Absolutely epic. You guys have really outdone yourselves this time! Having met David Hayter myself, I know he's a class act and that really comes through in this video.
@@LeeEverett1 Explain Sean Hayes then. He received millions and millions of dollars for YEARS for his role of Chef in South Park but then he said he hated the show. There's also Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher who hated the Star Wars sequel trilogy even though they got higher paychecks than the main lead actors!
Thanks to MGS1 I learned to speak English, my native language is Spanish, I’ve tried to comprehend the game, not just killing people… so I played the entire game with an English-Spanish dictionary on hand, more than a couple of times. My favorite franchise.
MGS 1 helped me learn english back when I played it as a kid. I so much wanted to learn to understand it better. I'm polish. Not only that but just this single game is fully responsible for creating my preference for treating story in video games as the biggest selling point for me. It's been something like 20 years now since I played it and still this hasn't changed a single bit. It's not my only preference of course. But a really good story (and I mean for real) leaves practically every other characteristic far behind. Damn... Good thing I had this and not... Things like Fortnite. I mean I have nothing against Fortnite... But I definitely would not want IT to be responsible for creating my preference as a kid:|
I wonder if some of the stuff he proposed would be possible now? I'd be interested to see what wacky ideas Kojima can implement with modern hardware in his future games.
Kojima is full of insane ideas, and it shines through in his recent titles the most. MGSV and Death Stranding are full to the brim with amazingly thought out mechanics that interact with one another wonderfully. He is a creative genius and I don't think there's any way to deny that. He can be a bit hit or miss, though, as he's had his number of backfires throughout the years. Also, the dude has a serious problem with pacing. I'm a huge Kojima fan, but I can see how some people might be put off when they have to deal with his issues, like the beginning of MGSV (that hospital sequence is insufferable, especially when you have to replay it), or many of the choices in Death Stranding, which I'm currently playing and I find myself avoiding to interact with some of the most cumbersome mechanics (yeah, I know, I'm supposed to use the rope to go down that cliff... but hear me out: what about jumping down and see if I make it??)
That Snake Eater joke he made with the game having 69 cut missions killed me, lol. I only thought, "Nice," as usual, but didn't make that connection, lol.
Epic how Kojima predicted big tech would be taken over by the intelligence agencies to control the minds of the populations. We see it all now with the twitter files
For an off the cuff reading, Hayter did a great job with those few lines from Rising. He's not just fantastic because he voiced snake, he's a great acting talent.
"you want a controller people can TASTE WITH? BLOOD SCENTED PAINT?! MUSHROOMS GROWING FROM PISS?!!!" Maybe the reason Konami switched to pachinko was because they were so burnt out dealing with his bullshit...
Honestly, that's just how creative visionaries are. They dream big and then the people whose talent is negotiation, implementation, and marketing bring them down to earth and the final product generally turns out well. When a creative has too much control, you end up with over ambitious material that either never gets completed or ends up losing too many people. When they don't have enough control, you get design by corporate focus group and the product loses its soul.
As is the case with so many creators out there. The most fantastical words you could ever dream of, limited by our technology. Though this gap becomes smaller each year.
@@Ougerosity598 Nah, even Kojima knows killing his fanbase would be bad for business. He would propose the shock to put the player in coma for 1 month.
Snake himself calling Raiden's "baby maker" "what should not be seen, would be seen" made me laugh much harder than expected. What a fucking cool guy he is. Amazing of him to come onto a TH-cam channel..TWICE!
I'm the guy who wrote this video, and I promise you that line wasn't in the script. Hayter added it while recording. I was quite surprised when I heard it lol. 100% not joking.
@@DJIVision obviously I was skeptical in your claim at first (cuz you know, internet) but holy shit you're deadass. That's awesome!! Glad to know David Hayter has his own amazing sense of humor lol
kojima is utterly insane with his ideas and i love it. he constantly starts with IMPOSSIBLY ambitious goals, so when he inevitably doesn't meet them he still ends up with something that's above and beyond!!
He would have done better to NOT have terrible, insane ideas. Then instead of wasting everyone's time on bad ideas that aren't remotely possible, they could have spent more time and effort polishing the good ideas.
@@TheMisterGuySo a developer can’t have ambitions on their games? Either way, the ideas are usually cut early in development so it wasn’t a time waster.
I'll always love David Hayter for how much he adores his audience. Very few actors and actresses are that way where they continue to interact with and entertain their fans on a daily basis decades after their performance.
