It's been a while since Hideo Kojima and KCE Japan's game changing 2004 opus, METAL GEAR SOLID 3: SNAKE EATER. What were the conditions that gave rise to such a game? Where did MGS3 come from, and where did it ultimately lead us? Watch the newest entry in Jorin Lee's INTRUDER to find out! We make a deep dive in this one, with a unique emphasis perhaps as an MGS3 video: not on the game itself, but the wider 'scene', the context in which it was born.
Jack! Let's 'subsist' together on the serpentine 'SCENE' of MGS3! But how does it taste?
NOTE: I'll be posting selections from the hand-written drafts of this episode to my Patreon later today, as well as an updated list of backers. Thanks for watching Boss!

The first mgs I played was msg 3 due to my dad being a mgs fanatic and thank u god he was he showed me the story and what games to play and in what order to help me understand the story clearer thank u dad I love u xx
Mine was MGS2 the day it came out!!! My dad and I played it together. We also played MGS1 afterward (kinda backwards, i know) hahaha great memories! RIP to my dad! He was one of a kind.
New 2 hour long video (+5000000 morale)
Thanks for that, Boss!
So glad to have found this channel in March 2020 because it's given us all so much to digest instead of just chewing on the bones of _MGS2_ commentary videos saying the same things as each other. Can't wait to watch this
This work has me playing the whole series, i actually bought a ps3 so i could play 4 😶 I was 18 when Mgs1 dropped on Ps1, we knew then how special it was.
Your essay's will be appreciated for many years to come as we develop our understanding of the significance of the series in its historical and social context.
Thank you for continuing to unpack the complexity of its many layers and connections.
Kojima studies is legitimised further with every essay you produce Boss
Did the same recently. I re-bought a ps3 with legacy collection. Loving it again.
I was 10 bud. Same though. One game made me play every single game since and before. 18 years old snake eater, we can only hope on its 20 yr bday we’ll get something remastered cause we don’t want remake’s like twin snakes. Still all the game’s are masterpieces
E.
From the future there’s a remake and og trilogy remastered for next gen current gen in my timeline trust from autumn next year mgs is back
and may please, i refer you to great and strong and unique creating of every specific Character personality in the game, which is rare in those time games and even now it somehow lost in graphics and gameplays and customizing games with money by silly things, not that they're not important , but furthermore creating unique bosses and characters in the story of the game is in advance for binding players to the games line of story and enjoying a masterpiece even non story teling games have had lost it in their games, though Detroit Become Human was one rare game yo can find these days which have this Essential element.
Not to put anyone in a competition, but I think Jorin has the best MGS content on RUclips.
You've reached new heights! This is the most comprehensive series of MGS essays in the world surely. Awesome work dude.
Literally 5 minutes in, my mind is blown at the parallels between the invasion of Iraq post 9/11 and the plot of MGS1 which preceded it by 3 years. 🤯
Yeeeasaah! I played through MGS2 and MGS3 last year as a result of finding your channel, and man it's really spoken to me in a way that few games, let alone media, rarely do. So I'm grateful for that! Also psyched for new vid! Thanks for the great content.
1:08:27
I find it interesting how the MGS2 Re-release includes a map layout of Arsenal Gear, but you only get a picture instead in the main story.
Kind of a neat little touch.
I usually don't wanna watch your videos when you release them I wanna spare
them to watch them on my TV in the Primetime to give it the full Attention it deserves.
I know it was still crucial to the job but The DD game design activities looks so fun lmao.

"V has come to"
Kept us waiting, huh? Nope.

Dang! That was so original even then! Teach me!
I'm in the middle of writing a series with MGS influences and, like most writers, I run out of steam now and then, but your videos always kick my brain into overdrive.
Bro I want to see that. Im gonna sub now.
E.
Currently playing and replaying every main series metal gear game in part because of this channel. Keep up the good work!
You are the only youtube I click like for every single video, great content!
Mgs3 was so influential in who I became as a human being, especially as a teenager. My mom died not long after I started playing Mgs3, so it has a huge place in my heart. It also started my camo collection... let's not discuss that though
Thanks so much for making videos.
I grew my hair out because I thought Snake's mullet was cool lol. Still haven't cut it!
MGS2 for me.
E.
sorry for your loss.
oh boi, I can't wait for your take on MGS4! Until next time Boss!
I know I've said this before, but I love this content.
The level of quality is so astounding. You can tell how inspired by Kojima he is because he also brings that cinematic gravitas to these videos.
The editing, pacing, structure, and aesthetic of these videos is amazing.
I know what I’m doing today after work.
Gonna watch Shang Chi?

