nostalgic. This series is amazing

[@GoldenDragon25]

Can't imagine what it was like to purchase this game in 2001 and watch this opening. Absolutely mind blowing, Kojima's love for film and cinematography is clearly present here. It feels like I'm about to see a spectacular action movie, which isn't far off from the truth!

it was special alright. Got this with my PS2. The jump in graphics was jawdropping. I'll never forget those days.

[@tobydavenport8070]

Its bitterly ironic with the world in its current condition that the ideas introduced in this game have become so important. MGS pretty much predicted our current world decades in advance.

sadly not everyone was born in the 90"s and got to experience metal gear solid at five years old and then when this came out when i was 8 i was fucking loveing life till radien happenrd lol bu at this point ill give him a pass but it still sucked MGS3 made up for it XD but it was a great game all of them were in my eyes if i had to pick one in my opinion that was the worst id have to say a weird mix between 4 and 5. dont get me wrong i loved mgs5 but for a metal geer game i was lacking and mgs4 wasent being originale with its boss battles it was just copy and past for the most part jst make them all hot females

[@boryolmung9548]

philosophy of this game is post-modernist.I hate post-modernism.Still one of the best video games ever though

[@metaldiscipline3955]

@Mr Max Anderson I'll tell you what my dude, the marketing behind this game and the PS2 was nothing short of phenomenal! When they were showing the beautiful graphics, and incredible touches to the game such as the wet footprints, shooting pipes, and water effects, nothing at that time(2000) even compared to what was on the horizon! The '90s were a magical time for gaming, however the turn of the century set the standard for the future of gaming! To me, the late 90's to 2012, was the true golden age of gaming! Then onwards gaming as a whole was destroyed by corporate greed through micro transactions, and a different coat of paint slapped on the same product, just to milk consumers dry! Another thing that's killing gaming, is developers are more interested in forcing their woke b.s.,rather than being innovative and delivering a solid game with interesting characters and story! Oh well, at least there are still the indy developers to bring us unique experiences, but other than the golden age of gaming is dead!

As a fan of the first game, this was the first title I asked my parents to buy for my new PS2. This intro just blew me away, as the game itself. The leap between PS1 and 2 was insane

[@Vollification]

It really was. I remember when I played this game for the first time thinking "How is this even possible?"

[@craigb89]

This. The first game changed gaming for me and set my childhood. I was obsessed. I remember getting PS2 just for MGS2 and man I was not disappointed. I don’t think we’ve ever seen a leap as great as MGS1 to MGS2. Incredible.

I'm 48 now, and love this intro. It stirs emotion from me. Been gaming since they came out to the masses in pizza parlours and corner stores. When this came out on PS2, it was something to be seen on my HD TV and listened to on my surround sound stereo. I used to crank this up for me and my kids. One of my favorites along with Silent Hill 2 and FF8.

[@MrStath1986]

Hideo Kojima and his team were the first games creators to give me chills with just how immaculately the soundtrack fits the visual at 2.33.

[@roycampbell6737]

Ciaran Statham ikr it definitely does fit

[@OEdwardsZ34]

They do not make games like this anymore. This game is TIMELESS.

[@datriadx18]

I remember this intro cinematic being part of a demo disc I got way back in 2001 with an issue of Official Playstation Magazine. I had gleaned every bit of info I could anywhere I could (this was pre-internet exposure), and my anticipation was beyond the roof. When I watched this for the first time, I couldn't believe what I was looking at, the graphics were far beyond anything I thought possible and the music was phenomenal. But you know what clinched it? 2:34 exactly in this video, when Snake slowly rises and the music swells triumphantly... At that precise moment my head practically explodes just like it did back in 2001.

[@EagleLogic]

+Jay Nines I was itching to find any information about the game that I could as well. It was difficult at the time because KZbin didn't come around until another four years. I got the DVD with my game that came with the making of MGS 2. Which I watched multiple times through. 2:34 is truly a special part. I tear up honestly. Not only because how much these games have attached to me emotionally, but also how much life has changed over the course of the past 14 years.

[@jimpickens1701]

it's stuff like this that makes me envious, the whole PlayStation magazin thing was before my time

This intro is so goddamned well-made. It's another ruse by Kojima, designed to make you think you'll be playing as Snake the whole time. The only time they show Raiden is at the end, where they show a close-up of his face, a subtle hint as to the truth...but no one bats an eye.

[@jcarlosfuentesra]

The game is great though

[@cubanjr2]

***** for all intents and purposes, metal gear is played out in cinematics. sure there is a lot of raiden but as we can see from mgs3 to mgs4(chronology wise), the game is much deeper than who the user gets to play as. Snake is as important in this game as he is in any other game.

You don’t even feel like it’s a video game. The music, the characters, and the story make you a part of the struggle and you feel as though you’re in the fight with them. Harry Gregson-Williams who is an accomplished cinema composer was approached by Hans Zimmer to assist with the Batman Begins soundtrack. Hans said he needed Harry’s help because Hans doesn’t do well with the emotional side of the music. Harry is a master at it. The unforgettable Batman theme from that trilogy is due to their beautiful duet. Two legends.

Honestly I could debate all day over which MGS game is the best, but I will never, ever accept an argument over which MGS intro is the best. It is, BY FAR, 2. MGS3 is the only one that comes remotely close, but it just doesn't surpass this.

[@unkeptmoss3285]

thepersonwhocomentz If I'm correct only 2,3 and Peace Walker have an opening.

[@thepersonwhocomentz]

UnkeptMoss328 1 also has an intro, but it's just watching Snake swim into the docks with background music, unless you count the cutscenes beforehand with the mission briefing, which is all just atmospheric. You can compare them, it's just more difficult because they're formatted differently. MGS4 also has an intro cutscene with Snake riding in inside the truck bed with the insurgents and background music.

