If you weren't around when this game came out you can't understand how amazing this game was for its time. The graphics, the story, the voice acting. It changed people's perceptions of what a video game could be.
it didn't really for me. I just saw a bunch of movie stuff, but the other elements were already present in snes and ps1 jrpgs, as well as a bunch of pc games.
@@FrogFraction Oh? There was a bunch of snes, pc and jrpg with the same kind of stealth? Can you mention them? I am looking forward to test those retro stealth games.
You ain't wrong. Heck I still play a lot of old PS1 games with their old glitchy graphics and outdated polygons because I don't want to forget that storytelling and gameplay beat out graphics every time as long as you have enough imagination. To be frank though, I think the look of these games, the way textures would stretch at certain camera angles or just vanish entirely, letting you see through walls or the way character models looked like papercraft puppets made of boxes held together by string, I think it's part of the charm and appeal of these games. Look at Spyro's recent remakes. Sure the new graphics and textures make the world look cool and real but I think something gets lost in the transition. I'm not saying to never remake games, MGS: The Twin Snakes for example is still a great version of MGS, some of the PS2 Tenchu and Armored Core games remade levels from the very first games and they looked fine, Tomb Raider 1 vs Anniversary, even the FF7 Remake and Resident Evil Remake. There is stuff to love in these. Remakes are not inherently bad. However, they should never replace the original content. MGS: The Twin Snakes is a good remake of MGS, but there is just something about the original that cannot be replaced and I have to say, the old graphics are part of the irreplaceable, and inimitable spirit of the original.

I watched this trailer on Game Event in my country on huge screen. It was like a commercial brake. It ran 3 times during that day. And every time huge crowd gathered when it started playing.
I did.. was 6yo in 1997. But maybe this was for PSX or casual players.. some of PC games of that exactly year and era almost had superior 3D graphics, but yeah compared to that age it was mindblowing. Also, that team Kojima had for MGS1 on PSX was totally new at 3D texture/modelling. None of them had experience, they builded everything from scratch without almost know what "3D" means, so it is more pretty impressive.
@@Devilot91 The graphics for the time were impressive but the biggest thing it had going for it was the camera angles, cinematic cutscenes, Hollywood grade voice acting, storyline and dialogue. Compare this game with Resident Evil, which has embarrassing VO and dialogue, but similar graphics (+terrible camera angles)... Makes for a much better experience which even holds up today.
The beginning of this trailer with Grey Fox using his katana was one of the major selling points for me and what eventually got me to go to the toy store and buy the game (yeah, we bought games at the toy store back then). The guy in the cashier had me call up my mom to receive permission to buy the game as I was under 15 y.o. lol
The boss battles were amazing. The stealth mechanics were so well done, it didn't even seem real. It felt like the biggest jump I had seen in video games since atari to NeS. I drove 50 miles to pick the game up on the release date. It was such an amazing experience. Metal gear was released, then about two months later Zelda Ocarina of Time was released. It was such a great time for gaming
Great eye! I think in someone's hacking of the metal gear pilot disc, there is a weapon called "ROBOT." Perhaps in the early days it was MG MK2 and then switched over to the weapons side? Or visa versa
It sure as hell was revolutionary. It also instantly became one of the Playstation's flagship franchises. 1998 is widely considered as the peak of the video games' history. MGS1, Ocarina Of Time, Pokemon R&B, Resident Evil 2, Half-Life, Starcraft, Thief, Banjo-Kazooie, Spyro... So many heavy-hitter GOTYAY masterpieces, coming out on different systems, all very different from each other.
Played the demo at my local Wal-Mart, back when they had the monitors you had to crane your head back to look up to. Played thru till the vent crawling part and knew I had to ask for this for Christmas. Got this along with NFL Blitz for PS1 that year ('98) and my idea of what video games were (and could be) was changed forever. It was like playing thru a big budget Hollywood action movie, made better by how postmodern and philosophical it got towards the end. True art and emotion delivered thru a state of the art PS1 game for its time.
Same here for me... I played through it multiple times in walmart before I finally convinced my mom to get it for me as early birthday present.... It blew my mind!
The storyline and amazing game play was at another level unlike before! This game was the reason why i bought a PS1 in the first place! When MGS2 came out, that game was also the reason i bought a PS2 and the best part it was backwards compatible with PS1 games. 2 systems in one! Metal Gear Solid is still my favorite of all series! Such a classic.
