  • I miss these cheesey but brilliant type of adverts.

  • 1 guy that can potray and act in MGS movie is Kurt Russell...remember Escape From NY?

  • Commercial's plot makes more sense than the in-game plot.

  • @bitpym

    Oh please, MGS1 has a great plot.

  • @Usul573 Who said it wasn't great? I'm just saying it didn't make any sense.

  • @bitpym

    What didn't make sense?

    MGS2 got more into the insane babbling, MGS1 made sense. Within the universe at least.

  • @Usul573 Getting into 10+ minute discussions when you're on a time sensitive mission to save the world doesn't make sense. Being all friendly with every supervillain who just tried to kill you doesn't make sense. Granted, MGS 1's plot is fairly sane compared to the rest of the MGS games.

  • @bitpym Well, Solid Snake used to be involved with all the bosses. He was fighting in Big Boss' team, if I remember correctly, along with all the others. He saw no reason to fight them and was trying to get information from them. Oh, btw: Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.

  • To think this lame commercial got me to ask my parents to buy me this game for Christmas... TURNS OUT THE GAME WAS AMAZING!

  • My favorite game of all time!

  • Comment removed

  • The ad is so funny! I wish that I did that kind of training

  • I miss the 90s, when everything was lighthearted and videogame commercials weren't afraid to convey the FUN in a GAME rather than today where everything has to be dark/gritty/serious/drama/REAL­ISM all the fucking time oh my God take me baccccccckkkkkkkkkkk

  • @lowfiwhiteguy You mean you don't like games about serious people saying serious things about serious events in a serious universe?

  • Colonel Campbell is an awesome trainer. If you can solve the block puzzle, jump over a cone, pose correctly, you are Solid Snake.

  • lol, kojima and his jokes, he always put something like jokes or funny things in the games or tv comercials... lol

  • che cagataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaa

  • The memories.  This takes me back.

  • Suicide mission, my ass. xP

  • One of the greatest games ever created. It still blows me away to this day.

  • The part with the guy tapping his head and rubbing his stomach cracked me the hell up.

  • Why are video game commercials always this stupid and not telling you anything about the game? Aren't they supposed to make people buy the game, who don't know it yet?

  • @XtremoZS see my friend this is when game company's were actually putting amazing games out and every game didn't have a commercial so when you seen one with a commercial it was big shit that alone made you wanna buy it plus back then ppl really didn't want to know nothing about the game other then the genre because it would ruin it for us like now ppl usually see the whole game on the net before the game is even released in the states

  • lol, I remember seeing this a looooooooooooong time ago, and it's still funny! XD

  • this game is a masterpiece of my childhood!

  • Comment removed

  • GREATEST SERIES EVER. PERIOD.

  • Solid Snake preps up before infiltrating Outer Heaven.

  • I can still remember the christmas where i got Metal Gear Solid and Zelda OoT...Talk about having a complete meltdown in my social life for at least a month.

  • I fucking miss the 90's fuck

  • i was an N64 fanatic (mainly Goldeneye), but i remember i was in 8th grade, and played this demo at Target....i got a playstation and Metal Gear for Christmas that year lol.

  • That's what I call a good Ad!!

  • Yes, because I trust this dude with not only the fate of a nuke, but also killing a psychopath bent on showing me his psychokenesis...

    we're screwed

  • prestashoong

  • Metal Gear Wilhelm @ 0:27

  • and that guy was like... ! xD

  • I just wished that they made MGS3, so that you could pick up your enemies weapons. OSP(On-Site Procedure) right? So why cant i knock a soldier and take is AK? Still a good game, but just a mechanic i wanted to know

  • @TheMrAsianSantaClaus they were id locked

  • @JINXSHINE MGS3 was in the 60s, before nanomachines and ID Locked weapons.

  • wow, how come i've never seen this commercial!?! lmao

  • So that's how they trained Snake

  • SNAAAAAAAKE!

  • Fuck. I Cant pass the 1st test. Its too hard.

  • FOX-HOUND Secret Trening :D

  • I didn't realise it said "PLAY-STATION!" Back then! woo!

  • that was an awesome punch line

  • Wow. I forgot how stupid commercials in the 90s were. When everything had to make you feel like when you played the game, you were some doofus playing a video game, and not just enjoying something, or experiencing a work of digital art. This commercial is so completely (and intentionally) the opposite of the theme and tone of the MGS series. Its a blatant and unfunny parody of the series. Why did commercials back then seem to have to make fun of, and belittle the game they were trying to sell?

