Metal Gear Solid 5 Red Band Trailer Reaction

I guess that depends on taste. Most of Kojima's games are extremely well written but borderline cartoonish and long winded with their plots which but itself can be a turn off. I mean 4 had what? 2-3 hours of game and 7 hours of cutsences and it's about a clone and a ninja saving the world for giant robots and a possessed cowboy. That Let's Destroy Metal Gear comic series didn't really change much from the real plot.

[@AdeptusCaeiusIII]

My brother and I went to an anime convention in 2008, and he and I talked about Metal Gear the whole car ride. He wanted to know more about it, because at the time, I was the only person he knew who played it, and I had the reputation of beating 1, 2, and 3 non-violently (where applicable). It was kind of a 'secret achievement' to beat a Metal Gear game non-violently, or with no alerts (not being spotted). Safe to say, I was kind of an expert. The car ride from our town to the con was 6 hours, and I was able to explain MGS 1 and 3 in the SIX HOURS of time we had in the car. That's how complex the story-telling in these games is. I then explained 2 on the car ride back. Explaining MGS4 would have taken the round trip to explain. You could make a movie just explaining the plot, minus cliff-hangers, red herrings, twists and call-backs without delving into character motivations or any of the five or six deep-rooted military conspiracies woven into the series. Kojima broke the mold on deep and rich story-telling across the entire canon series of Metal Gear Solid. It's not for the faint of heart, because he spares no words on how horrifying and gut-wrenching he sees war as being. It will depress you and scar you, but you will never see anything as amazing as this franchise.

Damn. Very good selling points for this game. 🙂

Imagine making a fantastic game of war, showing all the pain, casualties and effects of war, bur having to censor any blood and guts.

Also, unfortunately David Hayter wasn't asked to return to voice Snake. There's a reason why.

She also has super human strength and speed The Blonde Kid is Liquid Snake a clone of Big Boss. The Man on Fire is someone from MGS3 Snake Eater The game’s story is basically about revenge for what happened to them in MGSV Ground Zeroes. If you plan on playing/watching The order is: MGS3, MGS Peace Walker, MGSV Ground Zeroes, MGSV Phantom Pain, Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, MGS1, MGS2, and finally MGS4 Guns of the Patriots. Personally i don’t think you need to watch them in chronological order because that will basically spoil stuff

Oh and the Xrays are showing you all of the damage in Venom Snake's body. If you look at all the white areas, those are shrapnel and fragments embedded in his body. Most notably the "horn" on his head which is a fragment of bone embedded in his skull from another soldier who was in the explosion with him. That bone fragment seemingly causes him to hallucinate and lose colour perception (a mechanic which was supposed to play a greater role in parts of the game that went unfinished)

[@PersonWMA]

Hopefully there are some good cutscene movies for MGS. The series lives rent free in my head. That said, Hideo Kojima absolutely makes sure every game he's made in this series is canonical, the games first came out on consoles from the 1980s, or something like that. Even when MGS1 came out on the PS1, and was probably the first game that everyone got into, Hideo didn't do a soft reboot or anything, he made explicit call backs to the beginning, even as the plot became more intricate. A lot of people say "play it chronologically", which is fine, I guess, but I prefer it in release order, 1-5, plus the side games, because Hideo obviously was creating new plot as he went along, and the prequels work well as callbacks that create more depth in the older games. It's not a perfect series, but it is pretty cool.

[@acrab6527]

Yeah do release order. You have questions as you play them in release order, and those are also answered in release order, because Kojima made them like movie sequels.

[@mechanomics2649]

It seems weird to recommend playing them chronologically when the games build on each other.

It's interesting that you spoke Hungarian and watched the MGSV trailer. Speaking different languages is a prominent aspect of MGSV, and Hungarian has a small, but important role in the plot. If you know, you _know._ In any case, I've been a huge fan of the series ever since playing MGS1 back in 1998. It was even one of the games that got me into reviewing. MGSV isn't my favorite game in the series; MGS2 and 3 have more compelling stories, more interesting characters, and better pacing. But the gameplay in MGSV is by far the best. Being able to infiltrate a massive area from multiple angles, with different loadouts, in different lighting and weather conditions is incredible. It would've been amazing to see this game engine used more, but it wasn't meant to be...

[@Luemm3l]

yep, the story was a convoluted mess although I found the language theme very interesting, the graphics and open world and sheer amount of options you have in this game are amazing. a little sad we just have two big maps to play around in, I would have liked to see some more scenic variety.

