Snake's nightmares: Vampires, wolfman, murder Sigint's nightmare: METAL GEAR SHIT

If Big Boss was that scared of Dracula, I think he'd be absolutely terrified if he ever saw Vamp.

I THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY, I KNEW THIS WASN'T SOME FEVER DREAM I HAD

I was massively dissapointed when this wasn't in the HD Release.

He runs like Snake in MGS3. Should have been an unlockable costume. Also, damn shame it was cut from the HD Collection

These are some of those weird things that only happened in the ps2 era.

Oh man, when I discovered this on my ps2 version I was just in love with the dark, gothic, hack'n'slash aesthetic. Tragedy this didn't become a game.

As a little girl, this and the Sorrow boss fight terrified me as a kid but prepared me for future horror games

By putting a very serious, and very missable, dream scene, Kojima somehow beautifully manages to replicate the feeling of being unable to explain a dream to your friend. Imagine two friends who played the same game, while one missed the scene. It's a surreal situation when you realize you're alone in that experience itself, despite having played the same game.

I love how the Soviets never thought to confiscate his Codec

EVA's dialogue is cute. That woman really knows how to calm down. Charming and warm..

Found this by accident when I was 11 and it scared the shit out of me. I immediately shut my ps2 off and didn't pick it back up for like while after lmao.

Gotta say, for a playable teaser of a prototype, it really fits as a nightmare for Snake being trapped in a prison cell.

It was an absolute CRIME that this wasn't in the HD collection or even the 3ds version.

Legit thought I hallucinated this part as a kid.

Sigint's conversation is fucking fantastic here

“I was being attacked by monsters that looked human and Im...not even sure if I was really me,” Sounds like phantom pain

Crazy that I coincidentally found that on my first playtrough.

Big boss everybody. A big fan of Santa Claus and have worst fear with Dracula

"I was worried I stayed up all night worrying about you for nothing" Zero is such a mum

End of MGS4: Boss: Did I ever tell you about I dream I had this one time? Snake: What was it exactly? Boss: I was someone else trying to fight a horde of things. Snake: Really? I do that all the time.

It’s just kind of creepy that it’s just sound effects no music, looks like it’s a dark hack and slash like Drakengard or something

I remember playing MGS in my parents living room as a kid, and as I turned on the game I had a weird random thought "what if MGS didn't start and some weird other game did instead." I still have no idea why this crossed my mind, but it HAPPENED, this minigame started as soon as I loaded my save and I got major chills.

Snake may cry : devil eater

The area, character design, and graffiti makes me wonder what the plot for this game was going to be

Sigint has some... interesting... advice for Snake there.

-Metal Gear Solid VR Missions: Ninja Mode -MGS2: HF Blade -MGS3: Snake's Nightmare -MGS4: MGO2 Raiden Unique Character MGRR if you dont know now you know

This looks like Bloodrayne and The Suffering combined but in MGS3 version.

When i coincidentally found this i thought What!?Did i put the wrong game? What kind of devil may cry is this?.

17 years later and I'm just now discovering this

I always see this part like the Kingdom Hearts in dark horror version

Oh my god. Sigint's shit dream was oddly hilarious.

Even in nightmare, Snake still good at CQC!

this turned from metal straight to what looks like Nier

"Ready to save Snake?!" - Paramedic asked calmly

At about 3:49, there is graffiti on the wall that says "Stop the Bomb". This refers to 1979's "Stop the Bomb" graffiti art by Lee Quiñones, photographed by Henry Chalfant. In 2012, Chalfant released a series of books comprising his collection of subway graffiti photos. Humorously enough, half of the first volume is titled "The Vamp Squad".

I convinced my friend to save the game without telling him about this. I was dying when this shit started ahaha. I told him that he probably had a flawed copy and that another game was being recorded on this last part of the game! ahah he was furious

I remember putting my mgs3 disc in my ps2, then getting into this without knowing. I tought my brother messed up my mgs3 and i was angry then i was like... yo this is sick

"You better not leave me without someone to talk to" "hrnhhg"

I remember activating this by accident. I got really scared and I think I restarted the system afterwards. I was like 8 or 9 and spent probably like 100 hours on my first play through. I listened to every single codec call, mostly because I was pretty scared playing it on my own. It felt good to have the team with me. It feels good now knowing I’ve explored every line of dialogue in this masterpiece. Most recently I played it again (took me like 14 hours this time) and I remembered every single codec call. Beautiful. Just wanted to share that with someone. Hope everybody is having a great day

Damn, the combat in this dmc game is underrated

I remember this - I wonder if it was going to be a new Castlevania game set in some post apocalyptic world? - that might explain why they mention Dracula before hand. It was a great hidden game anyway and felt really eerie.

I was so mad when I found out that I had missed this by saving 10 minutes later.

I wish more games did this, hiding weird sequences just for the fun of it

I woke up on a Saturday , weekend off Elementary and booted the load file up. It was daytime and I knew Kojima put this sick game to showcase what other masterpieces he could craft. Weird how Kojima knew some people would stop at the torture part and take a break after their beloved Snake has just been tortured…

I've never seen footage with this high level of quality and resolution, or even one with such thorough analysis, thanks. (Didn't get to play this as a kid since my memory card would not work on this game for some reason)

I remember this. Imagine my surprise when I found this by chance for the first time, personally caught me off guard more than anything Psycho Mantis did!

I just read that this was the prototype for Zone Of The Enders 3. I guess it has to do with something about the fighting mechanics

I just realized how weird it is that they left you your codec

i love how smooth the dash feels,potential for having some really fast enemies and boss fights

don't know what I did back then but me and my brother was so confused to start up the game into this nightmare.. we thought we chose the wrong game

This reminds me of Nanobreaker, a hack n slash also made by Konami (and Produced by Koji Igarashi of Castlevania fame) back around 2004-2005. This has more gothic dark fantasy vibes, while Nanobreaker was more sci fi. It's a shame this was only a prototype, it has alot of good potential for a niche title.

