Psycho Mantis has weird layers to his mind reading

- This started as an investigation into why Vandal Hearts wasn't explicitly mentioned by Psycho Mantis. It turned into a detailed exploration of every possible line Psycho Mantis can say after I noticed that he had different follow up lines if the combinations were different.

Most of my time spent was setting up these recordings. I also wasted like an hour trying to get high trap count with low deaths, but even after hitting like 20 Claymore's nothing changed.

No way 🥴
I grant you the title of pretty good
Same here but It was because I was playing this game on the ps2. Even with the ps2 memory cards I can't save the game so when I was a kid I passed the game without saving.
Leave that ish on all night😂. I did that with ffx with no memory card. It broke me when I died 😢

i mean, thats. brought up again and again, but its not realy "that" impressive if you look at it.
its a mostly cube shaped object, in an controlled enviroment(aka there is no temperature they realy have to consider).. all they have to do is implement a check whatever the icecubes are inside the bucket(where iirc they dont melt) and if they not, just shrink the objects constantly at a slow pace while applying a new texture and spawn some water particles etc.
Its a nice attention to detail.. but itsnot realy an impressive attentiont to detail in terms of implementation

Is "Your memory is completely clean" from the last clip what happens when he doesn't detect any compatible saves?
Yeah, it’s when there’s no games to read off of
i think there is another line if you don’t have a memory card at all. but since i played the (awkward) german version i could be wrong.
@@alex.r.g I think he just says the low saves "You're reckless" line
Granted it's been two decades so I might be wrong too
@@Peratohtori no, you're right
I used to remove my memory card for this cutscene. It made it more badass when he couldn't 'read' Snake's mind.
Either way, the fact that a game from a console made in the 90's is able to do this kind of shit is amazing however you look. They put a lot of console tricks into this boss and therefore, was and still is easily one of the best in the franchise....
One of the best in the industry! We're still talking about him now and people who haven't played MGS know about him because of how well made he was. He's always used as a reference when discussing a great boss.
@@jackychang9148 I am one of those who haven't played it, so yea.

He does have a line for that: “Hmmm...Your memory is completely clean.”
Having Bloodborne or Sekiro in your memory card. “Trying to get your sanity back I see”
I can see the coding for that line including Demon’s and Dark Souls as well.
So? You like to lose sanity from FROM Soft Games?
An even cooler way of doing this, assuming the programmers knew their way around the file formats, would be to check your save data's contents. Like so:
"Oh, you've been playing Elden Ring..." *Mantis checks the bosses you've defeated and where your dropped runes are* "Ha! you're stuck on Margit?! Who knew the legendary Solid Snake was maidenless..."
"You seem to have lost your humanity before snake!"
Throw is hollow knight as well
Crazy amount of detail for a game on the PS1. We’ll never get a 4th wall breaking boss as mind blowing as Mantis again sadly.
i think in VR you could do something with it. Maybe instead of the boss reading your mind he lets you into his mind and then it shows your VR sets camera output, showing you waving around in your room.

I love how Mantis says Snake is suited to this 'stealth mission' when it is evident everyone seems to know exactly who Snake is, what he's doing there and where he is going. In fact the only person who doesn't know what is going on is Snake. Of course this is indeed Foxhound's plan, but Snake is a bit dim clearly since he takes forever to seriously suspect much is awry lol
To be fair, he is reading the mind of the player, not of snake. Part and parcel of the 4th wall breaking shenanigans of psycho mantis, like reading your P1 controller inputs
Snake supposedly has an IQ over 180 and is a genius but doesnt stop one second to question the mission "Donald Anderson" gave him even after Raven straight up tells him that "Anderson" is a terrorist in league with Liquid. Liquid of course who has mysteriously disappeared from that control room and doesnt have Metal Gears hangar under more than one guards watch even after catching Snake being present in it.
A real genius this Snake guy.
@@Tamacat388 iq just means book smarts though
@@generikusername What? IQ is literally the opposite of book smarts, like literally the entire point of IQ tests is to test intelligence without the reliance on 'book smarts', eg. anything memorized.

ME: 😱
Would be interesting if you can do the Nintendo version (Twin Snakes) and PC version.
This feature was completely cut from the PC Version.
I already made a video on the GameCube version: ruclips.net/video/S1z3deu5zik/видео.html
I thought there was also a line if you have a save file for International Track and Field on your memory card? (Unless that's only on PAL versions of the game)
That's a new one. Usually ISS Soccer is everyone's go to sports game. There is an unused line "You like to play Sports Games!" line, so maybe in the sea of those there may be an answer.
Agreed, it brings up the "You like to play sports games" line. At least it did for PAL version, no idea for the other regions!
When this released and got to this part I was legitimately impressed/terrified. It didn't take long to catch on but man what a great moment in gaming. Years later when the remake came out on Gamecube hearing mantis say I like Zelda was also a lot of fun.
Tricks on him. I couldn’t afford a memory card!
All I can remember is that in order to beat him you had to switch your controller to the player 2 port so he couldn't predict what move you would make...
You can technically beat him without it but it's very time consuming and requires shit tons of ammo.
In one moment you can also break a statue's mask and it has the same effect as switching the controller
I found a dump of Audio Samples from this game, and here are some note worthy finds.
"So you like Vandal Hearts" was recorded, they just forgot to make it play at the right time.
"You like Action Games!" was recorded, but unused. Strangely, this actually was re-recorded for Twin Snakes and used properly.
"You like Adventure Games" was recorded, but unused.
"You like Arcade Games" was recorded, but unused.
"You like fighting games, don't you" was recorded but unused. Kensei: Sacred Fist is the only Konami fighting game I know on the PS1.
"You like to play sports games!" was recorded, but is unused. Maybe This is where those ISS Soccer Rumors came from.
Mantis also has two lines judging you for your inability to avoid traps, but this goes unused since it isn't possible to trigger them because you can't get negative judgement on traps without also being poorly judged on your death rate.
"But you are careless around Traps" - Probably High Alerts, Low Deaths, but High Traps.
"However Traps are you weak point" - Probably Low Alerts and Deaths, but high traps.
As for the traps, Psycho Mantis does bring up negative points about those if you keep falling several times in the trap doors from floor B2 in the Tank Hangar.
I mentioned that. The issue is that, to my knowledge, it's impossible to get some of the combinations because falling through the trap doors will also cause your deaths to surpass the threshold, so your ability to dodge traps cannot be perceived negatively without also making your "Warrior" status to also be perceived negatively.
Intriguing. Where/How did you manage to get that audio files?