Still get the chills from hearing this sound. :) One of the best Metal Gear Solids I played.

[@kevmo2990]

We're probably never going to see another one of these game, what a shame

[@crystalalumina]

The series needed to end at some point

[@Maximus1Decimus]

@@crystalalumina It shant end, as Konami is making plans to move forward. :D

[@crystalalumina]

@@Maximus1Decimus without Kojima and Fukushima? Yeah that's gonna suck

[@Maximus1Decimus]

@@crystalalumina Don't be sure, after all. There are many talented game designers and story tellers, keep an open mind instead of just assuming its gonna die absent Kojima.

[@Maximus1Decimus]

@@crystalalumina Who knows..they might surprise you.

[@blueboat9581]

Just played this the other day for the first time in 20 years. The game is still mind blowing.

[@LiamCatterson]

For some stupid reason, my 12 year old self thought the final shot was Liquid and Solid teaming up

[@remmite77]

CHILLS MAN. THE CHILLS THIS JUST GAVE ME.

[@protoculture289]

If this intro doesn't get you in the mood to kickass nothing will.

[@javiermd5835]

Such a timeless intro

[@jonnnyren6245]

Single handedly one of the best intros ever.

[@MagicJBalla21]

My favorite video game of all times my first video game for ps2 bring backs great memories during my childhood

[@MgzyN7h3ty2RNV]

2017 and this game still kicks ass! who agrees?!

[@ZapWires]

MGS2! MGS2! MGS2!

[@ygsr]

_M_O_S_ I agree

[@rahulbhamra7805]

_M_O_S_ Yep. Definitely one of the best games ever made.

[@MgzyN7h3ty2RNV]

Rahul Bhamra one? more like.. it is!

[@rahulbhamra7805]

_M_O_S_ I loved mgs3 a bit more than 2 but they're both awesome.This MGS 2 intro theme still gives me the chills though.Overall,love both 2 and 3.Much better than 5 atleast

[@sena9610]

雷電とスネークが背中合わせになる場面好きなんだよなぁ

[@dunetiger]

I could not contain my excitement when I popped this into my machine on release day. There's no describing what kind of event this was for many of us who lived it. And you have to remember that gaming back then wasn't nearly as big and widespread as it is now and games-as-amateur-film was still a pretty new concept. These days writers who fail to make it in TV or movies go to games or aspire to them directly, but this was something else entirely and not seen widely in the industry. This was a big follow-up to the first game that truly blew everyone's mind and this intro just brings me right back to those days. I used to just boot the game and watch this thing lol

[@MrShadowofthewind]

The amount of times i have watched this intro with speakers at full blast, metal gear was so bad ass back in the day.

[@simonswallow7682]

Brings back great memories,staight home from school n straight on this ,always watched the full intro every time before playing ,graphics were crazy at time,camera steaming up when you re enter the ship from the rain,lighting effects ,even ice cubes when shooting a glass,this and gran turismo 3 are still 2 of the best games ever produced

[@Evolution56]

Never played this game, but heard this theme years ago, and every few months, I hear it in my head, and have to watch it again. Absolutely stunning intro.

[@mygoodsir539]

you should play it. its a true masterpiece

[@ElWolf70]

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. This and Sly 2: Band of Thieves were my first Stealth Action games.

[@ZapWires]

Lucky you started with really good ones! My first exposure to stealth was a part in wind waker;Little me could not get past it.

[@ElWolf70]

K-33x42 E-000088 It's over a decade later now and I still haven't tried Wind Waker again XD

[@ZapWires]

+Gamer Of Rock The wii u only HD edition lowered some ludicrous prices on items and added the fast sail, so get that one if you can.

[@ElWolf70]

Definitely.

[@rjmacready9828]

My favorite game of all time. So ahead of its time

[@dutty1549]

Don’t mind me, just back here for some nostalgia again.

[@terrancebaraketh3320]

After all these years, this still gives me goosebumps...😍

[@striver1987]

This is such a powerful sequence. Every detail was addressed. Chills down my spine.

[@leonartha03]

metal gear solid is really that one of a kind game, it's hard to find other game that gave us the same experience like MGS did, thanks Kojima for creating this masterpiece

[@kidyugi1]

Remember the tanker mission when you first encounter the surveillance camera. Instead of walking past it. Just stand go into first person mode and look down the hallway. It looks so damn real. For 2001 the graphics are still amazing. Even on HD collection some scenes you'll be like damn that looks real af.

[@QBros117]

2022 and this is still awesome!!!

[@MalikM-VGM-Rand]

Happy 20th Anniversary, MGS2. This game will always be remembered as a classic of video game history.

[@ForeverFrengers]

19 years later and it's still one of coolest intro sequences in any game

[@GarudaThree]

I absolutely love metal gear solid… favourite franchise of all time… never get board of playing them… but never realised that this into is probably 90% gun pointing 😂

[@Y2DaZ]

This intro is so dope. Wish it was on Spotify

[@alamroX]

Ahh the time, it stills brings me the chills

[@oddjob007]

Who else is here to watch this masterpiece again for the anniversary?

[@saeedscott6872]

The music the graphics. Bring me to tears. One of the best intro. I love Metal Gear Solid 2.

[@missbradicah]

It's 2020 and I still salute when I see Harry Gregson-Williams name. I count myself one of the few or many female gamers who played S0NS 0F LIBERTY all the way to it's glorious end, and more than once for the hell of it. Thanks for the memories!

[@quinocadenas]

The first time I saw this intro was one of my best moments as a gamer in my whole life.

[@Ziddy.]

still is
