Fun fact: MGS1 was the very first game I played on my 9th birthday, when my mom gifted me my first PlayStation! I had a choice between MGS1 and MediEvil as my first experience of 3D gaming. Was not prepared for the sheer anxiety of Tactical Espionage Action. I was trapped in the Dock for hours.]]>

The more fleshed out and exciting one for most people is the playable boss mode, which, contrary to what I was expecting, isn't just a skin swap. These guys went the extra mile in giving each boss their own unique movesets and animations. Gray Fox in particular is his VR mode on steroids and I'm here for it.

It would fit Konami's schedule too, alternating between remasters and remakes (Master Collection Vol. 1 - Delta - Master Collection Vol. 2 - ?).

Regardless, what do you want from such a remake?

Here's what I'd like to see:
- A gritty mood. Shadow Moses is an old Cold War military base. It should evoke films like Escape From New York (1981), The Terminator (1984) or Enki Bilal comic books as Kojima said it himself.
- A reenvisioned Shadow Moses that keeps the memorable rooms (Heliport, Otacon's lab, Commander Room, Snowfield, Blast Furnace, Rex's lair, ...), but expands and changes stuff to keep the game challenging. More guards, cameras, spotlights, traps, ...
- No open world. The point of the game is being stuck inside the base during a snowstorm without being able to escape from the location. Being able to go fishing outside for example would defeat this purpose.
- Incorporating gameplay from the later installments. Boss fights like Sniper Wolf and Liquid could really benefit from these additions.
- Cutscenes that feel cinematic. No slavish recreations of the PS1 cutscenes but no extravaganza like those in The Twin Snakes.
- Possibly reusing the voice track from the original MGS1.
- Lots of VR Missions as the Cyborg Ninja (Gray Fox), developed by PlatinumGames]]> MGS1. It would fit Konami's schedule too, alternating between remasters and remakes (Master Collection Vol. 1 - Delta - Master Collection Vol. 2 - ?).

I'm referring to the official pc release from back in the day on gog, not the master collection version.

after doing enough research it seems like if you use that startup argument then it turns your function keys into cheat buttons, even though i couldn't actually verify that from anywhere . it seems they are indeed real though and not wack.]]>

so why even impersonate DARPA chief donald anderson and fool snake...?

I’ve always preferred the Otacon ending. I feel like it makes the story more impactful and ties Otacon and Snake together in tragedy. Plus their exchange on the snowmobile is better.]]>

Kojima has no issue stretching reality to fit his universe, but how possible is it for someone to SWALLOW an entire pack of cigarettes, and then tactically regurgitate them??

Naomi tells Snake that he's been given medication to suppress his gastrointestinal juices--Effectively preventing the pack from being digested. It's well-known that cigarettes are not good for you if eaten, search engine results claim that vomiting and a possible fever is almost guaranteed.

The biggest piece to this puzzle is the item icon ingame:

Snake did not just swallow a handful of cigarettes--They are IN A PACK. So that prevents the stomach from absorbing chemicals from the cigarettes themselves, I guess (?). But how did this man swallow an entire pack of cigarettes? Judging by the one sticking out of the pack in the icon, this is a soft pack rather than a hard pack. Soft packs are essentially just a paper wrapping, rather than a cardboard box. That said, soft packs are practically the same dimensions as a hard pack. How many cigarettes were in there?? Snake is never actually shown finishing one ingame, so either he's smoking the same four or five butts and putting them out or we as the player are just given an unlimited supply.

Is this possible for some special forces badass? Is Snake just the throat goat??

I don't know why I am making this thread.]]>
