    Having just finished TPP and already played GZ (of course), I can say that Ground Zeroes was much more an entertaining experience than the over 60 hours of gameplay I had with TPP. And I just did the main mission.
    The design of the island in GZ actually feels that it had some though put into it. It is really good.
    Also, it not being an expanded Peace Walker works wonders.
    TPP had my hopes flushed down the drain the instant that intro mission ended and I was presented with 3 "wetwork" missions that had nothing to do with the main plot.

    Man you're pretty much the only person who criticizes GZ outside of duration.
    And with legit reasons tbh. The series was concluded, so I don't think the directors cut of why big boss became so outright evil will be interesting. Really though, didn't Kojima want to move beyond MGS but publishers wouldn't let him?

      Murder LP Basically that. He said so on an interview. He was "free" after delivering MGS4 so the fans wanting a wrap up of MGS2 got what they wanted. Then he stepped up as Vice President of Konami's Computer Entertainment and deduced that from a business angle, more MGS games were a smart move and what the public would want. Since Big Boss was his personal favorite, he decided to create a new arc for his character and got inspired after to make all this games (PW-GZ-TPP) out of his free will.
      So people can try saying the games weren't as good as previous entries because he was burned out, but this new arc was all on him!

  • @Tamacat388

    • @Tamacat388
      @Tamacat388 10 лет назад

      VladNorris Well fans only threatened him after MGS4 was well into production and he had announced he wasn't going to direct. As for the corporative BS, i dunno, if he had no rights to MGS why would they not let him do whatever he wanted to get them money. The only problem I could see Kojima having is not having Konamis money to throw around. But then again I don't really know how these things work and am mostly thinking of Kamiya and how he seems to jump major developers and publishers all the time and still make what he wants to make.

    • @RenegadeOperative

      Renegade Operative Yeah any time he's left his team to make an MGS game without his direction it's been an absolute mess. But even if it was it would not have his name on it so who cares. After one disastrous Metal Gear without him the series would probably die.

      Thanatos388 It's already happened to Silent Hill and Castlevania for sure. It would be a sad fate but at least these flops would show Konami definitive proof that you can't sell a brand name from it's reputation alone without it being a quality product.

  • @PauLtus_B
    @PauLtus_B 9 лет назад +6

    About the shaky cam cinematography:
    Having been a growing movie fan in the last past years I've only been annoyed to see shaky cam pop up everywhere in movies. It started with Bourne where there was a rather close up fast moving camera to make the action seem more painful and "personal", but now it has just transformed into rambling the camera about to cover up the fact that they can't actually make action, also making you aware that there is someone holding the camera and you can't tell what's going on. There are people who argue that it makes it more intense but in the end it just breaks immersion since it makes you realize that you're watching a movie.
    Now it is beyond me how this ends up in a video game, you have absolute control over what you want the camera to do and then they decide to intimitate someone who can't probably hold a camera. Everytime I notice these shakes or the camera overshooting it's target and then moving back I'm aware of this ridiculous thing and just stop believing in the entire thing going on on screen. There's also a contrast with when you're controlling the camera in game yourself, it's completely stable (which is something I really want).
    This is by far the worst version of moviefying in games I've seen. People should know that "looking like a movie" and "cinematic" are too vastly different things. Cinematic has nothing to do with looking-like-someone-is-holding-the-camera or a letterbox-aspect-ratio (which is something that only looks great in a cinema, but on itself is not cinematic). Cinematic just has to do with something that would look great on a big screen, images that look grand.

      @imanoljesusdelpozo4907 4 года назад

      When the real Big Boss appears the camera becomes stable, but while playing as the double it’s unstable and hand recorded. Maybe it was a cool narrative tool that was going to be more fully realized if they didn’t cut so much content out of the game

    I'd love MSGV to be weird as fuck, like MGSII, i'd love Snake to get a call 30 hours in from David Hayter saying "You've been playing the game for too long now", for everything to break down into floating code and Kojima to appear out of nowhere.

  • @gamephreak5
    @gamephreak5 9 лет назад +1

    Honestly, the only way I can rationalize Kojima making another main series Metal Gear game starring "Big Boss" is that Kojima's leading the series up to the remakes of Metal Gear 1 and 2. Kojima did say in an interview some years ago that he'd love to make remakes of both MSX Metal Gear games.
    But that would also completely destroy the "big" plot twist of MG1 where "Big Boss" turns out to be the main villain pulling the strings, so who knows?

  • @SaberRexZealot
    @SaberRexZealot 8 лет назад +2

    Had MGS4 been a bit beefier in gameplay and properly developed its big twist there really wouldn't be any need for Peace Walker or Phantom Pain. It's called Metal Gear SOLID; it's ultimately the story of Solid Snake.

