An upside down copy of a level under the level is usualy a cheeky way in early PS2 era games to do reflections in puddles which probably explains the times you found upsidedown locals.
one of the best games of all time man. we were all blown away by how it looked 20 years ago. still holds up i know they di a face lift in 2008 i think but still so good.
the mirror world is just that, a mirror, to make reflections in older games usualy it would be as simple as making a semi/translucent surface and having a fliped world on the other side
@@maxaazerty "Real time reflection is still a thing in 2024" What? What are you trying to imply with this statement? That said: This technique was employed long before this game to great effect.
@@Unethical.Dodgson I think he means how real time reflection is such an obnoxiously demanding feature that is greatly achievable nowadays but back then better solved with a trick like this. THat's what im gonna asumme im also confused ngl
29:26 I never knew about Hiro Usuda's gravestone detail. But now that you mention how she was involved in the game and also Silent hill 3. That explains why there were Silent Hill 3 paintings in the room right before meeting Granin
11:31 😂😂😂 12:57 I did saw a video where some guy recorded his playthrough by goofing around, he showed where The End was going while using the Stealth Camouflage, he knocked out the guard who was taking him but The End wakes up and started to flee and disappeared just like that 14:51 🤣🤣🤣 17:00 the ladder gives me more of a Red Faction II vibes because it reminds me of the sewers levels but a bit polish 21:12 I remember someone was curious about this from the same video I mention about the guy who was goofing around, it was pretty funny that he somehow teleports into the bathroom right before Johnny gets there because his diarrhea was gone after being seeing Snake there 22:57 I'm pretty it was boxing, not wrestling because of the bell noises 24:48 I can see that you also heard of his drama 28:37 maybe it's because it only works on first person view, during The Boss death scene, when her horse appears, you could see The ghosts of The Boss and The Sorrow where they'll be looking at Snake while they fade away during first person view because you don't seem to show that one neither, but what about the part where The Boss and EVA were mocking at Ocelot while leaving?
The corridor under Granins lab with that sliding door you mentioned is part of the other side of the buildings underground corridor to the jail cell (the one you wake up in if you load your game in the End sniper battle and he’s not dead of old age) there’s two stairs to the basement. One to the jail side- one to the researcher’s side where you find Granin. They’re “connected” but because the sliding cell door locks off the route you have to take the East stairs to Granin. It’s odd they made the corridor two separate maps… I wager these were made just in case someone actually clipped through the sliding door bars KJP were trying to stop speed runners sequence breaking it to just go down the west stairs and into Granin’s office almost immediately. That’s why the room in there has no details inside, there’s a real version on the other “wing” connected to the other stairs.
Seeing Guy Savage in color was sooo friggin cool! Right on! The house at the end is a safehouse set up by Zero. Calling TO the Night just might be my fav MGS song, period. Oooowee that song is amazing!

