The following message was published, as editorial, dated July 7, 2007 by the site http://www.metalgearweb.net/ . This is the celebration of twenty years of Metal Gear Solid.
Twenty years with you. Twenty years of emotion and devotion, and twenty years of art masterpieces. Twenty years strong grasp on the genius of the Master Kojima, Metal Gear clinging to twenty years, to stop him, to help Snake, Snake any of it was, to accomplish his new mission. Twenty years, sir, something more than 7300 days.
As I write this editorial, the speakers of my stereo recite the soundtracks that accompanied the saga, their best pieces, something so exciting that perhaps it would be enough in itself to define the thickness of our favorite saga. We say only that the next song in the tracklist is The Best is yet to Come.
And the teacher had told us that the best was yet to come.
In 1987 I was even born, Metal Gear, yes. In 1990, when he came out Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, I was one year. In 1999, when it came out in Europe Metal Gear Solid, for years I had dieci, e fu allora che conobbi la serie. Se ne parlava tanto, dappertutto. Mi ero appena avvicinata al mondo dei videogames, e tutte le riviste su cui avevo la fortuna di mettere le mani titolavano che quel gioco, che io pronunciavo "Metal Ger Solid" sarebbe stato il capolavoro del 1998, che si trattava di un successo annunciato e che non avrebbe potuto essere altrimenti. Un'anteprima realizzata da Ufficiale PlayStation Magazine nel 1998 intervistava il giovane maestro Kojima, ricordava che gli chiedeva se non trovasse diseducativo per i più giovani giocatori creare un eroe accanito fumatore. La stessa anteprima, parlava anche di due episodi precedenti al capolavoro annunciato, un tale Metal Gear ed un tale Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. Quando acquistai la PlayStation, CD included in the demo I could see that there was Metal Gear Solid. Now I went looking for him to prove it, impatient, but could see only the video section. in nothing more than that, gentlemen, the trailer at E3 1997. Watching the trailer, I was still deeply affected, and I promised myself, ten year old girl, who in one way or another I tried playing Metal Gear Solid.
When I succeeded, it was only thanks to the Official PlayStation Magazine demo to be published in February 1999 found that among the arrears on sale in a big collection.
was that day that I met really Metal Gear Solid. When I received the full version was the Christmas gift in 1999. I played it, I feared him, loved him, criticized him, I understood it, I followed him infinitely and worshiped. I vowed that when I had a PC, I created a website with my brother Rob, and that was to become the best in Italian site completely dedicated to Metal Gear Solid. Small children with big plans in mind. It could not be otherwise, facing a great masterpiece.
From that day, beginning Wednesday in March in which I finished for the first time Metal Gear Solid and during the final of which had to devote all my strength not to cry, my love for Metal Gear exploded. It seems to me that we were now in 2000. On May 5, 2001 Project was born of our site, then called "In the Darkness of Shadow Moses". On 8 March 2002 they released Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. On March 26, 2004, the day I will never forget in my whole life, was released Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, a remake of my absolute favorite masterpiece. In October 2004, Metal Gear Web.net Project was born. On March 4, 2005 released Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. On May 12, 2005, was released on Metal Gear project Web
And meanwhile, the love continues.
One thing is certain: that day, when I read quell'anteprima 1997 devoted to Kojima's first masterpiece, I never thought today would come to this. I never thought to find friends that share the same passion and, above all, I never thought to discover that many have a history same or similar to mine. And 'that Metal Gear Solid is really much more than a game. It 's the parallel world of the idols of all our children, and admiration for the strength of Snake, for the genius of Kojima. Metal Gear is a real piece of our soul, not easily be forgotten. A simple game can not always take twenty years remaining on the crest of the wave and, above all, without ever stooping to tone, without ever damaging its prestige. In very few in the world of video games today, they remain masterpieces for decades. Sorry if
almost moves me is that I see the picture of that girl damn thrilled that the first shooting to overcome the communication tower. And excuse me but I guess the guys of the staff, my brother, even their children, happy with their copy of Metal Gear Solid. Excuse me if I imagine a small Big Snake on with his enthusiasm and throw himself on his PlayStation masterpiece. Excuse me if I remember a small Snake22 face an unknown to the laboratories of Cyborg Ninja Shadow Moses.
And sorry if I imagine doing the same thing all of you who are reading.
Metal Gear Solid makes an indelible part of our lives, because it was a childhood friend of all, that something extra that the other kids did not understand when we talked, that air of art that has made us write us did draw, we did make, emulate, to draw.
Twenty years later, Metal Gear is still here. Six years later, we are still here. We embrace, even if far, we venerate the Maestro without ever having spoken or without ever having touched his hand. And 'something is worth more than any distance: passion. And before our love for Metal Gear, first in his twenties, while each is in his home, it's as if we were all together, because everyone at the same time and at the same angle of the heart, as we think we feel moved to same thing.
entire staff of Metal Gear Web.net want to wish Konami and Kojima Productions another twenty years of success, some twenty years of glorious life for his masterpiece. The entire staff presents its Greetings to every single fan of the series, because this is a special day for each of our brothers. For all those who have been found to have a corner of the heart, even if small, dedicated to Solid Snake.
