Twin Sanke eh? Let the wild speculation begin......now!

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #1 on:** April 25, 2003, 06:29:36 PM »

Sounds good. I was worried we would get Metal Gear Raiden 2.

Locke Cole · « **Reply #2 on:** April 25, 2003, 06:33:00 PM »

LOL I hope to god that if Raiden is even in the game, they kill him off in the first scene. I hated him, anyways, *grabs spec hat from Mario Kart forums* why isn't this game numbered.....

HEY I JUST FOUND THIS OUT!!!! if you highliite all the text they say heeeeeesssss back!!!!!!!!!! What does that mean?

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #3 on:** April 25, 2003, 06:40:47 PM »

Still 18 days until E3.... *sob*

Wtf? How did you find that out?

I just hope they are talking about snake and not Raiden though.

It sounds like we are going to get some good old fashioned Solid Snake action though. I definately approve of that.

i want a new Metal Gear game, with GBA connectivity (however MGS would be nice)

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #5 on:** April 25, 2003, 07:43:07 PM »

I've haven't played any of the MGS games, but I'm curious why fans hated Raiden so much? Was it because he had no genitalia?

Moonwatcher · « **Reply #6 on:** April 25, 2003, 07:47:06 PM »

Sanke, Snake, what's the difference?
Anyways, I doubt the game shows up playable at E3 but a video is better than nothing. I never played MGS on the Playstation but I really liked what I played of Sons of Liberty. I really, really hope that this one is set in the jungle like the impossibly hard NES game. I think I've seen about a million too many ship interiors and military bases. I still can't believe that Miyamoto is involved in making this game, it seems so out of character for him to work on something with that level of violence.

Twin snake probably is about the gba. Also I think instead of that damn radio inturupting your game it will now be on your gba. As well as some neat spy gadgets. Hopefully this new name means a whole brand spanking new game. Nintendo needs to take back all these games that started on their consol. They deserve to be #1. Yes i can be a fanboy if i want i grew up with nintendo, its like my papa

GoldShadow1 · « **Reply #8 on:** April 25, 2003, 08:37:03 PM »

Sounds like co-op to me, considering the way IGN seems to think the name hints at a feature.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #9 on:** April 25, 2003, 08:51:06 PM »

Moonwatcher, I think it's just someone taking a quote out of context. I am right positive that Miyamoto has little to no involvemtn in the making of the game.

Epitaph, Metal Gear started on MSX, not the NES. NES got one port, and one original game which sucked. Neither game was as good as either on MSX.

Raiden was one of the MANY problems with MGS2. Metal Gear Solid 1 and Metal Gear 2 are among my favorite games of all time. MGS2 is one of my most hated. I will sum up why fans hate MGS2 so much. Metal Gear Solid - Hero is Solid Snake. The man is seriously freaking cool, and goes through the game killing and destroying everything in his path. He's the classic 80s hero, but he does it very well. The storyline in the game is like a James Bond anime. Very cool. Metal Gear Solid 2 - Hero is Raiden. The man is seriously freaking queer. He and his girlfriend have these long emotional conversations that make me want to throw up. Especially since Kojima thought it would be great if he had them calling eachother Jack and Rose. I tried to have patience with the little homosexual, but after a while of him and his girlfriend whining at eachother, I couldn't handle it anymore. The storyline of the game is largely identical to Metal Gear 2, and Metal Gear Solid (recycled storyline in every game, but this one was the worst), however, the ending was screwed beyond all recognition this time around. It was supposed to be deep and haunting or some crap like that, but really it was just stupid. Metal Gear Solid 2 was sold to fans as being a good sequel to Metal Gear Solid. Raiden was never shown in previews, and the demo of the game only included the first level, in which Solid Snake was the playable character. I maintain that the first level was seriously cool, and was everything that a Metal Gear game should be. However, the game went progressively downhill from that point on. By the end I was forcing myself to keep playing.

The twin could be referring to Liquid Snake. Could this be an MGS1 remake after all?

Did anybody see the hidden message in the metal gear question to ign??

Some Kid Asked this:

I saw my wishlist and I saw that the name for Metal Gear Solid for the GCN is MGS: Twin Snake. That means you know something, and I want to know what that is!!
-- Mike

Cory responds: Veeeerry interesting discovery. Yes, that could very well mean something. And it could be a very, very cool thing, indeed. Are we allowed to speak of it before E3? I'm afraid not. If we did, certain parties would have our tongues neatly removed and fingertips sanded clean off. In the case of my suction-cupped appendages, this would be very painful for yours truly.

It seems normal right? wrong! go here

and highlight the last question which is the metal gear question. There is a hidden messege at the end.

