Most of us remember Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty as a game that--at least partially--remade the first Metal Gear Solid. Just like the first game, a lone operative is sent to an enemy-controlled installation to diffuse a world-ending weapon before terrorists can unleash it upon the Unite൩d States. It even makes a direct reference to Metal Gear Solid when Raiden start🐭s running around naked while speaking with Solid Snake in the later stages of the game.
However, there’s a second analogy being made in Metal Gear Solid 2 that few would have ever suspected. According to Metal Gear Solid creator 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Hideo Kojima, it’s also a retelling of the classi🌳c tale of Pinocchio.
“Garrone, Guillermo del Toro, Zemeckis, are all working on "Pinocchio" films,” , riffing off several directors he’s eit꧟her worked with or enjoys their work. “I was also influenced by Pinocchio. Raiden, swallowed by the huge white whale of t🔯he information society, is digested in his stomach and vomited out through the anus!”
Most of us wouldn’t necessarily think of the whale scene as the main thrust of Pinocchio’s story, but Kojima clearly se﷽es it differently. One wonders exactly what part of Met﷽al Gear Solid 2 involved the metaphorical ejection through a whale’s anus (probably the Arsenal collapse, if I had to guess).
“After that, his puppet of information control cuts the strings and starts walking on his own legs. That's MGS2,” Kojima .
Kojima is quite the comedian on social media. He once tweeted out how he'd reviewed his past game trailers and found them all to be "168澳洲幸运5开奖网:well done." And then there was the completely deadpan pitch of a new game to Death Stranding star Mads Mikkelsen, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:which Mads sadly turned down.
But Kojima isn't all jokes on social media. In his recent birthday tweet, Kojima admitted that his age is catching up with him but he'll continue making games "168澳洲幸运5开奖网:until my brain loses its creative p𝔉ower." He also recently discussed 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:his love of physical media and how photo modes in games 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:can make you a better photographer.
