The original Metal Gear has celebrated its 37th anniversary.
Famed video game director Hideo Kojima has recently reflected on Metal Gear and what he believes is the game's"biggest invention." Believe it or not, the original Metal Gear recently celebrated its 37th anniversary as the game launched on MSX2 in Japan in July of 1987. It went on to be the first game in a much larger saga that Kojima worked on up until 2015 when he departed from Konami.
In a series of posts on X, Kojima took time to look back at Metal Gear and what it meant at the time. Kojima noted that he was only 23 years old when the game launched, which is quite an impressive achievement. He went on to say that Metal Gear's radio transceiver ended up being pivotal when it comes to storytelling in games.
"Metal Gear was packed with things that were ahead of its time, but the biggest invention was including the concept of a radio transceiver in the storytelling," Kojima said."Moreover, it was interactive, allowing you to send and receive comms. The game moves along with the player, so when the drama happens when the player isn't present , the player's feelings get detached.
Meanwhile, the Metal Gear franchise continues to be worked on at Konami without its famed creator. Specifically, a new remake of the third Metal Gear Solid entry titled Metal Gear Delta: Snake Eater is in the works and is expected to launch at some point in 2025.
