20 Years Of Metal Gear!

Guugley | July 24, 2007 | News | Playstation 3

Snake - and the whole Metal Gear game - has been with us for 20 years, so Konami "is announcing plans to ring in Snake's 20th year with style".
"Let's see what the Colonel has up his sleeve this time …"

Twenty years ago, a bandana-rocking badass stepped onto the Nintendo Entertainment System and went to work on bringing down some bad guys at Outer Heaven. His name was Snake, and the videogame world would bow to his presence.

Well, they eventually would. After a couple sequels, Snake receded into the background of gaming culture. While the world moved on, Snake rested. Snake waited.

In 1998, Metal Gear Solid shipped for the PlayStation and turned the industry on its head. Sequels followed, fans turned out in droves and the familiar ring of an incoming Codec call became synonymous with excitement and excellent gameplay.

Tonight, Konami is announcing plans to ring in Snake's 20th year with style. As the announcements and news come streaming out of Japan, IGN will be there -- and if you keep refreshing this page, you'll be there too.

Let's see what the Colonel has up his sleeve this time …

I'm going to miss this series...the longer the wait for the game the better for me, because by the time I get it, I'll play it for hours...and before you know it, it'll all be over

Congratulations Metal Gear on your 20th Anniversary !
^{So much new information and content was released that its hard to keep it all down ^^

Even though this is the last game in the main Metal Gear Series, I'm sure they'll release some spin-offs in the future - game's companies always do if they have an immensely popular game. We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed}
