The iconic voice actor behind the Metal Gear Solid series, David Hayter, is back with the stealth franchise but for a different purpose: narrating the games' history and cultural impact. Konami has debuted METAL GEAR SOLID Legacy Series, a series of short form videos about the origins of Metal Gear with none other than David Hayter as our guide. You can watch the first part below:



However, the company has not revealed the frequency of these videos' airing nor how many parts the series will include.

Actually pretty cool when Konami actually does stuff, who could have known

Wish they would do something like that with Castlevania and IGA

Please for God's sake, have IGA make the Demon Castle War game


EDIT : It did felt a bit self congratulatory. Like « some called MGS the best game ever made » like ... yeah sure, some did that. I don't care that they didn't mentioned Kojima once but it's just weird to have Konami saying that kind of stuff about one of their games.
It's always weird when a company just straight up says : damn such a classic, look at this extraordinary game that y'all said was the best ever made and absolutely ground breaking

David Hayter IS the real Solid Snake...the pretender Jack Bauer dude from 24 is nothing but a cheap Snake knock-off.

If Konami release an update with a new voice over for Snake featuring Hayter I will actually play and finish both Mgs5

I abandoned my play-through on the first mission; of Ground Zero, Phantom Pain is still sealed, I couldn't stand the voice of Jack Bauer(whatever his name is)

It kind of made sense since Solid Snake had nothing to do with MGS 5. He's literally not in the game what so ever, his twin brother Liquid Snake is as a 7 year old child. So even if he was in the game it would have been as a 7 year old and obviously not Hayter's voice.

I spent 255 hours on PP and 100%'d it, was worth every minute one of the best games.

I have no idea how many years passed between me playing MGS4 and playing MGSV. I can tell you the near-decade helped adjust to the voice, but in all honesty MGSV doesn't even feel like an MGS game to me. I don't mean to sound like it's bad or anything, it just felt too new and next-gen compared to how the previous games played.

I guess I'm stuck in the past. MGS1-3 will always be peak MGS for me.

1, 3 and Peace Walker are my favorites, 4 is my least favorite I feel that game aged the worst of any MGS. While it's not my favorite I loved 5.

Yeah! I had to grow into 2 a bit, but I do consider it a really good entry. 1 and 3 are definitely my favorites, and I appreciate how the dev team always tried some new stuff with every game.

I dwell on the bad parts of MGS4 because there wasn't much gameplay, and that tailing mission was extremely temperamental. The focus really was on the graphics and story, but the story was mostly payoffs from the other games. It was a textbook seventh-generation game, I guess.

I'd put 2 over 4, but didn't understand why Kojima tried to replace Snake with Raiden. Unless you count the old MSX games we'd really only gotten 1 game with Solid Snake at the time. It's still a good game though, better than 4.

It's funny, thinking about how Solid Snake was a playable character about half the time. Maybe less, if Ground Zeroes counts as a separate game and MGS2 only counts for the Tanker sequence. Slightly more, if you count spin-off's like MGS (Game Boy Color) and Metal Gear Acid, but especially less counting the non-canon stuff, like Portable Ops (Original and Plus) on the PSP.

My head's starting to hurt. Don't go down the MGS rabbit hole!

Its shit that they call this a MASTER COLLECTION, for the first time on ext generation consoles, yet the PS1 version is an absolute shit, lazy port..... we can emulate our original PS1 game with texture improvements, higher resolutions and higher frame rate for absolutely fuck all.

Then we get METAL GEAR SOLID 2 and METAL GEAR SOLID 3, which again are just more lazy ports of the HD REMASTERS that were released back then as NEXT GENERATION consoles.

And again, we can emulate our original PS2 versions with texture improvements, higher resolutions and higher frame rate for absolutely fuck all..... or play METAL GEAR SOLID HD COLLECTION, which would be considered to be more like a MASTER COLLECTION, with it including METAL GEAR SOLID PEACE WALKER, which Konami removed and replaced it with this shit PS1 port of METAL GEAR SOLID.

