Metal Gear Solid Beta [PSX Making Of + Kojima Interview]

[SammEater]

I wish most of this stuff was in the final version, but its cool to see that most of the thing he do in this beta are on the sequels. :D

Also, one of the best games I played. :P

[Cwervy]

My fave is the 3rd but this game is great.

[Celloboymj]

wow, it looks like a lot of the ideas in the beta version that were not added in mgs1 were put in later games like running while crouched, (now in mgs4) *punch* *punch* *jump kick* (in mgs2) and the "flinch system" (in mgs1, when you get shot or damaged, you flinch once, then blink with invincibility for a few seconds be4 you can be shot again. In mgs3 and 4, every time you're shot, you take damage more realistically without the crazy flinch blink invnsibility; you see this in beta mgs1 @ 1:30)

[filipeflower]

Is there a full version of this ?

[BigBoss1292]

i wish i could play the game in that early development stage so bad

[mechaart]

screw graphics, MGS1 anyday.

my fave of the series.

[PhatFishNL]

I've seen a beta of MGS go on ebay in 2006/2007 - I had the chance to buy it but I was more interested in another PC beta the guy had for sale. IIRC it went for around $100 to a chinese guy. I wish I bough it...

[wyatt190]

WOW why was this not the final game in the cutscenes they had faces

[DXSnakeEater]

Somebody should count how many times Hideo says "Eh" in this whole video.

[SkoderLive]

Damn why wasn't this translated into english.

[DanieleBosi]

0:12 3D CG FMVs my ass

Anyway Metal Gear Solid Beta looks better than the final version, I wish try it one time in my life, Metal Gear Solid 1 is still one of my favourite games ever (And the best of the series in my opinion)

[Ironmaiden654]

i wouldve liked to play this version of mgs

[whaowman]

00:39

realtime shadow in a psx game... HOLY SHIT!

[MexicanSeadude]

i wish this beta would leak, alot of differences

[Thestarwarsmovies]

omg the first map is whole difirent than the original, also there are some other maps i've never seen before!!

[TheYTChronicles]

I'm so freaking dumb. It took me until 2 minutes in to realise he was speaking japanese and that there are no subtitles. I was just sitting here listening.

[metalgearftw1]

Damn! 9000 rounds on socom

[elpetrocapo]

In metal gear solid beta version who needs stealth when you have 9999 BULLETS ON EVERY WEAPON??¡¡

[KoolSpeed]

why did they take out the cutscenes?

[blackhawk65589]

beta

[benny1000000]

wow i love this game the beta is amazing

[Gesreg]

Why the hell are the betas all the time the best ?

[erendux]

look like interesting but i dont understand please someone translate english and reupload this video off course english subbed vers. i guess everybody be happy likely

[WTFOMGBBQt4]

Seriously in some aspects the beta version looks better.

[dudeWTF7896]

Whoa Metal Gear Solid came a long way!!! Still, I would kill to play the Pre-game...just for kicks

[TheSpoonyBard1]

Guessing its impossible to get your hands on the beta now? XD

[greciasoleble]

whoa Hideo was young but talented

[daniel1982]

@greciasoleble Yeah, he reminds me of yoor mom.

[gmobb142]

the best game ever created period

[greciasoleble]

definitely true, best game on history

[lb8068]

@gmobb142 Is it wrong that I enjoyed MGS2 more?

[slalomluke]

Looks pretty graphically impressive for the beta. I kinda doubt they're actually running it on a psx though.

[michaeldmendes]

kojimas the dude lol

[s2lols2]

Kojima at te end looks like Keanuu Reeves in Matrix 1.

[XlovesXtoXspoogeX]

yea, but crossed with the Keymaster

XD

[KomodoSkull]

But if you think about it,

This is an Excellent Game for PS!!!!!!

[coolkid602006]

I wish this beta would've been leaked. Everything looks blockier but clearer.

[damez7]

lol Kojima looks so nerdy at the end of the video, he's switched his style up these days :D

[MexicanSeadude]

Does anyone notice a forklift moving in the helipad part where snake is looking around

[cfjackson123]

I was just thinking that.

[breakdancerjj]

the original is one is better coz its the first one its ace

[joseaca]

ok this videos was recorded in 1997(?) so why that song is not present in mgs1?

[mikeroephonics]

The song was released on the 'Metal Gear Solid Original Game Soundtrack' in 1997.

[sockatume]

You can get that song on the end credits if you finish the game with the tuxedo and red Ninja costumes. It was specially written for the trailer.

[joseaca]

thatd be the 3rd playthrough right?

[sockatume]

Yes, you might have to get both the Meryl ending and the Otacon ending in your first and second playthroughs though.

[joseaca]

hey i just did that

i think ill play this amazing game one more time

[silenceofthehills]

Hey I realised that he did the MGS2 kick there with the two gaurds.

I think this is the only ps1 game to have spotlights that good. Looks almost like multi texture projected texturing. Nice tricks they used there to get it on walls and what not.

[aschthebl00dy]

well as an easy answer yes its very different the health bar is plaed in another spot alert mode is different the fa-mas holds more bullets in the final version other then that i dont notice anything different

[rustyrockers]

ijust wanted to know from all the true metal gear solid fans does this beta look better than the original

[WithLuvAnon]

Looks the same except hacked amounts of ammo and minute GUI changes

[zeekee]

camera angles are also different..

[parag3247]

wats the diffferance between the beta and the original

[zeekee]

the movements of the beta are more like MGS2..

