By the way, I can't really vote on this poll since I never hated TTS to begin with. It's the game that got me into Metal Gear , after all. How could I hate that? You're right on the money pointing out that there's no option in the poll for those who never hated TTS at all. That was on purpose :grin...

Yeah, I've always insisted Snatcher to play it through the end, if only to see the cool Fox vs. Rex stuff =p I agree, perhaps the problem is that it wasn't marketed as what it is and not as a remake. It infuriated most of us because it was supposed to be comparable to the original masterpiece, when ...

Conference and chat with Ryuhei Kitamura
Last sunday I had the chance to talk with Ryuhei Kitamura at the Anime Expo 2006. He went there to premiere his movie Azumi (good movie, BTW), which will be finally released theatrically and in DVD stateside in the following weeks. Several topics were mentioned, but he clarified a lot about his invo...

Missing footage from MGS2 discovered
Someone uncovered the footage that matches Karen Hojo's dialog found in the Document of MGS2, buried in the original MGS2 game DVD (it's absent in Substance). The footage is in the MGS/movie.dat file accessible through the filesystem, timecode 29:47. The original dialog from the Document is as follo...

I would have loved this feature. The problem with it is that the mainstream gamers would have hated it, so the only way I see it could be possible to include it is by using a reward system for the hardcore players. Examples: Halo 2: I don't really dig this game, but technically the AI is awesome, th...

I don't think it's a strange crossover. Rockman (the EXE version) and Django share quite a bit of similarities: The isometric view for exploration (although Rockman uses a different one for battle) The shooting style (frontal shooting, both acquire different weapons with variable effects to their en...

Bokutai /Megaman Crossover Battle
I just stumbled upon this interesting news, you can connect Boktai 2 and the upcoming Rockman EXE 5 to have Django and Rockman in a battle against Shademan, at least in Japan. Basically, you need two GBA with wireless adapters (the feature doesn't work with the Link Cable) and a copy of each game, t...

Just playing for the second time in the japanese version, I am noticing some new stuff. EVA/Tatyana appears with the objective to replace the real one and to kill ADAM to prevent him from blowing her cover. This by itself doesn't imply the real EVA was killed, but consider that she has the Scientist...

Yes, Snake gets the real Legacy, while EVA gets the fake one. Remember The Boss was the only one who knew EVA was a fake spy from the very beginning (apart from Ocelot, but EVA doesn't know his relationship with The Boss). Ocelot does know who's got the real microfilm and that's the reason why he ne...

While I was writing my previous post and mentioned correctness, I remembered a very important point that sheds some new light on this discussion. It's a well known fact that during the Cold War the superpowers on each side of the Iron Curtain (US and USSR primarily) spent a lot of time and money on ...

LOL I liked your Bond analogy, and for the most part you're right, but there's a reason behind the enemies behaving like they do. They'd lack a lot of character if they were just soldiers with a high AI and some special powers, that'd make MGS kind of a third-person Halo. I like Kojima's games becau...

Who's the real EVA?
Originally, EVA and ADAM, the defected NSA codebreakers were both men, and ADAM was the one who infiltrated Volgin's ranks. Tatyana knew about them and so she was expecting to kill ADAM when he appeared, but she also knew she could pass for EVA because the real one would never appear. So who was thi...

I understand your concern, I found Liquid's arm in MGS2 a very cheap, disappointing excuse for a villain, it really destroyed any sense of realism for me, I've been Kojima's hardcore fan for a long time and it pains me to say that for a moment I couldn't tell the difference between MGS2's storyline ...

I feel relieved thanks to these latest comments from 108. I just want to add that while I completely agree with the notion that Kojima can never give us that much of a surprise than what he pulled on us with MGS2, it's not what I feared in the first place. Really, I never felt that the problem with ...

I agree. As ironic or ridiculous as it may sound, there are limits to how acceptable can wackiness be. As much as I loved MGS2, I also hated it for not being able to contain things within its own proposed perspective. It came to a point where it was not about thinking outside of the box or going bey...

Snatcher and I discussed this the other day and I just wanted to share my thoughts with everybody else. I believe the same thing. The 'hidden' themes in the previous MGS games have a strong connection with their respective endings. That is to say that the memes and genes and now the scene affect the...
