The internet has exploded and we get the fitting "!" sign in our heads, as Deadline has reported that "Star Wars" Sequel Trilogy and "Dune" star Oscar Isaac has been cast as Solid Snake in the upcoming live-action Metal Gear Solid movie to be directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts! The film is currently in development by Sony Pictures, and is based on the Tactical Espionage Action video game series of the same name created by Hideo Kojima that started in the original PlayStation way back in 1998.
Isaac is keeping pretty busy now that he's playing the legendary soldier who was a member of Foxhound. In addition to Snake, he was also recently tapped to play Moon Knight in the upcoming Marvel Studios TV Series for Disney +. This is definitely a good time for the Guatamelan-American actor!
No word yet on when Metal Gear Solid will be released, but we finally have a face behind Solid Snake!
Five years ago, one of the most anticipated games and what would ironically be the last collaboration between Konami and Hideo Kojima before the well documented controversy became public was released - as the long awaited "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain" hit stores and shelves internationally on September 1st, 2015 for the Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC. As a follow up to the stand alone prologue chapter that was "Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes", The Phantom Pain was the true full MGSV experience and the first open world game in the series - utilizing the proprietary FOX Engine and putting players in control of Punished "Venom" Snake.
METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN | E3 2015 Trailer [Long] (US)
Set primarily in 1984 and with the theme of vengeance at its core, Snake wakes up from a nine year coma and embarks in a journey of revenge and reestablishment following the loss of the Militaires Sans Frontieres. Reunited with Kazuhira Miller and joining forces with his old nemesis Ocelot, the man with the codename "Big Boss" leads a new mercenary army in "Diamond Dogs" - setting on missions in Afghanistan and the Angola--Zaire Border to track down those responsible for their misfortunes - the XOF, Cipher, and the mysterious Skull Face. Being an open world game, The Phantom Pain utilized familiar mechanics used in past MGS games but also allowed for near flawless movement in the environment - utilizing stealth and plotting your actions carefully to achieve goals and capturing enemies and bases in order to succeed in the mission.
Coincidentally, The Phantom Pain was released on September 2nd in Japan - the day Big Boss' mentor and mother figure was killed during the events of Operation: Snake Eater (MGS3)
In what seems like a long time since the last bit of exciting news was shared about the project, Metal Gear Solid movie director JordanVogt-Roberts took to his Twitter to share some pretty awesome stuff - including some new concept art that you can see above from Form Language Studio featuring the pretty recognizable bipedal weapon that is Metal Gear Rex!
I wish I could share more frequent updates on the film adaptation of @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN’s seminal METAL GEAR SOLID...
The director also shared an awesome CODEC call video, featuring the voices of actors David Hayter, Paul Eiding, and Christopher Randolph - as they reprised their signature roles as Solid Snake, Roy Campbell, and Otacon respectively for an #MGSQuarantine message!
In what has been one of the most requested pieces of Metal Gear media to be translated to English, Metal Gear voice acting legends David Hayter and Robin Atkin Downes - who each voiced Snake/ Big Boss and Kazuhira "Kaz" Miller" in the Metal Gear Solid series - have released a fan service tribute that honors their time in "Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker", the 20th Anniversary of the release of "Metal Gear Solid", and "Veteran's Day" worldwide - the MGS Peace Walker Sauna Track or "Heiwa to Kazuhira no Blues/ Blues of Peace and Kazuhira".
Originally released on September 22, 2010 - the official CD Drama companion to Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker was written by Hideo Kojima and performed by Snake and Kaz's Japanese voice actors, Akio Otsuka and Tomakazu Sugita respectively. The CD contained remixes of songs released in the Peace Walker soundtrack, as well as "extended briefing file tapes" and other audio special to the release. Now, Snake and Kaz's US Voice Actors have released their version of the audio drama itself. Take a listen below.

This release follows two weeks after Hayter and Downes went live in Periscope and celebrated 20 years of MGS by havinga Q& A with the fans - which this writer, blogger, and MGS fan participated in. If you haven't seen it - here it is! I'm hoping they do get to visit in our shores some time!

Celebrating 43 years of fighting evil mechanical beasts and protecting humanity from evil, Go Nagai's Mazinger Z is truly one of the epic legends of Japanese Popculture, and is arguably considered the "Grandfather" of the Super Robot genre! Pilot Koji Kabuto and his robot companion have landed Rocket Punches, Rust Hurricanes, and Breast Fires in several mediums, but everything started way back in October 2, 1972 when the first manga volume was released on the Weekly Shonen Jump, followed by the classic anime series on December 3 that same year.
Let's revisit nostalgia with the original opening.

As Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain enjoys its worldwide release this week, Hideo Kojima and Konami release a special "Debriefing" video that is certainly something that serves as a "Thank You" note to the fans and to a heartfelt goodbye given the circumstances behind-the-scenes between publisher and creator.
[Official] Debriefing | METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN
Pretty much the stuff that hits home right there. Thank you, Kojima-San.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is now available for PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC.
With just TWO DAYS left until the latest chapter in the saga started by Hideo Kojima gets its worldwide release, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is generating a lot of positive buzz and reviews courtesy of the media and gaming market. Focusing on the continued story of one Naked Snake/ Venom Snake as he completes his evolution into the legendary soldier known as "Big Boss", this game will be open-world and redefines "Tactical Espionage Operations" as we know it, as well as it being the controversial last entry Mr. Kojima will work on with Konami after a dispute between the game developer and company that will see the former tender in his resignation following the game's release.
That being said, the game will also be offered alongside a LIMITED EDITION Playstation 4 console that is decorated appropriately after Venom Snake's robotic arm colors and bearing the Diamond Dogs insignia. Popculture fansite "Geek Culture" offers a first look at the unboxing of the Asia version of the MGSV TPP LE PS4... And it looks downright GORGEOUS.

Hitting video game stores and retailers exactly ONE WEEK from today, Hideo Kojima and Konami have released the official "Launch Trailer" for what arguably is the final entry to the long-running Metal Gear Solid series with "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain".
Continuing the story of the legendary soldier known as Big Boss, the game is set primarily in 1984 and is a tale of revenge and conspiracy, as the man now going under the codename "Venom Snake" goes through a lengthy journey of vengeance involving stealth and warfare that ultimately leads to conflict with a new weapon that has the potential to "surpass Metal Gear".

As the last game to be directed by Hideo Kojima following some controversial issues with Konami that will lead to the former's departure from the company, this will be the last swan song for fans who have followed a cinematic journey that began since the very first Metal Gear game.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will be released for PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, and PC starting September 1.
Looks like the cat's finally out of the bag thanks to an inadvertant leak!
As reported by Kotaku and pointed out by a NeoGAF user, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is apparently getting its long awaited World Wide Release on September 1, 2015! That means the MAIN GAME and sequel to Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will finally be coming to Current and Last Generation consoles this year, as promised by the creator and man himself, Hideo Kojima.
With the IGN announcement not yet publicly released, stay tuned for it and confirmation of this report by checking the official Metal Gear Solid Facebook page.
MGS V: The Phantom Pain will be released for the PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC.
So... What would happen in Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima was actually made into the "hero" of a Metal Gear Solid game?
Well fans and modders wondered just the same, and with the man's character model appearing in "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain", they went right to work in creating a "playableKojimainstead of Snake" (actually swapping character models).
Thanks to Kotaku and YouTube user Adrien DS, here's the gameplay video to tell the tale.

If you were among the many diehard Metal Gear Solid fans who tuned in to a livestream for an announcement on Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain from none other than the franchise's creator Hideo Kojima... Then you were in for QUITE THE SURPRISE.
And "Surprise" is an understatement when it involves revealing a special item Big Boss/ Venom Snake can use and has him wearing a silly "Chicken Hat". As reported by Comic Book.com and Kotaku, this cluckin' item made the headlines.
However, it's not just ANY Chicken Hat. It's an item players can get in The Phantom Pain - where if they fail and die numerous times, they shall be rewarded with this poor excuse of headgear which ACTUALLY helps to make Snake slightly undetectable! It's a choice and it will certainly look ridiculous... But it has its benefits for those willing to go the distance!
Check out Kojima's announcement via this YouTube clip of the segment.
"Did you rike it?" - Hideo Kojima

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Story Trailer
Originally released on November 17, 2004 for the Playstation 2, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater has officially turned 10 years today, and the game remains a critically acclaimed video game as well as one of the most important installments of Konami's long-running Metal Gear series created by Hideo Kojima. The game is set in 1964, and introduces gamers to the origins of Naked Snake, the man who will grow to become the legendary soldier known as "Big Boss", and his "Baptism of Fire" through his very first mission to put a stop to a deadly nuclear weapon and assassinate a central figure important to him that will change his life forever.
Changing the rules and breaking boundaries, Snake Eater went on to have several re-releases and ports through the years, with the most recent being an HD re-release in the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PS Vita. If you haven't dived into a Metal Gear game yet and want to experience first hand the events that lead up to the upcoming game that is Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, then this is the game you should start with and play before anything else.

"D.D", or "Diamond Dog" the wolf dog.
Now, we get the trailers in English dub, with Kiefer Sutherland voicing Big Boss, aka Venom Snake.