You know how a lot of scenes in MGS2 have Raiden talking to someone right in front of them but they need to switch to codec? I wonder if those were originally gonna be fully animated cutscenes but they couldn't be finished because they had to reallocate that time into changing the ending.
I always wondered why characters opted to do that so many times. The codec in general I think gets used as a way to freeze time during info-dumps. It also doesn't make much sense that all the people you run into just happen to have a codec. Why would Stillman in MGS2 have one, for example?
It's probably a budget thing. Imagine every conversation having a cutscene, how much time would have to be spent on music, sound-design, animation, camera work, etc.
David Hayter will always be Solid Snake. You taught me lessons that set in time and time again for years of my life about being an individual, about how big industries work, about passion for art, and how oppressive the world can be. Also commenting for the algorithm because I saw that post that they wanted this video to have another shot. It's a good one and love David's hosting on this channel every time. Bring him back for every MGS video and more!
All of David's small interjections throughout prove it to me. That Snake losing his charm and personality may have been due to the script, but it was also due to David not being there. Man has a charm that just bled into the role. There can be only one Snake and one Big Boss! *dramatically jumps into Metal Gear Ray*
Worst decision Kojima made was remove Hayter from MGSV, and more broadly his recent obsession with hiring TV/movie actors he likes. That’s not to say those actors are at fault, but when many factors came together, the performances ended up very hit and miss.
I still wish the original MGS Rising concept could see fruition. I just always loved the idea of an inbetweenquel about Raiden going full cyborg and saving Sunny from the Patriots. Even if Platinum doesn't get to make a game out of it, I think seeing the scenario play out in the form of a comic book or something would be sick.
With how Revengeance got popular recently and all the memes, lets hope that could convince Konami to let Platinum do another one, hell maybe they could even bring Kojima to consult with them again.
This also happened to The Phantom Pain, Ground Zeroes was the release that was most what Kojima intended, playing with dark themes and torture, which was mostly cut from TPP. It's honestly a shame, reality is dark, and horrible. Games that are designed to reflect reality and tell stories should be as close to that as possible in my opinion.
But TPP is dark. I mean there are child soldiers, losing limbs then hunting your enemy till you lose yourself in the process and your humanity,washed up dead bodies in a polluted factory because of experiments with a parasite, a rape scene, the whole part with Huey which is just deplorable, Venom snake forced to kill his own soldiers, the wounds of colonialism and its aftermath ; not to mention the countless tapes one of which is a sort of rendition of The Rwandan Genocide. This game is dark, perhaps it's more subtle in its bleakness but I think follows perfectly the line introduced in Ground Zeroes
@@oniricuncle "But TPP is dark. I mean there are child soldiers..." The problem is it doesn't fit. The game is too silly for those heavy themes. The bad guy's name is Skull Face. This is seriously Adam West Batman levels of camp. And oh my god, I just realized Quiet (aside from being a woman who looks hot and can't talk) is like a combination Poison Ivy and Catwoman. And those ridiculous prosthetic fist weapons...They could literally cast Adam West's Batman as the hero and this wouldn't get less silly.
Okay, Kojima bringing the devs into a forest and having them captured by combat specialists to make MGS3 is the most based thing I'll ever hear a game director do.
It’s just so crazy to listen to David “Snake” talk about MGS. It’s like a super secret cutscene where you find out Snake was just acting the whole time. Thank you, David.
Love you guys for going all out and bringing David himself to narrate these vids. Metal Gear has always been one of my favorite franchises and MGS3 might just be my all time favorite game, and it is heartwarming to see such a popular channel keeping the legacy alive.
Wow, while it looked like a lot of effort went into making sure Kojima didn't get too derailed with some of his more fantastical ideas, he still had the right idea about which direction to take games in in general. Him and his team were some incredibly talented and dedicated people (from the lengths they went to to learn more about what they were making, etc.).
"he still had the right idea about which direction to take games in in general." No he didn't. All those ideas are terrible. A realistic, simulated jungle, instead of just good level design? It adds nothing to the game because players are there for the spy fantasy, not horticulture, but it makes the hardware requirements go way up. A game that makes your room smell like blood by melting paint inside your console? Jesus Christ dude, no, I don't want my video game stinking up my house, and I don't want melted paint in my console. His ideas are expensive and bad, and the fact that they couldn't be done saved his career over and over. Fortunately, the parts of his ideas that were good, like making a Hollywood action movie into a game, were also achievable and fun.
