It's probably Gene using his ability to persuade Big Boss to turn against America inciting The Boss, he does that in the fight. Since unfortunately this game is not considered canon in the main series and that information will never be used further, i think it's the best approach to take it as that.
+MGS Final boss why didn't anyone mention Solidus? it's funny because despite Liquid saying he inherited all the crap genes, he gets talked about alot more than Solidus, and he became the freaking president! I wonder why most people reference only Liquid out of the "other two brothers" aside from Solid.
Just got into the Metal Gear series. Just finished Snake Eater and came here to learn about portable ops. Really cool that you put little gameplay segements in there. Gives it a better feeling about watching all the cutscenes
+OriginalWhiteKenyan I never really played Portable Ops, and lost the desire after Hideo stated he does not include it as a part of the MG timeline. He treats this game like a bastard and never even mentions PO+. If Hideo gave a damn about this game it would have been in one of the recent released HD collections like Peace Walker was.
daniel vazquez I don't doubt it's a good game so was skate boarding on the bigshell but to me it falls in line with vr missions, acid, po+, Ghost babel, snakes revenge and that god awful nes port we got in the US of the original Metal Gear. I like seeing the series as the creator intended. Kojima's Official timeline is 3, pw, gz, v pp, mg, mg2ss, mgs1/twin snakes, mgs2, 4. Unofficially (Revengeance) is supposed to happen after 4. There are a lot of good MG games but this time line is "the series".
I can understand how Big Boss lost faith in the governments of the world after seeing so many soldiers, allies and enemies alike, being sacrificed like scrap for nothing other than their own greed for power and money.
Man! Even though Kojima didn't write/direct this one, it was a very well crafted story that paid homage to and fell in line with the series well. Since Hollywood is so saga crazed, I really wish they would properly make this whole series into like 3 trilogies. Trilogy 1 would be mgs 3, and the portables. Trilogy 2 would be MGS V, MG and MG 2. And trilogy 3 would be MGS, MGS 2, and MGS 4.
oh whoops you said 3 trilogies! wow yeah thatd be awesome! :) sounds like a good idea, but media is relatively slow it probably wouldnt happen for like another 10 years
Nah, MGS3, MGS:PO, MGS:PW, and MGSV all fall into a single storyline that I call "Metal Gear Cipher" The second Saga would be MG, MG2, and MG:GB, Then MGS, MGS2, and MGS4. Of course, if I ere in charge of updating the games, PO, PW, and MGS4 would all use V's gameplay.
People say this game isn't cannon...how come? Snake got inspiration for MSF and Outer Haven from Gene. Also, it's here that he started recruiting and commanding troops.
@@abubakr4401 at the start of the game in PW Miller says "Now we can leave all the crap in San Heiranaymo back". San Heiranyamo is where PO takes place.
@@berserk9085 well here is the thing. Kojima is a flexible story teller. At one point in time before Peace Walker came out, Portable Ops was considered canon. Later on Kojima retconned it. Meaning he said it is no longer canon. Even though San Heiranyamo is mentioned in PW and the 2nd legacy tape is in MGSV. although two different timelines can have the same aspects so we can consider portable ops as a whole filler but some stuff from it is canon. The game itself is not but some stuff that came from it is because it became part of the later games.
Agreed. I love that is serves as a good midpoint between Snake Eater and Peace Walker and we get some great, welcome chronological introductions to characters like Roy Campbell. To me it feels wrong to ignore it and go straight into Peace Walker after Snake Eater finishes.
This game is brilliant. Introduction to Frank Jaegar is really special as the perfect soldier and Elisa telling Snake about Solid and Liquid was bone chilling and the ending song is amazing 👏
It was probably the first time in the series where snake (well this case big boss) instigated a fight rather then getting caught off guard or forced which made the moment 10x more impactful when he drew his gun without saying word
Portable Ops had its share of issues, really bad controls, barebone environments, tedious missions and recruitment mechanics... but for all its faults, I think it doesn't deserve the bad reputation it gets. For once, the story is great, much more concise than Peace Walker's, which while still a much better game overall, let's not forget was built on the foundation that Portable Ops set. The recruiting, base managing, playing as different characters, and many of the other neat features that Peace Walker had, and now even The Phantom Pain has, were all introduced by Portable Ops. I just think we have quite a bit to thank MPO for, and more people should recognize that.
