Carpenter's a HUGE gamer, especially ever since he more or less retired from directing. Basically all he does now is smoke weed, play games and write music.

Source?

Not everyone has the brains to close up shop and go take a swim in their jillions of moolah when they hit the high note like John Carpenter or Shigesato Itoi. Spongebob and Fast and Furious spring to mind. XD

Hell, he actually stopped Universal from Suing Konami over copyright infringement

@@s.p.tucker1604 has anyone recommended him Fallout? Especially New Vegas?

More like it couldn't Metal Gear Survive

I read 2015 and admitted that your comment was posted in 2015, before MGS' (the bad one) announcement

now we gonna scream:SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!

M3TICUL0US M3 Come on Snake stop faking it heh heh... Snake. Snake. SNAAAAKE!!

+Robert E.O. Moewagon "Escape from New York", there you see the original Snake, reminds me of that movie; this theme does.

this screams snatcher

+Im just another one this screams perfection

+Robert E.O. Moewagon Not too surprising. Metal Gear has always been inspired by various movies. The first game had Kyle Reese from The Terminator as the box art.

+computerman789 interpreted by kurt russel, "Snake Plisken" who had an eye patch like big boss and snake alias on MGS 2 was Pliskin, coincidence?

Yeah, i bet it wasn't easy giving metal gear D so much detail. The shading also looks really good.

Which is fitting because, the Metal Gear franchise is basically a depiction of the possible hardships men of action will endure when humanity ventures into the world of militarized mecha. The first real battles of men vs machines. I'm surprised no one talks about this more.

Big Boss was modelled from Sean Connery and Gray Fox from Tom Berenger

Rambo's commander!!!!! Aw that's so SICK

The scientists were Albert Einstein and Gene Hackman

Then who was Natasha Markova/Gustava Heffner?

Same here, this song absolutely blew me away hearing it for the first time.

Then in ultimate they took out the original and put the terrible remix.

@@twinkiissbthe remix is fine

@@nitothequito​ Let's look at some of the other remixes. Megaman 2 theme remix is a solid example of a hit remix. It uses the similar 8 bit lead synth as the original but is complimented with the guitar, drums and other instruments and they hit the mark. I've heard remixes on the megaman 2 and some hit and some don't. Back to solid snake, It's not terrible so I was a bit harsh on saying that. However, it doesn't hit the same way as the original on some marks like the lead synth and the last transition in the original. The remix itself is well constructed and has its own unique set of instruments and in some ways sounds cool. However that being said, those choice of instrumentals miss that nostalgic feeling that original gives. The original had a slightly different tone to it that just makes you feel engaged into the song even if the choice of instruments are simpler. Each to the own though. Some might like this remix over the original and some may just prefer the original. So different cup of tea for everyone. Here is another example of the solid snake of another decent remix. In some parts like the beginning is good, middle better and the ending they did a solid (no pun intended) job at the choice of instrument. It hits, it's not overly spaced but you feel the soul in that. However, again I prefer the original. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r6dorMWCq5ubnps.htmlsi=YR-BcF3LEjd3anb4

It's basically the THX sound but shortened to half a second.

@Pedophile Mohammed nope

same here brother

Same

It was meant to.

Liquiiiiid!!!

WE’LL MEET AGAIN

Which fits especially when Snake says never to give up to Big Boss.

+DJCandyManMike But there was Snatcher before it with a pretty awesome plot. Even though it was very derivative.

Mondo Zappa Those of us that didn't play Snatcher no longer would have doubts after this game. Provided we played it before MGS.

DJCandyManMike I know what Snatcher DID show for sure. Kojima's love for perverted stuff.

***** The funny thing is that I never actually thought of it as of a visual novel. I always percieved it as a graphic adventure game. I also like your nickname a lot.

***** But we were talkibg about story before, so I don't think that the type of gameplay has anything to do with it.

Retro Gaming Guitarist nop

I did jump on my chair xD

THX sound intro be like...

+coreykun667 Yeah, pretty similar sound chips. Wavetable synthesis.

Yes but TurboGrafx-16 was a flop once the NES came out. The MSX2 was better than either, but the NES was the only system which was widely used and anywhere close to the MSX2.

@@MaskMan191 Konami made Rondo Of Blood on the PC Engine's CD Add On years after this game came out. But naaahhh, they wouldn't have ported MG to the PC Engine

Rondo of Blood was a new game developed for multiple systems. Metal Gear 2 was a game made for only one system and wouldn't take off as a series until 1998 on the PlayStation.

@@MaskMan191 "Developed for multiple systems" ???

Most of the staple points the series became renowned for were pioneered in MG2. A lot of elements of it were reused in MGS1.

I like to this kojima had a board of these ideas and timelines all lined up

Bro i just started playing iy and its crazy how similar it is to the rest of the series. And ppl said Mgs 2 was a rehash of 1 lol

:)

@@solidsnake9898 haha yezzz

Epic Pliskin profile pic!

Thanks!