Oh well...! 16 years since i have played this game... Awesome!.. Gran Turismo, Metal Gear Solid, Mushashi, Crash Bandicot, Medievil.... for Playstation Disc Demo 9.

'Metal Gear Solid' is easily the greatest video game of all time. It was like playing an action movie. The atmosphere, the tone, the depth. Insanely good. None of the other games in the franchise even came remotely close to capturing a speck of the magic that this game has, and the overall gaming industry took about a decade to catch up on styling, story quality, and development effort. Even now, the story of 'Metal Gear Solid' still has the exact same impact as it did back then. A timeless masterpiece.

Can you believe there was a time in the game's industry when one would advertise a Metal Gear game made by Kojima with the line "From the director of SNATCHER and POLICENAUTS"? Truly a diferent world back then, times sure have changed.
That part was unintentionally hilarious... Those games would hardly make the cut on Kojima's resume these days, if they do at all. Love him or hate him, Kojima's impact on gaming is immeasurable.
Back then this trailer on VHS was my only way on recording the full theme to a music tape to listen to it on my walkman. No internet back then, so i hooked my VCR to my stereo system. I am old.
My father bought this game for me when i was 8 years old. Now that i am 33 i can fully appreciate how extremely far this game was ahead of its time. Everything about it was just so next level Btw no wonder it took me +200 hours to finish this game while having no clue what it was all about
Not joking back in the late 90´s and early 2000´s here in sweden I used to get cd´s and dvds back from E3 a few weeks later to watch about upcoming games. Now it sounds like stone age living!
Man I remember having a PS1 demo disc with this gameplay clip on when I was out 8 years old (I’m 32 now) and I would just watch it over and over blown away by how good it looked and how good the music was. That part in Otacons office when Snake is shooting Ninja used to get me so hyped as a kid, hell it still does! What a fantastic time to have been alive and be the first generation to experience this absolute masterpiece for the first time, a solid part of my childhood right here.
Being a young kid playing this game when it originally released. Blew my mind. A game with a good full narrative story with memorable characters with Action & stealth gameplay in a 3D world. Just wasn’t a thing back then. Nothing like this existed until this game.
This is how the legend was born. One of this games that was shaped millions perception and view of reality. This universe is special for so many people. Sad that this story have come to end for now. I hope in future we will see in somehow, some way reactivation of this
Man. I could just imagine the hype! after a trailer like this being shown off to a gaming population used to side scrolling and text based story telling... Ooo boy!
Edgar Larios not quite bud. You sound like you’re pretty young. By 97’, we already had 3D games. Ocarina of time, Mario 64, Tekken. We never had a game like this though, adult oriented with mature ideas and attention to detail.
J. S. Yup. I jumped from the N64 to this. I mean, don’t get me wrong, it looked amazing when I seen this on one of those ps1 demo discs I got with the PlayStation magazine, but it wasn’t like we jumped from Donkey Kong Country 3 to this, haha.
@@dallows3235 this game is more than that my dudes it about ideas and ideology what is right what is wrong can you kill for you country or say fuck the government
I first watched this trailer on one of the demo disks that came with the official PlayStation magazine (good times). My childhood was basically spent playing MGS, Resident Evil Survivor (with the gun - creepy at the time for a kid), MediEvil, Crash Bandicoot and Spyro.
@@topdog2007 That's more Snake Eater my guy. MGS1 is about how genetics and "fate" have no bearing on your future, because it's up to you and the choices you make.
There are those special,unique and so unforgetable games that you play and replay them and they stay marked in your memory forever..every stage,every boss,every music track..this was one of those rare games.MGS,Super Mario 64,OOT,Soul Kalibor,Uncharted 2,GT3❤.
This is the greatest Metal Gear ever made! People tend to give credits to MGS3... but that's just because it was their first MGS... and it's a great game indeed but in terms of video games industry, selling and gameplay revolution, MGS1 got the job done.
I played mgs1 first about 10 years ago and I played them in release order. Mgs3 is I think objectively a better game than 1&2 because of how many game play features and story inovations it made however I prefer 1 as a game because of the more grounded style and amazing storyline with many twists and turns. What I'm trying to say is mgs1 beats out the rest of the series with its amazing presentation and its unrelenting will to create a story and gameplay so well intertwined. Mgs is my favourite game series of all time and a true cinematic experience
Got to experience it myself when I was 10. I'd actually played the (horrible) NES port of MG1 years prior, but I didn't realize they belonged in the same franchise before much later. The cinematography, OST, voice acting, atmosphere... many things in MGS1 were ahead of their time, and set up new standards. It tells you something when even the gaming magazines at the time could only recommend readers to try out games like RE2 or FF7 if they liked the MGS.