"Neat, a new Futurasound video." *Click*
*clip of Godzilla: Final Wars* Holy crap, I won a contest to go to that movie's world premeire. November 29, 2004, Grauman's Chinese Theatre. I'll never forget that. Whatever else happens in this video is just decoration on top of the cake of that glorious and uniquely glamorous moment of my life.
get genuinely excited every time you post something man, you do such good work
I can't possibly convey to anyone I know how much your videos (and mgs in general as a result) mean to me Jorin. I hope one day to see a close friend experience and appreciate for themselves what your videos have done for me.
I literally just discovered your content. Saw the opening and was immediately impressed at the level of quality it is. You deserve way more subs!
I absolutely LOVE Futurasound's long-form videos! I legit got goosebumps starting this one.
Pavlovian content!
You're editing just keeps getting better and better and better and better
Would love to see an in-depth analysis like this for the kojima productions stand-alone stuff, like Boktai, Ghost Babel and Acid. Alot of good stuff that usually gets to the side for not being the main big thing.
dismissing them as "not kojima = not that good" is what i believe is a misconception many people do. Both gameplay and story are devirative of Kojima's style, as even pointed in this video, made by the "kojima clones". I even dare to say that not being connected to the main games is the big strength of the side stuff.
Awesome as always! Your essays are more than just some videos or reviews on youtube, they are enlightening pieces of art! ♥️
This was brilliant, thank you for the immense amount of time and effort that went into this
how does a 58k subscriber channel have such good quality videos its incredible
I always eagerly await another upload from you and you never disappoint. Thank you
I could not say better myself! Thanks for another mgs videos FSP, its allways refresing our mgs fans memories
Look, I really appreciate these videos. Playing these games as a kid and not truly understanding the underlying messages, you tie everything together incredibly and I appreciate it 👍
Clicked on this without realizing it's a Jorin Lee futuresound production video. Was happy to hear your name in the opening. Oh boy oh boy 2 hour mgs3 video!
I’ve been waiting for this!
Kept you waiting, huh?
The quality of your videos are Outstanding Boss!
The word-play in your video essays would make Kojima proud.
Bro your videos are so well made I’m bloody addicted next level videos.
You are doing amazing work with these videos of this masterful series. Can't wait for your MGS4 GOTP videos.
Intro gave me chills my g
Great content my dude. You should do at least a mini analysis on MGS Portable Ops, Kojima was involved and it gets referenced later on. Keep up the good work, Boss!
so glad i found your channel. I love your analysis of the series! keep it up
I find it fitting that this game in this video are taking a distinctly anti-militaristic point of view, and yet in true late capitalism fashion I'm getting advertisements for joining one of the various US military branches.
It's especially concerning to see the US military ads stylized like video games. Reality never ceases to wrap around itself in terrifying ways.
Kids raised on FPS'es
America's Army comes to mind
@@gt4666master They think it's cool to fight like this.
They need a steady stream of cannon fodder and brain-washed "gamers" are easy prey.
I finally got time to watch this! Amazing as always!
i already love the broadend perspective and context by narrating it all through contemporary history
Stellar video essay as always!
Great insight as always Mr Lee. Keep up the amazing content.
Favorite game ever. And you're page is detailed in ways I have never seen. You do great research and clearly put the time in Hideos world!
Learning that the director of one of my favorite Godzilla films worked on Twin Snakes. It makes so much sense now. I'll have to play twin snakes after I play metal gear solid.
Hell yeah my weekend just started and this is the first thing I see when I get home
I'm so glad I found these.
Really awesome series congratulations!
Yet another solid gold video. Never a moment wasted.
I LOVED THAT YOU GOT TO TALK ABOUT BOKTAI FINALLY
Your videos are just amazing!!!
I like the little breaks for ads.
2 hours hell yes Jorin. you and felix biederman are like my two favorite MGS scholars
Loving these ad break bumpers
holy shit, the leaf transition from 37:03 was unexpected
Oh man this gonna be a treat!!!
This channel deserves millions of more subs
👍👍👍 Definitely one of the best games of series. Well done video essay as well.
I remember being so hyped for MGS3:SE, and boy, did it not disappoint!
34:07 legit thought that was an ad the first time I watched this.
Amazing. You could lecture interactive art history at a university. For me, Mgs3 truly is one of the best games ever made. Therefore I really like the first part of the documentation. The in depth interpretation what lead to the creation of mgs3 both story telling, the zeitgeist of 2004 and even the trends in gaming industry over in Japan. Thank you for that. I also now understand why peace walker has been created. -also an awesome game with the parallels to kojima managing his production team. Hope the next Kojima game surfaces. I hope you have more on that in the future. :) Thank you!
Very insightful
Thanks for this. I fell asleep well.