Redgrave192 I agree. I was disappointed when they didn't include it in the HD remake. The boss fights in PO were better than those lame robots from PW: Null, Python, Gene in particular. Not many people know that you can pretty much rape Gene with the ricochets from your revolver, you know?

I just beat this game days ago. It’s one of my favorites in the franchise. Anyone who says this isn’t cannon and Stupid and Wrong. It’s ABSOLUTELY part of the story. To me, it’s the puzzle piece that put EVERYTHING together. Proved Metal Gear is substantially better than I thought, and it’s my all time favorite gaming franchise. All Metal Gear fans should play this game.
It is my favorite story from the MGS franchise, it is only held back by the handheld, single stick hardware, otherwise it is exceptional. Definitely my favorite PSP game. It laid the foundations for all the future MGS games with its base building and soldier collecting gameplay.
+harris aziz All except the part about Sokolov surviving. There is no way he could still be alive. I'm pretty sure we actually see him get beaten to death in MGS 3.
harris aziz I just checked and it was actually a different guy who got beaten to death, still it's hard to believe Sokalov Could manage to survive everything that happened in MGS 3, especially since he was on thin ice with Volgin to begin with.
Ahh yeah I think it was that guy in the suit who told snake about the philosophers leagacy. Yeah I do agree escaping grozne grad on your own without snake doesn't seen likely at all
For it not being a Kojima Productions game, the story's pretty well done, even if it's a bonus. I can Definitely tell it's canon since it all fits Too well. The game play looked wonky and horrible, so luckily that wasn't shown much. They should of at least shown the cut scenes in the Legacy or HD collections to at least see a little bit on how Naked Snake becomes Big Boss and how Foxhound was formed, and his reason to building MSF. I really enjoyed watching this~ Can't wait 'till MGSV! ( Elisa telling Snake his son will save the world and Gene naming his 'world' "Army's Heaven" gave me goosebumps, though. )
Oh this is a psp game? Ok that makes sense. Annoying, but it makes sense. I enjoyed the story to 3 a lot and this seems like the sequel to that so I was looking forward to watching it. Ah well. thanks for the info. :)
I'm still in the process of watching the Metal Gear series, so I have to wonder: Has there ever been a solder more tortured than Big Boss? Saved, betrayed, saved and having to kill the woman who gave him everything. Muddled in the gruesome politics of war. Having his destiny laid bare for him. Destroying Metal Gears and becoming one of the very people who'll abuse them. And then there's the matter of his son, Solid. Sending him on a mission he was supposed to fail, in the original Metal Gear game. I hope to learn his true motivations later on, but I can't imagine the pain he must have suffered through. Even his death, being burned alive by Solid Snake, must have been agonizing to the very end... And learning the origins of Frank Jaegar. I used to think that he just didn't have it in him to leave war behind, even though he hated it, but being a killer was drilled into him too deeply. Poor bastard. Guess Gray Fox and Raiden have a lot in common.
This brought some closure to my question that went unanswered in The Phantom Pain: Why does Big Boss turn into a warlord? Portable Ops answers this, kinda, with Gene. Both were shaped by the Boss, and inherited her warrior spirit, but they lacked the loyalty to their country like the Boss. Then, combined with their hatred of politics and their desire to battle, they built their own bases planning to shape the world in their vision. From this game, Big Boss was destined to create his haven for soldiers. Still not sure how he got into FOXHOUND the second time after being at war with Cipher for 20 years, but oh well. Maybe in Metal Gear Solid 6.
@@raymondlisaola8716 But how can Big Boss create and run a U.S military unit when he left the U.S to make his own private army and Cipher who is running America knows he is against them?
@@shapen360 Cipher took him back because the SOP thought it was better to keep BB under their grasp as a FOXHOUND leader - but BB still ran Outer Heaven through Venom Snake, his phantom and doppelgänger. Rather try to make peace with BB than make him an enemy. Too bad for them it didn’t last. After the 1995 Outer Heaven Uprising, BB left FOXHOUND and created a new Army in Zanzibarland - which Solid Snake destroyed, and put BB in a coma.
Thanks for uploading this! This is the ONE game in the MGS canonical series that I haven't played and probably won't get to anytime soon. It was nice to find this on here to get this part of the story. Plus, props for showing just enough gameplay to make the scenes understandable without having to show every last second of it.
