An overview of the development of Alloy Gear

Burning Chariot era

Alloy Gear series is divided into two generations, the first generation is the METAL GEAR era, mainly in 2D, the second generation is from the PS on the Subterranean Spy began the METAL GEAR SOLID era, although the two are in the same worldview, but exactly what the general players referred to as Alloy Gear is from the beginning of the PS, before the Generally known as Burnout or Genesis Alloy Gear.

Alloy Gear

Originally released in 1987 on the MSX platform in Japan and Europe, the first generation of Alloy Gear followed the story of Snake, a special forces soldier, as he infiltrated an out-of-this-world world to destroy the robot Metal Gear, one of the earliest games of the infiltration genre. Due to KONAMI's erroneous market estimation at the time, the first-generation Alloy Gear for the MSX was not released in the United States, and KONAMI ignored Hideo Kojima and commissioned the U.S. branch to release the so-called FC version on the NES (the U.S. version of the FC), which the U.S. team modified in order to show that the FC had a much higher level of performance than the MSX, which caused the game to lose the essence of the original version. The American team modified the game to reflect the superior performance of the FC compared to the MSX, but the game lost the essence of the original version, and the final boss was changed from a Metal Gear to a vulgar so-called "computer that controls the MG". Hideo Kojima has protested this behavior many times, and has called the FC version of Alloy Gear unorthodox, and even considered it to be a piece of utter garbage. This behavior led to KONAMI's ire, which led to the "sequel debate."

Soled Snake

KONAMI had its American production staff work on the FC version of Alloy Gear's ending, Snake's Revenge, alone, adding a top-down view to the original. The original top-down view added side-scrolling scenes. Hideo Kojima was adamantly opposed to this version, which was not released in Japanese, and out of his dissatisfaction with Snake's Revenge, Hideo Kojima created Alloy Gear 2 for the MSX2, which was initially released on the MSX2 platform in Japan in 1990. .. It follows Snake as he travels to the small Central Asian country of Zanzibar land to rescue a kidnapped biologist. The story starts to get confusing with the major improvements to the enemy AI in this game. This game officially introduces Solid Snake, the first appearance of Solid Snake in Subterranean Spy, and creates the story line of the existing Alloy Gear-Subterranean Spy series.

Submarine Dungeons & Dragons

In the mid-1990s, the introduction of the next-generation console Playstation marked the entry of TV games into the three-dimensional era, and also made it possible to perform TV games in cinematic form. At this time, Hideo Kojima, who had completed Metal Gear for several years, decided to make a three-dimensional game that could be performed like a movie, and Hideo Kojima rooted for the original METAL GEAR plot to expand and improve, and established "Snake" as the protagonist of the game. "The Metal Gear Solid series was born

Metal Gear Solid

Game Synopsis

The game is based on the story and action of Hideo Kojima.

The story and action surpasses the first two proper sequels and is considered the supreme masterpiece in the history of the Alloy Gear ("MGS") series, but is criticized by most gamers when it comes to perspective. The movie-like action with scenes and characters has very high praise. The new "Survival System" has been added to this game, as well as the core system of the game. Players can see the physical condition of their characters and eat freshly caught food (which will decay over time with the PS2 system), but some gamers have criticized this feature as "very annoying", while others have praised it. The game's CQC (Close Quarters Combat) skills are realistically demonstrated, as if it were a real infiltration, and the theme of "survival in the wild" is expressively brought to life. Alloy Gear
