal Gear family, Snake's Revenge does have a pivotal role in the behind-the-scenes history of the series. Snake's Revenge features characters from the original game, like Jennifer and Big Boss. After the western NES port of the original Metal Gear became a surprise smash hit, Konami called for the development of an immediate sequel, targeted towards the western market. There are only a few things Metal Gear-related that are unanimously rejected by the fandom, but 1990's Snake's Revenge is one of them. You destroyed Metal Gear 1 and made me a cyborg. We're including non-canon spin-offs like Ghost Babel and Snake's Revenge, but not updated re-releases like Substance and Subsistence. With the announcement of Metal Gear Survive, the first new MG title since Kojima's unceremonious firing, we've decided to take a look back at Every Metal Gear Game, Ranked Worst To Best.

Developer Kojima Productions and publisher Konami had a bitter falling out early in 2015, culminating in the dissolution of Kojima Productions and the outright firing of series mastermind Hideo Kojima, along with the cancellation of all of his projects, including the eagerly-anticipated Silent Hills. However, despite Metal Gear's continued success, things behind-the-scenes were not as amicable as they seemed. Series creator Hideo Kojima was there all the way in the beginning, and ushered the series through generations and decades of evolution for the Metal Gear saga, culminating in 2015's Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Since 1987, the story of Solid Snake and his complicated family tree has been one of gaming's most popular soap operas. Metal Gear is one of the most revered sagas in the history of video games.
