Until Metal Gears are actually perfected, and mass produced.

Then the metal gears will be blasting this whist killing millions.... and it will still be as good of a song

Silent Antagonist WE NEED TO BUILD A METAL GEAR! AND A SOLID SNAKE !

*is this how you make bold letters*?

_Exactly_

"Hermmmm... why do I hear boss music?"

Such a lust for revenge... WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Big Boss: Damn you, Ahab -_-

MAJORRRRRR, *I'M BURNING UUUUUUPPPPPP!*

"Ah... son."

It's a shame the first two are overlooked. At least this is our boy Solid's theme song. Despite the Metal Gear Solid series afterwards, this song really captures the hero (though he would hate being called such).

@@Joetime90 A man doing a mission isnt a Hero in their view... Only a soldier practicing their Duty....

of course because KOJIMA IS GOD

1:39

I think it was too early to call him a god...

@@MismiMan Let's just call him Demi God.

Agreed

So much this. Keep in mind that this was 1990. Compare with the other 8 bit games available at the time.

Metal Gear is underrated

Just got into the series earlier this week, and I beat Metal Gear 2 for the first time last night. I'll tell you, I was just as blown away by this intro as players must have been in 1990. Seeing the full sprite of Metal Gear D appear after all the wireframe teases made me go "holy shit, this game is gonna be fucking awesome" and I was right. The fight with Gray Fox, Big Boss, and the escape from Zanzibarland is probably one of the best endings to a game I've ever experienced

MSX2 was also very big in the Netherlands and Brazil. I played both Metal Gears back in the day :D My username is based on another big MSX2 game from that era.

@@SeedlingNL Snatcher, I'm guessing? =P But yeah, the MSX also had its fair share of popularity in the Middle East too. Metal Gear was one of the first games I ever played. So it was honestly mindblowing for us when we jumped from 2D Metal Gear to 3D MGS on PS1 (I played the unofficially translated rom of MG2 back in 2000 or so).

He really is the mirror of The Boss.

@@quirkyboyo9102 If you pay attention Big Boss and The Boss both talk about the current political powers of the world (Patriots and Philosophers) creating a system of endless cycle of war, which Venom Snake also nurtured in mgsv. Big Boss's Outer Heaven was meant to be free from that. So in reality Big Boss was never the villain. He's an anti-hero trying to stand against the villains but goes down as a monster for things he didn't do (that venom did) just like The Boss.

@@alexdeghost2729 Everything Venom Snake did was according to Big Boss's plan though, right? I thought the ending to MGS5 was when he realized that he was just a pawn of Big Boss and nothing more.

By the end of Peace Walker, Big Boss is pretty much a villain.

@@alexdeghost2729 This isn't exactly correct. Big Boss was never against war. His plan in the very game this song is from was to start a cycle of endless war. He was against soldier fighting for powers that saw them as nothing more than tools. He offered a place where they could fight endlessly on their own terms. He was still a bad person who wanted worldwide, endless war. It's simply that this philosophy was inherently counter to the Patriots, so they fought a lot. I still can't say he was an antihero, though. He offered an opposite, but equally bad, world to the Patriots.

Try the Snatcher intro. Enjoy.

Agreed. (Said guy with Venom Snake profile pic)

Lewis Affleck 15 min tho

the snare seems a bit louder here but I might be crazy, that would count as a remix but I'm uncertain

@@CKT1138 Could be due to sound card differentials. I've noticed, at least on my own setup, that midis sound slightly.... Heavier on my PC as opposed to the original console even though its the same thing.

quite true. well said!

We all would love to see this.

Tell me Dark Messenger, is there a Silent Hills in your other world? If so, take me there.

@@ironbirdshredder77 Got room for one more? Count me in

BROTHER!!!! Yes please

@originalblizzardhawk644 that's right those chemicals burgers really were the most depressing point

Why not MGS2?

My bad, misread your comment (this is a re-write). That one too. MGS1-MGS4 (including 2)

Konami held a contest for game developers to remake some of their old games. So maybe MG1/2 will get a remake eventually.

