Metal Gear Solid 2: The Trailer ( Konami Japan ) - E3 2000 Documentary 2 of 3

To commemorate Hideo Kojima in his next twist of the MGS series just announced - Metal Gear Solid: Rising & Peace Walker ( the true sequel ) as well as E3 2009 returning to the Los Angeles Convention Center in a very BIG way. I bring you a flashback... E3 2000 documentary of Metal Gear Solid 2: Son of Liberty (now available around the globe ) for the Sony Playstation 2.

"Metal Gear Solid 2: The Trailer"
was a DVD Konami Japan published and sold on their website.
I wouldn't have known Konami published this hadn't someone at my job
recognized me in a segment of the documentary ^_^ The following year i'd attend E3 2001 where i'd run into Hideo Kojima while roaming the Nintendo booth. I happened to bring a few items to get signed. One of them was the "MGS2: The Trailer" :

NES wasnt the kojima origional >_>

[Grooveraider]

@AaronAMM - Metal Gear on the NES was still his game. Its just that Mr. Kojima didn't oversee the NES port of the game . Sure as we learn later - the MSX version was the original and way better. I won't even get into Snake's Revenge ( so awful ). You had to have been living during the time Metal Gear released on the NES in 1987. It was an incredible game despite the shortcomings. America never had anything like to compare Metal Gear to at the time. I still stand by my words in the video ^_^

That e3 was popping for real

Blurry textures? Lol, wow, now THAT'S ironic you say that considering you could barely make out what's on the back of Ryo Hazuki's jacket.. actually, shit, I still don't know.

And nobody foresaw the monumental impact GTA3 had on the industry, it was continuously swept under the rug until release and had to take off the old-school way, word of mouth, just like COD4 did which turned the franchise into the juggernaut it is today.

I wish E3 had of been this exciting....

It's been 11 years. I wonder where these people are now.

amazing trailer.

And little did they know about the existence of a certain character who had middle-length white hair. :v

Around ten years ago, I bought this trailer in VHS form (with a copy of IGN I think) and it previewed other Konami games such as Zone of the Enders, I've been loving the music ever since.

8:50 Chewbaka? O.o

Grooveraider, you're so lucky.. When I was a kid, I remember reading about this event in a PSM, as the writers did a step by step analysis of this very trailer. I was a humongous Metal Gear fan and I would try to imagine the trailer in motion, and what it was like to experience the trailer at E3 firsthand. Nice!!

@Shadowlayer I wasn't contributing to the argument all that much really, I was just saying that the game looked amazing for its time and that it has even now aged quite nicely, while Shemue, though good looking at the time, and by all means hasn't aged terribly, doesn't stand up to the quality of MGS2 as a game or graphical medium, I was saying nothing about GTA in any way though I suppose I never specified that, my comment was directed to your comment on MGS2's "Blurry textures".
