It's truly astonishing the level of quality they came up with. It puts the entire rest of the 8-bit era to shame.

I will never forget the very first time I got to play this game. It was somewhere around the spring of 2004. I had recently found out about the MSX emulator called "BlueMSX" and downloaded the European ROM. After all the waiting and installing on some crummy custom desktop running Windows 2000 on a Pentium 4 CPU, I got to see this intro in all its glory with the speakers turned up. Immediately I got goosebumps. It was nice to finally being able to play the game that bridges the first to the PS1 sequel.

This is the #1 single greatest videogame intro of all time, in all gaming history. The song by itself is in the top tier of game music too, but the intro altogether with the animation and art is #1. It should be a violation of United Nations UNESCO international law that Konami has not remade/remastered Metal Gear 2 (2D) to play more smoothly. It's also weird that there aren't any indy games that use a 2D pixel art overhead stealth action style, except for "unMetal". We have a million metroidvanias but not any Metal Gear-Likes (1 or 2).

@@addi543 Nintendo of America censorship would have ensured that any translation completely changed the story to something much more generic, stripping it of anything that made it good. You can be sure that Big Boss would be completely one-dimensional. It's a shame that Japanese developers never developed for DOS, as that was the obvious platform to port it to that Western gamers used. The Mega Drive/Genesis was the probably the most realistic option, but even that would be censored (see Snatcher on Sega Mega CD).

Correction! This was re-released on the PSX2 & PSX3 with the new re-envision art work. Which was Emulated through MSX. NOT MSX2. I own this on MSX2 and the music quality is better and more clear. I don't know why they didn't just give us the MSX2 Emulated version. Trust me guys it sounds a lot better.

@lordraptor50424 жыл бұрын
That's true. But what you consider weird was actual normal. Snake was supposed to look like Mel Gibson. Like Lance Bean to Silvester Stallone and Bill Rizer to Arnold Swartzinegger. It was customary to be influenced by American movies back then. Also you have to consider the time this game came out. The art in the re release is fine. Still MSX2 is still superior.

What did you expect back in 1990? photorealism? You are well aware of the limited tech back then, so... I don't see the point. it seem you are in favor of the art changes which to me is great. I like it too. Still, we both know this game was re- released on a higher platform. I don't see why they couldn't emulate MSX2 on superior tech with the better art. Its stupid. While what your saying is true, that was something that could not be helped till now, my point on the other hand, there is no excuse. We could have had both. Since we have to make a choice, ill take the intended original with the best sound quality. There was no reason to make sacrifices on a higher platform. This is why Emulation Exists and people get fed up.
@CatManThree4 жыл бұрын
@@lordraptor5042 I said before that the problem was the tech limit though - that the issue was the portraits show up in poor quality due to pixel graphics and limited color palette. Regardless this discussion has reminded me that there was a sort of difference in intentions between the original and the rerelease if that makes sense. The original was focused more on creating an experience as if you were actually playing a hollywood military op action film, where as the rerelease focused more on working with the metal gear storyline/world and making the portraits look a little better with the graphical limitations. Anyway point is I have come to appreciate the original portraits more through this conversation.

I don't think Konami even considered it for home console besides MSX. Plus with MSX and Metal Gear, and Metal Gear 2 only being available in Japan, these two titles were not available to the western market until 2006. Metal Gear had an alternate version released on the nes in 1988 I believe. Then in 1990, the horrendous Snakes revenge was released on the nes as well. Kojima at the time was unaware of Snakes revenge until after its release, and decided to create the masterpiece that is Metal Gear 2 in response to that piece of garbage being released. Unfortunately western market wouldn't get a taste of Metal Gears true vision until the release of Metal Gear Solid. It was a shame that we didn't get the msx titles on base consoles at that time as I'm sure that the roms from the snes, and genesis could handle the games albeit possibly an altered sound bite on the genesis' part. At least we got the two true Metal Gear titles in our hands today.

In the description it said this is on PS3. The music on the Subsistence and HD Collection version always sounded like in the video, I play it on the Xbox 360, so I can confirm. Plus, the opening text and character potraits isn't like this on the original MSX version. The devs probably used the MSX instead of MSX2 for the music.
