It may not look like it now but this games graphics were insane at the time of release.

In 2023 I’m still obsessed with the story of this game. I wish they were to make more games

The iconic "alert" sound is probably in more internet videos than any other sound.

Did you like my sunglasses?

When I saw the soldiers breathing steam from the cold and leaving footprints in the snow it was just mind blowing, it's hard to give context to how insane this was. My console before this was the genesis playing sonic 2 and lion king, so to go to crash bandicoot and then this it was unreal

I was there in 1998 when this game dropped. To this day, it’s remained my favorite game of all time. Even thou the gameplay is dated by modern standards, I feel like that is also part of it’s charm. The over the head view point. The blocky graphics. The constricting control scheme. It doesn’t matter. The heart and soul of this game has remained to this day. The story. The voice acting. The music. The characters. The cutscenes. All of it just felt so ahead of it’s time and felt like EVERYONE gave it their A+ effort. I play this game once a year on my PS2 because of the impact this game made on me. I bought a copy of Sons of Liberty, before I had a PS2, because I HAD to know what happened next. Rumors of a remake have come and gone, if a proper one from the ground up happens, then I say bring it on. If not, then I worry not. For I was there to experience a game that defines a genre to this very day and I can’t thank Kojima enough for bringing this game to the masses. Thank You for this video. I’m so glad to know that there are people out there who truly care about this game as I do.

Playing games for at least 33 of my 40 years, and this still remains in my top 15 or 20 of the thousands I've played. I rented it from the local video store the week it was released and stayed awake all night finishing it around midday the following day. I experienced it all in one go as though I was Snake stuck in that place until the job was done and I'll never forget the impact it had on me. There is only a handful of games that I've played like that, where I felt compelled to keep going and see it through to the end in one session.

We only don't need a remake because Konami without Kojima would completely destroy this series. So it's better to be dead and be loved than to be revitalized and be hated by everyone.

God, metal gear solid 1! I'd say that out of MGS 1 and MGS 2, MGS 1 is much more emotional. The codec calls are brilliant in helping characterize everyone! I especially loved the choice to give up. I felt like it was inevitable making it just that much more sad when I learned you can endure the torture. It gave me a really unique experience that I don't really think can be achieved with most of the games I've played by surprising me. All the speeches at the end of the game were also just so memorable and almost made me cry many times. I especially loved the speech on genes in the credits from Naomi. What a game! It was truly a masterpiece. You also gave me much more to think on. Thank you for that!

None of the nine Kojima directed games need a remake. Part of the charm of the series is playing them in release order and experiencing how the controls and graphics change. That being said, we need a port of the Legacy Collection to current gen consoles and PC.

Absolutely my favorite video game of all time! Played it on PS1 in 1998. Still have the OG complete game to this day.

I don't think they need remakes, more like remasters, games are already amazing.

This game was amazing and had me hooked at like 8 years old! Can’t believe how long ago that was and how fresh this still is on my mind. My favorite series ever!

I absolutely love the series. I remember playing all the way back on PS2

Even though i've never played MGS (My dad has played a few Games), it's lore fascinates me I hope you do more Videos about this Franchise's Lore .

I'm not sure who actually made the decision, but having Greg Eagles originally voice Gray Fox was a stroke of genius. A nod to James Earl Jones as Darth Vader that people seem to overlook. The fact that Kojima removed this from Twin Snakes is a hilarious bit of irony considering his love for US cinema.

We need a game with Gray Fox and Big Boss. A few pre ninja missions and some beginner snake missions with him learning cqc from big boss

Wow what an incredible video, please make more videos, especially about metal gear solid

This and Nier Automata share the top spot for me. Incredible game, incredible characters. I just played it again for the first time in 20 years. Yup, it's still amazing. It opened my eyes to what could be done in the medium. No other game came even close to the experience this game delivered.

The Digital Graphic Novel for the PSP was a unique way to re-experience MGS. The Grey Fox scenes were so well done.

I learnt from this video that Gray Fox can break you out of the cell. After all these years I never knew that

Gotta relax with that, best video game reveal is definitely 'You are Revan.' First time going through that scene was shattering.

I've said it once I'll say it again, Metal Geat 1 and 2 for the MSX needs a remake not mgs1

Loved this game and the pycho mantas fight is legendary.

