WARNING: SPOILERS FOR METAL GEAR SOLID 1-5, AND METAL GEAR SURVIVE FOLLOW It would take until 1998’s Metal Gear Solid, the breakout title in the series, and for aueter Hideo Kojima.
There wasn’t really the sophistication to do much of anything in the early Metal Gear titles. While it’s fairly rare to find these horror-themed moments when taking in the sheer amount of hours you can spend playing them, they tend to be pretty effective changes in pace. Some of those influences are from horror, which is somewhat unsurprising given his adoration of the likes of John Carpenter and Nicholas Wending Refn. Some of its most interesting moments come from the eccentricity of Hideo Kojima, a man who consumes media and pop culture whole before bleeding it out into the games he creates. Metal Gear has been with us for three decades, providing plenty of stealthy sneaking, over-explained political espionage, and a whole host of weirdness.
