My�CODEC has been ringing off the hook since my�Metal Gear Solid movie post on Monday. It seems that the Internet agrees with Hideo Kojima: they love huge walking nuclear battle tanks and extended discussions of everything around them. Given that many of those discussions took place in the comments section of my post and because talking about cool things with smart people is more than just a job to me, I've decided to respond to a couple of select points that were made.�
1.�Will it be Metal Gear or Metal Gear Solid?
This is an important question for hardcore fans, and there's a definite answer ? though not one that they'll like.�Metal Gear Solid is technically the third game in the series, but it?s the true start of the franchise. The original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and MSX Metal Gear�titles�were, um, solid stealth action games, but Metal Gear Solid�kicked the entire gaming industry in the ass. In 1998 almost everything was 3D and suddenly looked Stone Age beside
the�detailed world and sophisticated story of Solid. It's one of the most important games of all time. It's also where most modern fans got into the series, and when it comes �to movie-making brand recognition beats backstory every time.
This doesn?t mean the original games were wasted. Metal Gear Solid might be the ?middle? of the story but it didn?t strand new players. The earlier entries provided a detailed canon for the world and characters that helped give MGS a depth and heft that stunned so many gamers who were used to be told that ?Go there and shoot them!? amounted to an entire story.
Besides, if the movie is popular, prequels are bound to follow.