Shame it couldn’t get finished. But it was an amazing trailer that made us want to explore this franchise more 🙂

[@AdeptusCaeiusIII]

@@Luemm3l It involves a LOT of call-backs to things a lot of people probably forget, and it feels like a convoluted mess until you finish the whole thing and start piecing the inconsistencies together. Granted, I don't blame people for finding the confusion off-putting. Kojima has been pushing the DEPTH a little far since MGS3, to the point people said 4 was a disjointed mess of 'IDGAF'.

[@Scoopulus]

This trailer is one of the greatest videogame trailers ever created. The soundtrack is hauntingly beautiful, and the imagery is incredibly dark.

The lore goes insanely deep with these games, I was lucky enough to play Metal Gear Solid when I was a kid, and play each one there on (still missed the nes one) so I could understand what's going on.

Man. We are in for a long journey trying to wrap our heads around this franchise 🤯

[@No._6]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Long story short, it's all a metaphor for the players' psychological relationships with war games and cool characters (not kidding). MGS 1-5 explore that in various ways, while on the surface, there is a thick set of plots involving twists and turns and discussions on modern topics. (Modern at the time, mostly still relevant today. Some parts even moreso.) For maximum ease of playability and understanding of the plot, and minimum surprise spoilers, play the games in real-world order. MGS 1,2,3,4,5. Following the in-game chronology (as others often suggest) would be different, and that would take away the effect of not knowing the answers until they are revealed in a satisfying way. The prequels are actually answering questions left open on purpose in earlier games, and without that shock from the revelation, given on queue, the effect is mostly lost. It's like being told Darth Vader is Luke's father before you even meet Luke Skywalker. The Empire Strikes Back is almost entirely wasted then.

I remember my favorite cutscene of all time was from this game. It had something to do with Quiet and an enemy fighter jet^^

[@Shintigercurl]

that's what i love about the MGS. even with the more fantastical elements, it's a story about war: what it does to the world, what it does to people, what it does to history and what it does to those who fight those wars. it strips away the glamour of war and shows it in all of its stupidity and ugliness. and at the center of it are solider, men and women fighting for countries that often don't care about them and for governments who use them for their own gains and then tosses them away. then it asks "what is the point of loyalty to your nation when your nation isn't loyal to you?" that's why solid snake is a gaming icon. not just for the bad ass things he's done but for his growth as a character. he went from a solider who always followed order to a man who, despite being an outlaw, fought for what he believed: making a better world for those who come after him. hideo kojima isn't heralded as one of, if not the greatest game director of all time for no reason. you wanna know how damn good he is? listen to the final codec conversation in MGS2. and keep in mind, that game came out over 20 years ago.

[@AdeptusCaeiusIII]

That codec call and the conversation just before the final boss fight (you know the one) shaped the very beginnings of my philosophy on the role of government at a very young age. Of course, as time moves on, things change, and the reasoning becomes more complex and reasoned, but the core belief remains the same. Kojima, in about five minutes of game dialogue, lays out one of the strongest socio-political treatises I've ever heard... As a freakin' PLOT POINT.

[@TheGililgi]

You guys just watched one of the greatest trailers if not the greatest trailer for a video game ever made. You may not have been interested before the game actually came out but the Hype for both the game and it’s trailers is something I don’t think I’ll ever witness again. Great video.

MGSV wasn’t the best of the franchise, but that’s because of corporate bs that limited the producer Kojima from finishing his vision. Not long after he was fired from the company.

[@CamaradaGagarin]