@@artey6671 *cheers*

MGS3 Is getting a remake and it’s probably coming out in a year or two

I really hope this theme makes it back in, as well. This is actually my favorite Metal Gear theme among the lot (yes, even beating out Encounter and Snake Eater, but just barely because those songs are so iconic and catchy but this theme has history behind it in addition, y'know?).

@@shinigamimiroku3723 It's back! Although we don't know if its the same song from Brawl or a new mix. www.smashbros.com/en_US/about/index.html if you scroll down to new music you can see it in the list of music that's scrolling

The new remix of this theme is absolutely killer.

For SSBU?

Yeah.

Turn off the lights, and the music will be more fitting.

kraeckelium The End, what are you doing on KZfaq?

IM IN

hey man, from one generation to the next you got the right taste to get yourself in the zone.

Enjoy your life man

+Jimmy good point :)

Nice find. Thanks!

I watched Thief for the first time the other day and I heard the song you're referencing and thought the EXACT same thing!

それが、MGS4でスネークの夢だから

どうでも良いけどメタルギア「ソリッド」は開発段階ではメタルギア3だった。 あと、初代メタルギアがでて小島氏は続編は作らない予定で居たが、続編が欲しいと言うプレイヤーが大勢出てきて、パクリ（少し言い方悪いけど）まで出てきた結果、小島氏が続編を作る事を発表し､出来たのがメタルギア2ソリッドスネーク。

I agree.

What I'm hoping for is a series of remakes. MGS3/PO/PW, and the unremade V all have the same musical style with songs like or even exactly just Sins of the Father. MG1-MGS4 in the chronology all get intro'd with this.

Your Gay Father If it wasn't for what Konami was doing right now what I think needs to be done for the metal gear franchise is take the scraped concepts of MGSV's chapter 3 and make it a game and then we get a remake of Metal Gear 1 and 2 as a single game called Metal Gear Solid 0

And sounds great to boot

Ultimate’s remix is frickin’ amazing.

Fun fact, the remix was done by Platinum (looking at its details in the menu). I can believe that.

All you have to do is buy a Nintendo Switch and the song comes with a free $60 game called Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

I'm so mad! I like the og so much!!

Honestly, is there ANYTHING unlovable about him?

"You enjoy all the killing, that's why"

Then do yourself a favor and just... play 'em. There are literally hundreds of thousands of people around the globe who'd love to be at your place - not knowing this story and to be able to experience it for the first time. Again. It's about honor, about duty, about the horrors of war and the corruption of good intentions. This is Metal Gear.

@@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253 i also like to choke people to death after tapping on walls

@@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253 honestly this comment aged wonderful

@@RAIN_2001 the only thing that is better then the Metal Gear Solid games in terms of pure soul-strengthening goodness is The Wonderful 101. But that is not fair to Metal Gear Solid - everything pales in comparison to The Wonderful 101, even other Hideki Kamiya games. And that is one hell of a wave to jump over.

@@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253 im having an absolute blast playing this games and i really want to marathon them but i cant emulate this on pc nor i cant buy a ps3 so i really hope vol2 of master collection will include this game

MGS 2 theme is probably the best.

@Rasuke11 snake eater (in my opinion) is the best mgs ever

@Aaron9 Exit the planet.

MGSV quiet theme is cool too

MGS4 had the best music in any MGS game hands down, heck it even had the iPod, so in game you can listen to many Metal Gear tracks. I wish the Walkman/iDroid in Mgsv included Mgs throwback tracks like the iPod did.

They really went all the way with accuracy there too, I noticed that the cannon actually ejects shells and only the barrel that's in battery is firing, you just don't see that in retro games

I would label this #3 Peace Walker #2 MGS2 #1

+AlexDeGhost MGS3 all the way.

SlenderNugget actually MGS V might be better..hmmm

duck films bad dude!

What makes you like this more than MGS3? I can't say I prefer either of them over the other.