[parag3247]

hmm......i never heard of it...is it for ps1

[XvXPHANTOMXvX]

id like to play the beta

[filipeflower]

OKay, I just looked again and no, it's not an illusion. But even so, for some reason, they changed his final kick.

[MexicanSeadude]

their is a possibility the MK II was in the beta (yes i said that) during a one of the beta trailers pause it when snake is equipping the "scope" and you will see an item called "MG MK2"

this is one beta ive always wanted to play

[filipeflower]

Are you sure you read it well?

[KazuoKiriyama666]

Yeah, there was definitely a MKII, there is some very rare artwork of Meryl with MKII by her side. And I also saw Snake skip past the "MKII" in the items screen during some beta footage, you have to look REAL close to see it though. I guess it was one of those things Kojima couldn't fit into the final build, or implement properly with the PSX technology. In fact, the later MGS titles incorporate a lot of stuff Kojima wanted to do all the way back with MGS1!

[KazuoKiriyama666]

To think that MKII was originally going to be MGS1, I wonder what use he would have been during the game and who exactly created it? It wouldn't have been Otacon, since Snake seemed to have the item BEFORE he meets Otacon, so I'm guessing it was created by Mei Ling originally. Can't wait for Project S (lots of media based around one of Kojima's other masterpieces; Snatcher)

[filipeflower]

I guess it was because of Metal Gear's apperance in the game Snatcher.

[zeldaocarinaoftime2]

snakes kick spin move???????????????

[Raverque]

I loved that they had the old health bar down in the screen! Just like in the MSX ones! :)

[FusionArmorX]

Hey! Snake's third attack in his melee combo was changed as well. If you didn't catch it, it's the kick he has in MGS2\Twin Snakes!

[filipeflower]

We can't see very well with those Heavily Armed Troopers in front, so maybe it was an illusion.

[NarutoGuyNo1]

wtf is the psx version ?

[Forsakenuk]

psx is basically the ps1

[filipeflower]

That's not what he asked.

[xXLegacyx]

no story or voice acting even comes close to the MGS series

[NarutoGuyNo1]

1.48 onwards u can see him crouch wkilst walking 0_0 something he hasent been able to do until the 4th game now lolz :O

[Slashcutwristz]

This is the PSX version, not the final one.

[girlsdrinkfeck]

game was good , but games like goldeneye 007 was superior

[wardogmobius]

whatt???????? you are so lame coming up with that game...you could have said FF7 ...but goldeneye...thats lame..

[girlsdrinkfeck]

goldeneye 007 prob was on the same mark as FF7 , even tho i dont like final fantasy ,seems people like them both equally , but goldeneye was far superiopr in graphics than final fantasy , but thats obviously cas its on a 64bit machine

[CitanKainUzuki]

MGS1, FFVII and GE are all excellent games.

[portuguesehulkamania]

graphics aren't what makes games better... goldeney 007 was obviously much worse than ff7 and mgs... you're an ignorant bastard

[girlsdrinkfeck]

worse in what way ? the gameplay and graphics were both superior on 007, since the n64 was such more powerful and goldeneye was the first game of its kind on a console

[picklemnstr11]

wow when i was 2 i played the demo.man time flys by

[123JOSEBA123]

los mejores juegos metal gear final fantasy y the legend of the draggons

[Oddity00]

Needs English subtitles 'cause I don't know what Hideo is saying

[Jesssser]

You can hear him say 3-D and polgon quite often.

[portuguesehulkamania]

"sree dee porygons"lol

[DictatorCarlos12]

I still have my copy of MGS lol

[coolstuff2003ad]

The trailer of this looks better than the actual game during gameplay. No offence to the game, but up close esp. when you go into the 1st person view mode, everything looks like it's made up of tiny squares.

[filipeflower]

Every graphics, regardless of their quality, are made of tiny pixels (which is what you call "squares"), so cut your cr@p.

[sk8terchristian]

wow coolstuff2003ad please don't tell me ur an adult because man only little kids (who don't know of pixels, because there are smart kids who do know) don't know aobut that. lol.

[coolstuff2003ad]

goo goo ga ga

[mannyichi]

!!!

[StealthKnife]

ya wow 20 years later and now...

[giancarlo123x]

i noticed that you can walk from side to side while locked on.

[sneakMGS]

Sin duda, el mejor juego de la historia

[theVirandaRoom]

I liked how you could run while shooting.

[metalgearsolid4life]

yeah that was left in you know! it's still in the finshed product!

[RushEloc]

I like how the FAMAS had like, 9000 rounds.

[dookerofthefield]

wAT the remake made it sukey in ways then daaaam 9000!!!

[galgor]

liking the footage!  the beta mgs stuff is always cool

[baba1993]

what the hell is this ?? :S

[RushEloc]

Pork and bacon. Also, Spam.

[mikoyyuy]

*TEEEEEAAAARRRRRRRSSSSSS*

[omegaweaponredux]

metal gear rex ocelot and gray fox look a whole lot better in the beta version ....maybe the oringal plan was to use FMV for cutsences ? ...and anyone else notice the moving forklift in the back gorung ...awesome this version may have been even better...

[benjamimmy]

hey, where can you see the ocelot and gray fox?

[DonMasakoni]

kein problem, mrupload

[DonMasakoni]

ich muss gerade kaggen

[MrUpload]

danke für diesen sinnvollen post

[radornkeldam]

this is when kojima still wasn't a fucking playboy and a retard. or maybe he just didn't show it.

[Jesssser]

How is he a retard and a playboy? He is one of the greatest storytellers of our time.

[iamstillhiro1112]

This game is a classic. (Tear)

[Sonicku]
