Ah, thanks for the hesitant to spoil. ;) Beat the game...amazing ending! Now I need to play MGS1-3. I wonder why I waited til Ac!d and ops to get into Metal Gear...

They've recently re-issued MGS1-3 at a $30 price with new packaging/artwork. It was $25 on Amazon. I ordered it even though I have my original copies of MGS 1-3. It supposedly has MGS2 Substance and MGS3 Subsistence which is partly why I bought them again.

When you get to MGS3, I highly recommend the Subsistence version as it fixes the one major flaw of Snake Eater; the fixed camera angle. I never finished the game as much as I wanted to follow the story, simply because I found the fixed angle too constraining. I'll give it another shot with Subsistence once it's delivered since I still haven't seen all the story scenes, which to me are half of the reason to play MGS.

You might want to consider hunting down a copy of MGS Twin Snakes on the GC as opposed to playing the original PS1 version. Again, I'll play through for the story, but the visuals have really aged horrendously. Twin Snakes is the same story, but with revisions and GC level visuals.

 

Thanks for the advice.

 

Sorry for bringing back an old topic, but the fight between Raiden and Vamp cutscene is NOT pre-rendered. I can confirm this because I have FaceCamo on Snake. The part where snake snips the lines to free Raiden proves it. I was also able to use the SixAxis to revert the OctoCamo and the FaceCamo. So the fight between Raiden and Vamp is completely in-game. The artifacts might be a problem with the processing...
