Can You Beat MGS1 ENTIRELY in First Person View? 

I just subbed to your channel. Especially because most of your videos have thousands of views, and you only have 328 subs? 329. People, help the creator. Is not that hard.

Its amazing how impressive MGS1 looked on the ps1 with a full 3d world with good looking floors and ceilings. Shows how important good art direction is

This really makes you appreciate the beautiful art direction and world they built. It still looks phenomenal to me two and a half decades later.

RU-vid’s algo nailed it with this one, I’ve never seen a first-person-only MGS run. I didn’t even know you could walk around in first person. Take my like and subscription.

This makes me want to play Metal Gear Solid

Honestly I had no idea you could even move while in first person, I've only ever used it for looking around

MGS 1 is my favourite game of all time, so to see it be played through snakes eyes is fascinating and makes boss fights like gray fox and raven even more intense. Gutted you can’t fight liquid in first person though, that would have been special! Great video man. Hope you plan to make a mgs series with this concept!

This makes me want a VR version… like an actual VR version

Holy cow, I never knew you could use chaff grenades in the grey fox fight. Still learning things about the game lol

The ninja fight is so funny. He's totally kicking your ass the whole time. It's like watching an action comedy.

22:50 I remember being handed an annotated map of that level in elementary school and building on it more and more until it was complete; other kids who were stuck thought it was incredible. You see I used to be with it... then they changed what it was, now what I'm with isn't it... and what's it seems weird and scary to me... GIMME FIVE BEES FOR A QUARTER

For those wondering, the PS1 Integral version also had the option to move in first person view, but it was a Japan release only afaik (this version comes with 3 discs)

Two things made me laugh more than the rest; Using the Frozen movie cover for the Pal key, and hearing Snake get punched and making the same grunts as the guards lmaooo 🤣🤣 just subbed 👍🏾

22:25 I have beaten MGS1 over 20 times (yeah I was counting) as a kid, and I never thought of that! I remember thinking "oh this tank is now missing" rather than realizing it's the tank I fought lol. Great video dude, fun idea and funny one liners and memes! I watched the whole thing, thank you! BTW the first person view definitely helps with the tunnel section, I remember that I couldn't finish the game on extreme without using it.

Snake fist fighting a literal ninja: Nah, I don't think CQC would be useful here Snake fighting his 10,000th mercenary: *CQC time, baby*

*_Why hasn't anyone else done this yet?!_* so simple it's positively brilliant! _Somehow I appreciate MGS even more than I already did._ Great Run!

Absolute joy watching this, MGS is the series I grew up with and it's great to see neat ideas on it to this day. Great production, too, well edited and condensed and your commentary is stellar.

The algorithm did good today! Great video. I can barely beat this game in the intended way.

@13:33 "Also, look at this cute playstation" proceeds to get knocked down! hahaha

This was amazing! More Metal Gear please!

I love that you revive this old classic! Back in the days, I heard they originally planned forMGS 1 add on special missions to introduce first person mode when you play with Gray Fox.

Dude this was a fantastic video. I'm a huge MGS fan, played the opriginal over 50 times and this was really fun to watch. Your presentation style and editing is great. You threw in a few jokes but didn't over-do it. The pacing of the video was good, without being obnoxious jumping around. Honestly this was a perfect video for this type of subject

Nice video. Watched it all the way through and subbed. It's kinda crazy seeing all these familiar environments from an unfamiliar angle.

Feeling sick today, glad this video was recommended. Pretty cool video. Picked this up on gog a fee years ago and it was the first time I played the og Solid(I played the hell out of Twin Snakes)and playing this gave me such an appreciation for the series. Same for when I finally decided to play through MG1 and MG2(freaking amazing games, that kind of gameplay back then?? How did people beat those games)

What a great recommendation! This game still looks incredible, even moreso in first person when you can see the environments in detail from a whole new perspective. I'm daft for any sort of "Can you beat..." challenge run, and I'll happily sub if more are on the way! :)

This video deserves more views, I love "can you beat x" videos, and MGS in 1st person is pretty cool Clean microphone, good content, this is great

More challenge videos like this would be great

This is super legit, I had no idea you could do more than just stare at things. Makes me want to see if Vagrant Story is doable like this somehow.

I'll be looking forward to hearing the "small channel" line in a year or two when rewatching this and seeing how much you've grown

So with Ocelot’s torture, what I do (as well as for other button-mashing QTEs in other games) is place my thumb against my index finger (between the tip and closest joint) and use my wrist to press the button as opposed to moving my thumb or finger itself. Don’t know how many other people do this but for me it’s the most comfortable way to mash buttons quickly

I like how playing in first-person really highlights how blind the guards are -- and why MGS3 is so hard if you fail to use first-person view to scout ahead; they can see you _off-screen_ in the top-down view, but these poor Genomes have to play by the "you were offscreen, you didn't see me" rules from the original days.

