N-313, an animated recreation of MSX Metal Gear

Post by lazaromartinez3d »

Hi guys, I think you will find this interesting, given it is Metal Gear related and Kojima having a fondness of anime (this animated short does remind me a bit of Policenauts, in fact)
I interviewed Mitchell Hammond, the creator of an amazing animated short recreating the original Metal Gear, titled N-313. Here's a link to the Spanish interview:

And here's a Google translate version of the text. Not perfect, but close enough:

I hope you like it!

Hideo Kojima came up with the stealth-based gameplay with the MSX2's hardware limitations in mind. Since the MSX could barely handle conventional action games (due to the fact that the screen would flicker when too many animated objects were present, and the hardware couldn't handle scrolling very well), Kojima decided to make a game where the player had to avoid contact with the enemy instead of fighting. Kojima got the idea from The Great Escape (1963) and originally wanted to make the game about a POW escaping from the enemy's prison. However, Kojima's co-workers advised him that a game based solely on avoiding the enemy wouldn't work by itself and that the player would need to have something to defend themselves with whenever the player is discovered. As a result, the original escape premise was replaced by an infiltration premise. http://makeatea.com/green-tea-caffeine/ took the infiltration premise from The Guns of Navarone (1961).

The codename of Snake's mission (Operation: Intrude N313) is actually an inside joke regarding the development of the game. After Hideo Kojima's earlier game, "Lost Warld," was cancelled, he was assigned to work on a nearly cancelled military-themed game bearing the working title of "Project N312." Kojima departed from the game's original premise and gradually turned the game into what eventually became Metal Gear. In the game, Grey Fox's failed mission was titled "Operation: Intrude N312."

The whole Metal Gear series has sold over 14 million units worldwide to the start of 2004.

The game takes place in 1995.