This is the only game of the MGS main story that I haven't played yet, all due to the lack of me having a PSP. But thanks to this now I can enjoy it here without spending so much on a PSP for this game. :) Thanks for uploading. :)
+COMBINEdotCOM Because people can't handle if the canon doesn't fits as perfectly as a puzzle piece?Personally I think it's canon just for the whole thing being about the first operation by the Patriots to assume control of the Philosopher's Legacy and establishing who some of the founding members are. All this before MGS4 confirms it all.
+Guts He did not know that the goal was to eliminate the boss. He thought they changed the plan after Volgin launched nuke, but politicians hoped Volgin would use those nukes, so they could kill boss.
This was the first MG game I played. I intentionally avoided them because I tend to only like FPS games. But the guy at the local GameStop ( and an old fogie gamer like myself) said it was the only thing worth playing on the PSP. But also swore I would love it. If not, he would personally give me my money back. I played it. I LOVED IT! Now I am trying to collect and play the whole series. MSG2 totally blows my mind. Rather eerie in hindsight considering it was written pre 2001 (which it would have had to have been with a release date of 2001) and set in 2007 - 2009. Down right scary to me.
For a spin-off game this is something of high quality ngl. This was my first ever MGS experience - still remember finding the cheat codes to get other playable characters like Venus, Python, and even Cunningham.
Thank you so much for this series, I wanted to experience the Metal Gear story but watching gameplays can be kinda boring, and this is what I was looking for
Watched this to get the story after completing mgs 3. Was amazing. I didn’t know some were saying it wasn’t cannon but golly it seems like it falls into place to me. I played the mgs series as a kid but never understood anything but now as an adult it is so interesting. The line by Elisa foretelling of the solid and liquids future was goosebump city.
daAmazin FatB0y that doesn't mean it's a bad game. I think it's important as it explains why Big Boss left The Patriots and it leads up to the events of Peace Walker.
Phoenix Tunes From what i hear, its not THAT important. It can be summed up in one sentence. Its a game that tells yo how Big Boss recovered the Legacy and used it as funds for MSF. Peace walker barely acknowledges it too lol Kaz just goes "Finally, we can leave all that crap in San Hieronymo behind" and if he did obtain the legacy then it does not explain how they barely have any money left and are living in some random shack. Maybe PO was good but Kojima doesn't seem to see it as canon and imo, if the original creator doesn't acknowledge it then it ain't worth investing into.
Just watched the whole thing, beginning to end. Playing MG series for the first time and am doing it in chronological order, so this cleared things up between Snake Eater and Peace Walker.
mineraftguy123 If you want to really start the series off right, start with Metal Gear (MSX version; found in MGS3:Subsistence as an add-on). Either that, or start with Metal Gear Solid (PSX). The gameplay should be gradually be getting better, it should not fluctuate.
Kojima has said that Portable Ops, while he did not create it, is canon. He also went on to say that there are discrepancies, since he didn't write it, but the OVER ALL story is canon.
@@timekeeper2538 I know I'm responding to a 5-year old comment here but Portable Ops isn't entirely ignored. I mean, it introduces Kaz, who's a pretty big part of Big Boss's story.
Ya know, if you Stamina Kill him, you can unlock Python right away! His Careers are Scout & Quarterback & he has Unlimited Liquid Nitrogen Granades! Heed my advice: When batteling Gene, use M63+M870 or M63+M37 Combo & on ˝Extreme˝ use Large Medikit & Large Ration only when your Health & Stamina are bellow half!
phenomenal I played portable ops when it was released a good many years ago it's still very amazing from the plot to the dialog and voice acting also music it's all badass
If you look closely at the map in Portable Ops showing where San Hieronimo is, and the map in Peace Walker showing where Barranquilla Coast is, you can make you that Barranquilla in Peace Walker is technically a local place inside San Hieronimo, which explains why Kaz says the (in)famous line "leaving all that crap at San Hieronimo behind". Peace Walker literally starts where Portable Ops ends, making a fine transition between Naked Snake and Big Boss, and destroying any theory of Portable Ops not being canon.
This is a game made for PSP. This game did not had a budget as big as canon games that came out on PS2 and PS3 HD collection. Since it is a portable console from 2005 it had its limits. Games couldn't go above 5 GB.
