Kojima = Amateur (overall)...If you gave me a stage for 30 hours I'm sure I could show some amazing acting\script skills...most of it would be rubbish with maybe a few mins of something interesting.....?Surprised he hasn't been sued for it.

I guess Kojima's taste in American badass characters and ours are just different. He used Snake Plissken because he was impressed by him. Just count yourself and all gamers lucky that Kojima didn't find Steven Seagal or Van Damme impressive. lol

Lol

True. Because then Snake would have had to do full straddle splits at least once in every MG game ever made.

Fun fact: Old Snake is loosely based upon actor Lee Van Cleef.

Old actor, so for those who aren't familiar with the name, he had two co-starring roles in Sergio Aragones' spaghetti Westerns with Clint Eastwood. And he played a ninja master in a TV show creatively titled "The Master."

And of course, Lee Van Cleef was also in Escape from New York as Hauk, the police commissioner who "recruits" Snake.

 



Kojima is a huge film fan... I thought everone knew that? Big Boss in the first two Metal Gears resembles Sean Connery, too. And you know Harry Gregson-Williams, the composer of the series? Kojima found him by watching movies. I'm sure there's other things too but those are the ones I could get on my mind right now.

Kojima bases some of his names and titles off movies that inspired him

 

but ..... this movie .. for a famous game ??!!! sad thing :(


 

It's not the movie, but the character. Escape From NY and MG couldn't be more different as stories unless they made Escape From NY a romantic comedy. Kojima pays homage to many different movies and books in his games as do many other game makers. Did you know some of the dialogue from COD4 was lifted , word for word, for the some of the dev's favorite movies as a homage ?

but .... this guy >>>

is SNAKE ??!! comon he didnt found better character ?

 

A better character than Snake Plissken????

There are no better characters than Snake Plissken!

This sure sounds like it has gone well beyond "being inspired" and right into theft.

If you want to find quite a lot of Snake Plissken (but not the eyepatch), you must look at Duke Nukem. In DN3D there's even an audio track called "Snake", IIRC.
