All Metal Gear fans around the world hold their breath waiting for upcoming
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the patriots (planned release date is 12/06/2008), a new installment in the highly popular Metal Gear series, which originally took off on the MSX in 1987.
While waiting for the release,
GameTrailers decided to heat up the interest by publishing the
Metal Gear Restrospective trailer, made out of 2 parts.
Part One covers the 8-bit era, and 2nd one (to be published soon) will talk about MGS on PlayStation and later installments of the game.
To many, it may come as a surprise that Hideo Kojima has had a troubled period in his developing career, but that's exactly what happened. The original Metal Gear was a last attempt to save Kojima's career. The idea of a "sneaking mission" game, where the player isn't encouraged to kill everything on sight was a daring move ... and the rest of this concept became MSX-history!
The trailer contains:
- story about Kojima's involvment in Penguin Adventure creation
- side-by-side comparison of MSX2 and NES versions of Metal Gear
- Snake's Revenge coverage
- Metal Gear 2 - Solid Snake coverage