I tried playing this on my PSP for the 20th time earlier today and like always got a bad wrist cramp trying to deal with the crap controls that remain crap so matter how you change them. Wish you could plug a DS3 into it >.> Screw it though, I'm just gonna watch this to learn the story between 3 and Peace Walker. Portable Ops is the only (non-spinoff) game not available on consoles so I'll just pretend it was released as a visual novel ^-^
Kojima said it was canon, but Peace Walker tried to downplay it's existence. Still an important story though, it shows how Big Boss starts to become more and more of a leader to men of his own instead of just working for others.
1:18:30 I remember watching this part and wondering what significance this soldier had to us. It just seemed like a throwaway cutscene moment until you finally check your soldier roster..it made me sad. He was the first one we recruited. RIP Jonathan. 😢
Idk any other game series where the protagonist will talk to another human being like this that has no real significance to the story, snake is a legend.
What I love about this series is that nobody's motives are entirely villainous. Most villains envision a better world, and even those who don't are just misguided. Because of that, everyone in the metal gear saga can be sympathised with, even liquid, or the fury. Hence anyone can find their favourite character, even in the villains, mine is ocelot for example, one of my friends liked miller after he left big boss, and another of my friends sympathised with solidus. Some even liked the philosophers, or zero.
That motivational speach at 23:53 remainds me of Scolar Visari from Killzone: "Ten years ago I asked for time and that time was granted by you, YOU, the strenght in my arms, the holders of my dreams. Defenders of the Helgast dream, NOW IS OUR TIME!".
I remember playing this on the PSP since 2009 this was my first metal gear game before peacewalker and this has a lot of good boss fights like metal gear, python, null, gene, cunningham, there is so much to name
In my case i consider this canon because in adition to the way this has the metal gear feel the other games have it is also because here we see Big Boss becoming a leader. In MGS3 he becomes the hero. The legendary soldier who saved the world. In PO he grows to be a leader. He comes to understand that there are men willing to follow him who trust him.
I think this is David Hayter's best voice acting in the Metal Gear series. He's just superb in this. That scream at 1:18:59 just gives me chills every time
I liked this overall. But since this game is only semi-canon Imma take the liberty to pick and choose based on how it conflicts with other games. The only real conflicting bit is the idea that Volgin nuking his own country was part of an elaborate setup to put snake in a position to steal the legacy. That was already the Boss' mission in the first place, so there isnt really a need to have Volgin do that. The whole reason snake goes in is because volgin goes maverick and nukes sokolov's research station. Then he blames it on the boss, and THATS why snake was sent. Retconning that seems unnecessary and stupid
I haven't played this game ever since it first came out. Really loved it. Can't see anyone but Miller when that first random soldier joined Snake's squad. How this lovely saga has evolved, that's true devotion to your work.
Thank you very much for the "movie" i just dident wanna spend 10 dollars for a game i knew i wouldnt like to play, not huge stealth fan, but truly love the story from metal gear solid. So thank you again for filling up the hole I had in the series
I really like this franchise but it's so frustrating to follow the full story given that you need to own many consoles and each game is heavily reliant on the others. As an example, PO and PW to Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain, without knowing those Kaz, Chico and Paz basically come out of nowhere. KefkaProduction Thank you for uploading these so I know what's going on without having to buy a handheld. You're doing Gods work
That scene, when he's saying "then you must be Big Boss!" is fun and touching to imagine that it really is Kaz. That he started out as almost a fanboy that was Snake's first capture.
Tormented Zeus I know, lol. I've played MG since the MGS1 came out so I don't need to (including the original MG games). I was just replying to your ''But he dies in 2001 Liquid kills him'' comment. That comment was just kinda out of place. I knew you were talking about Kaz btw.

Actually yes, it seems very much in character for that maniac.
Hes kinda dumb to
Not to mention he seemed pretty happy when he did it. Also his theme is literally called “clash with evil personified”

“Remember the Alamo” , as he nukes a lab.
It's probably Gene using his ability to persuade Big Boss to turn against America inciting The Boss, he does that in the fight. Since unfortunately this game is not considered canon in the main series and that information will never be used further, i think it's the best approach to take it as that.

