A full history of the Metal Gear franchise. From Hideo Kojima joining Konami's MSX division, to the most recent rumors regarding Bluepoint and the mysterious "BlueBox Studio."

Celebrate nearly 35 years of one of the most iconic stealth action video games of all time by learning how the series has evolved! Metal Gear is a stealth action video game series created by Hideo Kojima and produced by a Japanese holding company called Konami. The series began as an MSX pixel stealth action game, and has grown to be one of the greatest - most recognizable video games in the history of the medium. This documentary will cover it all, including: Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, the NES releases like Snake's Revenge, the highly influential Metal Gear Solid on the PlayStation, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, all of the PSP and Gameboy releases, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and everything in-between!

Join me as I detail each and every game, breaking down their development history, storyline, gameplay features, visuals, and their critical reception, all backed with each game's original soundtrack.