Yay! i remember your last video, when i recommended watching the Red Band one. Such a coincidence to open youtube and see minutes later you actually did it. Metal Gear Solid is a Anti-War opera. This one continues the story of Big Boss, the original "Snake" from Metal Gear Solid 3. In the previous games he started a paramilitary unit called "Soldiers Without Borders" who helped guerrillas around the globe to stabilize sovereignty in their countries against the Cold War setup. Metal Gear Peace Walker takes place, if i remember correctly in Nicaragua (i could be wrong.) and is the beginning of Snake, now Big Boss after events from MGS3 when he becomes a absolute World savior from a Nuclear Threat between USSR and USA escalating after the Cuban Missile Crisis. Then he realized he is but a puppet with strings attached in this Theater of Horror. After he let loose the chains who bounded him to USA, he starts working toward peace, and many many soldiers around the globe flock to his cause, making him as powerful as any nation. MGS5 happens after a coup that literally exploded his Mother Base, a Deep Ocean Platform from where he sent soldiers to fight around the globe, and his fellow men are being hunted one by one. He wakes up 9 years after helping his friends escape from guantanamo bay (those scenes with the girl having a bomb removed from her chest and etc) and as soon as people realize who they were treating the coma, they realize there's a IMMEDIATE DANGER in the whole hospital. From there you get back on your feet and start rebuilding the largest army in the world, with soldiers again flocking to your cause...but 9 years later, you're not the only Private Army in the 1980's... so, big misteries, amazing gameplay, and a overal very good story, with the ending being "meh" for one reason: Konami at the time had fired Hideo Kojima, the mind behind the story, and finished the game themselves as it was. Things get very weird and very....improvised? as the final missions starts. What a truly terrible end for such a Legend (Kojima being kicked from his masterpiece.) I'd still recommend playing though. Metal Gear has some "monsters and robots" to remind us that even though the game is very serious and overflowing with War and Conflict, its "just a game"...or is it? Maybe its all metaphors, dunno. Ask Kojima on that one, dude is a legend and so is Big Boss, a.k.a. Naked Snake. Grat video, you guys! have a good Sunday!

Hideo Kojima is to video games what Quentin Tarantino is to movies. He's woven the best narrative in all of gaming history. It's a story of betrayal, loyalty, identity, and so much more.

You can describe it, but it's impossible to pass on an experience without replication.

[@DFWHoppe]

Yooooo. You 100% nailed it when you said watching the trailer was part of the experience. When MGSV first was "announced" they hid what it was, didn't reference anything about Metal Gear and the first trailers went viral on KZbin under a fake studio with a fake developer. Kojima even did an interview with GameSpot under fake name and kept his face obscured. Watching the viral marketing for MGSV was essential. And if you're going to be going through the stories and complex lore of the Metal Gear Solid Universe, I would say go by release date, not chronically. When they're foreshadowing events and characters in the prequels, it's better to know what they're talking about and know what you're looking at so you can be excited by it. Just my two cents.

To this day I haven't seen an announcement trailer for a game better than this. I'm a fan of the franchise and despite the setbacks, it was closed with a golden key in this game. Snake is the most human character ever created in the gaming universe, for every supposed right he had another 10 mistakes together.

I remember the first time seeing this trailer, I felt the hype, the anticipation, the excitement of the game that Kojima brought to us. And then Konami dropped the nuke on Kojima. The game was released with 1/4th of content not included and also altered original ideas for the game. It was heartbreaking. The ironic part of it is in the title itself. We ourselves are left with phantom pain after finishing the game. How poetic.

[@AdeptusCaeiusIII]

My favorite interview Kojima has done was when people asked him if he'd consider taking MGS if someone bought it from Konami and offered to GIVE it to him: "No, I don't think I would."

[@ate-4891]

Definitely a great game to learn more on, the missions are set out like TV show episiods which lends its self nicely to doing reactions on it. The whole series is worth looking into really.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Looking forward to checking out more from it 🙂

What a ride when this game was announced fans have been watching fan theories of how the game story was going to be from beginning to end, getting the latest updates, etc. Too bad the final product was not everyone's expectations but the journey before the game came out is amazing.

Solid Snake is a clone of 'The Boss' from a project, Les Enfants Terribles around 1972. 'The Big Boss' was a female operative and commander of a secret organization and 'The Boss' took her place to run covert operations This is in the game, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater, prequel. 'The Boss' aka 'Solidus Snake' is the ORIGINAL Snake in the franchise. The project in 1972 passed on the skillset to his clones, 'Solid' and 'Liquid' Snake. Liquid Snake aka 'Ocelot'. 'Punished Snake' is a clone that was kept hidden because it was not certain if he was going to survive his utmost mission that he was assigned, Phantom Pain, which he did not.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Thanks for giving us some more info on this 🙂

[@Fordo007]

