Metal Gear Solid released 25 years ago today in North America for the original PlayStation. It's my favorite game of all-time. Read about my memories of Metal Gear Solid and what makes the game so special.
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."
Ver.2.0.0 will be available for users on PlayStation® 5, PlayStation® 4, Nintendo Switch™ & Xbox Series X|S beginning Nov. 15th, 2024.
I went back to MGS1 last month. Honestly, the voice acting and game are way beyond it's time. I had a blast. If you have not played it in some time, it's refreshing.
Its a masterpiece that has aged so gracefully. The controls may not be modern style, but they don't have to be, they just have to work well and be responsive, which they are.
You are out your mind if you’re thinking that. It’s still one of the best games ever made.
Ummmm going back to play one of the best games of my childhood a chore???
Nah nah nah. The game is way ahead of its time and is a better game than half the games they release this day and age.
Love mgs1 and it will always be a great game until the end of time!
Legend in its own right a piece of art that will stand the test of time.
When I pay $60 for a physical copy „master collection” of 20+ years old games, I expect to have the best possible version on disc not update on my console.
This collection was rushed out one year too soon, what a shame. Hoping that Vol. 2 is released in a better state.
The series has reached 62.1 million total sales as of the end of September 2024.
congrats, all the games are great
MGS on playstation is still one of my favourite games
hopefully Kojima gets some profits, d*** Konami
I would kill, and i mean kill, for a remake of this, if the rumour of Bluepoint games doing it is true it would be a dream come true for me personally as i am a massive MGS fanboy.
I still have a PS1 copy.
This series is now more like watching someone suffering from main character syndrome with an ego go out of check and has run amok (even going as far to place himself in his own games… ew.), until it hits a lead wall.
My favorite part of the series is the one where he pretended to be working and made a side project with someone else’s money. Total espionage cringe action.
Aside from Hideo shitting in his own pool, MG3 is insanely well done and some of THE TEAM’S best work.
All these classics are either passed or closely approaching 25 years old. Terrifying since I remember playing them when they were new.
Ridge Racer Type 4 approaches the quarter century on its Japanese release. Crash Bandicoot 3. Spyro. There's three more of not just the best Playstation games made, but some of the best games ever. Old old old. Wonder what videogame history will think of them when they're 50 years old. Halfway there.
Also now 25 years old you have Ocarina of Time, Banjo-Kazooie, Medievil, Vigilante 8, Resident Evil 2, Colin Mcrae Rally, Need for Speed III. Xenogears. Street Fighter Alpha 3. The OG Rainbow Six. F-Zero X. All fantastic.
Tomb Raider 3 and Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus are both 25 years old in November. Rogue Squadron came out December 1998.
THE DREAMCAST is 25 years old counting from the Japanese release. I remember playing on an import machine at Christmas 1998.
1998 was a great year.
