a young Clint Eastwood with dark blue long bandanna and sneak suit= Solid Snake (David)

[@Hassony523]

actually i think " I Think " He Was Based On Rambo Movie about [sylvester stallone] actor or [arnold sawcharngezerrevzxzdfegerv] actor his name is hard :D

[@Trid3nt861]

Fox Hound he was actually based off of Kurt Russel's snake pliskin from that movie from the 1980's as well as Sylvester Stallone's Rambo. If you look at the cheek bone structure, eyebrow and chin placement and his eye color, hands down Solid Snake (young David) he resembles Clint Eastwood when he was young.

[@carlosroberto366]

young Clint Eastwood = Big Boss (MGS3)

[@HarryManco]

mechaart Believe it or not, the facial appearance of Solid Snake as depicted in Shinkawa's artwork is actually based off Christopher Walken when he was younger. Weird, right? tbonecase.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/alan_rimell_-_christopher_walken_-_the_deer_hunter.jpg However I do agree that Naked Snake strongly resembles a young Clint Eastwood, all the way down to the facial expressions.

[@gooched]

+Harry Manco Probably based specifically on Walken in Deer Hunter, which makes a little more sense.

[@DatMentalGamer]

​@@johnthenoob7 i always thought Revengeance is canon since it takes place a few years after MGS4. and thus continues the story set out by that game (pretty sure it starts in 2015 and ends in 2018) another possibility is that its in an alternate timeline. so it does and does not happen

[@K9PPFAN]

Otacon : snake......had a hard life 😢

[@MrAnders0n2]

Really awesome, especially so since it fits MGS1's musical aesthetic so much.

[@metallica78ivanaxel]

SOLID SNAKE ALL THE WAY!!! Just a great remake of a badass song by the people behind the legendary MGS1 soundtrack! I wish i knew where they all went, or if they made any other music similar sounding to the Metal Gear Solid OST.

[@art-n-filmsam3844]

This should be the song for the Smash Bros. Snake DLC Trailer

[@Vargas3499]

[@tokyobassist]

It was stupid enough to not include MGS1 ON-DISC with the Legacy Collection but that was also a perfect opportunity to put Integral on there since they were aiming to have all the definitive versions of each game in that set. Dat Konami logic...

[@SkeletonsYouControlHaveHaste]

What??? Its not on disc?Yeah not getting it now. I have all of those games on disc...only upside is not having to switch consoles between all of them

[@kingnro1]

Why 'port' it to PS3, when you can keep it as a ps1 game?

[@5nesta]

@@kingnro1 It's not about "porting" it. The legacy collection only has the PSN downloadable version of the original MGS1, it's not included in the collection physically. The PS3 can play PS1 discs no problem, and Integral is not on PSN.

[@heywasgood1612]

Yeah it's not "definitive" if you don't have Integral in there, the fact that it was only released for playstation in Japan is stupid

THEME OF SOLID SNAKE

[@Grahamx227]

This might be one of my favourite tracks in the series. I REALLY miss the MGS1 style of compositions - they eventually became a bit forgettable in the latter installments, in my opinion.

[@relu419]

You miss the JV Synth.

[@boxenjoyerkona]

It's great that artists can produce anything they want with modern sound hardware, but some of the best game soundtracks ever are a product of their audio hardware. It's truly a huge, huge loss.

[@relu419]

@@boxenjoyerkona Yes. DX7, SC-55, Korg and JV are huge and unique. It's hard to replicate the feeling.

[@chocov1233]

I thought that this song was from Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake.

[@TheJoazzz]

@@chocov1233 This version uses MGS1 style synth instrumentation rather than the original's 16(?) bit, that's probably what they meant

[@TheBarlettano]

This should have played in the end credits of MGSV!

[@prodiggy13]

+TheBarlettan God, I couldn't agree more. I really wanted a MG1/2 remake. Especially 2 since it set everything about Metal Gear that we know today up.

Nah, MGSV doesn't deserve this song

CircaSriYak He doesn't. He is referencing that Solid Snake kills Venom at the end of Metal Gear which is 11 years after the Phantom Pain.

[@solidsalt3412]

This aged well

[@MrGauller]

MG1 takes place in Outer Heaven, and was originally for MSX. MG2 is Zanzibar Land. It was released for MSX2, but along with the MSX version of MG1, it wasn't released in the states until 2006, on PS2. Both are also in the MGS HD Collections. :)

[@dragonreiver8929]

I heard colonel reference Zanzibar land in mgs and my first thought was "why does that sound like an amusement park?" Colonel: "snake, you're a better shot than me! Win me that giant teddy bear!"

[@bttfvf]

Man i love the theme of solid snake,it just ounds so epic,and this remix makes it more awsome.Too bad europe and the USA didn't get to play the 2 original Metal Gears until we got MGS3 Subsitence.

[@ramimarkusmaunula1794]

I completely agree, the melodic compositional style was almost completely replaced with movie soundtrack -style incidental background tracks that one can't remember after they played.

[@katethegreat91]

I like this version a lot, but I think it would have sounded better if the composer had used the choir setting for the last part instead of horns.