This was absolutely mind-blowing back in the day. I got this disc (PS1) from somewhere that had a few playable demos and a couple of trailers, including this one. I watched this for like twenty times in a row.
Trailer’s graphics were a bit more shocking than the actual release, but, damn, it was hot shit! Why don’t milestones like this exist in present day? No present shit can blow people’s minds away as this masterpiece did back then.
I was 7 years old in 1997, if i remember correctly this trailer was in the black demo disc that came with the ps1. Anyway this trailer back then made me love videogames
The funniest story from developing this game was he spent so much time making vr missions that he got told off for it and then ended up making it into a standalone game
I like the radar. Counting. And so much graphic technology i didnt expect to have on a ps1. Im still amazed, like glass breaking, realtime shadow (even just a shape), i mean besides the low poly models, most of the things still amazed me nowadays on the programing back in the days.
God damn, that was a lot of C4! Kinda funny seeing it being used in some areas where it's really just overkill. Also, seems like Snake and Meryl are just shooting at the walls for no reason lol
one thing that age doesn't take away is how fcking awesome the soundtrack and voice acting is on this piece of art. i was born 6 years after this game came out.
Damn I could be your daddy... But I too was blown away by this... I was there then when it actually released though and never saw anything like it before!
0:33 notice on the far right corner of the item select you see an item called MG MK2 well I see what Kojima was up to in development until mgs4 pretty sneaky If you ask me.
Fun fact : this trailer version was the japanese version of MGS that never got released. Thats why it got different camera angle and the healthbar were on the middle
Fun fact: You don‘t have any idea what you‘re talking about. This version for sure got released but what you‘re watching is a development version of the game.
Saw this on the PSX demo CD and my life was never the same. But I was disappointed I couldn't C4 the entire map and blow it up as shown. But after reaching the Bandana, what else could I possibly ask for in a video game...
I remember this watching at my mom job, we didnt have a PC but seen this on the internet was lole wowowow... dont care this game still holds up till this day..
Remember having to change the disc over half way through blown me away 😅 also the boss fight you had to change controller port to stop him reading your mind
Interesting that Snake's combo was going to be a spin kick like in MGS2. Obviously this trailer is more of a proof of concept than anything, while clearly being along in development; the pure ambition conveyed in the trailer is astounding, especially when you look at how much of this they pulled off, though different than displayed.
This game, FF7, Twisted Metal and Tekken 3 were mind blowing at the time. Going from SNES and Genesis to 3D was an insane transition, even though the tech was in the early stages. There were alot of shitty 3D games too. It was disappointing to see a lack of 2D games initially but it definately had that magic feeling. I first got a real taste for 3D games on a Best Buy kiosk for the Playstation. At that point that system became a goal.
This was at later stage of PS1's lifespan. Twisted Metal is so weak when compared to sequel and FF7 is just awesome. Game which was worth the hype it got. I personally think Tekken 2 was more impressive than Tekken 3.
@@vksasdgaming9472 TM 2 is way better for sure. TM 1 had a huge impact since I was coming off the previous 2D generation. FF7 and MGS were incredible at the time. I only played the first and second Tekken games long enough to beat the arcade modes and that was later on emulation. I cant say I played 2 alot. The third impressed me at the time though with all the unlockable characters and moves.
@@theconsolekiller7113 To me there are few games that have lived up to their reputations (which I do my best to ignore) in positive or negative sense. FF7 and it's Remake did it. Every Metal Gear Solid has done it. Cheetahmen 2 did it (it is awful) as well. Cyberpunk 2077 and Mass Effect Andromeda failed (neither is as bad or glitchy as they say).
@@vksasdgaming9472 I really enjoyed Andromeda. I went through on the Insanity mode and experienced very little glitches. I dont really give a shit about story so I was more focused on the gameplay. I thought it looked and played great. Cyberpunk I thought was decent. I didnt have huge issues with glitching on Series X but felt that the combat was pretty average. The world was cool though. FF7 Remake was top notch. It feels different than the original but has enough elements from the old atmosphere to make it feel fresh.