Sulfuric acid, hallucinogens, after nearly 20 years, I just realized Kojima’s subtle yet genius hint at the possibility of experimenting snake with some soviet version of mk ultra. It all comes full circle.

This minigame is actually similar to Boktai 2, another Konami game that Kojima worked on. The player character is a vampire hunter with a nemesis who is reminiscent of Count Dracula. You fight with a sword and partway through the game you get infected with vampirism. As a vampire you have the ability to transform into a wolf, and if you attack enemies very aggressively you can go berserk. In a berserker rage, you fly around the room as a giant bat, killing everything and screaming like a man possessed. The drawback was that you couldn't control when a berserker rage happened and lost control of your movements while it lasted. You also lost half your HP, but you could always drink blood or use items to recover. The only warning the game gave you that you were about to lose control was that your character would shudder and groan suddenly during combat. You could either withdraw for a bit and try to calm down, or just swing away and let it happen...

I remember the first time that happened. It terrified me at first. 13 years old playing this late at night, of course but after playing it I wish it was a full game

Good grief, the level of detail put into this game is ridiculous!

I played Snake Eater numbers of times, even in the PS2 and check the funny looking save thingies in the memory card. But I never seen the MGS3 save file that haves the red flowers.

i remember how confused i was when i first encountered it. "well, i guess piracy can only take you so far..."

This gave me weird nightmares as a teen

I remember when I was 8 years old and got to this part. I was so scared of it that I had to ask my brother to beat it for me

Imagine when you had a crazy dream last night, then you decide to call Everyone in your phone list to tell them about your dream. Also wolf guy maybe confirmed Snake's real self.

Para-Medic in this game and Cassandra in Soul Calibur saga, have the same voice!

The most mind blowing part of the whole thing is the fact that it changes the PS2 Save Icon!!!!!!

This scared me so hard as a child because I had a "YARRRRR" version of MGS3 and I played it for the first time at night and I thought that maybe something was wrong with my copy to the point that I started whole game from the beginning...

Wish we had a full game of guy savage 🔥🔥🔥

Sigant was amazing. I loved all his codecs. He's awesome

Looks like this is doing the algorithm rounds. Thanks for uploading this. I only ever got to play this once back in the day. Since its not on the HD collection; it's nice to see it again in HD and not in '04 capture card potato quality.

He is wearing The Boss's white outfit the and black jacket is slightly similar to her poncho

I discover this just this year (2020), and it was beatiful because this is One of My top 10 games of All time

A part of me feels like this could have been something in the Castlevania Universe, perhaps during the Dracula War in 1999 during the time of Julius Belmont. It feels like Kingdom Hearts and DMC had a baby

15:18 The Bipedal Gecko foreshadowing.

I kinda thought of this as John Does empirical past in fear by the police in a rough city. Thinking that to himself being a knight of swords, graffiti on the walls, and police that are praised for protecting city would be his demise locking him up as a bad person on his suffering. It's a deep metaphor but these extracted things hes seen and felt mixed an emotion of his fears and wants and struggles. Perhaps as in the rough city streets John joined the army to get away.

Metal Gear Rising concept?

man, only Kojima would put a secret minigame with entirely unique assets and gameplay wholly unrelated to the main game locked behind an esoteric save mechanic and a completely optional dialogue tree just for a joke

14:17 Ah! Ah!

This seems like it would've been a *Solid* game to play.

The conversation between Snake and Para-Medic was wholesome

17:38 I wish EVA would sing me a lullaby

If I’m not mistaken if you check your memory card on the PS2 menu you can see that the icon for the MGS3 change too after saving on this same place

back when they put love in making games

I remember stumbling upon this by accident, amazing Easter egg!

This kinda reminds me of Bloodrayne with the whole vampire theme and that style of blades on both arms

First time MGS3 player (PS2 emulation), I saved the game in the cell and didn't come back for a week. Imagine my surprise when I returned and saw this.

Shame this didn't make it to the HD collection. I only ever played this precisely once on the PS2 version and never went back to it since I never had a ready-to-go save available. Then I sold my PS2 and copy of MGS3. Pity.

I had never been able to find this and I wondered if I had imagined it.

Of all the years I've played this game Never once have I found such an Easter egg mini game. Holy fuck

Hey look, beta footage of Metal Gear: Rising Revengance

I imagine if this bacame a game it would have heavy metal music in the background. But the lack of music makes it creepy.

I still remember the sounds of this mini game.

When I found that scene out the first time I played the game, I was so confused. Took the disc out thinking I put another game in but nope. Miss games like this.

Recuerdo cuando paso eso...que lindos tiempos

I waited my whole childhood for this game to come out bro never did

I hate how this was removed from the HD Collection of MGS3. This is one of my favorite parts of the game and one of the most interesting parts of the game. Removing this from the HD collection makes Snake mentioning he had a bad dream not make any sense. I wish this had been included in the HD Collection and it would’ve been cool if they made it into a full game.

This was a prototype made by a young team at Konami , kojima just included it into the game . There’s no special meaning or secret behind this . I was so confused when I discovered this lol

14:52 - 16:31 was legendary

wtf how did I never hear about this after playing this game decades later

Too bad we will never see that game released

Did any game come from this? It seems like a really well fleshed out hack & slash system to just have as a short, easy to miss, easter egg for a Metal Gear game.

I used to keep a save at this point just so I could go back and play this whenever

1:55 To bad Dr Clark was a manic for science she had really good personality back then