    It's pointless speculation but I'd actually be curious if the reason for the Raiden content being on Xbox and nostalgic content on Playstation is an expectation in different audiences, primarily in the ongoing idiotic assumptions of what Western gamers want versus Japanese. I have no real proof to support any such assumption, but putting the nostalgic level on the platform where Metal Gear Solid made it big while giving Xbox players the new and grimdark-ified character doing dirty deeds done dirt cheap, it just seems like a possibility.

  • @thebluestcrowe

    As a big metal gear fan - I can't help but agree with a lot of the points you make. I almost think Kjoma would be better to start a different franchise with a new set of characters. I also couldn't agree more with your examples of "out of place cinematics". A few of the bigger events in MGS4 felt out of place for me but i kinda gave it the benefit of the doubt with "Its the last one in the series - they want to make it as exciting as possible" even if that is biased and unfair (and now untrue). I really like the example you gave with MGS3.

However, if they made something about Snake in his last year (I don't know maybe he gets captured and has to fight, give us closure with Metal Gear characters, and lead into MGR) fine, if they add something about Snake before and during Big Shell fine, they could even do one about Snake becoming Snake (his training with Big Boss and Miller) I would be fine with that. Anything else, even I would consider to be milking. After this they should continue making Rising games, and fix they fucking "character arc" in Revengence.

    I might be alone in this, but I sort of want to see The Phantom Pain go from the formation of Foxhound into a retelling of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 for its climax. To see Big Boss's first meeting with the Snakes, his full efforts in command of Outer Heaven, and his final battle with Solid Snake from the end of Metal Gear 2, by actually fighting Snake yourself as the player. It would be a cool way to justify Phantom Pain existing, if nothing else.

    Gotta disagree with a lot of the views on the series as a whole. I much prefer Big Boss's story arch and want to see his progression into the Big Boss we saw in Metal Gear 1. Im really hyped for The Phantom Pain but that is what I think should be the conclusion... like no more addition to the main timeline. I want MGS1 and 2 remakes just so the story of those can be... addressed better. But yeah, PW and 3 are two of my favourite MGS stories. And MGS GZ for me shows well how gameplay wise the series is progressing. Cannot wait to see Kaz and Big Boss split up. And How Big Boss develops the Metal Gear technology further... and how they explain why the Metal Gears in MG1 and 2 were so shit compared to the ones in MGSPO/PW/5

    Glad to see you've recovered.
    Yeah, I'm not feeling GZ purely on a pricing standpoint and I'm not even getting PP when it comes out until it comes with GZ. I want the full game.
    My main hangup with MGS now is who's even running the ship at this point. It's easy to blame Konami on this, but did they really strongarm Kojima into making it? From what I took away from it, Kojima wanted to give players a taste of PP by releasing GZ first. Which is fine, until the price comes into play. If anyone's got an article proving otherwise, I'm all ears, but I'm under the impression that this was Kojima's idea; not Konami money-grubbing.
    And from what I've heard from him, Keifer fucking blows as Snake. Not that he ever had a fighting chance though. We've had 5 full MGS games with Hayter as Snake (6 counting PO), its WAY too late in the game to be doing this, especially with the main character.

    I will still buy phantom pain maybe. I think Kojima games releases a new MGS because there were so many people against MGR. And as kojima games listens to the fans here and there, they weren't encouraged enough to make a new one. But I can't wait for MGR2 :D

  • @TheClassicalgamer1
    @TheClassicalgamer1 10 лет назад +1

    Man I was really hoping they'd continue the story of Raiden from Rising, as I'm not really interested in the gameplay of the other Metal Gear games. But of course they have to milk the crap out of an old popular franchise instead of moving on to something more fresh and new.

    • @CtisGaming
      @CtisGaming 10 лет назад +2

      It's not really milking at this point. Even if we know how it ends we're still missing Big Boss's transition from hero to villain. Ending it here would be like Star Wars making the clone wars, having Anikan start being tempted, and then not showing his transformation into Vador.
      The gameplay has also made a HUGE leap forward w/out compromising itself. Have you ever heard of an open-world stealth game? This actually pulls it off, even if this demo is only 1 map. The side missions cuppled w/ the 9min. extend gameplay trailer shows exactly what's possible in it.