"You like Castlevania don't you?"

Here's a few that I made up. Psycho Mantis just randomly picks a small number out of the pool to comment on.
"So, you ran a simulation of your mission before the real thing. But this is not a simulation anymore, Snake." (Have another save of MGS1/TTS on your Memory Card that is completed)
"So, you favour pistols. Is this because they are easy to handle, or because your hubris has been unchecked until now?" (Use pistols significantly more than assault rifles or explosives)
"I see...you prefer to use assault rifles. Do you not trust yourself to be able to kill with single shots?) (Use assault rifles significantly more than pistols or explosives)
"Hmmm, explosives are your forté. Is this an underlying strength, or an underlying weakness? That's the question." (Use explosives significantly more than pistols or assault rifles)
"You demonstrate prowess with a variety of weaponry. The right tool for the right job, correct?" (Don't use any weapon type significantly more than another)
"So, you avoid killing where possible. Is this because you're allergic to violence, or simply capable at eluding patrols?" (Less than 10 soldier kills outside of forced encounters)
"So, you are merciless. Anyone even slightly in your path must die. You'll stop at nothing to achieve your mission." (More than 30 soldier kills outside of forced encounters)
"You get careless around patrols. You struggle to elude mobile threats. Or are you deliberately looking for trouble?" (High alerts, with more than 75% being from being spotted by a soldier)
"Sensory technology is your weakness. You concern yourself so much with patrols, that you don't check for security systems." (High alerts, with more than 75% being from being spotted by sensors or cameras)
"So, you are unusually hasty. Perhaps you don't want to be here any longer than you have to be." (Have less than 30 minutes accumulated on the current save)
"So, you are unusually patient. You wait for the right moment before you strike...and you can wait a long time." (Have more than 3 hours accumulated on the current save, AND low alerts and low deaths)
"Your chosen method of hiding to avoid patrols is unorthodox, but undeniably effective." (Low alerts, and hide under a Cardboard box for a total of 30 minutes of your current playtime)

psycho mantis has gotten a restraining order on and because of you. are you happy with yourself, .?
This game gave me such a unique feeling playing it. The white multi disc, dialogue, a haunting atmosphere at times, like how quiet it was after boss fight with raven or sniper wolf. The Easter egg ghost images in photographs. Immense story

What is hilarious for me is the first time I played MGS1 I didn’t know about the controller port swapping trick, so I beat Psycho Mantis while he could read my
mind.. it took like 1/2 hours to beat him dodging my bullets constantly but it IS possible to do, very time consuming and hard though.
He became a cakewalk for me after that when I found out changing the port makes him piss easy lol
Man I never knew so many voice lines existed, I NEVER heard that kicks your tires line before and I beat this game a lot as a kid.
2:30 I’m pretty sure that’s the combination and voice lines I used to get a lot as a kid. I remember hearing those lines every time I played the game.
I heard Azure Dreams and Castlevania lines a lot, never heard the SUIKODEN line because I never played it.
Imagine if there were a Steam game that did this by reading your library an detecting certain games that have playtime logged
I think it's possible, but you'd need to have a public profile with visible gametime. It's probably easier to just set up save detection, but it doesn't sound like the worst system.
So, you like "I love you Colonel sanders! A fingerlicking Good dating simulator" don't you?
First time against Mantis I legit wanted to take a pee when he knows I have an unhealthy habit for Castlevania SOTN.
I always loved games with an extra layer of interaction. I remember one where the game that one of the characters would talk about opening my CD-Rom and suddenly my CD-Rom door would open and the tray slid out and back in.
"Still don't belive me?" Door starts knocking irl
Also Mantis "turning off" your TV and disabling controller port 1 was so meta and so beyond the scope of a game back then fuck it was terrifying

I wonder how this would be handled on an emulator without having a memory card
That's an interesting idea. I remember finding an Audio dump of unused Psycho Mantis lines and they could certainly apply to a lot of different games.
If you use an emulator without the memory card function for the game I would assume it be the same as if you played the whole game on the original Playstation without a memory card. That being said, if you use the virtual memory card built into the emulator, it should function just like the original hardware.
Played on one. Works fine, it's just that s ton of his lines are omitted. He mostly only reads your data related to MGS.
When I played MGS last, Psycho Mantis was talking about Smash Brothers.. Mind you I was playing the Game Cube version..
He- "... why have you spent 3,600 hours in Fallout New Vegas"
"Why have you not?" -Me
Big Iron on his hiiiiiiiiiip
Can you imagine if a modern version of mantis would just go down your whole steam list?
"You have a lot of hours on Team Fortress 2..."
"I see, you're lonely... There's many visual novels in your library..."
In 2001, I actually tested out what Mantis says if you have a lot of Saves of MGS1 or less.
That was the only thing I didn't really explore in this, but that's because I remember the number required being absurd.
THANK YOU! I always wanted someone to do a complete breakdown of his speech lines!
