The Metal Gear Solid series

I wonder if there's anything left of it...




MGS
Concept-video of Metal Gear Solid: Metal Gear Solid - Early Production Demo (1996)
Metal Gear Solid trailer (E3 1997). The epic, memorable trailer. Can you spot all of the differences?

MGS2
Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty - Early Production Demo (2000)
The E3 2000 trailer. I fondly remember being stunned by the screenshots in EDGE.
ECTS 2000. Almost the same as the E3 trailer. No subtitles, different ending of trailer

MGS3
First steps in the direction of MGS 3
Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater trailer (E3 2003). Some footage of this can still be seen in the game's actual pre-credit video

 

A beta of MGS would be a real gem to find, here's hoping one day something surfaces.

 

Judging from the video it looks all pre-rendered? I could be wrong but none of it screams in-game to me...

I know there was a brief point where it was going to be on the N64 but development quickly switched to the PS1.

 

Don't you mean the 3do? I don't remember the game being developed at any point for the N64.

 

I have an old demo of MGS that featured a slightly earlier helipad/tank hangar [I picked this up from NY in '98] ... there's also a video on youtube somewhere featuring beta items from MGS3

Yes, the concept video (1996) definitely is, but the E3 trailer (1997) is in-game. Also, the two screens I posted are in-game, and are in a very early development stage (probably from the end of 1996)... ;-)

 

More footage from MGS:

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

 

It seems to only be a rumor; I think they were unintentionally referring to Hybrid Heaven.

Not saying that it's impossible, just that I don't recall Konami or Kojima ever directly confirming development on the N64.

Also beta codec Snake creeps me out a little (5:35):

 

Great article, Very intresting, I wish MGS2 production demo would leak!

 

What are sources for first two pictures in this thread?

I googled this images and found this and this.

There isnt main source

 

Interesting to note though the two images appear to be from two different stages of development.

 

I remember the rumours at the time ... I feel it somehow eventually became Slicon Knights' 'MGS: Twin Snakes' on the GC

 

Found it by complete accident. I believe the pictures were linked on a site which contained the PC Demo. LOL

Thanks for the links.

I believe so, yeah. There seems to have happend a lot in a very short period of time.

And thanks Prometheus, for the video.

 

I've never heard this before. Sounds strange.

 

Wow. Very nice. Thanks man!

 

No problem. I found out that unused song was used during the intro elevator scene in the MGS pilot disc. Also that odd looking codec Snake was actually used in the pilot version, as well another codec face while wearing the scuba gear.

It's only a very tiny snippet and being captured from a camera on a TV screen but look at the 01:27 mark,.Very early, barely completed MGS2 prototype?!

What's the clip from?, it's the first i've seen of it

 

I'm not positive so don't quote me on it, but I think the original footage is from The Document of MGS2. I vaguely remember seeing alpha footage of MGS2 while watching one of the extras.

 

TGS 2013 Mission; a no-brainer!

On a side-note: I am getting a PS4, just for this game.