  • @ Gileum

    Well they did end up making a second MGS commercial after its financial success that was a little more classy

  • @Shoe3003 I haven't seen it. I'm glad they did i guess. Even so, I remember every commercial as a child pretty much being like this. "in your face" and telling you how fucking stupid you are for being bad at something you havent done/played yet, or for how stupid you are for actually doing it.

  • rocbolt has the second commercial on his channel if you haven't seen it

  • @Shoe3003 cool beans

  • lol the same "PLEYSTAYSHAWN" thing is still being used today. =D

  • What are these people arguing about? metal gear series is and always will be a classic, even if the commercials had been shit it already had a pretty huge fan base by the time it made the jump to the Playstation.

  • anyone on who thinks that game commercials should be serious probably plays too many games and has no girl, and if they do then shes likely to be lame herself. Fun Fact: Never seen a gamer with an athletic, creative, funny, smart, pretty girl. if they have one shes always slouching, talks slow like the life has been sucked out of her and pale as fuck. lol no disrespect to ladies.

  • i didnt mind the humor they shouldve had more clips with in game action to make up for it though

  • I hate this tv spot...It clearly underestimates what Metal Gear Solid is all about.

  • do americans really think that theyre funny...you take all the badass-ness outta of every game u guys make trailers for

  • @Ironmaiden654 This was from 12 years ago... Don't worry, the gaming industry takes itself much more seriously now-a-days.

  • You better be a chick after all that complaining you just did. And to answer your question, NO we didn't take the "badass-ness outta of every game" we made trailers for. Games like Metal Gear Solid, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Spyro the Dragon, WWF Smack Down: Know Your Role were all bad ass. Hell, Sony even took a jab at Nitendo with that Crash Bandicoot trailer. The games sold well and have been cited as some of the best games in history. I think these trailers had a part to play in that.

    Douche.

  • @NevyNevJr you guys are still a fucking disgrace to the world, so have fun living in the most hated country of the world you fucking prick

  • @Ironmaiden654 that would be afghanistan,, runner up is U>S>A

  • @Ironmaiden654 Yeah sure. We're the most hated country in the world. Yet, for some strange reason, we JUST so happen to recieve the most imigrants from ALL OVER the world. What could it be? Hmm...Let me think about that for a second. I don't know. Could it be our first amendmant? Or maybe is it because we are "the land of opportunity". Oh wait, I know. It's because we can get and recieve financial aid in our school systems. No wonder were the most hated country in the world, pure JEALOUSY.

  • @Ironmaiden654 ...its from 1998 dude...they would of course joke about it because not many people took game commercials seriously..so what if they add a little humor? atleast they make up for it when it became a bigger francise...(typo)...Don't hate me, I'm the canadian guy :\

  • I think commercials are what turns me off about modern games now a days. During this time, they incorporated humor, almost as if they were parodying the very game they were promoting. Games like "Super Smash Bros" "WWF Smack Down 1 & 2" "Crash Bandicoot" "Spyro The Dragon" had some hilarious commercials. Now it's all about the graphics :/

  • @NevyNevJr I loved the smah bros commercial where they're playing the friendly music then yoshi trips mario

  • @RedViking75 lol yup

  • OH GEE WIZZ I HOPE A TANK DOESN'T COME OUT AT THE LAST SECOND AND OWN ME

  • isn't this what they did to snake? lol i was like 4 when this comercial aired but i remember it

  • video game commercials used to be awesome! Nintendo had a lot of good ones too

  • Wow, I clicked on this not knowing what the contents would be, but when I saw it was like "OOOHH YEEAAAA I remember this!"

  • Haha that was awesome!

  • HEYYY this trailer spoiled the plotline! How did they get away with that? It WAS a suicide mission.

  • I wish they made commercials like they used too.....

  • i miss these playstation commercials that make fun of the game. like with crash bandicoot yelling at nitendo

  • Suicide Mission? THIS TV SPOT HAS SPOILERS.

  • I like how they mentioned what the game was about

  • This is a very unfitting commercial considering how serious the storyline in the game is.

  • @orangeTadpole true actually but I still like the commercial. And btw, with some imagination you can see some funny references throughout the mgs storyline.