One of the first games I ever got for my PS1 was metal gear solid, picked it up used. I was hooked immediately. Have played every game in the series except for some of the portable titles, I love metal gear.

I just want the first 3 games to get remakes/remastered or just get ported to newer consoles, I'm stuck playing phantom pain, survive, and ground zeroes 😭

_You're that ninja_ I remember looking at this very cover 1:07 back in 2001-2002, thinking:"dafuq is this game about" After finishing this game I was a believer

I like the way the graphics have aged on this. I don’t know how pretty they would look on a modern 4k huge television.

Nastasha wrote a book on the experience called "In the darkness of shadow moses" raiden mentions it

Remake? No. Remaster? Yes!

Just joined after this video would love more keep up the amazing work do

I remember playing the demo first from a gamer magazine, and I was in heaven. I got the game when it released, and it sucked you right in..yes I cried when sniper wolf died and the wolves howed in the winter silence. Ooo, that's when ya know you were invested. And that silly joy I got when I finally got the invisibility device ooo. But my favorite outside snake himself and, of course, sniper wolf would be grey fox. He was such a mystery and so cool that he just added to the experience. Mantis, with the taking over the ps controller, was wild to experience back in those days you actually felt dumbfounded. Overall, there are so many memorable characters and feelings and substances that it stays with you.of course, I loved 2 and 3 , 4 was iffy for me. Tho I did enjoy phantom pain. Of course, there was the training game after the first one before MG2. That was cool, just if to play around with grey fox. The remake for GameCube wasn't to bad tho but to experience the first MG is nothing like it and if to do a remake now would be interesting but would have to really try hard to capture the feel of the first. You can have all the fancy graphics, but to really feel like the first is a must.ps you also know your a die hard when you made sure to listen to every radio transmission and thst alone was a wild trip.

One of my all time favorites. When I beat it as a kid I wanted to forget the game so I could do it again for the first time. As an adult I named one of my sons Gray. This game meant something to me.

I love the way the character models talk.

I'm happy mostly everyone wants more Metal Gear content. At the same time we all got plenty of mgs content. Plenty! I know we all want updated versions on current gen. Just don't forget to say thank you and be grateful for what is already made. I got the Legacy Collection for the PS3, so my wishes were granted. I'm good!

I remember a time when the only reason I went to school was to look at screenshots for this game on this thing called the internet

If they ever do another MGS remake, I think they should include more in the way of content adapted from VR Missions. Hell, let us play a "Reverse/Rebirth" mode where you play through the events of the game from Grey Fox's perspective.

3:16 I always liked when badass fictional characters tend to be on the "shorter" side(by american standards). Typically male badass characters are 6'+( 6'3" tends to be the favorite). Now I've heard this is only partially intentional, as to the Japanese, 5'10" is actually considered to be tall. Which is why characters like Leon S Kennedy are 5'11" and the tallest RE protagonist(Chris) is 6'1". I think the varrying of Snake's height is them trying to scale it up to meet the american standards of "tall".

I've watched A LOT of MGS analysis videos (probably ALL of them on KZfaq lol), and yours is one of the best! MGS is my favorite game of all time, and my favorite of the series--it's because of the characters! I really appreciated your in-depth analysis on each... AND FOR SAYING NASTASHA IS SO UNDERRATED. THANK YOU. I wish we got more of her, either in this one or even in others of the series. I would love to see her beyond just a codec screen.

This game never fails to give me chills.

Thank You for the trip through memory lane. Mastery of a game! It was this game that truly made realize what gaming could be. And yes, GreyFix is also my favorite character in this universe

Scholar you are the Ace of the Childhood Air Force Squadron Thank You for revising this Classic that is close to me than anyother game I played this game when I was 7 with my Dad and Uncles and we all agree this was the greatest ps1 game for Stealth tactical planning and the story & characters

I am playing the MGS games for the first time and I am so happy I made the decision to start with 1.

I was there when it was released. Although this is a classic, I would mind a remake

Good video. Reminds me how much I miss the MGS series.

The old GFX and weird gameplay and polygons only make it MORE SPECIAL! If they remade this with an all-too-familiar over the shoulder camera, it would just be another Resident Evil 4 / Gears of War clone.