As for the MSX versions, well, these were already included with METAL GEAR SOLID 3, so your not getting anything extra.

So here is Konami re releasing the same shit that have already been re released already to this BS new generation of gamers, sorry but this is just utter BS.

Anyone who hasn't already played METAL GEAR SOLID games by now, firstly can easily do so without Konami claiming this to be some kind of MASTER COLLECTION and charging £50 for, or can do so by getting the original PS1 version and the HD REMASTER which would cost less than what Konami are charging for this and as a bonus, you'd be getting an extra game, METAL GEAR SOLID PEACE WALKER.

Which is HIGHLY LIKELY that Konami removed this when lazily porting over METAL GEAR SOLID 2 and METAL GEAR SOLID 3 HD REMASTERS so that they can then add it into METAL GEAR SOLID THE MASTER COLLECTION VOL 2. knowing that fans will have to buy it solely for METAL GEAR SOLID PEACE WALKER, thus also then having a complete collection.

And as for these so called NEXT GENERATION of gamers that haven't yet played METAL GEAR SOLID games before NOR any of the above apply to them.

This is exactly the same BS EXCUSE that the WET DRIP NINTENDO FANBOYS dribble on about as they make the same excuse when they BLINDLY DEFEND NINTENDO when all they do is RECYCLE the same games OVER and OVER, which NINTENDO ported over as many OLDER TITLES from its LAST GEN consoles over to its so called NEXT GEN CONSOLE.

If you haven't already played METAL GEAR SOLID GAMES then there's going to be a reason as to why, same with any other series of games or stand alone game, YOU havent bothered to play it NOR bothered to pick it up when its DEAD CHEAP, is because you had NO INTEREST in doing so.

Your not going to be like OHH I NEVER WANTED TO PLAY THIS GAME BEFORE WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT, NOR BOTHERED TO PLAY IT WHEN IT ONLY COST A FEW QUID.

BUT I KNOW, ILL NOT BOTHER WITH THE FACT I CAN PLAY THESE EXACT SAME GAMES ON THE CONSOLES I ALREADY OWN, OR COULD OWN (IF I DON'T ALREADY) FOR LESS THAN IT WOULD COST TO BUY THE NEXT GENERATION CONSOLE + THIS LAZY PORT OF THESE GAMES WITH A MAHOOSIVE £50 PRICE TAG.

No sane person would happily sit there and rejoice over the fact Konami have pretty much taken the piss and taken advantage of the fanbase, knowing a true METAL GEAR SOLID fan will instantly buy this and they've put absolutely no effort into what should have been to make this the true MASTER COLLECTION as they claim.

And this is exactly what the WET DRIP NINTENDO FANBOYS are like, these same FANBOYS who DEFEND NINTENDO for taking the piss and advantage knowing their LOYAL SHEEP FANBOYS will blindly keep re-buying the same shit over and give this same BS excuse of not having the chance to play it the first time round, nor wanted to buy it when it is DEAD CHEAP on the console they ALREADY OWN or could buy for alot less.

They even love to CONTRADICT and change their defence as/when NINTENDO SAY SO, such as the most recent when slating the price increase of NEXT GEN CONSOLE games, this been PS5/XBX SX, which on this one for once these WET DRIPS are actually making sense that YES it TAKES THE PISS that the game prices have increased just for the sake of them being NEXT GEN CONSOLE GAMES.

Which DON'T EXACTLY COST THAT MUCH MORE than when MOST/IF NOT ALL are using THIRD PARTY ENGINES to simplify porting over across MOST GAMING PLATFORMS.

So here you'll find them SLATING, yet COMPLETELY BACK TRACK and CONTRADICT when NINTENDO did exactly the same when, if you remember that SHIT ZELDA GAME, that WAS ESSENTIALLY an over-sized map with NOTHING to do but REPETITIVE SHRINES that were basically mini game like demo's showcasing how its new BS GIMMICK JOYCONS could be used.

Then to make profit from this, they basically SLAPPED ZELDA ONTO IT, then later started to give us ACTUAL CONTENT we SHOULD have been given in the game in the first place, but HOLD UP, they're CHARGING US EXTRA.....

