For those who’ve never heard of this franchise, Metal Gear is basically a series of historical fiction action-adventure stealth video games, created by Hideo Kojima and developed and published by Konami. The first game, Metal Gear, was released in 1987 for the MSX2. The player takes control of a special forces operative Solid Snake who is assigned to find the titular superweapon “Metal Gear”, a bipedal walking tank with the ability to launch nuclear weapons. Above, we have a fan who brought this game to life. Click here to view the first image in today’s viral picture gallery.

Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D Nintendo 3DS Trailer Released

By

Set for release in Q2 2011, Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D has graphics that “look on par with (or even better than) the PlayStation 2 version of Snake Eater – developers told us prior to the debut of the 3DS that the hardware is well beyond Wii and approaching 360/PS3 capabilities with what the system can do.” Video after the break. Click here for more screenshots.

After a quick bit of acrobatics to show off the amazing depth of the 3DS system’s stereoscopic display, you hit the title screen that shows off even more stereoscopic 3D in the title itself.

Metal Gear Arcade 3D

By

Finally, Konami’s Metal Gear Arcade 3D has been revealed. What sets this arcade game apart from the others is that “you look around by swiveling your head (a camera on the bulky 3D goggles keeps track of everything), and control the movement of your character with an analog stick on your rifle.” Video after the break.

Your viewpoint in the game changes in line with the direction your head (in reality) is facing. There�s an analog stick on the gun, which allows you to move in the game independent of where you look in reality, too.

If you’re the kind of gamer who just has to unlock every last item or level in games, then this gameplay clip is just for you. It shows off some of MGS4’s secret weapons. Continue reading to watch.

We can’t figure out if any of these would benefit or hurt our ability to sneak — we’d probably just lose interest and jump in, guns blazing.

In part six of GT’s The Metal Gear Retrospective, they take a “chronological briefing of Snake tales from 1964 to 2014.” Video after the break.

But if you’re…curious as to why everyone seems to be freaking out over Metal Gear, watch this. It’s as brief a summary of the series’ convoluted (and I’m being kind) backstory as you’re going to get.
