Metal Gear Solid (1998) - Easter Eggs, Secrets and References you might have missed!

[@MidnightMechanic]

That Hideo screen disturbed me as a child, I legitimately thought the game was haunted and breaking my tv!

[@alibaba3568]

It's hard to provide new trivia for a game that's over 20 years old, but you did it!

[@SalopianGamer]

Cheers, Ali Baba 👍

Snake also makes a very missable meta joke about his and Otacon's names, "maybe we should take a trip to Jupiter".

[@subtegral]

I noticed tonight.. remember when Snake listens to two guards from the upper ventilation shaft? Remember when the two guards started talking about an intruder using some type of stealth camouflage? And Snake said to himself, "There's an intruder besides me?".. Well.. if Snake hasn't been spotted up to that point, you won't see that extra scene. You will be robbed of seeing that extra scene. In other words, the success of the Ninja's stealth infiltration is directly based on the current success of Snake's stealth infiltration.

[@Cacowninja]

Here's some: 1. In the bathrooms of the nuclear warhead storage building if snake runs near the air dryers they'll turn on 2. The blast furnace has a small elevator you can use to go up and down, the 2 floors. Problem is you have to go across the crane passage way first to activate it from the other side. 3. If snake takes more than 10 minutes to go up the dock elevator the colonel will comment on him being slow rather than fast if you do it in less than 10 minutes. 4. You can jump off the right docks if spotted in the beginning of the game. 5. Snake can use Sniper Wolf's handkerchief given to him by otacon to get past the wolf dogs though he'll give it back to her after killing her.

[@SalopianGamer]

These are some pretty cool things🙂 thanks for sharing them on here👍

[@RobChapala]

still no footage of colonel breaking the 4th wall and telling the player to shut off the ps1 (not the same as mgs2) then the game boots up Metal Gear for the NES...

[@merylvixenburgh3947]

If you hit the crane a 2nd time in the blast furnace, it will fall down into the lava.

[@DJPoprocks]

You’ve made videos on all my favourite PlayStation one games !!😍😍

[@SuperRus9000]

I've put in a ton of hours in this game over the years and never knew you could destroy the crane in the blast furnice...it's awesome still learning new things about classic games!

[@RobChapala]

did you ever get the easter egg that happens after 15 hrs of continuous play? where the game tells you to shut off the system and boots up Metal Gear for the nes?

[@renemichaels2470]

I remember if you got into the back of truck, and put a cardboard box on, a guard would notice it, and say “is this all there is to load?” And he would drive it to a different part of the base, depending on which box you used.

[@rocketraccoon1976]

During the first Sniper Wolf battle, try shooting the wounded Meryl. Snake'll get some hilarious codec calls from his support crew.

[@mariosilva7675]

Before the second battle with Raven, in the elevator. Punch or kill some ravens and he'll say something about meesing up wiith his friends.

[@TheAfterglowProject]

Your pronunciation of Konami has left me feeling like I can’t chew. And I cannot explain that.

[@nihar2009]

so basically in case no one has mentioned it in the comments . The font used for the HIDEO screen was intentionaly chosen to match the Video mode that old tube televisions of the 90's had .Especially Sony made TV's. these screen would be later be replaced by video input 1, video input 2 and now HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 screens on modern TVs

[@phonotical]

I believe there was a demo video showing use of unlimited mines and blowing up the whole first stage but when you do get unlimited items after finishing, or invisibility and the suit, your mines vanish after about 30 or so The boss psycomantis also changes clothing a few times after finishing the game twice

[@SalopianGamer]

Yeah, I remember that awesome video demo way back then!! And the music for that demo too😀

[@MatthewRStevens]

He also had a different kick animation in the video if my withered brain remembers right

[@MTD9]

Wow, i didn't know you can get back in Women's bathroom during alert phase and the enemies won't follow you in. I also didn't know about the codec call for shooting rats. Good stuff!👍

[@SalopianGamer]

Cheers, mate. Glad you found out some new things from the video🙂 It's amazing how many little details Kojima has put into these MGS games.

[@soulreaver1983]

Such a classic game excellent video dude 🙂👍🏻👍🏻

[@SalopianGamer]

Yeah, the MGS series is awesome, especially MGS 3 Snake Eater.

[@soulreaver1983]

@@SalopianGamer One of my favourite games I still Ave my original PlayStation 2 copy 👍

[@SalopianGamer]

Sadly, I sold my PS3 eight years ago to get my ps4. I had the MGS collection with that and MGS 2 and the underrated Peace Walker game. I'm going to have to re-buy it now and do some easter eggs videos on them one day. Kojima put a hell of a lot of stuff on there to mention.

[@soulreaver1983]

@@SalopianGamer I remember when 8 first bought PlayStation 3 I got resistance fall of man the PlayStation 3 was such an awesome console unfortunately the fan on the back burnt out along with the game inside of it😔

[@SalopianGamer]

Damn, I had that infamous yellow light of death on my first PS3 console and had to get another PS3.

[@DJPoprocks]

Could we have Easter egg vids from the other MGS games please? 😁

[@SalopianGamer]

I'm definitely going to do the others, Dj Poprocks👍 I'm not going to miss out on doing MGS3, that one's one of my most favourite games of all time😀 How soon I do it though might depend on voters choice once I get the community tab up on here. Which I think should appear by next week🙂

[@itsmejinxfromleagueolegendsrea]

Just beat it for the first time yesterday after my chat forced me to. I wish I'd played it earlier!

[@SalopianGamer]

It's one of the greatest games of its time.

[@itsmejinxfromleagueolegendsrea]

You gotta do a guide on players who are just starting out, what to play, how to emulate, etc@@SalopianGamer

[@SalopianGamer]

I will be doing those kinds of videos to add more variety to the channel. I'm doing my first playthrough commentary soon, I'll see if more people are interested and then go from there 👍🙂

[@itsthedude6155]

You can use the psycho mantis view to see where in the room he's moving too.

[@justincooper5189]

You forgot the biggest policenauts reference, which is Meryl herself! Didn't expect that one did you?

[@Antzmacadamia]

Komodo Dragon rank here. How come Octocon and snake are leaving the base? Is that after a second playthrough? I left with Meryl.

[@SalopianGamer]

Depends on the player's choice in the Ocelot interrogation part of the game. If Snake quits the torture scene instead of going through with it before escaping, then the Otacon ending happens.

[@happycamper010]

I just got done beating it again only this time was on a emulator. I couldn't switch controller ports for the psycho mantis battle so I had to expose his ugly face on the statues 🙈🤣

[@SalopianGamer]

😆 I liked how they poked fun at the controller port switch from the Mantis battle near the end of MGS 4. It's great that this game is going to be released as part of the MGS Master Collection this year!

[@happycamper010]