Awesome! I get a metal gear solid video on my birthday! 🥳
2 hoursssss thank you senpai 🙏
On top of revisiting the development history of the MGS saga, this Intruder series is also an in-depth look at the past gaming eras, an examination of bygone rivalries, passing trends, historical milestones, and cherished memories, to sum it up the ever-changing 'times' of this medium. It's a nostalgic and instructive trip to the past I watch in daily bite-sized bursts, like a TV program, effectively replacing - and surpassing - the video game channel I used to watch as a teenager. Can't wait for the MGS 4 episode.
Another master-piece
Great video dude! As a lover of wildlife and nature MGS 3 made a huge splash on me as a youngin' and I'm a huge fan of the saga.
I did want to play as Snake in MGS2.
That said. Raiden grew on me. His character and somersault are as unique as his introduction.
The Best MGS Channel. Without A Doubt
Jorin has definitely moved up from his Metal Gear Master's Degree. Doctor Lee, another video too good for RUclips...
On this medium, you are on the level of the many great artists you discuss, or to say simply: "You're pretty good".
these videos are awesome, thank you so much for being so dedicated to putting out such excellent content!
Brilliant work as always, Boss. Age hasn't slowed you down one bit.
Perfect day for this to be released.
What do you mean
Sos un grande viejo
Heeeeeere we go!
A masterpiece, both the video and the game :)
MGS3 is Kojima's Magnum Opus. The Boss is the single greatest character in the series. Her hope for a better, united world is something that we can all carry with us, like the pettle of the lillie that rests in Snake's palm. "The survivor will carry on the fight, it is our destiny."
No.
Lol. Erm...No. MGS3 had some of the least developed characters in the entire series. The Boss was very underdeveloped. We get a 15 minute monologue about her background as an exposition dump just before the boss fight.
Don’t get me wrong. MGS3 is a fantastic game and I love it. But let’s get real - the characters (including Cobra Unit) were very underdeveloped and honestly quite underwhelming and the amongst the less memorable ones in the series.
MGS1 and MGSS2 had better storylines, more colourful characters who were more involved with the story and infinitely better voice acting. The Boss was an ok character but not great. She needed to be fleshed out more. Same goes for almost everyone in MGS3 (except Young Ocelot - he was the only fully developed character in the whole game.)
@@Snakeskin94 not a sufficient answer, treason is treason, all the same.
@@mistermohamed2574 Agree almost 100 percent. I love The Boss, and, I think her story is great. She sadly is just overhyped by the fanbase. The Cobra Unit is bullshit though lol, I love how people shit on Dead Cell, and B and B Corps for being "not as developed as Foxhound" but jerk off over The Cobras who literally, if you don't count gameplay, have less than 50 lines each, easily, in the entire game.
@@mistermohamed2574
Exactly.
I thought I was the only one who felt that the Cobra unit consisted of generic characters. Honestly, MGS3 felt rushed in some areas.
Oh yeah baby, it's show time.
My man is making 30 hours of content just explaining mgs3 and I’m here
I spent hours driving the RC car in Ape Escape. Love that game. Of course it was made by the director of my sub conscious.
idea- instead of trying to clone kojima directly, create 2 sons of his using his dominant & recessive genes, respectively & pit them against each other
Okay Boss I didn't expect to hear Ape Escape 2 & Metal Gear Solid 3 in the same Breath my hat's off to you.
Excelente Video!!! Long life to MGS!!
Warship Gunner was actually one of my favorite PS2 games, fairly slow sim-like gameplay with an extremely long and winding story that starts off historical and realistic and ends up futuristic and completely off the rails, seems to be a common trope in Japanese military games.
What is that banger in the beginning? Please!
Love the remix of the three snake eater versions
Dayum. Good one.
1:02:38 every time I finish the game I keep thinking of the music in the background here
I didn't think it was possible to know anymore about the Snake universe but here I am
Amazing work yet again. I absolutely love how so much of MGS is itself a commentary on it's reception and critique. Happy to hear you pointing out all of that influence and how it fits into the overall ethos of the franchise.
Watching this gets me excited for you to delve into Guns of The Patriots. Always hitting it out of the park.
It’s not hyperbole it’s fact. No one does it better than Jorin Lee. 🖖
First time viewer on your channel and this is seriously awesome! Only one thing that’s driving me crazy as I watch this because I’m a nerd: Ghost Babel was for Game Boy Color, not GBA. Anyways I’m a fan and can’t wait to watch more! Snake Eater will always be an all time favorite of mine.
"Kojima grew up watching Godzilla and Taxi Driver side by side..."
Aaaaaw yeah, that's the special sauce
24:20 it was on the Gameboy Color ftr. Great video btw👏👏
Did you do that remix of “Snake eater”?! It’s so good
Man i am 3 minutes in and this edit is CLEAN
