It will be frustratingly unclear within the canon of the series whether you find this out now, in the next game, or in between games.Īctual character names: Black Ninja, Running Man, Red Blaster, Ultra Box, Night Fright, Jungle Evil, Holly. The villain of Metal Gear, Big Boss, is revealed to be the mastermind behind the whole plot, is still alive despite being set on fire, is set on fire again, and is revealed to be your father. You are required to lure venomous hamsters out of their hiding hole to gain intel that is vital for the mission. You get vital mission information via carrier pigeon. You fight an ex-Olympic figure skater who has turned into a Russian agent-turned-terrorist. You fight somebody who can run really fast, and the way to defeat him is by laying landmines so he can run over them, like some kind of human Speedy Gonzalez. They do not send these ninjas into space. NASA, the space agency, runs a project which allows them to cybernetically enhance unsuspecting government employees into becoming ninjas. The deadly hamsters of Zanzibar, which feature in a key plot point in Metal Gear 2. Drago Petrovich Madnar, Bloody Brad, Jennifer.

(There are spoilers, obviously.) The impractical titular walking tank of Metal Gear. In the words of Margo Channing, sadly a fictional character in a film released 37 years prior to the birth of Metal Gear: strap in, because you’re in for a bumpy ride. So in honour of this new game (kind of – mostly I just though there needed to be a concise yet detailed documentation of the insanity that is the Metal Gear games), I give you a largely commentary-free list of things that have one hundred percent happened through the 31 years of this series.
Despite this, a game where you travel through a wormhole to an alternate universe might be the most normal thing ever to happen in a Metal Gear game. More crucially, Metal Gear Survive is not a canon title, so it’s not contributing to the well-documented plot that the previous Metal Gear games have set up. Humanoid husks who creep slowly, or even quickly, through a world with the intention of eating brains are zombies. Like many games which try to dress up zombies as not-zombies, they’re called ‘creatures’ here. It’s an online squad-based adventure game where you kill zombies, essentially. Metal Gear Survive, the first without the participation of auteur Hideo Kojima – and the first after a very public fallout with Konami, the developers behind the rest of the series – comes out tomorrow. Each of the games has become a classic of its era. Mainly that the games are really good, with era-defining graphics and deep, well thought-through gameplay.
The Metal Gear series is one of the most famous video game series for a reason. The series has been around for an incredible 31 years – and oh boy, the things we’ve seen.
The latest addition to the Metal Gear series, the non-canon zombie game Metal Gear Survive, is out tomorrow.