[@KarjamP]

Instrument was not designed to be utilized like that; it has a bit of of a slow "attack", which means it fades in to the loudest part of the instrument's sound a bit slowly. The end result would've been a garbled mess if that instrument was used. And besides, Hideo was one of those people who'd prefer actually utilizing the instruments within the manner that actually fits their sound characteristics.

[@mariosonicfan8312]

Best music that I heard. This song also appeared in Super Smash Bros Brawl and I heard this for over 3 hours and this song is in my mind.

Actually I played MGS1 as a kid and was a hardcore fan ever since, only to realize there were two more games many years later. I guess that makes sense if you were not around in the 80s and were 8-10 years old in the late 90s, that's my case anyway.

The collection is also on 360 & Vita, though the Vita version doesn't have PW. However, later this month, they'll release downloads for MGS2 & 3 on PSN/XBL Games on Demand.(Not sure about PW.) MGS3 will probably still have MG1 & 2 as extras, so check it out.

[@Kaptain8964]

Someone needs to get the sound font for these midi's id love to hear some crazy PSX remixes with the MGS Soundfont.

[@MrGauller]

They're in MGS3 Subsistence(Disk 2), which I should have specified earlier. I usually find copies at Gamestop for $15, but they're starting to liquidate their PS2 stock, depending on the specific store.

[@Sarlagon]

@sam4061 That was Metal Gear SOLID 1, Metal Gear 1 and 2 came before Metal Gear Solid, that's why I wish those two would be remade as they seem to be a forgotten part of the Metal Gear franchise :(

[@mariosonicfan8312]

Very true.

[@CutThroat192]

I have plenty of stores that carry used games and consoles around where I live. There's a store nearby that has at least 30 Gamecubes sitting by the register, and they don't let people sell or trade them in because they have so many.

[@videogamer65]

The one thing on snakes face that will always make me think of him is his twisted grinch looking mouth. It is just badass.

[@MrGauller]

About my previous reply, Games on Demand seems to be getting MGS2 & 3 as one download. I'll look more into it later this month.

[@MetalGearPearl]

I search: Theme of Solid Snivy and this excelent music from my second favorite saga appeared

[@retrorider-NYC]

I prefer the 8 bit version. This ain’t bad tho🔥

[@mariosonicfan8312]

True, but I wish this game will release in USA version. Metal Gear Solid was release for Play Station, is sequel to Metal Gear 2:Solid Snake, but in USA version that release it was Snake's Revenge(not Metal Gear 2:Solid Snake) for NES.

[@bookone5917]

This is pure genius

[@BigBoss-gw4xd]

This is an awesome Metal Gear theme for the legendary soldier named Solid Snake

[@ryan489]

@GuestOfGregoryHouse agreed, this is the best version outside the original that I've heard of this song. I'd actually like to see Kojima remake Metal Gear 1 and 2 with next gen graphics and music. It would be awesome. Or at least use that theme again somewhere.

[@mariosonicfan8312]

True, but in Metal Gear 2:Solid Snake was release on MSX only in Japan.

[@ChrissREPoland]

Sadly MGS5 Ended on such a low note

[@Pan_Z]

:( We waited 5 years too. I really question what Kojima was doing for 5 years

[@GreenArt4]

If the conflict with Konami didn't happen, the 3rd chapter in the game might've been made and we would've have a decent conclusion. Now, it doesn't seem like we're gonna get anything MGS related for a long while...

[@Pan_Z]

***** It's not entirely Konami's fault, sadly. The average time to make a game is 2 to 3 years with a $30 million budget. Kojima had over $80 million and 5 years. Even without content cuts, Kojima really dropped the ball with the story in MGSV in general. Even the story that is there is just awful

[@ChrissREPoland]

***** Problem for me was the game was Too Big with nothing interesting in the middle. All MGS games were interesting because there was something new along the way. In MGS 5 for hours you looked at the same desert griding to the next story point.

[@Pan_Z]

Chriss RE Yep. Hey, it did wanted Kojima wanted, which was to appeal to the mainstream audience and make a crap ton of $$$

[@powerfulpulse369]

Sounds like it was remixed for MGS1, which had the best soundtrack out of all of the games

[@realDarkPeterson]

The Peace Walker soundtrack was my fav. :)

[@TheBanishedWind]

@sonickun95 The version that Brawl has is the MSX2 version. I was referring to this version.

[@DreamKing2]

@msxmen I am of course talking about back then. Unless you are speaking of yourself on which I stand corrected. If you had one of those back in the 80's and you didnt live in Japan you must be from Europe then. But I do know that MG2 wasnt released outside of Japan though so the only way you could have played that is if you imported...

[@Allexio173]

Indeed. I renjoyed mgs3 on ps2... couldn't wait hd collection :D

[@DreamKing2]

@Sarlagon Metal Gear 2 wasnt released outside of Japan for a long time so even the "oldies" didnt experience that unless they were Japanese. Even Metal Gear was changed when it was ported to the Nes, so really MG and MG2 were probably fully experienced when Snake eater came out. Also technically speaking, even though this isnt what you probably mean, the versions on Snake eater were remakes.

[@mariosonicfan8312]

Yeah, HD re-release also release for PS Vita. The PS Vita version re-release is for MGS2 and MGS3, they didn't remake MGS Peace Walker. I believe that Peace Walker remake is only on PS3 and Xbox 360. Is sure been 5 months.