  • @Greviator
    @Greviator 10 лет назад +6

    I gotta say I strongly disagree with the notion that having more games about Big Boss is a bad idea. I find it incredibly interesting and fun to see what and how he slips into being the bad guy down the road. Just because we know how the story ends, doesn't mean questions don't linger, or it can be a great story to tell!
    Using that logic, almost every prequel story ever is not needed, not to mention you have a conflicting view saying that while MGS 3 filled a great role, no more are needed. That begs the question, why aren't any more need?
    Furthermore, I fail to see how playing Big Boss's change 'Ruins' MGS 3. I'm playing through Peace Walker and eagerly waiting MGS 5 (lol at everyone that paid thirty bucks for GZ). That's like saying the Star Wars prequels ruined the original movies for you. Obviously an extreme example, but serves the point. No matter how any follow will be, the one game will still be amazing, and still have that impact and emotionally changed ending.
    I do agree with the voice actor change, kinda sucks.

  • @JakeDeeJake
    @JakeDeeJake 10 лет назад +15

    The one mistake you made is assuming Kojima had the choice to actually stop making Metal Gears without either
    A.) Watch his baby get destroyed by Konami milking it with BAD MG games (I.E. Portable Ops)
    and/or
    B.) Quitting and trying to get hired by another 3rd party.
    He wanted to stop making MGS after 2, and was literally, LITERALLY, sent death threats to make MGS4. Which was ironic cause MGS4 was easily the weakest story-wise (With Peace Walker and PO at a close second), and even gameplay-wise in some areas (Act 3 is just plain awful on both accounts). It was both too silly and too serious for even Metal Gear.
    This game seems to be going mainly serious because thats how the ending of MGS3 would depict the rest of his life would be. All the amazing camp of MGS3 was building up to that heartbreaking ending that showed a miserable Snake who would soon become Big Boss. He is eventually gonna become a villain after all. This game is a lot less insulting to MGS3 in that sense, even if the camp is part of what makes MGS great. I still think its there though (You rescue Kojima in one mission, for example), just mostly in TPP as we saw from the trailers. So we'll just have to wait and see at this point.
    Anyway, youre right, this game didnt need to exist (neither did MGS4...), but if Kojima had to keep making MGS to satisfy Konami's wallets as he cries himself to sleep with dreams of being able to make ZOE3, Im glad he chose BB's story, even if we technically already know it, because its interesting. You cant just read the story of Metal Gear, you gotta see its execution to truly experience it (caus elets face it, MG sounds stupid when just trying to read the events. The journey is just a simportant as the destination after all.
    Plus Big Boss is a better character than Snake in almost every way. He's Snake except more personality beyond stoic and philosophical solider.
    Good video though.

    • @JakeDeeJake
      @JakeDeeJake 10 лет назад +4

      ***** Not needing closure because its all just an illusion anyway was part of the main bloody point/message of MGS2.
      MGS4 was balls story-wise because, not only is it subpar in a lot of areas compared to the others, but it just takes a GIANT crap on MGS2's (and even some of MGS1) much better and interesting plot.
      All that magic crap in the past games?
      Nanomachines.
      (Which still doesnt bloody explain the Cobra Unit btw)
      "Oh btw Zero is behind everything lol"
      "Wait WU-"
      "WEEEE CRAPPY CYCLE SEQUENCE :DDDD"
      It was insulting, and worse yet, it was an insult Kojima was forced to make on himself because of shallow and ridiculous fans.
      No, its not a bad game, but its an extremely flawed one. One which is hard to play through again after playing it once (Mainly because subtracting cutscenes the gameplay is only like, wut, 15 hours?), and was made only because he was threatened to.

      ***** " it's his game, not yours lol sure it wasn't perfect but if you guys don't agree with most of the things happened in MGS4 is just your problem at the end of the day"
      BULLSHIT.
      Because...
      A) If one person finds a game to be unlikable or flawed it's mostly opinionated. You can't say it's stupid to do so
      B) He mentioned a problem that's mostly a continuity issue, nanonmachines not working to make sense of the Cobra Unit. He also mentioned a poorly designed chapter of the game. How is that "It's his game, not yours" So now Other M makes sense because it's Sakamoto's game and not ours even when it has fatal inconsistencies with the Metroid franchsie? Again, BULLSHIT.

      Are you saying Metal Gear SOLID is not a story revolving around SOLID Snake? It kind of bothers me that the Big Boss games still have the Solid part. Though now that I think of it, Metal Gear Naked or Metal Gear Big Boss don't have the same ring to it.

    • @evilagram
      @evilagram 10 лет назад +6

      Yeah, I am. The same way Hitman isn't a story revolving around Agent 47 and Thief isn't a story revolving around Garrett. They're something bigger and more important than the facile stories applied to them. The game isn't about whatever character is playing lead, and changing that won't change what the game is, the thing that defines the game is the game itself.
