The Outer Heaven Tapes | Your 90s song cassette picks? - Dirty Duck - 14-04-2025 So a fun part of MGSV were the cassette tapes of 80s songs that you could find spread throughout the game. Being able to blast 'Rebel Yell' as Pequod lands or bump 'Maneater' while infiltrating an enemy outpost was not only #epic but also did a lot of legwork for getting the time period across. With the potential for a Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 remake being a hot topic of discussion my question to you all is if the game brought back cassette tapes what would be your picks for 90s songs to really immerse us in the time period as well as create a certain feel for infiltrating Outer Heaven and Zanzibar Land? (Wayno I expect you to separate your answers so as to properly convey 1995 and 1999 respectively as well as explain why they're vital to the time period. Naturally.) There were 16 licensed songs in MGSV. So I think a limit of 25 is fair to give a bit of wiggle room without going mad. Here's mine: Outer Heaven Uprising: The Man Who Sold The World - Nirvana Zombie - The Cranberries Alberto Balsam - Aphex Twin only shallow - my bloody valentine Just - Radiohead Even Flow - Pearl Jam The Jangling Man - Cleaners From Venus Bizarre Love Triangle '94 - New Order 93 'Til Infinity - Souls of Mischief Brain Stew - Green Day Bullet With Butterfly Wings - Smashing Pumpkins Spiderwebs - No Doubt Buddy Holly - Weezer Zanzibar Land Disturbance: Teardrop - Massive Attack Born Slippy - Underworld Semi-Charmed Life - Third Eye Blind Flowers - Cibo Mato Breathe - The Prodigy Road Rage - Catatonia Everlong - Foo Fighters 6 Underground - Sneaker Pimps Say You'll Be There - Spice Girls Da Funk - Daft Punk Automatic - Hikaru Utada Volcano Girls - Veruca Salt Is this an excuse to make a 90s mixtape? Maybe! But it's also an excuse to imagine a 20-something year old Solid Snake listening to said mixtape. I had a much longer list of just songs I liked at first. It was hard to whittle it down but I tried to think about whether it was a good fit to be in a game like this rather than if it was just a good song. I tried to have a good spread of music types too but I'm aware this does tend towards rock and its offshoots a bit more than other genres.

Glad to see it. Also good to see that Buddy Holly is (so far) 100% regarded as essential Outer Heaven listening.
