I used to play this game every year around Christmas since that's where the game took place. Now I just watch these videos as my tradition since I'm too lazy to plug in my Sega CD.
Best game of all time. Second place goes to policenauts. It's almost the same game. At least gameplay wise, and the English tranlation has finally been finished. Anybody who wants to know more just ask. Kojima give us another one like this. Better yet, start writing some screenplays.
well Snatcher and the Metal Gear Solid series were made by Hideo Kojima. But did you knwo that the first Metal Gear games were not actually conceived by Hideo Kojima? Only the Metal Gear Solid games.
The first 2 Metal Gear games on the msx2 were in fact conceived by Hideo Kojima, and so were the Metal Gear Solid games that started after Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake on the msx2!
In Metal Gear Solid 4, the Metal Gear Mark 2 that Otacon made was based off of the design of Metal Gear REX from the original Metal Gear Solid while the Metal Gear Mark 2 in this game was made based off the design of Metal Gear TX-55 from the original Metal Gear on the MSX that was released in 1987.
haha m g mk 2 comes out and the play a twisted form of theme of tara i wonder if the mention snake in this to sence metal gear appears to have happend on the snatcher timeline
it don't get much deader than where it's at now. whats it been 20 yrs since it came out? Sequal. I wanna know what happended next. Remakes are always crappy.
I would like spin off title, where you get to play as Random Hajile instead. That would be better, since you would get to see the storyline from a new perspective.
Plus the ending was a bit ambiguous, with Gillian going to the 'Snatcher base'. MGS1 ended things quite neatly, but they still made sequels to that, due to the success. If Snatcher had the same level of success, we would have had a sequel
What drives this game over other games nowadays is its unique cyberpunk atmosphere (and it gets it JUST RIGHT), great cast of characters, brilliant storyline, intense musical score, fantastic English translation and a satisfying ending. This was Kojima at his storytelling peak, in my opinion.
MGS and Snatchers storylines aren't connected, the Metal Gear MkII in this game has nothing to do with the one from MGS4, Otacon doesn't even exist in the world of Snatcher.
I never said Otacon was in Metal Gear, what the hell are you talking about?
Oh, I see. YouTube only let me see part of the conversation. I thought you were implying that Metal Gear Solid was the first game of the series. Don't blame me for YouTube's faults in it's commenting system.
omg, so THIS is where that cartoon picture of the MK II comes from in that mgs4 flashback...

Screenplays? Not sure on that idea, Kojima works with literally huge scripts, to cut his work down into manageable movies would be tragic.

NO. A remake yes, but a sequel? No, that would likely kill it. Snatcher managed to answer every single question by the end so neatly.

You make the fact that it's dead sound like a bad thing. Anything else would ruin it's legacy. It stands on it's own.
