Metal Gear Solid 2 put the PlayStation 2 through its paces, and while Metal Gear Solid 3 by no means rested on its laurels or felt samey, it was very clearly built on the foundation of its predecessor. After parting ways with Konami, Kojima quickly got to work on Death Stranding, but that required founding an entire studio, hiring a team, and traveling the globe to find a game engine that was capable of rendering a photorealistic Norman Reedus taking a dump and chugging Monster Energy. In order to make Metal Gear Solid V, Kojima and his team developed a brand new proprietary game engine, The Fox Engine, from the ground up.

Metal Gear Solid 3 is one of the rare instances when Kojima’s team made a game that wasn’t breaking new ground in some capacity: MGS4 pushed the limits of the PlayStation 3’s cell architecture and Peace Walker did the same for the PSP, while also splitting the Metal Gear experience into portable bite-sized missions that could be played co-op. Not only do game developers regularly have to reinvent the wheel, they also have to reinvent (or at least replicate) the laws of physics that allow it to roll, turn, spin, and so on.

That said, video games are software, and development is an iterative process.Īs Carl Sagan famously put it, “If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe,” which is especially true of making video games. All forms of entertainment would be better if innovation and creativity were seen as worthwhile pursuits rather than financially risky endeavors. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” might be the mantra of many massively successful triple-A video game franchises, but it seems like Kojima’s anathema, which is by no means a bad thing. It seems like this urge to move on to new things is why Snake Eater, Guns of the Patriots, Peace Walker and The Phantom Pain are each such distinctive experiences. Konami, Knowyourmeme Thanks, Knowyourmeme.Since MGS2, Hideo Kojima has repeatedly claimed that each new entry would be his last Metal Gear game – except, ironically, MGSV, which WAS his last. We all loved seeing pictures of cats, but how many people in the mainstream had even heard of the word “meme” by then? Instead of the deep introspection that MGS2 brought to the living rooms of so many pre-pubescent gamers who found themselves forever changed, Revengeance's depth came from characters who'd seemingly just escaped an anime talking about the concept of memes.

Konami Official reports say that there was only one person who was able to really got into it.

Revengeance ended up coming out in 2013, and despite garnering praise for its incredible high octane action, most people found themselves unable to get into the game due to its impossibly bizarre plot and characters. Yes, we're talking about that Metal Gear Solid series.

We're talking about a project so bonkers that Konami had to call in a different and much-edgier dev company to get the thing done, and the end result was a game so bananas that even Hideo Kojima himself considered canceling it to prevent the Metal Gear Solid series from getting too crazy. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is the name of an official Metal Gear Solid series spinoff and somehow not a fanfiction created by a malfunctioning AI.
