  • Part 6 of a retrospective on Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid series. Featuring anything from Snake's Revenge to Survive, as well as deep lore about his relationship with Konami. Very cool.

    Konami claimed this video because of the Graphic Novel footage. I can't not show it, so there ain't a good way around it, but if this video has bogus ads in bogus places, then it's their fault not mine.

      Peace walker was amazing for a portable game back in the day. The graphics were really fucking solid. You can even peep a sneaky little kojima in the back of a truck. Portable ops is hot fucking garbage. I remember getting the plus version and it was the same shit with no story lmao. One game transcends Psp one, the other is Psp as fuck. This series is never consistent 😥

  • @mytyhekiller4
    @mytyhekiller4 5 лет назад +9

    Portable Ops has always been designed as mainline. I mean it appears quite often in MGS4 (in Big Mama's church for instance or when all the canon games are listed during a cutscene, and so on...) and has so many key elements of the overall plot, even some plot points that were yet to be introduced

    • @mytyhekiller4
      @mytyhekiller4 5 лет назад +3

      Also I get what your point is and I think their idea for streamlining was to show you the places where you could switch characters and make it so that 143.15 would recruit all of the soldiers within range of your waiting characters at once and not one after the other. So basically you leave them all within reach of the nearest switching spot, you change character and you call the frequency. Not ideal but considerably smoother

    Ashley wood is legit one of my favourite humans - he just pumps out great punk art at an alarming rate, and a lot of his own material has that same kind of esoteric weirdness which must have felt a perfect fit. The metal gear comic looks kind of soft and clumsy compared to later work, but along with his small press stuff, made a huge impact on the comics industry at the time. It's kind of weird to see Yoji Shinkawa's attempt to attach metal gear's stylings to a new, unrelated game this year - his art is kind of the front face of the series, but it doesn't run through it as much as Ash's.

    • @noneofyourbusiness4616
      @noneofyourbusiness4616 4 года назад +2

      Some of what you may be attributing to Wood's influence on the comics industry may actually be influence by the comics artists who influenced Wood. (Kent Williams, Bill Sienkiewicz, Jon J. Muth, Dave McKean, etc.) Not sure what you're referring to exactly, so I may be off base by saying this.

    I completely DESPISE MGS2 DGN, with all of my hate (Barry Dennen was amazing though, God bless his soul). But if I was going to find something good in it, it would be that some "extra" cutscenes were actually MGS2 cutscenes which got scrapped and reworked due to the 9/11 attack, and I'm mainly referring to Liquid's small exchange with the trio which goes something like "it's going to be a total disaster!" with Liquid going "disaster? that does have a nice ring to it!"; all of that was going to be in the original game, 3 days before mastering. It also explains that Arsenal hitting Manhattan was all Liquid's doing when he hits the switch, not because of a preprogrammed action inside the ship.
    Also, that Karen Houjo cameo was even _present_ in the original game, just completely unused as much as other stuff. You can listen to the original version here: watch?v=daI9oMz8tMc

    Hey! awesome video. I just wanted to tell you that there is a mistake on the Mobile information. It does not run on the original N Gage, its a game made for N Gage 2.0, a gaming service and plataform for different Nokia phones like N95, N96, N97, N85, etc. I used to play Mobile on my Nokia 5320. So, if you want to play it you dont an expensive or rare phone like the original N Gage, just and old Symbian V3 Nokia.
    Edit: In reality it was made for flip phones on Verizon and later it was ported to the N Gage 2.0. Also, the Resident Evil game this guys made for the N gage was pretty good too.

    You already have my Respect for being a Gamer and Intellectual that has The Class to fully Appreciate the Lore, immense Realism, and actual military Lingo/Culture that Metal Gear brought to us all, I've Played many games , but nothing like this franchise. If this wasn't originally intended as Video game, and Hideo published Metal Gear as a seriess of Novels . No doubt in my mind , he possibly could of out sold Tom Clancy , well beyond in terms of how Rich Hideos MGS novels would contain in Storytelling, Far from Cliche.
