There's been a lot of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots coverage in the wake of the game's spectacular and dominant Tokyo Game Show appearance last month. We were particularly impressed by both the 1UP Yours podcast, which featured Kojima Productions' own Ryan Payton explaining various aspects of the games features and development; and MTV News Multiplayer's Q&A with the same Payton about the philosophy between the various trailers (nine, at last count) that the studio has released for MGS4. But the most intriguing piece of all was a seemingly unrelated story by a contributor to the Web site Ain't It Cool News who won an EBay auction for a previously unpublished and rejected draft of a script for the 1996 movie "Escape From L.A." from the screenplay's author, Coleman Luck.
Why is this interesting? Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima has never hidden the fact that his game's hero, Solid Snake, was inspired by Snake Plissken, the hero played by Kurt Russell in John Carpenter's 1981 movie "Escape From New York."
Eight seminal games were released on the gaming market between October 26 and November 23, 2004. Twenty years later, here's Wccftech's retrospective.
You're not gonna include Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal or Jak 3 on that list? Just change it to Fall 2004 Releases and include the masterpiece that is Sly 2.
After over 20 years of fan speculation and theories, Metal Gear Solid 3's Eva voice actor has finally been revealed.
I'll save you the click. It was Jodi Benson (The Little Mermaid), 20 years ago they decided to credit her under a pseudonym so the M rated game would not conflict with her family friendly voice acting curriculum back when that was still a concern with Disney.
With Metal Gear Solid Delta on its way, we look back to see how the original Snake Eater is the foundation on which the entire Metal Gear series is built and is without doubt the greatest prequel ever made.
The fact you can kill the end by either changing your console clock or my way when he is on the dock is such a cool Easter egg.
My video/play through i time coded the part of end getting killed at the dock

The river scene with ocelot's dad will also change depending on your kill count

So many things that can change on each playthrough
Oh also the iconic ladder scene always a classic

wait are people upset i gave out spoilers on a 20 year old ps2 game?
Like for real this was on top of alot of charts for sales with so many different versions
It's 20 years old man these new "gamers" are weak
No one here ever turn on a history channel or go to school there are scary spoilers there too.
Getting hate for talking about a 20year old game on a comment section with a article that talks about the 20year old game with spoilers in the article
" original Snake, aka Big Boss, whose DNA was used to create the clones Solid, Liquid and Solidus"
Quick call 911 IGN spoiled the game
Wait til he realises there are people born years after MGS3 released who are now getting into mature gaming
@chard
I was watching robocop before i grew chest hair are you seriously saying people only play M rated games after they turn 17?
@just_looken
That’s not what I’m saying at all.
Im referring to the weird conclusion you jumped to, which is that anyone who hasn’t played MGS3 by now took too long and are also weak for being bothered by spoilers this long after the original release.
Plenty of people without chest hair will try this remake as their first exposure to MGS3. It’s not somebody’s fault or weakness if they were born in 2010 and had better things to do than play MGS3 prior to this remake. The world doesn’t revolve around you
And no one who hasn't played this game yet will know what the hell he's referring too. sensitive, delicate, snowflake.....
Have an agree, if people haven't bothered playing a 20 year old game and get mad at spoilers then they should stay out of enthusiast posts.
Right? like wow perhaps i should post about the gta 3 story in the next article get hate there for spoiling that game.
You really are something. Not only does a world turn around you, but you also are sensitive to 5 dislikes.
Who is weak now?
All remakes are done to bring in a new audience and make new money.
Why would you spoil a game or any kind of media for whatever reason If You experienced it?
Ohhh for your Youtube channel... there it is.
Jesus... imagine if someone commented your gameplay. Badly...
My boys will experience this remake for the first time.
1. Its not the dislikes its many post's on this site and other's always the haters or like you mad about spoilers on old old games.
2. My youtube channel is older that most "gamers" today i lost alot of vids do too youtube bots and yourself has no proof even playing any of the games so go ahead post away on stuff you have no idea how to play.
3. My header is real i used to make a few k or more a month or more with mahcinima when bf/gta/halo/world of tanks were in there prime.Now there is just few vids here there
love it.
Just remember while this game came out years ago, theres a whole generation f gamers who would have never played it. it wasn't current for them.
So the remasters are aimed at bringing in new fans of the franchise, posting these may spoil it for some.
The article literally has spoilers in it who the boss's kid is the eva relationship and entire series information you only get by playing the games.
Personally DMC3 is my favorite prequel. MGS3 is top 3 though next to Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.
Kinda surprised Red Dead 2 isn't IGN's pick for best prequel.
Its red dead revolver red dead redemption red dead redemption 2
I am still waiting for a way to turn off kingdom hearts looping music but the collection is cheap on amazon for those wanting 2 play the games.
thats a real gamer there, someone who plays a hack'n'slash, a stealth, and an aRPG. * claps hands *
He took more ideas from Rambo then this movie and trust me I watch all three of them so much you can easily tell were got his influence. The only thing he took from Escape from NY is the name and the eye patch.
As a movie fan, I've always felt bad because of not having seen Escape From New York so far. Now I feel bad as a gamer too. Gotta get this film.
Escape from New York is a manly film that men love. Metal Gear Solid is a manly game that men love.
Kojima likes Western action movies, so it's obvious it's going to translate to his games.
Snatcher is based on Blade Runner, for instance.
Duhh. It screams Rambo movies and Escpae from NY influence with 80% of original add ons. But influence is there.
Escape from new york ROCKS
"CALL ME SNAKE"
CLASSIC MOVIES THE BOTH OF THEM