  • @orangeTadpole I've seen many that are made in this fashion. What disturbs me the most is the totally misplaced setting the ad conveys. Snake's not a soldier, the game is not all about blowing up and getting blown up like in the last shot derived from the Raven cutscene. And in total, there's few in game footage. It just wouldn't remind me of MGS in any way if those few cutscenes weren't there. Nice piece of nostalgia, though.

  • @ThatOneAgain To say that Snake isn't a soldier is to say the belmonts aren't vampire slayers.

  • @Time2Keeper1 Well, from a moral point of view, maybe.

  • 0:12 - 0:28

    Modern day US military training

  • Comment removed

  • Lol suicide mission. We proved them wrong big time.

  • @CrossMarian23 well it wil, kill him in the long run

  • That commercial is so accurate...Lmao XD

  • lol, little did we know at the time that this would turn out to be arguably the best game ever created - this game took the world by absolute storm in 1998 and i have yet to play a game that can rival the impact it had at the time it came out. absolutely revolutionary.

  • I remenbered this commerical! Funny thing is I didn't even remenber it was for Metal Gear Solid, maybe it was because back then I was too young to play games like those. The minute I saw the glimpses of that traniee agent doing those simple tests, I knew right away it was the same commerical I remenbered from all those years ago.

  • @EMaster2006 DUDE! Me too!

  • Lol The commercial makes you laugh and the game makes you sweat while you fighting liqued! Best game!

  • You can tell the producer of this commercial knew nothing about the game. This ad makes a complete mockery of MGS.

  • Well but it DOES kind of reflect on the fact that the mission was meant to be a suicide mission and that snake didn't know anything except the contentless"kneed-to-know basis" it is kind of a mockery. but it's a 90's commercial anyway...

  • It really doesn't have anything to do with the game, but it's pretty hilarious so whatever

  • I hate it when they down play the fact that snake had long hair when he was re-drafted for this mission.

    Oh well,

  • What a funny commercial for a serious game!

  • 3 is best

  • 4 says "hey"

  • haha what a funny comercial

  • I remember this commercial, I loved it and the game of course

  • Suicide Mission

  • OK? It's one of the greatest games ever made

  • Nowadays, commercials are MOSTLY FMVs/cutscenes. No imagination. No spark.This is why I love late 80's to late 90's video game commercials.

  • Best commercial for best game

  • Isn't this kinda easy??

    Suicide mission..

    LOL!!!!

  • Still my favorite game even to this day. Glad to own the four MGS titles.

  • so u have psx,ps2 and ps3???

  • yep, i got a Playstation(original), a PS2 & PS3. And they all still work & at a good condition. Although it's been a while since i used both of my ps & ps2 since i can play all games in PS3.

  • ..Is it any weird? >:o

  • @ThunderHenshin32 same ps1 original ps2 original recently got ps3 slim got mgs 1-3 as they came out had to get mgs1 again fron ps store coz disc1 dont work and cant find mgs4 to buy anymore but ill get it yet

  • little did we know it would become the greatest game ever my greatest game ever nothing tops mgs1 for me i love them all

  • @gmobb142 hahaha! i agree dude! Its my fav game too. and i am onley 15. but i remember this comercial

  • Suicide mission lol!

  • Sounds like the perfect job for me

  • this ad dosn even give mgs what it deserves in an ad

  • I remember this from when I was in school.

  • Training for wusses

  • -Sir,arent these kinda easy???

    -Suicide mission.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOL XD XD XD

  • ahahahahahah

  • OHH, HERRO PRAYSTAYSHAWN!!

  • preystayshawn? xDDD

  • PREYSTEAYSHAWN!

    xD

    MGS1 is the best game ever on playstation 1!

  • llol im playing this game now, its FKING AWESOME (for a PS1 game) but thats what MGS games are FKING AWESOME!

  • Oh my God, I remember seeing this on TV, too! Best game ever, thanks for posting! :)

  • mgs1 is the best game there ever was for the old ps1, i still have it and play it occasionally even though i have the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th metal gears, the first one is still just as good i say.

  • i loved that old PLAYSTATION thing at the end

    the game itself is amazing, i just had the change to finish it

  • Somehow this commercial was the reason I bought a psx 10 years ago, and I've been playing MGS ever since. I guess it was a good in a catchy way, but I think Kojima had nothing to do with this production. MGS4 intro commercials are how he would do it...

  • PLEYSTAYSHAWN

  • @nerd2max more like playstayshone

  • Why suicide? He looks like the toughest Elite-Soldier ever to me.