I can't tell you how incredible it is to hear my childhood hero tell me about all the things I never knew about one of my favorite series. Amazing content, thank you!
Man these are some good ones. That original pitch for MGS4 seemed to become Death Stranding. And even that it's small scale compared to the original pitch. Damn I wish we got to see the A,B,C wars in MGS4 and also being rehashed and improved in MGSV. It's heartbreaking. That made the MGS4 feel so alive.
I love these longer format videos, especially with how much content is in the Metal Gear franchise. So cool having David Hayter, the man himself doing the narration with ad-libbed bits of his own personal experiences. Keep up the good work and can't wait for more Metal Gear info!!
Kojima really is a brilliant mind. He knows how to tell a story and somehow have it all make sense by the end of it. I'm glad he's still making games today, and can't wait to check out his next project.
Wow! I’ve followed MGS for several years and did my own deep dives to find out as much behind the scenes info as I could. You guys just presented a bunch of info I never even heard before! Well done!
Of course all the research and writing is incredible, but it's hard to not have David Hayter steal the show here. Thanks so much for the video, 40 min went by in a flash.
MGS2 is still my favorite of the series, and it's been absolutely wild watching the events of the plot all but play out IRL. Censorship, information control, government fearing loss of control, the internet becoming a walled garden...
Social networks becoming methods of social control via dissemination of misinformation and incomplete, malformed opinions (AI-Rose: "No one is right - but neither is anyone invalidated.") and on and on. If we were really paying attention, MGS2 should have scared the shit out of everyone who played it. We were distracted by LOL WUT I NEED SCISSORS! 61!
What’s harder to believe? All these unknown facts coming to light? Or the Fact that the Legendary Solid Snake is narrating which makes some of us wonder if there is a hidden truth behind this video. p.s. Thank you David for helping out in this video. I could imagine Snake doing narration. Maybe the next video is DYKG: The Real Ending of MGS V??
I love these! Getting David Hayter's insight is such a fun touch, and he always does a great job on these voiceovers. Can't wait for the revengence one!
Thank you for sharing. This is really informative specially I'm surprised that you're able to ask David Hayter to do the commentary in this video it gives an intimate MGS feel. Thank you so much. Keep up the great work.
Even better than the previous two installments! I loved that Mr. Hayter provided voice lines for the MGRR Sword and how he broke character at the end! Can't wait for another one of these.
This was a fun watch, hearing David Hayter himself narrating this and adding his own interjections was the icing on the cake. The MGS fan community is doing a better job celebrating the series' 35th anniversary better than Konami themselves, lol.

I absolutely love having David Hayter narrate these videos! I still get chills hearing him say "Did you know?" in Snake's voice. I especially love how he went off script and gave some of his own opinions on this. I'd love to hear an interview with him, and listen to him talk about his opinion on the plot and what not. I think it would be interesting to hear it from his perspective.
I hope we get another traditional Metalgear game. If they do make a new one I'm actually hoping that it's not open world. I never finished Phantom pain because it was too big and repetitive. Metalgear is a series I prefer to be on a smaller scale rather than big open areas.
Bro it took me a solid minute untill I realized that Snake's EN VA narrated this. Then he went on and "dubbed" the sword. Im dead. This was epic!! Absolutely enjoyed this video and had massive fun listening to it. Thanks for this quality content - with the best narrator you could've picked!
I have watched this three times now because it’s impossible to absorb all of the info on just one watch. Fantastic job guys, you really set the bar very high when it comes to video game content. Thank you!!
@@DJIVision I’m very grateful to have informative entertainment like this today :-) It is amazing that we live in a world where we can consume media that fits our interests perfectly at any moment we want. Thank you for the kind words Dr. Lava, and also for the amazing work on the new video. It was amazing!
They have all the resources, all the incentive, and all the demand needed to release a completed version of MGS3 with all previous and unreleased single-player bonus content. Even photo camo could be easily retooled for modern platforms. New bonus content could even be made using the old multiplayer maps. Could you imagine just what we could have if the IP rights were in the hands of a competent team who actually cared about the artistry in and experience of one of the most beloved games ever made?
It's infuriating now to see Konami pretending like they care about Suikoden when we all know they're just pissed off at Eiyuuden Hero Chronicle's existence.
Fantastic video as always! I really like Hayter's interjections about development. It's awesome hearing his direct insider take. And of course the star of the show is the amazing research you guys have put in. Thank you so much for the work you do!
