I'm Nuclear | Big Boss | Metal Gear Solid

!!! Video contains SPOILERS, not for MGS V Phantom Pain!!!
I started this video project 2 weeks ago(26 May).
After I heard the song "nuclear" by Mike Oldfield, i immediately thought of MGS. Hideo Kojima had recommended the album, so it does not surprise me that he has used this song in the new trailer. When i was almost finished with the video, i've seen the new trailer. I decided to use the new footages. Have fun!

[@FireHawkX]

Completely insane editing!! REALLY great job!!! I have worked in TV/cinema and in many video game company as lead video editor and this was a really great "amv" style video! :) I would have used a few crossfades at the end after the last lyrics... perhaps a few more cuts on music cue... but overall, really awesome selection of visuals! :)

[@EmpireEnd]

wow! thank you :) This is after a long time my first video. I was in some things a little unsure.

[@FireHawkX]

Empireend when i did my first video edit about 13-14 years ago while in school (availlable on my profile it was the wwe video), i also used the words from the song and tried to illustrate and match them with the video... i havent had many opportunities to make my own videos since... most of what i have done in the last 10 years was professionally and not on my own youtube... being a HUGE fan of MGS serie, i "think" i understand most of the story arcs so far... so seeing all of theses different time period was also nice with the new song :)

[@TheRealRobjob]

Empireend This is really Great, it almost feels like Kojima himself made this. I'm impressed. This makes me just as excited for The Phantom Pain as the last trailer did.

[@EmpireEnd]

SmokyDoky029 Thank you for this great compliment. Kojima is one of my inspiring examples. In this video,i thought of moments that have shaped BigBoss.

[@TheRealRobjob]

Well you nailed his best moments and his best allies and enemies.

V has the best cutscenes of any video game ever, shot and art direction wise. It’s a great example of how great video game cutscenes can be when you accept that you Donny have to use the camera like a regular movie camera.

It wasn't.

[@messy8424]

Taylor Corbett actually it wasn't. The song was released before Snake Eater was made, and was released on Starsailor's album Love is Here, which is in my opinion their best album.

[@Gaff.]

It sounds...so much like Epitaph. How is this not being talked about? If you google it, it seems some people are, but I'm surprised it's not getting more attention. Either way, the video was really incredible. Videos like this are starting to make me reconcile MGSV's Boss with MGS3's, which is cool, and this one in particular is extremely well done. Everything seems to be in just the right place.

Pal, this is a greatest tribute for whole Metal Gear Saga... Just no words to say it. But i`m answer only one thing you need to know: Greatness it`s Forever.

[@darkjapan]

From Wikipedia: The song "Nuclear" deals with his grandfather's experiences during World War I. “I never knew him... It turned out he was a great character before the war but came home a very different man...I travelled around Ypres and the battlefield museums and I saw the graves of his regiment: the Royal Munster Fusiliers. And I could feel it. Still there.” This track is sung by Luke Spiller, who sung all the songs on the 2014 album Man on the Rocks

The song has been always perfect for big boss, after all, he got radiated in mgs3 with those two nuclear explosions from the beginning and ending respectively

[@HeitorJlbc2601]

The fact that Metal gear solid is mostly about war and the guns used to control the world such as nuclear weapons, makes that song fits even more.