  • Nice sead xD

  • lolllololollllllllll

  • LOL just LOL

  • PLAI STATIAWN

  • classic lol.

  • The best action game :D. I love it! From NES to PS2 are great!!! PS3 & Xbox360 too!!! but I don't have them =(.

  • No Metal Gear Solid for 360.

    And the nes port from MSX is the worst port ever !

  • ah Sir aren't this kinda easy....Suicide Mission...Ohhh

    LOL

  • Funny spot, but Snake isn't a suicide soldier...

    P.S.: PlayStation Rocks !

  • (spoiler alert)

    Yes, but it ends up that his superiors meant for snake to die in the MGS1 mission

  • i guess you've never played MGS1

  • I played it, Snake isn't a suicide, but a spy ...

  • is a suicide... he doesn't know

  • (spoiler alert)

    but the superiors superiors didn't want him to die. having him live would have made their hypothesis complete.

  • every time I hear that I go la la la la.

    Its basically kojima retconning the shit out of his series.

  • No, it's brilliant advertising, or at least it was back in the days of N64-PSX. It got people interested in the game to the point of buying it, instead of offering depressing, cryptic hints at the storyline.

  • I didn't say the advertising was bad, I said the storyline today is fucked.

    Kojima has retconned the series with MGS4.

  • Well, that's Kojima for your. For all we know, MGS4 may not make any sense at all until MGS5 comes out...

  • Thats fine and all, but it pretty much kills everything we've been told three games ago.

  • DID JOO RIEK IT?

  • I riked it until the 2nd one, man raiden sucks ass.

    I wanted to play snake.

  • I think MGS4 fixed the Raiden problem. Best PS3 game I've played. Play MGS3 and MGS4. MGS3 is like an old school MGS1, MGS4 is in its own class... best game ever...

  • Nah...

    MGS4 is just nostalgia goggles.

    MGS3 was made to appease the fans from biting off Kojimas ass.

  • I don't know. It isn't all that bad. MGS3 is my favorite, though. I got my minor in college on Cold War politics.

  • Imo, MGS2 had a better gameplay than Snake Eater, or at least the environements in which you played were better adapted to stealth-ing, rather than standing on the ground and changing color. I also thought that it had a better story.

  • I udnerstand why you like 2 better but for some reason i like 3 a little bit better. Of course i probably like 4 best, and 3 second best but they are all really great and i love them all. I think it might be because i had played Snake Eater actually before any of the others and i just like naked snake lol

  • I agree with you that the gameplay for MGS2 is better than MGS3, because MGS2 is just like the first one, but the story in MGS2 was stupid.

  • some of wat u say is true silentloler ( by the way clever name) but MGS1 is better than MGS2 for 3 reasons 1. MGS1 had a better kick-ass storyline 2. in MGS1. you can fight a tank and have awsome sniper battles and fight a CHOPPER 3. MGS1 doesnt have a whiny gay guy like RAIDEN so gay you actually get to stay snake through the whole game and not just 15-20 mins or so ( raiden was better in MGS4 ill give him that)

  • a-men. people who say that mgs2-4 were in anyway better than mgs for playstation 1 simply have not played the original. after the first, the storyline just went to absolute crap.

  • @UnicornHead mgs 1 whas the best game awesome story everything whas awesome took me a month to finish it thats a nother reason of why its pure awesomness

  • @MetalRevolutionRadio i disagree mgs2 was awesome and altho raiden wasnt that good snake kicks ass in the cutscenes and the boss battles are the best of the mgs series

  • True...

  • @markcoggins1990 A fat man on roller skates and a gay vampire does not qualify as the best boss battles. That crown goes to the Foxhound team of MGS1.

  • @DeltaForceSFODD yeah i agree mgs1 had awesome bosses best of series and fatman was a disgrace but vamp was still a badass and the actual battles against the bosses all except fatman were brilliant

  • @DeltaForceSFODD For your info he happens to be bisexual, lol just kiddin your right mgs1 is the best.

  • yeah hey well let you play as snake for 10 percent of the game and then well let you play as raidien this guy that complains the whole game through. I didn't even try to beat that game more then once

  • What kills me most is the entire review and magazines had said nothing about Raiden.

    So when you finally get the game and got through the first act you didn't know what was going on.

    Kojima should stick to making games, games and not anime.

  • lol, best game in the world.