I think you've got some stuff mixed up. The Boss was the female soldier and commando who trained Naked Snake, who as part of a convoluted spy mission had to kill the Boss and the president then gave Naked Snake the title Big Boss. Big Boss was then cloned, making Solidus, a perfect clone, and then Liquid with all the dominant genes and Solid with all the recessive genes. Ocelot was the biological son of the Boss and raised by the Patriots to be their enforcer. Ocelot eventually teamed up with Naked Snake/Big Boss. Then Big Boss made one of his soldiers his body double, Venom Snake/Punished Snake, to draw the attention of XOF. Venom Snake is the character in MGSV you play who interacts with Eli/Liquid Snake. Liquid and Solid both became members of FOXHOUND while Solidus became a warlord in Africa and then the President of the US. Solid would ultimately kill Venom Snake/Punished Snake in Outer Heaven with Big Boss finally dropped his ruse and tried to create a nation of soldiers. Then Solid 'killed' Big Boss in Zanzibar Land. Liquid then tries the same thing and is killed by Solid via the FOXDIE virus the government created to kill Big Boss and his progeny. Solidus then tries the same thing again, and is killed by Raiden, his adoptive son. Ocelot brainwashes himself to believe he is Liquid as part of a scheme to bring down the Patriots and ultimately does so, dying to FOXDIE after being beaten by Solid Snake. Big Boss then reveals he's alive and he used the body of Solidus to fake his death. He has a heart to heart with Solid Snake and dies of FOXDIE at peace at the grave of the Boss. Solid then lives his few remaining years in peace. The Boss reunites with her love the Sorrow in the afterlife. Venom Snake/Punished Snake reunites with his love Quiet the same way. So even in death people get a happy ending. I left A LOT out but that is most of what you said with the mistakes fixed. Lot of similar sounding names can get confusing, along with people claiming to be each other.

Eli is the main villain in the MGS franchise as he gets older along with others thats kin to solid snake MGS is a VERY emotional game and full of philosophies,love,romance,loss and tragedy. its more Shakespearean than Shakespear itself and is a cult hit like you wont believe. just like DMC you have to start with different orders to get the chronological story order. you can skip all the little spinoffs the order is as follows MGS3-snake eater/peace walker/ground zeros/phantom pain/MGS1/MGS2/ and finally MGS4- guns of the patriots. i highly recommend watching. Venom snake Bigboss/naked snake and solid snake the main portag, are not the same people you'll find out that all the games and people are all connected in some way shape and form to one another its just one big story so good they're even talking about making a live action movie on it. and what Metal Gear is, is a military weapon of mass destruction that changes models from time to time snake usually has to fight it

This was my all time favorite game trailer, before it came out. Pity that the game wasn't entirely finished. Though I do like the direction of 'tactical freedom' and tackle any objective as you wish.

[@peternash7104]

This gameplay is about as open as you can get. What I mean by that even previous titles you can sneak or go guns blazing or however you want. There's stress to manage in MGSIV and there's other factors such as broken bones in MGS3. However the canon is simple both Solid Snake and Naked Snake(aka Big Boss, aka Punished Snake) have done their missions sneaking around very very quickly and NOT killing. So while the trailers show them killing there's many achievements in the series for doing a pacifist run and saving lives in record times without being spotted. It's actually easier than it sounds because you have tons of tools for the job and not just crawling around. However I've done the crawling around method and it works out fine if you make mental notes of patrol patterns. That being said even when I say it's open there's things you absolutely can not do. Such as killing child soldiers. No Snake will kill children, they will knock them out and carry them off to save them from their imprisonment but that's one thing you might be worried about getting into the game, that you might be forced to kill children...you won't. You can't be a living legend if you are forced to break your principles. And while Solid Snake is regarded as the greatest soldier legend, Naked Snake is extremely close and they are neck and neck.

You definitely should check out the metal gear series it's like a daytime drama series like 'days of our lives' meets call of duty. The story has so many twists and turns its honestly hard to keep up with all of it. That's why the series has such long cuts cents because there is so much to unpack. But definitely a great ride, but instead of mowing everyone down, which you can, it's more geared toward avoiding conflict, you can make it through the games without killing anyone but the bosses that you have to fight against.

For first time the man who act as Snake or the Actor and Voice model is Kiefer Sutherland. The fans at start hate the chage of the voice of Snake cuz every snake have the same voice actor David Hayter. But "a little espoil" is on purpose. Kojima is the master of break the 4th wall on video games. and if you play the game in the final the real final. you get the secret why Snake voice is different. and thats is when i love the game. is a movie. plus every Snake has a code name. this is Punished Snake the others are Solid Snake or Liquid Snake.