Oh this is a psp game? Ok that makes sense. Annoying, but it makes sense. I enjoyed the story to 3 a lot and this seems like the sequel to that so I was looking forward to watching it. Ah well. thanks for the info. :)
If you are interested, another PSP game, MGS Peace Walker, is sequel to this one.
Sweet.
Metatron Peace Walker did it.
Elisa's death scene is one of my favorite scenes from any Metal Gear. It's been years since I've watched it and I'm tearing up again.
30:00

I'm still in the process of watching the Metal Gear series, so I have to wonder: Has there ever been a solder more tortured than Big Boss?
Saved, betrayed, saved and having to kill the woman who gave him everything. Muddled in the gruesome politics of war. Having his destiny laid bare for him. Destroying Metal Gears and becoming one of the very people who'll abuse them. And then there's the matter of his son, Solid. Sending him on a mission he was supposed to fail, in the original Metal Gear game. I hope to learn his true motivations later on, but I can't imagine the pain he must have suffered through.
Even his death, being burned alive by Solid Snake, must have been agonizing to the very end...
And learning the origins of Frank Jaegar. I used to think that he just didn't have it in him to leave war behind, even though he hated it, but being a killer was drilled into him too deeply. Poor bastard.
Guess Gray Fox and Raiden have a lot in common.
Never played the game so its great to see it. I find it hilarious how Snake just crawls out of the cell to all his gear in the opening.
He literally finds a Foxhound Sneak Suit in one of the cells apparently
This brought some closure to my question that went unanswered in The Phantom Pain: Why does Big Boss turn into a warlord? Portable Ops answers this, kinda, with Gene. Both were shaped by the Boss, and inherited her warrior spirit, but they lacked the loyalty to their country like the Boss. Then, combined with their hatred of politics and their desire to battle, they built their own bases planning to shape the world in their vision. From this game, Big Boss was destined to create his haven for soldiers. Still not sure how he got into FOXHOUND the second time after being at war with Cipher for 20 years, but oh well. Maybe in Metal Gear Solid 6.
Read the metal gear wiki.
Its awesome, and answers quite a lot of questions
for everyone who has a ps 3 the MGS4 Database is a very cool interactive Wiki
Thats because Big Boss created Fox Hound
@@raymondlisaola8716 But how can Big Boss create and run a U.S military unit when he left the U.S to make his own private army and Cipher who is running America knows he is against them?
@@shapen360 Cipher took him back because the SOP thought it was better to keep BB under their grasp as a FOXHOUND leader - but BB still ran Outer Heaven through Venom Snake, his phantom and doppelgänger. Rather try to make peace with BB than make him an enemy. Too bad for them it didn’t last. After the 1995 Outer Heaven Uprising, BB left FOXHOUND and created a new Army in Zanzibarland - which Solid Snake destroyed, and put BB in a coma.
Honestly, Thank you so much for making these.
Thanks for uploading this! This is the ONE game in the MGS canonical series that I haven't played and probably won't get to anytime soon. It was nice to find this on here to get this part of the story.
Plus, props for showing just enough gameplay to make the scenes understandable without having to show every last second of it.
This is the only game of the MGS main story that I haven't played yet, all due to the lack of me having a PSP. But thanks to this now I can enjoy it here without spending so much on a PSP for this game. :) Thanks for uploading. :)
Now you can buy a PSP :)
Mgs is that 🔥🔥🔥
You can emulate it if you have a pc or android phone.
Amaaazing story!! Defo important details about Frank Jaeger and about how outer heaven comes about
I wish this game was part of the mgs hd remake
1beatcher or MGS The legacy collection! I would be awesome wouldn’t it!
How do some people consider this non canon, this is important plot development!
roy campbell's introduced ffs!
It is canon but only the parts that don't form plot holes, the rest aren't canon
+COMBINEdotCOM Not to mention this is what sparks Big Bosses plan for Outer Heaven and explain's the stuff about Gray Fox.
+COMBINEdotCOM Because people can't handle if the canon doesn't fits as perfectly as a puzzle piece?Personally I think it's canon just for the whole thing being about the first operation by the Patriots to assume control of the Philosopher's Legacy and establishing who some of the founding members are. All this before MGS4 confirms it all.
Kojima said himself that it isn't. That's why.
+Gabe Fried Chicken Kojima is just a hack. This thing was more coherent plot than MGS 5.