Then there were so much content to add into this EMPTY GAME, that they then thought why not take advantage of our loyal fans, as they'll blindly buy anything we tell them to, thus been ZELDA TOFK, a CURRENT GEN GAME, offering NOTHING NEW, yet they decided to INCREASE its price to match that of NEXT GEN CONSOLE GAME PRICES.....

They'll be like, OHH WELL, IF YOU LIKE THE GAME, YOU WILL BUY IT...... while just SLATING the PRICE OF SAID NEXT GEN GAME, that is offering something completely new (not content missing from what should have been in the first game to start with), Higher Resolutions, higher frame rates, better graphics and so on and so on...... NOPE NINTENDO are giving them absolutely fuck all in return for its increased price tag.

And this isnt the first time they have got away doing this, take Pokemon Arceus, exactly the same as BOTW which then was followed up with another game EXACTLY the same, but this time adding content that SHOULD have been in the first game, but NINTENDO KNOW TOO WELL THAT ITS WET DRIP FANBOYS WILL BUY IT INSTANTLY.

We can take MARIO KART, yup, they defended it, another lazy port in which after raping millions from its fanbase, they then decide to add NEW CONTENT that YOU SHOULD EXPECT IN A NEW GAME, but NINTENDO take the piss even more by CHARGING EXTRA FOR THIS NEW CONTENT.

So using this same BS excuse as an attempt to DEFEND is the cause of too many game devs knowing they can GET AWAY with CRAPPING OUT THE SAME SHIT OVER AND OVER.

THIS is also exactly WHY NINTENDO gets away releasing SHIT HARDWARE one after the other, CONSTANTLY releasing CONSOLES that are just subpar to the LAST GEN CONSOLES, then use some BS GIMMICK and thats it, these WET DRIP FANBOYS are now claiming games are only fun now thanks to this BS GIMICK.

NINTENDO GETTING AWAY with RESTRICTING THIRD PARTIES from supporting them with their NEW TITLES, this at the same time is ENSURING THAT NINTENDOS GAMES HAVE NO RIVAL OR COMPETITION.

When all of this constant BS PROMISE from NINTENDO that it will do better to provide better THIRD PARTY SUPPORT, are just LIES, all you end up getting are ALL OF THE OLD TITLES from the LAST GENERATION now able to port over to NINTENDO because it finally has the hardware to do so, but they ENSURE THIRD PARTIES CANT SUPPORT THEM WITH THEIR NEW TITLES WITHOUT MAKING IT A SHIT INFERIOR PORT THAT NEVER GAINS THE SALES RETURN.

And now that we are seeing game studios like Konami are taking advantage of these same simpleton fans, claim your game to be something that it isn't, bring nothing new that would be thanks to these NEXT GENERATION CONSOLES.

They simply keep crapping out the same OLD SHIT over and over.

You'd have thought this so called MASTER COLLECTION would have included support for higher resolutions such as the FREE MODS from the community that adds 4K RESOLUTIONS, TEXTURE IMPROVEMENTS AND HIGHER FRAME RATES...... And we are paying absolutely FUCK ALL.

YET KONAMI are still spouting SHITE, pushing this shit MASTER COLLECTION, while ignoring what we wanted to have seen in this release, which has been included by the community for FREE, THEY STILL REFUSE TO ADD THIS INTO THE NEXT GENERATION CONSOLES, same as refusing to fix its bugs ESPECIALLY ON THE SHITENDO SWITCH.

AND THEYRE STILL CHARGING FULL WHACK FOR THE GAME, which DOESN'T EVEN COME ON YOUR NEXT GENERATION CONSOLE GAME DISC, WHICH CAN EASILY FIT (IF NOT THE ENTIRE METAL GEAR SOLID GAME COLLECTION), and of course would FAIL to fit on the YET AGAIN SHIT CHOICE when NINTENDO OPT INTO USING EXPENSIVE/INFERIOR CART BASED MEDIA FORMAT FOR ITS GAMES.