How did it went? Think it helped? :)

hahahahha happens to me too... writting my final exam in 2 months from now so ill be in your shoes soon

John Hassink Yup aced it lol

HALELLUJAH

I'm more exited for pichu

Sadly, in Smash Bros Ultimate his ass got nerfed :(

@@nectarium8760 For a nerfed character he can really bring the pain.

@@griffinmiller824 No see mean't his actual physical ass.

ProtecSirius Agreed, it's also the best game in the series too, closely followed by MGS2 imo

I put MG2:SS and MGS3 on the same line, cannot really decide which one is better... MGS2 was alwesome too and i think underrated.

yessss!!!

@@juhoturunen Very underrated

This first MGS game has a very memorable OST imo.

facts

The sound of a legend arriving

MGS2's BGMs from Norihiko Hibino run it close imo, but MG2 has the best range for sure

@@ZanzibarBreeze I also don’t count Rising in this, just the main saga. That’s like the peak of music as a whole

@@youngkappakhan MGS VR Missions did updated versions of some of these songs to great effect but maybe you're not counting that. I also enjoyed some of the Metal Gear Ac!d 2 soundtrack... They incorporated a lot of acid bass lines which I thought was a little on the nose, but it sounded excellent.

You tripping

@@mooganify I should clarify even further that I mean music during gameplay and not insert/theme songs. I can only remember like 1-3 tracks from each Solid game and a lot of those games' compositions are nearly identical but pretty much the whole MG2 soundtrack stuck with me. They're all good though

Me, of course... Waiting for my pre-order.

One of the best game characters in history ever.

Retro Gameing Guitarist "Just what I'd expect from the guy with the same code as the Boss..."

+Christian Mackerras But Solid Snake was both in Brawl and MG2, why so angry?

+Christian Mackerras Chill. He/she is commenting on Solid Snake, not Big Boss.

Now now, your generalizing. Snake was a great addition to Smash, blended with with other Nintendo character such as Mario, Link and Samus.

+Downriverkid I'd much prefer Richard Doyle as Big Boss like it was in MGS4, not soft voiced Keifer Sutherland.

+Downriverkid ew

Sorry, it's not happening

Wouldn't it make more sense to have Big Boss be played by Richard Doyle since it is old Big Boss?

but Keifer played as Venom Snake or "Big Boss II" fits perfectly with what Venom was suppose to be

I agree or hell the end of Metal Gear Solid V:The Phantom Pain should have this for the ending.

***** Since it is the end of 'Naked' and the birth of 'Solid'

Right? I just bought the Phantom Pain last week and am currently watching a bunch of videos to get up to date with the story. It's such an epic saga and I absolutely am a sucker for the music.

What does this song have to do with snatcher?

TheBarlettan Listen to "Pleasure of Tension" on the MSX version.. or any really.

It’s been speculated that Hideo considers this one of his best works and cherishes it too much to remake it.

@@PerpetualAlfa Whether or not if that's true. There must be more awareness and demand for a remake of the MSX2 originals instead of nonsense demand for yet another remake of MGS (aka Metal Gear 3). The newer members of the metal gear community need some briefing. :)

@@maxsteelflex Yeah there's definitely more demand to remake the original 2 than MGS1 from fans. I do think though from a gameplay perspective MGS1 actually is more in need or a remake though. It's gameplay hasn't aged anywhere near as well as MG2's imo.

@@PerpetualAlfa Mgs1 needs a gameplay update over mg2? Think you might wanna replay them again *scratching my head*. Mgs (ps1) gameplay aged well, for it even matured the fundamentals of the msx titles. Mg2 solid snake needs that treatment. But if you say so, I'm curious as to how?

@@maxsteelflex I think gameplay perspective MGS1 suffers from the camera being panned in too close that you can really see what's going on around you. This wouldn't have been so bad but the transition to first person view is really sluggish that you end up looking at the soliton radar for the most part. With MG2 you can see everything on screen, so you're focus is on the environment and enemies themselves. Another issue with MGS1 is the backtracking. Now this is present in MG2 but it's no where near as tedious, partly because of the variety of environments and amount of newly unlocked areas to explore. MGS1's backtracking is not fun and feels like a chore, whenever replaying it,, But it was done to make more use of those early areas where there's more stealth gameplay to enjoy. Which brings to the next point. MGS1 about half way through becomes a gauntlet of set pieces and boss battles. There's very few areas of traditional stealth from that point on. That's not necessarily a criticism if that's what someone prefers, but MG2 had most those set pieces too (Hind D battle, being ambushed in an elevator by 4 guards, a fist fight with Gray Fox, being chased by guards up a spiral staircase, warming/cooling a key, etc) but they were spaced out with normal stealth gameplay.

MGS6 if it ever happens should be whatever happens after TPP and both of these. Funny how some of the most important parts of the story are just 8bit

this would be if theyd make a remake

@@aijint No.

It's kinda true, once you play MG2 it's crazy how you realize Solid was more or less a soft-remake of this, so many plot points and sequences are extremely similar. Though Solid still deserves all the credit for really showing off how cinematic games could be even back then, and with full voice acting which wasn't really common at the time.