@@artey6671 "What makes you like this more than MGS3?" It's really close, and MGS3 is a great game. I'll try to be as brief as I can about why I like MG2 slightly better. Three main reasons: 1. MGS3 has a painful amount of tutorial. The Virtuous mission has about 45 minutes of talking before you even get to Sokolov if you don't skip anything. 2. MGS3 has a lot of well-made and complicated systems, but a lot of it is clutter. It often feels like "oh I didn't know you could do that", but that's because it doesn't make sense or the game doesn't really tell you. Blowing up a food or ammo storage building instantly makes everyone nearly pass out from hunger or have no extra rifle mags. I get what they were going for, but it still doesn't really make sense. Or like blowing up that one helicopter means you don't get the helicopter patrol later in the game. How is a player supposed to guess that? It's like a game of "guess what number I'm thinking of". I'm not even going to get into the clock method for skipping The End. 3. MG2 gets to the point and lets you engage with the core gameplay. You're sneaking while you explore, you're fighting bosses, you're solving puzzles. Everything moves at a good pace. MGS3 is slow, but not in a good "tension building" way. New players are encouraged to crawl everywhere very slowly and constantly change up their camo (through a very slow menu system). The problem is that the slowness isn't suspenseful because it's too safe. Anyway, MGS3 still stands as a masterpiece to me. But it has more of those little issues than MG2 has.

@@TheMisterGuy Hmm, I kind of agree, but not quite. MGS3 has the menus, yeah, but MG2 also has a fair bit of menu usage if I recall correctly (it's been a while). If you play MGS3 on EE, I'd say it's more suspenseful because getting caught makes you lose the game. And for the cryptic secrets, I really like those. It makes it feel like there's always more to discover and it encourages experimentation. You don't have to guess it. But if you do, chances are you'll feel really smart.

@@artey6671 Like I said, it's just my opinion and it's a really close call. MG2 does have a good amount of menu use, but the game doesn't pause for a full second. I'm also not really considering EE plays, because I'm talking more about the first-time player experience. My reason is that all players of any game have a first play experience, but the vast majority of them will never play through on settings like European Extreme, Master Ninja, Insane, Nightmare, or whatever the over-the-top level is. But still, I'm not even arguing that MGS3 falls short of being a masterpiece. Just that I think MG2 was a little better, a little more polished as an experience. It's a very close call for me.

Damn right!

xelena Cool comparison. :-) And it figures, now that you mention it.

Too if my favorite themes you know!!

+xelena You're right, it does! Man, that show was awesome. XD

The song reminds me of the Corneria theme's beginning progression

Adding on to this, It was later released in america in english along with mgs3 subsistance. Also the 2nd nes game(snakes revenge)was not made by kojima, but inspired Kojima to make his own more official and canon sequel which is the game that used this song

@@IAmBushid0 Big r/woosh

@@IAmBushid0 Yeah, Onake is perfectly fine, lmao

Cuz mgs1 is much more beloved than these games, not to say that they're so bad they don't deserve one but to me, they're not as memorable as mgs1 due to being on a very old console

@@amaterasumaster8781 Man, look, the reason they arent as loved is because most people didnt get a chance to play them until 2004, it's pretty obvious. These deserve them more than MGS1. Also, rookie cringe? Lmao.

@@mooganify 1. What do u mean by "rookie cringe?" 2. My bad about saying that, but not many people owned an MSX so they couldn't get there hands on this but mgs1 did much better cuz it was more available and despite this game being ahead of its time, mgs1 is just unforgettable and definitely deserves a remake, imo.

The events of zanzibar land make the Shadow Moses incident look like a walk in the park

@@justanobadi6655 not really but whatever, to each their own. Shadow Moses has the same plot, same character development, it's basically zanzibar 2.0

Actually, he is modelled after Mel Gibson. No joke. Big boss is also modeller after Sean Connery. :)

+Sarato Mel Gibson? *looks at old photos of him* ... Hm, yeah, I can kinda see the resemblance. As for Big Boss, yeah, definitely see that. Given that Sean is the "Big Boss" of Bond actors, it's no surprise. XD

And who's a better person to model a nuclear armed bad guy on than a guy who stole a nuclear armed submarine

+Liquid Ocelot Agreed. Just didn't expect it, is all. Been thinking about playing the original Metal Gear games. This theme is actually my favorite theme used in SSB Brawl, but I never got around to playing the old games.

Get mgs 3 subsidence if you want to play the original 2