Thanks for this. Got Metal Gear Solid Legacy and I was only lacking this one.
^
Kefka thank you so much for this amazingly well made Portable Ops fully story coverage!
If you've never played this game, but you've been playing peace walker, be prepared to be completely disappointed in the controls.
wait... snake forgot that the thing with the boss was a setup? EVA literally told him all about it on the recording at the end of snake eater.
+Guts He did not know that the goal was to eliminate the boss. He thought they changed the plan after Volgin launched nuke, but politicians hoped Volgin would use those nukes, so they could kill boss.
+Alejandro Knoxville Also, Volgin launched the Davy Crockett during the Virtuous Mission, NOT during Operation Snake Eater
***** Yet it was referenced in mgs 4 with eva and snake.
***** It went something along the lines "cia feared boss so they elimanted her".
+gronndar i just saw it and that was not it.
This was the first MG game I played. I intentionally avoided them because I tend to only like FPS games. But the guy at the local GameStop ( and an old fogie gamer like myself) said it was the only thing worth playing on the PSP. But also swore I would love it. If not, he would personally give me my money back. I played it. I LOVED IT! Now I am trying to collect and play the whole series. MSG2 totally blows my mind. Rather eerie in hindsight considering it was written pre 2001 (which it would have had to have been with a release date of 2001) and set in 2007 - 2009. Down right scary to me.
MGS3 was my favorite. The story was just...incredible. And the gameplay's a step up too.
Watching this before busting open MGS Collection to play Peace Walker for first time :D Hopefully I'll finish in time for Ground Zeroes.
This story explains how were the Patriots were born and how big boss made his own outer heaven.
For a spin-off game this is something of high quality ngl. This was my first ever MGS experience - still remember finding the cheat codes to get other playable characters like Venus, Python, and even Cunningham.
My heart goes out to that one rebel soldier who was betrayed by his country. It's like he was played like a DAMN FIDDLE.
This game's story is really moving and powerful there is nothing quite like the metal gear series.
Seriously, thank you! I don't have the patience to play PSP anymore, so this is wicked helpful! On to Peace Walker!
Very nice work, thanks for uploading this
Thank you so much for this series, I wanted to experience the Metal Gear story but watching gameplays can be kinda boring, and this is what I was looking for
34:19 Wow... I forgot how good many cool characters and moments there are in this game.
Watched this to get the story after completing mgs 3. Was amazing. I didn’t know some were saying it wasn’t cannon but golly it seems like it falls into place to me. I played the mgs series as a kid but never understood anything but now as an adult it is so interesting. The line by Elisa foretelling of the solid and liquids future was goosebump city.
First time watching this...WHY DO PEOPLE IGNORE THIS GAME?! ;-;
coz Kojima wasn't the writer and director.
daAmazin FatB0y that doesn't mean it's a bad game. I think it's important as it explains why Big Boss left The Patriots and it leads up to the events of Peace Walker.
Phoenix Tunes STILL. Its mostl likely the reason
daAmazin FatB0y maybe... Or maybe because Portable Ops was never forwarded to console but Peace Walker was...
Phoenix Tunes From what i hear, its not THAT important. It can be summed up in one sentence. Its a game that tells yo how Big Boss recovered the Legacy and used it as funds for MSF.
Peace walker barely acknowledges it too lol Kaz just goes "Finally, we can leave all that crap in San Hieronymo behind" and if he did obtain the legacy then it does not explain how they barely have any money left and are living in some random shack.
Maybe PO was good but Kojima doesn't seem to see it as canon and imo, if the original creator doesn't acknowledge it then it ain't worth investing into.
Just watched the whole thing, beginning to end. Playing MG series for the first time and am doing it in chronological order, so this cleared things up between Snake Eater and Peace Walker.
Lol, no it didn't! Nothing that happens here is ever referenced in Peace Walker, in fact Peace Walker downright ignores everything in this game!
TimeKeeper25 It kinda explained how BB started his army
mineraftguy123 If you want to really start the series off right, start with Metal Gear (MSX version; found in MGS3:Subsistence as an add-on). Either that, or start with Metal Gear Solid (PSX). The gameplay should be gradually be getting better, it should not fluctuate.
Kojima has said that Portable Ops, while he did not create it, is canon. He also went on to say that there are discrepancies, since he didn't write it, but the OVER ALL story is canon.
