Both the Hayter interview and the gameshow show how the media monetizes atrocities, the octopus show constantly has a crappy headline showing something bad even when admiring nature, the woman in the cooking show acts like a common shill by directing attention away from his dirty work to play it up and spin it as desirable (quite badly I might add), the exercise show promotes exercise drugs as healthy, even having a woman comment how insecure he is and how it's all her cure while essentially jingling keys in your face with ridiculous graphical choices, and the commercials promoting the PMCs, these massive military mercenary organizations who kill people endlessly are framed like perfume commercials, movie trailers, car commercials and so on. Knowing what you know about today's media, it should ring a bell with how they operate and how bad they actually are in real life.
You might think these ads are crazy, but there's actually reason why they're like this. Think about it, in the age of this "war economy", dosen't it makes sense that everything is marketed through war?
@@Ronin11111111 Nah, they're saving it for the sequels, 2021 and 2022. Even if things get better when 2020 ends, not all the problems are gonna go away all at once.
Also i got the message from the food's commercial, it's about how this is the last game of Solid Snake " This IS The last chapter of this snake's life "
I remembered playing this back in 2007 and I thought there was something wrong with my TV, my dad walked in and was saying WTF are you watching, I said I don't know I just want to play the game!
I first played the game at a friend's house. It was also the first time I had ever seen an HD TV in action up close, so needless to say, it was quite the experience!
Я это вчера (2023) запустил на эмуляторе и меня это поразило. Жаль игра зависла после заставки. Но и этого хватило, чтобы вспонить о гениальности Кодзимы.
What a creative way to immediately unsettle/confuse the player who's about to play an epic game about war across the globe in a 21st century setting, geopolitical imbalance, disinformation, and media control. It’s similar to inland empire how it creeps you out. Bravo, Kojima-seyonara…
IKR? It had that "anime" sound to it, but as acted by live action English (and French, I suppose) speakers instead of the result of dubbing. Really shows how much language affects pacing.
Yeah, the weird, off-kilter humor too. When I first got into anime in my teens, it took a while to adjust to the awkward style of communication between characters.
Writer of the first two X-Men films, but he'll always be Snake to me. Meanwhile, some upstart University of Texas alumni who's currently in the Navy is watching these commercials and gets the idea to get into politics.
haha good thing you didn’t have to experience the fear of laughing octopus at 7… i’d do it all over again though this game holds a special place in my heart forever
From the ticker-tape on the nature documentary: "Body of Robespierre exhumed, used as decoration at White House holiday party for second consecutive year. 'Now if we could just find the head,' said White House press secretary--"
I remember seeing these for the first time and being extremely confused. Like "did I start the game correctly??" Then I realized that these were the commercials before the movie.
It's 2023 and it's actually crazy in Russia there is a PMC putting adverts on p*rn hub and it's a sexy girl telling men to "join the coolest private army in the world" and its basically just like these mgs4 commercials
Incredibly prophetic. Not only is there a Ben And Jerry's ad that literally talks about a so-called BLM revolution, there's a propaganda video on TV where Donald Trump calls Joe Biden a zombie. A FUCKING ZOMBIE. This is real.
2024 - 10 years after the games canon events take place. It still seems so futuristic. I always felt MGS handled futuristic settings happening in more modern dates pretty accurately. It's like we are looking through an alternate reality due to La Li Lu Le Lo and the Will of the Boss and subsequently Big Bosses icon. Now because of the War Economy technology has advanced so far. Now we have one man in control of all of the worlds weapons. After he used this weapon, why did everyone stop fighting when they could have resorted to CQC or fighting with blades and other weaponry not affected by GOP? Those who did have grandfathered guns were probably put down quickly and those whose weapons worked immediately ruled along with Him. They are now looking at their new God. Their entire Government controlled by AGI. It's almost Utopia compared to other dystopian literature.
Honest Happy Hater also, during that game show, are they in a spaceship or something? I can also hear other noise during say the interview with David. The chipmunk announcer during the workout commercial is stupid. My favorite PMC ad was for Ravensword.
@@dantetouchdown9030 the thing is these times never really went away. In fact, these times gave way to an entire generation of soldiers being abandoned and tossed away like used tissue. When 1 single military company has more employees than Canada and Mexico combined, it's gonna take a full system reset to repair the societal damage
@@dantetouchdown9030 no that's what sundowner wanted. He wasn't even in on the real plan. Considering no one mentioned ending the war economy until Armstrong tells you, i don't think anyone knew. Armstrong is merely using the evil as a tool. Not only that, but then Raiden then takes up that same cause with his own spin on it and begins fighting his own wars
I really wanna make a video about it, but the cook in the cooking segment is definitely Kojima and the hostess is Konami right? She's trying to sell to the audience/players a game she doesn't really even believe in or understand, while the cook is sweating away trying to piece together what he can with the scraps he is given. The hostess is constantly trying to appeal to the audience, even when the chef begins to comment about the outrage that he "hadn't made it sooner". You can even briefly see Kojima in the background at one point around 8:16, specifically when the chef is giving a speech about being loyal to the "people he's cooking for" AKA the longtime fans of the series. The final moments I feel are both a message to the audience and the Konami Higher-Ups themselves. He is drawing a line in the sand. No matter how popular the character is, and how much people wanted to see him again after MGS2 controversy, this is the last chapter in Solid's life.
@@Zonex_Haven Can't believe this scam, cutting off that good extra "S" like that; you could make a fine stew with that, but you just had to cut off that part. Cheapskate.
With this clothes david looks like universal soldier from van damme, it is curious because the character of snake is bassed in part, in this actor, in mell gibson and some others 🎉
I'm looking back at these, thinking about how these clips compare to today, in a more exaggerated form. I'm just loosely thinking, but how much of the stuff plastered all around us appears to be more, trivial. Something about businesses going for the cash cow rather than sticking to their original purposes. Just loose thoughts
you mean a pretentious hack job of disjointed themes and narrative devices thats hyped up by weebs, nah mgs4 isn't that bad but i see what you're saying , try reading a book with more than 150 pages
@@AndikaThe2000 No he means that the modern setting in the game had to be restrained at the time that could be showed to us. So ideas not able to be realized. If it released a few years later and 5 was 4 instead ( came first ) then we could have seen a even better title
I hope one day all the games get faithfully remastered. So much potential and brilliant creativeness throughout Kojima's games and so much of it inaccessible or just hampered by tech at the time
I just noticed that the song in the background of Sarge's Training at around 10:13 says "Mach dich nackig/nackich" which means "Get naked", the fuck. I played and watched you guys play this game so long now and never knew.