In Metal Gear Solid 3 where they took out the players freedom, and the begging that The boss said was a good call. I think the way the music hushes, and the atmosphere in that stage was perfect, and utterly brilliant. Again its moments like this that make Kojima-san stand out from the rest. Such a great moment. I'll take it to me to the grave.
What an awesome video. Congrats on it. I never knew of all the ambitious ideas Kojima had for each entry in the series. And what a shame we probably won't see another MGS from him now that hardware is starting to get closer to what he dreamt all the way back in the 80s. Judging by Death Stranding though he still has some tricks up his sleeve and the future is looking bright!
We put hundreds of hours of research into this video. Giving it a like, comment or a share would help us out a ton. Cheers 👍
Best one so far!
Cheers lads 💜
Fantastic video!
13:36 Kojima was an unwitting prophet.
Absolutely epic. You guys have really outdone yourselves this time! Having met David Hayter myself, I know he's a class act and that really comes through in this video.
David Hayter is such a cool guy, You can tell he really cares about MGS by how he conducts himself with the community.
I'm sure the paycheck he received didn't hurt either lol

I mean there are child soldiers, losing limbs then hunting your enemy till you lose yourself in the process and your humanity,washed up dead bodies in a polluted factory because of experiments with a parasite, a rape scene, the whole part with Huey which is just deplorable, Venom snake forced to kill his own soldiers, the wounds of colonialism and its aftermath ; not to mention the countless tapes one of which is a sort of rendition of The Rwandan Genocide. This game is dark, perhaps it's more subtle in its bleakness but I think follows perfectly the line introduced in Ground Zeroes
@@oniricuncle "But TPP is dark. I mean there are child soldiers..."
The problem is it doesn't fit. The game is too silly for those heavy themes. The bad guy's name is Skull Face. This is seriously Adam West Batman levels of camp. And oh my god, I just realized Quiet (aside from being a woman who looks hot and can't talk) is like a combination Poison Ivy and Catwoman. And those ridiculous prosthetic fist weapons...They could literally cast Adam West's Batman as the hero and this wouldn't get less silly.
David sounded like he had so much fun doing the narration. Thank you for all the new insight.
Okay, Kojima bringing the devs into a forest and having them captured by combat specialists to make MGS3 is the most based thing I'll ever hear a game director do.
Now thats dedication, or inanity
@@joelikespotatoes8321 or both
Dedication to the art and enforced method acting lol.
Not all made it out alive. Losers....
This feels ultimate kojima
38:10 Now I need that David Hayter mod for Revengeance's wooden sword.
Really appreciate you guys actually getting David Hayter to narrate these, the man is iconic! They did my boi dirty in MGSV !
"This narrator is doing a really good impression. Wait.... ft....David...HAYTER!!"
The MGS series changed my life as a kid, and I LOVE these bts videos y’all have done! David Hayter is a real one for doing this
38:49 I love how you provided some Snake voices for Snake's sword for MGRR Mr Hayter lol
29:23 So this is why in Death Stranding we see plants grow and die, it's an idea he's always wanted, and now he could do it.
so cool you got David to do another one of these. Sounds like he had a blast recording these.
Dude I miss David Hayter this is awesome. He was my childhood
It’s just so crazy to listen to David “Snake” talk about MGS. It’s like a super secret cutscene where you find out Snake was just acting the whole time.
Thank you, David.
David Hayter will always be THE BEST! He is THE Voice of Snake, no replacements, no exceptions! Thank you so much David, you're amazing!
Agreed
for solid yes, i kinda like sunderland more for big boss
@@jmgonzales7701 Agreed, especially an older Big Boss
@@nutball3756 he is the one that fits
Ppl are still malding about Reefer Sutherland, huh?
David! You’re legend. One of the most iconic voices in all of gaming.
Love you guys for going all out and bringing David himself to narrate these vids. Metal Gear has always been one of my favorite franchises and MGS3 might just be my all time favorite game, and it is heartwarming to see such a popular channel keeping the legacy alive.
MGS3 was definitely the best to me too, the atmosphere, the gameplay, no futuristic stuff, just raw action. Cheers buddy.
@@arthurvg2217 Word! The story is legendary, and that ending despite countless playthroughs still makes me emotional. Props my man 👍
Wow, while it looked like a lot of effort went into making sure Kojima didn't get too derailed with some of his more fantastical ideas, he still had the right idea about which direction to take games in in general. Him and his team were some incredibly talented and dedicated people (from the lengths they went to to learn more about what they were making, etc.).
"he still had the right idea about which direction to take games in in general."