@@timekeeper2538 I know I'm responding to a 5-year old comment here but Portable Ops isn't entirely ignored. I mean, it introduces Kaz, who's a pretty big part of Big Boss's story.
'Shooting a soldier when his guard is down isnt really my style' -Big Boss
Yo Roy is probably the first guy who actually listened to Snake
When snaked requested him to call him Snake and not Boss/Big boss.
I squealed when Ocelot showed up. He's so cool 😍
0 dislikes, the way to go! Awesome job man! Really appreciate your work!
This was the game that introduced me to the Metal Gear series and I've been a fan since then.
You did a splendid job on this! Really caught me up with the story.
This is fuckin great ! Thank you uploader. My fave series never got to play this game tho.
Ocelot is gay for The Big Boss
who isn't tho
I'm not because I'm a hetero female :-P
Kimmy Queen your probably gay for him
3li L0rd You are late to the party everyone went home and you clearly missed the joke.
Kimmy Queen wanted to see what you would say
I love this game but haven't been able to play it in years. Thanks for putting this together.
Ya know, if you Stamina Kill him, you can unlock Python right away!
His Careers are Scout & Quarterback & he has Unlimited Liquid Nitrogen Granades!
Heed my advice: When batteling Gene, use M63+M870 or M63+M37 Combo & on ˝Extreme˝ use Large Medikit & Large Ration only when your Health & Stamina are bellow half!
I had all of them, null was really good.
phenomenal I played portable ops when it was released a good many years ago it's still very amazing from the plot to the dialog and voice acting also music it's all badass
If you look closely at the map in Portable Ops showing where San Hieronimo is, and the map in Peace Walker showing where Barranquilla Coast is, you can make you that Barranquilla in Peace Walker is technically a local place inside San Hieronimo, which explains why Kaz says the (in)famous line "leaving all that crap at San Hieronimo behind".
Peace Walker literally starts where Portable Ops ends, making a fine transition between Naked Snake and Big Boss, and destroying any theory of Portable Ops not being canon.
When you see Frank Jaeger's arc, Raiden's role in the series makes so much more sense
I wonder why the Codec conversations have no voice acting?
Funding
This is a game made for PSP. This game did not had a budget as big as canon games that came out on PS2 and PS3 HD collection. Since it is a portable console from 2005 it had its limits. Games couldn't go above 5 GB.
@@yashshetye6172 It's quite incredible how Peace Walker pushes the envelope when you consider this.
Storage space probably
It came out in like 2006 for psp. The psp at that time didn’t have a memory card much higher 2gb.
Thanks. I never owned a PSP and though I was finally able to play Peace Walker on PS3, this game eluded me.
This game is amazing! Worth the time and play. It definitely sets it up for Peace Walker.
I tried playing this on my PSP for the 20th time earlier today and like always got a bad wrist cramp trying to deal with the crap controls that remain crap so matter how you change them. Wish you could plug a DS3 into it >.>
Screw it though, I'm just gonna watch this to learn the story between 3 and Peace Walker. Portable Ops is the only (non-spinoff) game not available on consoles so I'll just pretend it was released as a visual novel ^-^
PSP emulation works really well on PC! If you follow some video instructions on RUclips you can play with a DS3, and it works really well
Map42892 I've tried to do with PPSSPP and all I got was a black screen. Can you tell me how you got the files for it?
You realize that Portable Ops is non-canon right?
Kojima said it was canon, but Peace Walker tried to downplay it's existence. Still an important story though, it shows how Big Boss starts to become more and more of a leader to men of his own instead of just working for others.
Radd Dudde It actually is canon, it takes place right after Snake Eater and there is important info that is referenced in Peace Walker
Portable Ops is awesome. Good voice acting, good dialogue and good story. Better then Peace Walker. I mean, Paz.....REALLY!?!?!?
Thanks I wasn't sure if this game tied into the rest glad I watched this should have been included in the hd collection
"Sorry, but I'll never be a father"
How ironic that they made kids out of him anyways.
Clones*, actually.
@@filipeflower the clones were kids at one point
@@SyndicateOperative Of course.
1:18:30 I remember watching this part and wondering what significance this soldier had to us. It just seemed like a throwaway cutscene moment until you finally check your soldier roster..it made me sad. He was the first one we recruited.