The ending of this video was perfect

every hit game deserves a remake with hd grahics and extra contents

Growing up with siblings means you share everything. Getting quality game time was hard but one afternoon my dad let me play this from start to finish. For 6 hours I had the big TV all to myself. It was here when I heard the after credits phone call and it got me really excited for the sequel. It was also my first go on extreme. I just liked the sound of it at the time. Had no idea the game was actually harder. 😅

The music at 5:26 is from the MSX games, right? 🤔 Excellent video dude, I started playing the franchise back at 2004 when I was 10, and still, I'm totally obsessed with this.

MGS is fine the way it is. What they need to remake is Metal Gear 1 and 2: Solid Snake. From pixelated 16 bit overhead gameplay to fully rendered 3D 4K gameplay with its same storyline intact. That is a challenge and something worth a remake.

That’s crazy some time ago I was thinking what was one aspect that stand ou in each MGS and the characters was exactly what I thought of MGS1, I do not recall what was about the others I think 2 was the plot, 3 the ambiantation, 4 being the culmination of everything and V the gameplay. I don’t remember if was exactly it but was something around those lines

Doesn't need a remake, but a re-release tweaked to run on modern systems easier. Figure out a way to get rid of the pressure sensitive buttons on the newer games too. Need XInput support to be a lot better in the series as well.

I like how Null's design is a nod to the cyborg ninja of you observe carefully

Not gonna deny MGS's influence and importance in the gaming industry, but I wouldn't say that MGS1 is a flawless game. The 2nd half really drops in quality when it comes to gameplay and the stealth is way too barebones. Some of the the dialogue is also pretty bad.

I recently play it on duckstation emulator and I was blown away how amazing this game is.

They're gonna screw it up the moment they remake it. Great video btw!

33:26 Exactly! They knew and it's fine! This is exactly the reason they'll never remake this game. I don't want them to ruin its legacy by chancing these character designs, dialogue, and humor for the "modern audiences". God damn, I hate that term.

It took me about a decade to find out Meryl was the Colonel's daughter. Was about to play MGS4, when I decided I should play 1-3, I wondered why I didn't have the stealth camo. Looked up how to get it, and was floored when the brand new Codecs came up. 😮

Only commenting so I won't get spoiled, but I just played through the first hour of Metal Gear Solid for the very first time recently. Controls are something to get used and polygons for days for the cutscenes, but the gameplay itself, soundtrack, cinematography, voice acting comes together and brings a level of intrigue that you're kinda surprised a game like this can be brought to life in a such a way, especially all these years later. The off putting feel of the graphics is literally thrown out due to how well directed the cutscenes & even character interactions on the codec are. And the voices that deliver said interactions, immersing you into the story. It's amazing how a game this old ages so well. I've been on & off on Metal Gear over the years, but this is one I intend on finishing & then go beyond from there.

found this on accident and immediately realized, "oh hey that's Saiyan Scholar! I've watched a lot of his videos already!"

MGS may not need a remake, but it definitely needs to be more easily accessible on modern hardware.

I remember missing the first disc if this game so I never could play it when I was younger.

The old metal gear games do need remakes though. I wanna see snake set big boss on fire in 4k

gta V didnt come out until 10+ years later but that Jim Houseman guy was the "Devin Weston" of THIS game

If gameplay gets a revamp, then I'm all for it.

Doesnt need it but, what the hell, why not, lets get nuts.

To this day the grey fox scenes are still sad to him saying hurt me more to his death scene amd snake screaming Fox.

The Twin Snakes was the Remake though. David Hayter took a huge pay cut to bring back the Original Cast. The phoned in performance from Jennifer Hale and lack off VR Missions did ruin the replay value.

Here we are, couple months later. MGS 3 ramek & MGS Master Collection Vol. 1 No one expected that but everyone need it so badly!!!

A remaster would be wild though. With trophies...

MGS is my Favorite Series of All Time

They might not need to remake Metal Gear Solid one but boy I would love a remaster of it I would love to see it in the style of Metal Gear 3 Snake Eater

5:38 you nailed it man

I love Gray Fox, such a badass. I used his color scheme in Warframe a lot since as the space ninja game it feels somewhat appropriate.

