It is remarkable to see what impression the first Metal Gear Solid on the Playstation has ever made for me. Although published Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3, in recent years, but during the installation procedure of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, my thoughts wandered off to MGS mainly on the old gray Playstation. If yesterday I remember the fight with Revolver Ocelot, the sniper duel with Sniper Wolf, and how I hid behind the benches in the office of Psycho Manthis. That final confrontation actually supposed to stand as a classic in the books if only because of the trick where you had to stop at the second gate. The Playstation controller
Metal Gear Solid 4 is full of references to the story that followed. In the previous games You can play MGS 4 or if you do not know the previous games, but that makes the story a lot less interesting. And that's a shame, because the story is one of the most important aspects that Hideo Kojima, the creator of Metal Gear Solid, the series has given its strength. Therefore, especially for those who really have no idea what it's about, first a brief summary of the Metal Gear story so far.
Metal Gear Solid (1999)
* Metal Gear
Central figure in the Metal Gear series is Solid Snake. Solid is artificially 'conceived', thanks to a topsoldaat called Big Boss. To prevent the perfect genes of Big Boss in enemy hands fall, the U.S. government has ever made sure that he could not reproduce. However, three clones are made of DNA samples. A clone was all dominant genes (Liquid Snake), another got the recessive genes (Solid Snake) and number three was a one-to-eenkopie Big Boss (Solidus Snake). The latter clone was under a different name, President of the United States. However, he was also a member of the criminal organization Cell Death, and was killed in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. Solidus' adopted son Raiden is the main character in that game.
Liquid and Solid grew into opposites, which mainly Liquid stood on the side of "evil". This was best reflected in Metal Gear Solid, where Solid Liquid prevented the massive current tank Metal Gear REX would steal. Liquid seems to die at the end of MGS, but he returns in the body of Revolver Ocelot. The character in which the body of Ocelot is combined with the spirit of Liquid Snake's since been through life as Liquid Ocelot.
* Confusion
Except Liquid Solid Snake another arch-enemy: Big Boss himself. In the first game of the game series Solid discovered that Big Boss is playing a central role in a criminal conspiracy, it has provided on Metal Gear TX-55 prototype. He seems to kill him, but Big Boss returns in Metal Gear 2, which are published for the first Metal Gear Solid game. Not least in chronological terms - it even beats Solid his father, who then will not return. In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Big Boss While playing the lead role, but this game is set in the 60s of the 20th century. Created some confusion around the release of MGS 3 Solid as a clone of Big Boss is so much like him. There was some doubt about who the protagonist was: Big Boss and Solid Snake. This was reinforced by Big Boss in the game was provided codenamed Naked Snake.
And now the step to Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. While Solid Snake by accelerated aging with health suffers, he is put to work by his former client, former Colonel Roy Campbell. He must go to the Middle East, where Liquid Ocelot is signaled. This in a world where everything is overshadowed by the power of The Patriots, an AI system that seeks total control.