RIP Jonathan. 😢
Idk any other game series where the protagonist will talk to another human being like this that has no real significance to the story, snake is a legend.
What I love about this series is that nobody's motives are entirely villainous. Most villains envision a better world, and even those who don't are just misguided. Because of that, everyone in the metal gear saga can be sympathised with, even liquid, or the fury. Hence anyone can find their favourite character, even in the villains, mine is ocelot for example, one of my friends liked miller after he left big boss, and another of my friends sympathised with solidus. Some even liked the philosophers, or zero.
Volgin is just evil
the philisophers are shit, thank ocelot they ended.
That motivational speach at 23:53 remainds me of Scolar Visari from Killzone: "Ten years ago I asked for time and that time was granted by you, YOU, the strenght in my arms, the holders of my dreams. Defenders of the Helgast dream, NOW IS OUR TIME!".
Probably the best game I owned on the psp :) cleared the game over 100 times xD the online multiplayer was amazing as well.
Thanks, this was so useful. For some reason this game is the only one within the main story continuity that was left out of the legacy collection.
the voice actor for young campbell did pretty good sounding like a young campbell
I remember playing this on the PSP since 2009 this was my first metal gear game before peacewalker and this has a lot of good boss fights like metal gear, python, null, gene, cunningham, there is so much to name
In my case i consider this canon because in adition to the way this has the metal gear feel the other games have it is also because here we see Big Boss becoming a leader. In MGS3 he becomes the hero. The legendary soldier who saved the world. In PO he grows to be a leader. He comes to understand that there are men willing to follow him who trust him.
Does Kojima consider this non-canon? That'd be a bummer
I think this is David Hayter's best voice acting in the Metal Gear series. He's just superb in this. That scream at 1:18:59 just gives me chills every time
Who knew that Colonel Campbell was once a Green Beret when he was young
Thanks for this, moving from MGS3 to PW and this was great, better plot than I expected
Cunningham was such a great villian in my opinion.
I'm playing every single MGS in chronological order and don't own a PSP. thank you for this
I liked this overall. But since this game is only semi-canon Imma take the liberty to pick and choose based on how it conflicts with other games. The only real conflicting bit is the idea that Volgin nuking his own country was part of an elaborate setup to put snake in a position to steal the legacy. That was already the Boss' mission in the first place, so there isnt really a need to have Volgin do that. The whole reason snake goes in is because volgin goes maverick and nukes sokolov's research station. Then he blames it on the boss, and THATS why snake was sent. Retconning that seems unnecessary and stupid
I haven't played this game ever since it first came out. Really loved it. Can't see anyone but Miller when that first random soldier joined Snake's squad. How this lovely saga has evolved, that's true devotion to your work.
MGS franchise has honestly the best plot I've ever seen in gaming..
Awesome writing and voice acting
2:31
"C-Cunningham..."
"P-please be gentle..."
Thank you very much for the "movie" i just dident wanna spend 10 dollars for a game i knew i wouldnt like to play, not huge stealth fan, but truly love the story from metal gear solid. So thank you again for filling up the hole I had in the series
thank you for this! now I can play Peace Walker.
I really like this franchise but it's so frustrating to follow the full story given that you need to own many consoles and each game is heavily reliant on the others. As an example, PO and PW to Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain, without knowing those Kaz, Chico and Paz basically come out of nowhere.
KefkaProduction Thank you for uploading these so I know what's going on without having to buy a handheld. You're doing Gods work
16:50 That is Definitely Kaz Miller
That scene, when he's saying "then you must be Big Boss!" is fun and touching to imagine that it really is Kaz. That he started out as almost a fanboy that was Snake's first capture.
But he dies in 2001 Liquid kills him
+Tormented Zeus What's your point? This is set in the 70's...
Venom Snake For that you should play/watch all metal gear games mainly MGS1 and spc ops, I am talking about Kaz not BB
Tormented Zeus I know, lol. I've played MG since the MGS1 came out so I don't need to (including the original MG games). I was just replying to your ''But he dies in 2001 Liquid kills him'' comment. That comment was just kinda out of place. I knew you were talking about Kaz btw.
I liked this especially at the end with Rod Serling of the Twilight Zone and Night Gallery. thanks odieoreilly for sharing this.