Maybe not a remake but definitely a ps5 and xbox modern update remaster. We do need the 2 metal gear from NES remake though.

I remember getting a free demo of MGS from Pizza Hut back in the day before it originally released. Anybody else remember getting PS1 game demos from pizza hut back in the mid/late 90s?I played that demo over and over for months until my parents got me a copy of the game. It is an all time classic and was super hyped leading up to its release. It was the game that changed what people thought about video games and what they could be. Before this we only had SNES and Genisis. It was a massive leap forward in gaming, maybe one of the biggest leaps forward ever.

Resident evil 4 and dead space didn't need remakes but I'm very happy to have them.

Honestly, i wish they'd do nothing but update the graphics and maybe controls, everything was perfect. The voice acting, score, everything was perfect

I remember when I played the demo from PlayStation magazine I knew I needed this game as soon as it came out. My friend at the time didn’t think it was going to be a good game but I convinced him it was amazing and he grew to love it. This game final fantasy 7 and resident evil 2 are some of my best gaming memories then later mgs 2 and 3 were just as good.

Clickbait, it worked, I clicked

in Metal gear you really felt like you're a special Agent that cant f*ck up the mission but the mission was a scam from the beginning tho, i so love love this game

I remember playing this game as a kid and just skipped all the cutscenes lol.

Love the video bro. this game is a master piece i still listen to the cutscene videos 20 odd years after first playing

omg saiyan scholar? i didnt even know you had a gaming channel and your opinions were based here too! insta liked

This game was pretty okay and cool. 8/10

Watching meme videos and i don't see many references after mgs1, that's quite telling. It's really better if Konami remake other mgs games, this one is too unique. No other mgs has this variety in tone and atmosphere, maybe because the ps1 sometimes makes a whole different vibe. Like the Com. Tower has enough to make it look and sound like a horror game underneath. The sound mixing is always at the red and boosted, the reverb in every place and cutscene, and the meaty gun sounds, to the little bits of radio sound. all those things creates a choking foreboding atmosphere that the future games just don't really have. I wish i could say that for MGS2 but it's too clean. it's fine, every mgs feels different and that's why the series will always be fresh. more over this series needs to die, and only be ported, maybe remake the older classics.

The whole series should be remastered and sold as a massive £200 to & £300 box-set on PS5.

I agree with everything excpet the Thumbnail

It already had a remake. And people hated it because….it amped up the silliness? Still good game

I would much prefer a remake of Metal Gear 1 and Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake. (Though, I would prefer a reimagined version of it, because the games didn't really had much of a plot since the series only became what we know and love after MGS1.) Since those games told the rise of Solid Snake and the downfall of Big Boss.

I agree. It's a masterpiece and the pixel graphics are charming. If they remake it, they'll make changes and usually it makes for a worse game. I rather have a new similar game with another title (Not MGS). A new IP.

It need to return on PS5 it's iconic game the masterpiece sony konami kojima it's US never forget never quit we need Metal gear solid back on playstation

i do believe older gen games need to remaster for the PC version but we all know that konami will never do that even tho they could make bank by releasing all 4 games in one ( hell even portable ops)

Needs an upgrade, not a remake... just use the same music and voice acting with next gen graphics. Involve Kojima!

MGS may not need a remake but it could definitely use a port, currently the best way to play it is on aging hardware with more then likely a burnt disc (since the physical discs are getting rarer and rarer with each passing moment) OR play the GoG version which is functional even if it's lacking a lot of features (doesn't play nice with non 4:3 monitor resolutions, can't really emulate the psycho mantis fight, is lacking rumble support almost entirely). The original is fine but as time goes on that experience is going to be harder and harder for people to actually play.

I do agree that MGS1 is special, precious, ICONIC Classic. Yet my old ass would love if somehow we kept the game the samr... in all aspects storyline , game play , canera work , story telling script... but we just upgrade it to nowadays graphics... just from curiosity...even though I have no problem with his 90s PS1 graphics that I revisit quite often

Absolutely stellar character analysis.

If not a remake, then a port to pc for the entire series because this is probably the most difficult series to emulate flawlessly, especially mgs4. It's really sad.