@@theconsolekiller7113 I liked Andromeda as well. It was more optimistic Space Western instead of Space Opera with apocalyptic tones so it just felt nice and light game to play. It also had exploration that first Mass Effect also had in it. More weight on gameplay - less emphasis on dramatic story. PS4-version of CP2077 ran well enough and I think both are bashed way too hard. Both had bad launch and then gullible sheep just jumped to hatedom "cuz it's cool yo" to hate something everyone else hates. FF7 Remake was exactly what I hoped: expansion and clarification of already fine story and execution was top-notch. It had very clumsy ending in my books as it just fragmented to pieces in the end and I just lost it.

You ain't wrong. Heck I still play a lot of old PS1 games with their old glitchy graphics and outdated polygons because I don't want to forget that storytelling and gameplay beat out graphics every time as long as you have enough imagination.
To be frank though, I think the look of these games, the way textures would stretch at certain camera angles or just vanish entirely, letting you see through walls or the way character models looked like papercraft puppets made of boxes held together by string, I think it's part of the charm and appeal of these games.
Look at Spyro's recent remakes. Sure the new graphics and textures make the world look cool and real but I think something gets lost in the transition.
I'm not saying to never remake games, MGS: The Twin Snakes for example is still a great version of MGS, some of the PS2 Tenchu and Armored Core games remade levels from the very first games and they looked fine, Tomb Raider 1 vs Anniversary, even the FF7 Remake and Resident Evil Remake.
There is stuff to love in these. Remakes are not inherently bad. However, they should never replace the original content. MGS: The Twin Snakes is a good remake of MGS, but there is just something about the original that cannot be replaced and I have to say, the old graphics are part of the irreplaceable, and inimitable spirit of the original.
this game was a fck masterpiece... And running on ps1. Go home kid
Mine couldn't handle suchs task, not enough brain ram.

Edgar Larios not quite bud. You sound like you’re pretty young. By 97’, we already had 3D games. Ocarina of time, Mario 64, Tekken. We never had a game like this though, adult oriented with mature ideas and attention to detail.
J. S. Yup. I jumped from the N64 to this. I mean, don’t get me wrong, it looked amazing when I seen this on one of those ps1 demo discs I got with the PlayStation magazine, but it wasn’t like we jumped from Donkey Kong Country 3 to this, haha.
@@dallows3235 this game is more than that my dudes it about ideas and ideology what is right what is wrong can you kill for you country or say fuck the government
I first watched this trailer on one of the demo disks that came with the official PlayStation magazine (good times). My childhood was basically spent playing MGS, Resident Evil Survivor (with the gun - creepy at the time for a kid), MediEvil, Crash Bandicoot and Spyro.
@@topdog2007 That's more Snake Eater my guy. MGS1 is about how genetics and "fate" have no bearing on your future, because it's up to you and the choices you make.
There are those special,unique and so unforgetable games that you play and replay them and they stay marked in your memory forever..every stage,every boss,every music track..this was one of those rare games.MGS,Super Mario 64,OOT,Soul Kalibor,Uncharted 2,GT3❤.
Happy 25th birthday mgs1! Released 25 years ago today on October 20th 1998 in north america. Sneaking games would never be the same again.
Sneaking games started with mgs 1 and died after 3 imo
My favorite game so many good memories :) chills when this game out its a true Master piece in the gaming world.
And to think Metroid Dread and Resident Evil Village were the most complete games in 2021 lol. My have times changed but this game is timeless.
That scream @4:56 though 😂
LIQUID!
Deeear brotha!
Snake!!!

"Did you like my sunglasses?"
lets face it we are all here for the synth at 1:28
Metal Gear Solid is the reason I started buying Playstation consoles
0:20 That's a really cool shot of Gray Fox. Sucks it didn't make it in.
probably because it was just a showcase. Look how polished it is for a PS1 model
but yea, its a really cool shot :)
This is the greatest Metal Gear ever made! People tend to give credits to MGS3... but that's just because it was their first MGS... and it's a great game indeed but in terms of video games industry, selling and gameplay revolution, MGS1 got the job done.
