The Story of Hideo Kojima: Metal Gear Solid and the Cinematic Game Revolution

2018-06-29に共有
Hideo Kojima insists that while most people are 70% water, he is 70% film.

It was Hideo's love of film, and desire to become a movie director, that led him to create Metal Gear Solid. He made use of a brand new games console, the PlayStation, and its advanced processing power and graphical capability, to build his cinematic masterpiece.

In doing so, Hideo revolutionised video games. This is the story of Metal Gear Solid, and how Hideo Kojima used Lego bricks, machine guns, and battering rams to create the seminal PlayStation stealth game.

  • Is ironic how Konami decayed while Hideo Kojima continued to try new things and kept pursuing his passions
  • Imagine if LEGO makes a Metal Gear Solid toy line! Holy crap! I want a LEGO Metal Gear Rex!

    Kojima-san is a legend in the VG world. Wonderful video and narration!
  • Metal Gear Solid is my favorite game of all time. It made me cry after beating sniper wolf, amazed me countless times, who can forget psycho Mantis boss fight, yelled at the tv while fighting the Hind D because I was so immersed in the game. Solid Snake became my favorite video game character and all the characters were memorable. No other game would come close to how impactful the game was. Thank you for your wonderful work.

    If I ever have kids, I'm going to play your videos for their bed time stories. You folks are amazing.
  • This whole story brought tears to my eyes, Mr. Kojima is truly a legend and an inspiration to all of us. Thank you for this and great narration!
  • @morbid1.
    MGS is my #1 game of all time... I spend hours alone replaying it many times
  • Everyone, you should all checkout Policenauts regardless. It's one of kojima's best work and VERY underrated. The konami logo theme from MGS came this game.

    Kojima originally planned to release the third Metal Gear game, to be called Metal Gear 3, for the 3DO console in 1994. However, due to the declining support of the 3DO hardware, development of the game shifted to the PlayStation. Kojima retitled the game Metal Gear Solid, choosing this over the working title Metal Gear 3. This was due to the fact that he believed that the first two MSX2 games in the series were not well known at the time. He used the word "Solid" because thanks to 3D computer graphics, he could now create a "solid" game world, although he also partially attributed the title's inspiration to Solid Snake.

    Hideo: man, I can't wait to make a one hour unskippable cutscene.
  • I am taking a moment to say, that you guys are Freaking Awesome! Seriously. (:
  • Another awesome video! I didn't know about Kojima building the world of MGS using LEGOs. It's incredible, because I grew up on LEGOs and have a huge soft spot for it. ^_^
  • Kojima is a genius, living in every pore. MGS is one of Japan's greatest gifts to mankind!
  • I would love to see a Animal Crossing video and a Kingdom Hearts video!
  • The artwork, the voicework, the warm music, the life lesson... just what my day needed :D
