Everything about this intro eminates a feeling of something so much more serious and legit than anything I'd ever played before. It portrays the tension of the high stakes so perfectly. I remember that feeling of apprehension so clearly. This shit was serious and for real this time.
All the dialoge spoken by Colonel Campbell, just came right out of my mouth as he was speaking it. I've played this game so many times, it's all but engrained in there. MGS is an outstanding game.
This is both a legend and a curse. A legend because of how good it is. A curse because you can never play another game like this, all other games aren’t even comparable to begin with.
When I played the game for the first time, I felt that it was made very professionally, seriously and is advanced. Other games next to it seemed so simple and uncomplicated. The moment when you have to look at the CD box to get Meryl's codec frequency seemed just brilliant to me, and most importantly it was naturally placed in the dialogues. The plot, the atmosphere, the music, the graphics - it was hard to find a better game at the time.
yessir! I was in 7th grade and played the pizza hut demo, I begged my mom for this game, im 37 in 2 days, not a huge gamer anymore, but there is something different about this game then any game I played before. The Charectars so original, Revolver Ocelot? cmon LOL
A long time ago when I was about 16 (34 now), my dad showed up with this game for me. Metal gear solid. I had heard about it but didn't know much about it. I started it up...and when that little tune started at 0:07, I remember thinking "oh shit...this game is gonna fucken kick ass..." and it did, I loved everything about this game and have been a MG fan ever since. so finding this video and hearing that tune all these years later really took me back...sick nostalgia.
I never played any of the MGS games but man I could only imagine how stoked I would have been to have popped the CD in and getting an almost cinematic introduction in a generation where games were still figuring out how to implement that kind of stuff.
I remember playing the demo before the game came out. This was so far beyond any cinematic sequence I had seen in a video game at that point. I coulda shit my pants, but I held it in.
If this ever gets remade/remastered with the same exact voice actors in the same exact way ill die happy but honestly I think this masterpiece of gem doesn't need to, just needs to be locked away for ever and remembered as a absolute classic masterpiece
To anyone wondering why the Government won't give FOX-HOUND the remains of Big Boss, it's because *SPOILER ALERT* Big Boss was still alive during the events of this game.
***** It's confusing, I wasn't good at MGS 1, 2, and 3 cause I was like 3 when MGS 3 came out but I played a lot of MGS 3, the entire middle east mission, the entire south america mission, my brother did the Europe mission, and he beat the game and Shadow Moses.
It's been 20 years since I played this game, and this video brought me right back to when I was playing it. It felt so real then. I miss this game so badly. It's because it was different from the rest then. It was kinda like it was real but just a little off from our reality. The way hideo made it, it was so hard to figure out what was off about it, but it drew you in, made you want more. And THAT is why after 24years, this game is still compelling and awesome, despite the graphics of the day. Bring the graphics up to date, and get as many of the original voice actors as possible to do the voice work, and I would bet this game would be a best seller yet again.
+Joakim Bergendahl mgs collection all 3 games remade with hd texture and 1080p resolution , all running at 60 fps and with the all the tweaks of the past like the subsistence camera on mgs 3 , they even include mg1 and 2 as a bonus (not remastered tho that would be crazy work)
thats what im talking about , thats the closes remaster you will ever get, especially since konami is nuking every franchise they have at the moment expect a remake to be done by a inexperienced company and be ready to be disjointed
I remember when Colonel Campbell was telling Solid Snake the names of the members of Foxhound i couldn't help thinking they sounded like the names of some X-Men or GI-Joe characters hahaha
Does anyone know how to get the song that plays during the introductory FMV? The one that starts right under the credits and goes through to Snake emerging out of the water.
At the time of release I’d been itching for a special forces type game and this totally scratched that itch.There were no games on consoles that captured that genre at the time.
I remember well when I first saw this game my brother came home with the game and I saw the cover and was desperate to try it and my parents was not happy when they saw me
When I heard about the Resident Evil 2 remake I instantly dismissed it. Somehow they did it. I couldn't believe how good it was. I wish they could create that with this . . . I would die happy.
I am going to be honest, at first I was pretty confused on what Shadow Moses was until I beat the game. I was so excited I didn't get the intro even tho I watched it 3 times
Yes with an emulator and a good graphic plugin configuration you can get a good quality in full HD , ithink I will post videos of ps1 games in Full HD , you'll see that it could be nice =D
Some things are missing because this was recorded on an emulator, it isn't quite the same as the original. Most notably, the absence of the underwater shader that makes everything shimmer and appear green-ish. You can see it in the start of this version, which I'd guess was recorded on an actual PS1: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R4I0l4o65JQ.html
that's the first of the solid series, but yes you are right it's technically metal gear 3, as it's the sequel of the metal gear games for the MSX2, not the NES since all the NES games were made without Kojima approval.
VERY IMPORTANT Searching for a PS1 game that has like a very futuristic piramid building in its like intro or something, i was thinking that was metal Gear solid 1 but i dont think so :(
The first time i played this, it was a demo i remember, and i didnt understand shit, i thought "this must be a big boy game" as i was 8 years old in 1998 - I did not know this game was going to be a legendary game
This is an awesome game, and we all know it. Hideo created some of the best characters and scenes in gaming history. But really, on-site procurement of equipment? They get him there in a big ass Ohio-class sub. Just saying ;)
retrogamingdad is done to not give away who is effing you, to make the soldiers paranoid, as their weapons are used against them, to ease the insertion, as there is no other teams involved. But mainly because it's a game with a learning curve and a designed difficulty setup... 🤣
The English script for MGS1 owes a lot to it's sole translator/localiser, Jeremy Blaustein. You should read up about it, a lot of stuff that we love about the game is his doing; for example the phrase "on-site procurement" is something he added, not Kojima or his team. Sadly they didn't take kindly to his adapting, and he didn't touch the later games. Which does explain why MGS1 feels more grounded and real, and after it the series got.. hammy..
If it weren't for this game, my life would be SOOO different. I wouldn't have improved my art to what it is today, I wouldn't have the motivation to work for a living that I have, and I wouldn't have met my fiance...