People who play mgs3 first are stupid
You right best mgs is 1 I played again on game gube twin snake remake. I have this game today at home 😉
@@artk2318 twin snakes version is way too easy though w first person aiming and hanging from ledges etc
I played mgs1 first about 10 years ago and I played them in release order. Mgs3 is I think objectively a better game than 1&2 because of how many game play features and story inovations it made however I prefer 1 as a game because of the more grounded style and amazing storyline with many twists and turns. What I'm trying to say is mgs1 beats out the rest of the series with its amazing presentation and its unrelenting will to create a story and gameplay so well intertwined. Mgs is my favourite game series of all time and a true cinematic experience
remember this video as it was yesterday, ps1 and a little tv. Those were the best days
this and Dino crisis are very legends
its 2022 and im still impressed, i can feel what it wouldve been like back then and these graphics are actually pretty good
I lived it it was massive jump in graphics back then
Got to experience it myself when I was 10.
I'd actually played the (horrible) NES port of MG1 years prior, but I didn't realize they belonged in the same franchise before much later.
The cinematography, OST, voice acting, atmosphere... many things in MGS1 were ahead of their time, and set up new standards.
It tells you something when even the gaming magazines at the time could only recommend readers to try out games like RE2 or FF7 if they liked the MGS.
0:33 Metal Gear MK2 first appeared in "Snatcher" it's another Hideo Kojima game
the best videogame of all time, a masterpiece!
This was absolutely mind-blowing back in the day. I got this disc (PS1) from somewhere that had a few playable demos and a couple of trailers, including this one. I watched this for like twenty times in a row.
This was my first game that I played that felt like an interactive movie game
Ladies and gentlemen, here you can see the trailer of the best videogame of all times
Trailer’s graphics were a bit more shocking than the actual release, but, damn, it was hot shit!
Why don’t milestones like this exist in present day? No present shit can blow people’s minds away as this masterpiece did back then.
Death stranding 2's trailer was quite close but still doesnt touch the effect this and mgs2's trailer had.
I was 7 years old in 1997, if i remember correctly this trailer was in the black demo disc that came with the ps1. Anyway this trailer back then made me love videogames
Still better than most games in 2021 ! Absolute groundbreaking game of a generation
why did you come see this video
@@ManaredPickens Because it’s better than most games in 2021! Duh!
@@Mr.Honest247 you ain’t lying there lmaooo
Games in 2021?
2021 was a desaster. Pure boredom in gaming.
Always remember the FMAS shooting the ninja and the C4 mega explosion at the end
Me this whole trailer: SNAKE STOP SHOOTING UP THE PLACE LIKE A MANIAC!
coronal: this is a stealth mission snake your going in necked
I see that many things were left in the drawing board. Kojima vision was always ahead of current technology. 😊
The funniest story from developing this game was he spent so much time making vr missions that he got told off for it and then ended up making it into a standalone game
4:43 the theme tune starts sounding like somebody saving Christmas back in the late 80s. (Except, you know.. with C4)
1:25 that soundtrack.. These were the days right guys
I remember I was a kid when this came out. I was so excited I saw it something like 1000 times. I miss those times.
Man, the highlight of the spy era. The 90s was a great time for spy content!
Great time for music ,tv , sport, global stability... 90s was the peak of humanity
This tell you how amazing PS1 era was
Selbst jetzt nach 25 jahre später bekomme ich immer noch eine gänsehaut wenn ich den Trailer anschaue
This was my all time favorite time to play video games I was an 8-9th grader when this came out I remember playing this game for hours.
This game and the VA for Snake is legendary!
The storytelling is on another level
This trailer really showed how ambitious this game was during the PlayStation One era. One of the best games ever released, even to this day
You just got to love the tagline including "Espionage", and then people firing assault rifles and pistols everywhere, and blowing everything up.
4:10 first time seeing Snake shoot it looked epic, then later I thought "what's Snake shooting at that angle? XD"
This game proves that time travel is possible as it was ahead of its time
best game ever made
Indeed is best game ever no other game is better than metal gear my childhood favorite
Nah. I prefer Snake Eater, although this is very close behind.
Hands down best game ever made , if you actually played this back in 1998 you’d know that.
@@mayovanexrodriguez608 best game hands down in terms of storytelling in games.
yep
I like the radar. Counting. And so much graphic technology i didnt expect to have on a ps1. Im still amazed, like glass breaking, realtime shadow (even just a shape), i mean besides the low poly models, most of the things still amazed me nowadays on the programing back in the days.
God damn, that was a lot of C4! Kinda funny seeing it being used in some areas where it's really just overkill. Also, seems like Snake and Meryl are just shooting at the walls for no reason lol
Me in 1997: wow! you can have a partner to fight with you that is so awesome!