No he didn't. All those ideas are terrible. A realistic, simulated jungle, instead of just good level design? It adds nothing to the game because players are there for the spy fantasy, not horticulture, but it makes the hardware requirements go way up. A game that makes your room smell like blood by melting paint inside your console? Jesus Christ dude, no, I don't want my video game stinking up my house, and I don't want melted paint in my console. His ideas are expensive and bad, and the fact that they couldn't be done saved his career over and over. Fortunately, the parts of his ideas that were good, like making a Hollywood action movie into a game, were also achievable and fun.
@@TheMisterGuy "Made sure he didn't get too derailed by his more fantastical ideas"
Can you fucking read?
I can't tell you how incredible it is to hear my childhood hero tell me about all the things I never knew about one of my favorite series. Amazing content, thank you!
Man these are some good ones. That original pitch for MGS4 seemed to become Death Stranding. And even that it's small scale compared to the original pitch.
Damn I wish we got to see the A,B,C wars in MGS4 and also being rehashed and improved in MGSV. It's heartbreaking. That made the MGS4 feel so alive.
Man, this only reminded me of how I miss David Hayter in my life 😢
Kept us waiting, huh?
Have you played Bloodstained Ritual of the Night? He voices Zangetsu in that game
We can thank David Hayter for Netflix's Warrior Nun. It's a show he worked on that he's very proud of. (Source = Twitter)
I love these longer format videos, especially with how much content is in the Metal Gear franchise. So cool having David Hayter, the man himself doing the narration with ad-libbed bits of his own personal experiences. Keep up the good work and can't wait for more Metal Gear info!!
Kojima really is a brilliant mind. He knows how to tell a story and somehow have it all make sense by the end of it. I'm glad he's still making games today, and can't wait to check out his next project.
I'm here to rewatch after the restriction lifting. Love you guys! Keep up the great work!
Amazing content as usual, and as always great to hear more commentaries from David Hayter.
Solid Snake himself (David Hayter) narrating this video is damn AWESOME!!
It'd be cool if they got Cam Clarke (Liquid) to do one.
Mind blown right? 🤯🤯😱😱
I love this kind of content, especially for MGS, what a cherry on top to get legendary David Hayter to narrate
david hayter seems like a genuine fan of this series and not just an actor.
Wow! I’ve followed MGS for several years and did my own deep dives to find out as much behind the scenes info as I could. You guys just presented a bunch of info I never even heard before! Well done!
I could listen to David all day. Everything he says feels impactful, Solid Snake brainwashing.
As a big MGS and David Hayter fan, this was an absolute treat! Thanks for all the hard work researching, and extra thanks to David for narrating it!
Of course all the research and writing is incredible, but it's hard to not have David Hayter steal the show here. Thanks so much for the video, 40 min went by in a flash.
Thanks for putting together another excellent video, and thank you David for being such a cool guy and humoring us fans!
Thank you dkg and David for this awesome collaboration!
MGS2 is still my favorite of the series, and it's been absolutely wild watching the events of the plot all but play out IRL. Censorship, information control, government fearing loss of control, the internet becoming a walled garden...
Social networks becoming methods of social control via dissemination of misinformation and incomplete, malformed opinions (AI-Rose: "No one is right - but neither is anyone invalidated.") and on and on. If we were really paying attention, MGS2 should have scared the shit out of everyone who played it. We were distracted by LOL WUT I NEED SCISSORS! 61!
Yeah that was wild back then!
I love these Metal Gear videos. The last one about the nuclear disarmament in MGSV was incredible, as was this one.
What’s harder to believe?
All these unknown facts coming to light? Or the Fact that the Legendary Solid Snake is narrating which makes some of us wonder if there is a hidden truth behind this video.
p.s. Thank you David for helping out in this video. I could imagine Snake doing narration. Maybe the next video is DYKG: The Real Ending of MGS V??
Well, they weren't exactly unknown, since they were told in all of those magazine and video interviews he showed. But all in one place, now, yes!
I LOVE this so much! David is amazing! I hope him and Kojima are on good terms these days. David is an absolute legend in my books
This is like a documentary.
Incredible work.
I love these! Getting David Hayter's insight is such a fun touch, and he always does a great job on these voiceovers. Can't wait for the revengence one!
All these ideas that Kojima couldn’t do could definitely be done in this day and age. That would be beautiful to see a fully imagined MGS
I would imagine something like ARMA but with a wild story and spiritual spooky elements.
I see "ft David Hayter", I automatically like.