ahh yes! great spot as if that slipped my mind, good spot there, because there is a jail cell section in grains lab, after the end put you to sleep you put in that room in the cutscene
The End will also take you to the cell during his fight, because I got jumpscared by him where he spotted me hiding on the tall grass and shot me on my first try fighting him
I always wanted to see how much detail there was in Granin's room. And also know if Sokolov is inside the room before the door opens, since if we throw a grenade through the window he dies and the mission fails.
Guy savage is a rom separate from the base game, but build in into mgs3 overall iso, the same way the skating minigame in mgs2 is, you can even run the skating minigame separate if you that determined
3:45 There were games on PS2 that used full blown physics models and ragdolls. A little bit of "swaying" isn't anything to write home about on PS2. There were games on PS1 that had that. (Yes. I'm not shitting you. This is the most mundane thing on the PS2.)
The map was repeated most likely upside down to catch a reflection like linoleum floors, or the water reflected before going into the warehouse early games used that for mirrors
I played 3 and subsistence well into the ps4/xb1 era. I spent so much time in that game it isn't funny. Probably my longest played game besides FF11. Can't wait for the remake. My reason to finally buy a ps5.
15:53 that's Huey's dad. The photo is from WWII when USA and Soviets were allied. Otacon's grandfather worked on the Manhattan project. Huey never said he personally knew Granin.
Huey got the plans for Zeke from a "russian friend" mentioned in The Phantom Pain. So quite possibly Huey was the friend that Granin mentioned. At the very least it's a retcon.
It has a lot of conflicting info around it, even before peace walker was released, so I'm not surprised the uploader went with the most recent bit. I think it being Hal's granddad makes more sense tho. But it's too unimportant to care.
Kojima the kind of guy to hide character idol animations, secret cutscenes or Easter eggs outside of the games borders, just for people with a free cam mod. And you know what?? It's funny because kojima apparently was a really huge fan of the interactable cutscenes in halflife.
I actually bought the PS2 LAN adapter for this game to play online with other players. That’s how I remember how long I’ve had my PSN account, it was around the time this game was released.
I hope they add the same poster girls back but in better graphics and add the models names in English on all of the posters cus in MGS2 and maybe MGS3 (I cant remember) they had some posters that didn't have the models name on the posters so put them on Konami we want to know who these lovely ladies are 😂
Reflections, my dude. The warehouse with the upside down map is for floor/puddle reflections. They used the same technique in the first and second game.
I think the posters of models stem from MGS2. I think Kojima wanted his staff to have their favorite models (which have more of an icon status than in the western world) showcased in MGS2, which carried over into the later games. Great video! The scene with Johnny just standing there, describing how he pooped his pants is hysterical lol T posing The Boss like a scarecrow is spooky
Little clip of ocelot saying "flithy american dog!" While snake stands there with the british flag painted on his face killed me bro edit for time stamp 7:29
Nah man all of them are in real time with in-game assets. It's wild they could do that back on the ps2. Same with reflections how they just put a map under the map to create the illusion of reflecting water. The devs back then really worked magic
The only reason why you would flip a world upside down would be to fake reflections, many games employ such tricks in their games also when it comes to mirrored surfaces that reflects whats behind the scene, when it's just duplicating you and the environment on the other side whenever they enter that zone where you would see reflections of yourself inside them.
This is such an interesting video. it crazy to think all these years later and you're answering questoons I've been curious about for like 20 years,lol thanks so much for doing the tedious but fascinating work!🫡

What a great idea to share these tools and knowledge. Huge thanks for that!
An upside down copy of a level under the level is usualy a cheeky way in early PS2 era games to do reflections in puddles which probably explains the times you found upsidedown locals.
fascinating thanks bud!
exactly, each mirrored level has reflective elements on the ground like puddles or polished floor. Semi-transparency makes an illusion of reflection.
This was a fairly common trick in this generation of consoles- I believe RE4 used the exact same method for a few of its reflections too.
They used the same trick in first MGS ;)
Yo thats interesting
Wow, that's actually very interesting, never thought that something like a free cam would be possible in MGS3.
one of the best games of all time man. we were all blown away by how it looked 20 years ago. still holds up i know they di a face lift in 2008 i think but still so good.
Gran Turismo 5 has such a great soundtrack.
I love the gran turismo music.
13:38 the upside down map either is, or was going to be, used for a reflection. That's how it was done pre-shaders. Copy,paste,flip.
13:40 my best guess is that there are water puddles so they wanna try a mirror effect like in MGS1
Mgs4 next and explore the Shadow Moses Island
AMAZIIIIIIIIIIIIING !

I never realized Eva removing your transmitter was supposed to be a sex joke.
the soviet posters/tirn ail are drawn by an old female artist in konami who did textures for the game
14:55 😂😂😂
(clapping) wooooaaaahhhh
the dr disrespect joke thrown in made me LOL sub well earned!
The upside down rooms is to create fake reflections on the floor above.
It’s a cool little trick, you gotta admit
Yeap , A lot's of old games use this method, because real time reflection is still a thing in 2024 :)

Anytime you see an upside down room, it's for reflections, like when there's a puddle of water on the ground.

No, it's the reference to Ground Zero obviously
Its crazy how simple these designs are due to PS2 limitations but work so well at delivering realistic graphics for its time

24:48 I can see that you also heard of his drama
28:37 maybe it's because it only works on first person view, during The Boss death scene, when her horse appears, you could see The ghosts of The Boss and The Sorrow where they'll be looking at Snake while they fade away during first person view because you don't seem to show that one neither, but what about the part where The Boss and EVA were mocking at Ocelot while leaving?