Tbh this is better than most videos. Your pretty good...

Certainly an interesting idea. I never played the PC version so I've never seen Snake move in 1st person in MGS1. It's kinda jarring. Well done on the challenge :)

this was great! do all the metal gears in first person! third person games in first person is a great niche. subbed

The algorithm is finally working! I love this vid

I've never seen your channel before but you've uploaded a great video that RU-vid seems to favor, and it looks like your channel will grow substantially. Congrats!

RU-vid is finally recommending less known channels. This one with less than a 1000 subscribers was a jackpot!

The slow turning speed already hurts my hands. Nicely done.

I'm high as fuck, practicing my mixing and I have your video on the background. I would love it if you uploaded full playthroughs. Haven't looked through your channel but I subbed cause this is my favorite game of all time and I love seeing it from a (literal) different perspective.

Brought so many memories back watching this! Fun fact: if you can’t find the thermal goggles, you can use the CIGs to see the lasers 🤞🏽✅

that was some fancy playing, you're pretty good

some parts of the game are so hard to activate FPS mode, specially after receiving a hit. Kudos to you man

Oh boy, this actually makes me wanna replay the game after a long time! Liked and subscribed!

One of the best games I ever played. I have completed this game many times (more than 10 for sure). Good old times if it comes to gaming.

First time I've seen the Mantis boss in first person (since normally it switches to Mantis' view instead of Snake's), this would have been impressive even without the radar!!!

I almost forgot how good a game can sound when you take the time to choose the music. The iconic, "Huh... who's footprints are these?"

MGS2 Substance had some VR missions that were played entirely in first person. If there's a mod or cheat to play the whole game like that I'd love to see it. There's a recent mod that lets you use MGS3 Subsistence's 3D camera in MGS2 on PC but I'm not sure if it lets you move in first person. It's also fun to play MGS3D on Citra with a 60fps cheat and MGS4's control scheme. It might let you play in first person too.

What a chad omg wp man very nice video subbed and liked much love !

This was a great video, I'd love to see more from you. I see you did a short videoabout resident evil 1, I'd love to see you do a challenge playthrough (or normal playthrough) of that game as well

Excellent production value for your channel size! Looking forward to mgs2 and 3 runs for this challenge or different challenges in general.

Gonna dust off the ol PS1!! I honestly missed hearing Snake getting hit, the alert status, the guard that says "there here is!"

I really enjoyed this not like other videos filled with talking nobody cares for just comedy and useful tips here and it's good

Great play man! Ive completed in 1st person too, and had a hard time during the Rex fight. I used a more complicated strategy. Really appreciate yours!

Great video, I haven't seen anyone look at FP stuff much besides speedrunners before now, and they definitely don't do the whole thing. I'm looking forward to more MGS challenge stuff. MGS2 on PC does have a way to do FP in the main game (via modding), I think it ends up being similar (easier for the most part), although like in Blast Furnace there's a couple of things that can't be done. Thought I'd explain what happened with the weird PAL Key cooling/not cooling thing (probably in a bit too much detail!)... The key has the 3 states normal/cold/hot, then there's a separate "heat" value between -15 minutes (cold) to 0 (normal) to +15 mins (hot). Usually, if a cold key goes over 0 (or a hot key goes under 0) it turns normal; a normal key turns cold once it hits -15m, and hot once it hits +15m. Then you have that same amount of time to get it to the Command Room. Also, a normal key will reset to 0 at the start of every area, so you have to do all the heating in one go. Most of the time, the Blast Furnace and Warehouse heat/cool the key at a 3x rate, so it would've taken 5 mins to go hot the first time you tried it. But, when you're at the appropriate point in the story (i.e. Warehouse after normal key entry, and Blast Furnace after cold key entry), as soon as you enter one of those areas, you get swapped to a normal card and put at 12 mins for free. So it should only take 1 min to change in those cases. The weird thing happens when you enter a "12-mins-free" Warehouse with a hot key. The two values (key state, and heat) only actually change once per second (technically, it's every 30 rendered frames since the game was launched). So when you entered Warehouse and checked the key immediately, it hadn't had a chance to change yet and you saw a hot key. But about a second after that, it would've changed back to normal. That's why it mysteriously went from hot to normal by the time you reached the end of Warehouse that one time, while it was perfectly fine later in the game.

Man, that music takes me back

Finally a fresh face with real interesting challanges

Like many, I had no idea you could lock into first person like this in the GOG version. Since you brought this to the attention of so many fans, I'll bring up that you should be able to destroy the gas masks on the Mantis busts to do the same effect as the player 2 trick. I assume that's still in the GOG version and would be a lot better than having to go from controller to keyboard for shooting.