I still hope someday someone finds a disc with this build of the game on it…I absolutely love this stage of development
Pretty sure it was sent out to few magazines and someone still has this. Only time will tell.
Games were lucky to have a few pages of dialogue before Metal Gear Solid came out.
This game shook the industry forever.
Remember 12yo me and my mate being blown away by the C4 part.
One of the best gaming franchises of all time.
now people are speed running this game under an hour lol
one thing that age doesn't take away is how fcking awesome the soundtrack and voice acting is on this piece of art. i was born 6 years after this game came out.
Damn I could be your daddy... But I too was blown away by this... I was there then when it actually released though and never saw anything like it before!
The kick that never was
0:33 notice on the far right corner of the item select you see an item called MG MK2 well I see what Kojima was up to in development until mgs4 pretty sneaky If you ask me.
The MG MK2 was from another Kojima game called Snatcher
Fun fact : this trailer version was the japanese version of MGS that never got released. Thats why it got different camera angle and the healthbar were on the middle
Fun fact: You don‘t have any idea what you‘re talking about.
This version for sure got released but what you‘re watching is a development version of the game.
Saw this on the PSX demo CD and my life was never the same. But I was disappointed I couldn't C4 the entire map and blow it up as shown. But after reaching the Bandana, what else could I possibly ask for in a video game...
I remember this watching at my mom job, we didnt have a PC but seen this on the internet was lole wowowow... dont care this game still holds up till this day..
Remember having to change the disc over half way through blown me away 😅 also the boss fight you had to change controller port to stop him reading your mind
at 4:42 you can see kojima predicting an attack on the twin towers
Jet fuel doesn’t melt steel beams
what a nostalgic trailer
Interesting that Snake's combo was going to be a spin kick like in MGS2. Obviously this trailer is more of a proof of concept than anything, while clearly being along in development; the pure ambition conveyed in the trailer is astounding, especially when you look at how much of this they pulled off, though different than displayed.
I'll never forget when I heard those magical words.... Hey what was that noise
This game, FF7, Twisted Metal and Tekken 3 were mind blowing at the time. Going from SNES and Genesis to 3D was an insane transition, even though the tech was in the early stages. There were alot of shitty 3D games too. It was disappointing to see a lack of 2D games initially but it definately had that magic feeling. I first got a real taste for 3D games on a Best Buy kiosk for the Playstation. At that point that system became a goal.
This was at later stage of PS1's lifespan. Twisted Metal is so weak when compared to sequel and FF7 is just awesome. Game which was worth the hype it got. I personally think Tekken 2 was more impressive than Tekken 3.
@@vksasdgaming9472 TM 2 is way better for sure. TM 1 had a huge impact since I was coming off the previous 2D generation. FF7 and MGS were incredible at the time. I only played the first and second Tekken games long enough to beat the arcade modes and that was later on emulation. I cant say I played 2 alot. The third impressed me at the time though with all the unlockable characters and moves.
@@theconsolekiller7113 To me there are few games that have lived up to their reputations (which I do my best to ignore) in positive or negative sense. FF7 and it's Remake did it. Every Metal Gear Solid has done it. Cheetahmen 2 did it (it is awful) as well. Cyberpunk 2077 and Mass Effect Andromeda failed (neither is as bad or glitchy as they say).
@@vksasdgaming9472 I really enjoyed Andromeda. I went through on the Insanity mode and experienced very little glitches. I dont really give a shit about story so I was more focused on the gameplay. I thought it looked and played great. Cyberpunk I thought was decent. I didnt have huge issues with glitching on Series X but felt that the combat was pretty average. The world was cool though.
FF7 Remake was top notch. It feels different than the original but has enough elements from the old atmosphere to make it feel fresh.
@@theconsolekiller7113 I liked Andromeda as well. It was more optimistic Space Western instead of Space Opera with apocalyptic tones so it just felt nice and light game to play. It also had exploration that first Mass Effect also had in it. More weight on gameplay - less emphasis on dramatic story. PS4-version of CP2077 ran well enough and I think both are bashed way too hard. Both had bad launch and then gullible sheep just jumped to hatedom "cuz it's cool yo" to hate something everyone else hates.
FF7 Remake was exactly what I hoped: expansion and clarification of already fine story and execution was top-notch. It had very clumsy ending in my books as it just fragmented to pieces in the end and I just lost it.