35:06 they took something great from us
The naked soldier too
Thank you for sharing. This is really informative specially I'm surprised that you're able to ask David Hayter to do the commentary in this video it gives an intimate MGS feel. Thank you so much. Keep up the great work.
I wasn't expecting to cry watching a DYKG video, but here I am... once againcrying over that MGS3 scene in the flower field.
That scene got me fucked up the first time I experienced it 😭
@@FLCLpsycho The voice lines... if they wouldn't have been cut, i think i would have had a trauma back then, this is hard stuff right there!
An ending like that is how you make a game timeless.
Even better than the previous two installments! I loved that Mr. Hayter provided voice lines for the MGRR Sword and how he broke character at the end! Can't wait for another one of these.
David very clearly had a lot of fun with this.
He's right, MGS 5's cut content has been talked about A LOT. Everything involving Liquid would have been nuts though
It's creepy how close mgs2 almost was to real life and how close it was to being released to 9/11
We have David reading the lines for Revengeance's Snake Sword, now let's wait someone to mod it in
This was a fun watch, hearing David Hayter himself narrating this and adding his own interjections was the icing on the cake.
The MGS fan community is doing a better job celebrating the series' 35th anniversary better than Konami themselves, lol.

I feel bad that Hayter got replaced in V. He deserved to be there for the final game
I absolutely love having David Hayter narrate these videos! I still get chills hearing him say "Did you know?" in Snake's voice. I especially love how he went off script and gave some of his own opinions on this.
I'd love to hear an interview with him, and listen to him talk about his opinion on the plot and what not. I think it would be interesting to hear it from his perspective.
Needed this just at this moment! Thank you.
Looking cool Joker
I hope we get another traditional Metalgear game. If they do make a new one I'm actually hoping that it's not open world. I never finished Phantom pain because it was too big and repetitive. Metalgear is a series I prefer to be on a smaller scale rather than big open areas.
Bro it took me a solid minute untill I realized that Snake's EN VA narrated this.
Then he went on and "dubbed" the sword. Im dead. This was epic!!
Absolutely enjoyed this video and had massive fun listening to it. Thanks for this quality content - with the best narrator you could've picked!
I have watched this three times now because it’s impossible to absorb all of the info on just one watch. Fantastic job guys, you really set the bar very high when it comes to video game content. Thank you!!
Thanks Jay, very generous of you. If more folks triple-watched our videos and dropped a tip, we could make twice as many. Cheers mate :)
@@DJIVision I’m very grateful to have informative entertainment like this today :-) It is amazing that we live in a world where we can consume media that fits our interests perfectly at any moment we want. Thank you for the kind words Dr. Lava, and also for the amazing work on the new video. It was amazing!
@@jayst Thanks Jay :)
10 wow a month
They have all the resources, all the incentive, and all the demand needed to release a completed version of MGS3 with all previous and unreleased single-player bonus content. Even photo camo could be easily retooled for modern platforms. New bonus content could even be made using the old multiplayer maps. Could you imagine just what we could have if the IP rights were in the hands of a competent team who actually cared about the artistry in and experience of one of the most beloved games ever made?
But mate, P A C H I N K O
It's infuriating now to see Konami pretending like they care about Suikoden when we all know they're just pissed off at Eiyuuden Hero Chronicle's existence.
Fantastic video as always! I really like Hayter's interjections about development. It's awesome hearing his direct insider take. And of course the star of the show is the amazing research you guys have put in. Thank you so much for the work you do!
Thanks HN :)
The only word I can think of when I see this level of content: respect.
It’s such a shame a mans raw creative passion has always been so limited by hardware.
In Metal Gear Solid 3 where they took out the players freedom, and the begging that The boss said was a good call. I think the way the music hushes, and the atmosphere in that stage was perfect, and utterly brilliant. Again its moments like this that make Kojima-san stand out from the rest. Such a great moment. I'll take it to me to the grave.
Stellar. Simply stellar. This video is a must watch for any MGS fan.
Cheers!
What an awesome video. Congrats on it. I never knew of all the ambitious ideas Kojima had for each entry in the series. And what a shame we probably won't see another MGS from him now that hardware is starting to get closer to what he dreamt all the way back in the 80s. Judging by Death Stranding though he still has some tricks up his sleeve and the future is looking bright!
“I… Kinda knew it would be at the time.” LMAO
It's great to hear David Hayter in action again! Thanks for the video!
14:18 ohhhhh David just straight up flame throwing that shade daaaaaaaaaamn