Awesome video man! Keep up the hard work! Love this definitely subbing can't wait for the next one!

If anyone wants to play MGS1 in First Person View Mode on the PSX, you can do it by beating the MGS1 Integral version on any difficulty level (exept on Very Easy, which doesn't unlock anything), and then go to Special on the title screen, there you will find the First Person View Mode.

22:51 Hilarious! Got me right in my sides!

You need way more subs and views, this is seriously impressive!

totally worth a sub well done man!

Awesome content my dude, you earned this sub!

Great challenge! Well played

+1 Sub,I love these stealth based game like mgs,Growing up playing mgs 3 is the reason why.Keep it up

“He hit me with the Seymour Skinner” how can I not subscribe after that? 😂

Underrated channel! You’ll blow up soon!

27:25 that is incorrect. The body armor should be when you used the Nikita for the fist time to disable the electrified floor. Body armor should be there :D Lots of things that I never knew like that hole you found after beating the tank boss. Always learning! BTW you can also drop lots of claymore mines before sounding the alarm on the tower. You will get lots of time before enemies start spawning before you. Edit: looks like you can also get the armor later on which I didn't know as well. Oh well :p

Holy shit this mic, it sounds like he's reporting from a wiimote, that's amazing

That's one of the coolest thumbnails on RU-vid

39:40 REX’s design also just works around the graphical limitations incredibly well. Its design inherently blends in with blocky graphics.

Mgs integral had a first person view mode

The filthy frank cameo😂😂

New sub because this is what I was looking for and RU-vid said this was the best. Great job fren looking forward to more vidya from you.

Reminds me how impressive the game back in 98 was. The graphic and mechanic were awesome for the PS1. FPV feels like it is natural intended for the game.

FROZEN PAL 😂🤣 43:12

classics wise, I’d love to see you do something with the original Syphon Filter. Also with Tenchu Stealth Assassins on PS1, both amazing games from that era. No idea what the challenge could be though.

Came for the metal gear solid video, subbed for the "wing it" joke after beating raven

This game even almost 30 years later still looks stunning !

Pretty entertaining run. subbed

This could be great for replaying MGS1 with a good VR headset.

I was the first in north america to get the Big Boss Ranking back in 1999. (still have my save file just before the jeep escape on my PSX memory card) I know I will receive hateful comments or people will simply dont believe me but trust me i got my first white hair for this achievement back in the days

Nice video mate

Nicely done! Subbed

There is an alternate way to beat psycho mantis by shooting his statues

6:05 I actually like that you can shoot from a first person perspective in this game.

Great job, subbed. love this kind of challenge vid :)

Nice one ! This popped up on my recommended. Liked and subscribed dude!

the whole way through this i was humming the music to this game. what a awesome sound track this game has. to this day i cant sneak without humming this games theme music

Cool run thx for sharing. My favorite mgs games are 1.mgs psone 2. mgs 4 3. Mgs 2 4. Mgs 3 5. Mgs pw 6. Mgs 5 gz 7. Mgs 5 tpp

24:25 Comedy gold moment, if that was unscripted then you’ve just gotten super lucky

MGS PC First person would be nasty if Konami decided to do this with lightgun options. Think PS1 Project Horned Owl (if anyone remembers) or TimeCrisis. BUT instead its Metal Gear. I get its not a shoot em up game but ths changed my perspective quickly.

Ooh very cool

I really enjoyed it! Thanks for the video. Btw. I think you could have done a longer intro and outro, but this is just some small feedback ;)

That's interesting way to play. It's easy to see what's ahead, but you can't see behind yourslef like in 3rd person mode. Also, these poor bastard guards are sooo blind hahah

You're truly the Ronnie Pickering of MGS

This gives a different perspective of stealth and well if you haven't played the game, then your going to find it challenging. But as many have. It would be different of course, would give a totally different expiernce.

Fitting that the bit you had the hardest time with was the part (Liquid hand to hand fight) you couldn't be in first-person :P

"nothing personnel, kid" +1sub

1st person mode challenge is interesting, on Ps1 JPN Integral you have to complete the game 1st before you can do that challenge, on PC outside the ending related items/costumes can do the challenge from the get-go (however it baffles me that the Duel song is not in the PC version for some stupid reason). Edit: Yeah... in PC version the "controller port 2" is the keyboard, but just like the original PS1 and Twin Snakes, you have 3 paths to defeat him, dying a couple of times and destroy the statues, the port intended way or whiff 7 hits and the 8th connects and repeat the process over and over until you win (this last way is a literal glacial slug... but funny enough, it works).