Hybrid Hunter · « **Reply #12 on:** April 25, 2003, 11:00:49 PM »

He's baaaaaack.

Man i hope this game is exclusive, more reason to get it!
can't wait until E3!!!!!

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #13 on:** April 26, 2003, 12:54:04 AM »

thanks Grey Ninja. i read the PC version MGS2: Substance review (since I don't have a xbox or PS2), and realised the game wasn't for me. the reviewer said it was a mess and all the good parts were done in cut-scenes (see my signature).

Hemmorrhoid · « **Reply #14 on:** April 26, 2003, 01:20:36 AM »

Grey Ninja your absolutely right, I didnt play MGS but MGS2 ship part kicked ass.
But once it got to playing with Raiden, and all the stupid annoying talk and unnecessary cutscenes it pissed me off.
They also tried to implement too much conspiracy in the game, I know american gamers dig that, but that story was just CRAZY.

And to answer Hybrid Hunters question, yes this game is exclusive.

snorgasmo · « **Reply #15 on:** April 26, 2003, 03:21:25 AM »

i'm all for a new mgs game that doesn't entail wildly incomprehensible storylines and main characters with feathered hair... but i can't help but feel that cube owners will end up getting shafted in the end.. i have this feeling that this game will focus huge on gba connectivity or multiplayer... nothing wrong with gba connectivity and multiplayer.. as long as they're not in my metal gear games...

anyone else having a hard time swallowing the multiplayer focus of FF crystal chronicles? i have a feeling the cube mgs game will be similar..

konami, please prove me wrong...

shinsnake · « **Reply #16 on:** April 26, 2003, 03:57:32 AM »

Could this be Kojima's father-son related game? Could it be Solid Snake and his son? I guess it would then be called parental snake or something like that.

Locke Cole · « **Reply #17 on:** April 26, 2003, 04:39:24 AM »

I have figured it out!!!!! RAIDEN IS SNAKE'S UNCLES COUSINS'S SUN!!!!!!!

*Sarcasim off*

I had to do that, well anyways, I'm real excited for this new game. Hopefully it will be exclusive for Nintendo Gamecube only. I mean I've loved the way MGS2 was presented in the beginning but in the end of the game it was too crappy. I got bored with how I would just walk down a hall then get a cutscene, shoot somebody for a little bit, cutscene. It got a little boring and repetitive. Hopefully he won't make the same mistake with this game.

mariomeatball · « **Reply #18 on:** April 26, 2003, 08:16:58 AM »

A re-make of the original MGS would make me wet my pants and cry for joy!!!! WOW i love my gamecube!

Darc Requiem · « **Reply #19 on:** April 26, 2003, 08:23:01 AM »

Cool I'm glad Snake is back. That stated I don't hate MGS2. I do think it was inferior to MGS1 that without question. I think one fo the biggest problems with MGS2 wasn't the game it self, it was the fact that they snuck Raiden in on everyone. Then the fact that Raiden was the polar opposite of Snake did not help. I mean when I got to the big shell and I was playing Raiden....I kept waiting to get control of Snake again. It was like bait and switch. I thought it was a good but seriously flawed game. They should have renamed it Metal Gear Raiden: Extreme Paranoia. The extreme conspiracy theme of the game near the end was bit of a turn off. I hope that Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snake for GC is more like the games previous to MGS2.

It would be great if they remade the first metal gear game. Metal Gear Solid would even work. All they have to do is Update all the graphics and add some more storyline to a already great game.

Hemmorrhoid · « **Reply #21 on:** April 26, 2003, 09:11:51 AM »

What I found the strangest SHIAT in MGS2 was that Solidus was Ocelots arm or something, hell that was wierd.
Anyways, I think this game could be really awesome, I hope they manage to exceed the greatness of Splinter Cell, and since this
game is exclusive it might really draw some people.

Grey Ninja: Have you played MGS2 Substance? I haven't personally, but I've ehard Kojima replaced Raiden with Snake in most of it.

Locke Cole · « **Reply #23 on:** April 26, 2003, 09:38:43 AM »

He didn't replace him, you were given the choice if you wanted to play through the whole game as Snake or Raiden I think. There was a lot of extras with substance that I heard was good, but the Skateboarding was bad.

No, I haven't. I have no desire to.

*** MINOR SPOILERS ***

They have added some VR missions, and Snake's Tales.... Snake's Tales could be very cool, but I still don't like MGS2's storyline. What Snake's Tales is going through parts of the game as Snake instead of Raiden. For example, when you have to disable the Fatman's bombs, you can play as Snake, and disable his bombs rather than Raiden's. It just adds a new dimension to the game. I still don't think that the game would be bearable though, and if I owned a copy of the game, I would play the Tanker level about 6 million times, and never bother with the rest of the game.
