What a creative way to immediately unsettle/confuse the player who's about to play an epic game about war across the globe in a 21st century setting, geopolitical imbalance, disinformation, and media control. It’s similar to inland empire how it creeps you out. Bravo, Kojima-seyonara…
haha good thing you didn’t have to experience the fear of laughing octopus at 7… i’d do it all over again though this game holds a special place in my heart forever
I remember seeing these for the first time and being extremely confused. Like "did I start the game correctly??" Then I realized that these were the commercials before the movie.
From the ticker-tape on the nature documentary: "Body of Robespierre exhumed, used as decoration at White House holiday party for second consecutive year. 'Now if we could just find the head,' said White House press secretary--"
It's 2023 and it's actually crazy in Russia there is a PMC putting adverts on p*rn hub and it's a sexy girl telling men to "join the coolest private army in the world" and its basically just like these mgs4 commercials
Incredibly prophetic. Not only is there a Ben And Jerry's ad that literally talks about a so-called BLM revolution, there's a propaganda video on TV where Donald Trump calls Joe Biden a zombie. A FUCKING ZOMBIE. This is real.
I really wanna make a video about it, but the cook in the cooking segment is definitely Kojima and the hostess is Konami right? She's trying to sell to the audience/players a game she doesn't really even believe in or understand, while the cook is sweating away trying to piece together what he can with the scraps he is given. The hostess is constantly trying to appeal to the audience, even when the chef begins to comment about the outrage that he "hadn't made it sooner". You can even briefly see Kojima in the background at one point around 8:16, specifically when the chef is giving a speech about being loyal to the "people he's cooking for" AKA the longtime fans of the series. The final moments I feel are both a message to the audience and the Konami Higher-Ups themselves. He is drawing a line in the sand. No matter how popular the character is, and how much people wanted to see him again after MGS2 controversy, this is the last chapter in Solid's life.
Honest Happy Hater also, during that game show, are they in a spaceship or something? I can also hear other noise during say the interview with David. The chipmunk announcer during the workout commercial is stupid. My favorite PMC ad was for Ravensword.
With this clothes david looks like universal soldier from van damme, it is curious because the character of snake is bassed in part, in this actor, in mell gibson and some others 🎉

@@AndikaThe2000 No he means that the modern setting in the game had to be restrained at the time that could be showed to us. So ideas not able to be realized. If it released a few years later and 5 was 4 instead ( came first ) then we could have seen a even better title
I hope one day all the games get faithfully remastered. So much potential and brilliant creativeness throughout Kojima's games and so much of it inaccessible or just hampered by tech at the time
2024 - 10 years after the games canon events take place. It still seems so futuristic. I always felt MGS handled futuristic settings happening in more modern dates pretty accurately. It's like we are looking through an alternate reality due to La Li Lu Le Lo and the Will of the Boss and subsequently Big Bosses icon. Now because of the War Economy technology has advanced so far. Now we have one man in control of all of the worlds weapons. After he used this weapon, why did everyone stop fighting when they could have resorted to CQC or fighting with blades and other weaponry not affected by GOP? Those who did have grandfathered guns were probably put down quickly and those whose weapons worked immediately ruled along with Him. They are now looking at their new God. Their entire Government controlled by AGI. It's almost Utopia compared to other dystopian literature.

The map on the ocean show also seems to show war activity for a few split seconds judging by the planes and explosions seen on it.
