With Metal Gear Survive flopping and Hideo Kojima absent from Konami, the future of Metal Gear is fuzzy—or completely nonexistent. But, thankfully, Retronauts is a past-based operation, and there's plenty of Metal Gear behind us to look back on and discuss. On this episode, join Bob Mackey and Henry Gilbert as the two-man crew tackles you most burning questions about Metal Gear.

Great answer, thank you! I have plenty of nostalgia for the PS1 era, but it sounds like MGS V is the way to go. You've steered me away from Twin Snakes at the very least, which I'd been deceived into thinking was an upgrade on the original.

Thank you for responding to my letter. While I think MGSV has great gameplay, it doesn’t really provide what I felt the Metal Gear Solid franchise was all about. I guess for me “Metal Gear” was more about Tactical Espionage Action and less about whatever you could classify MGSV’s gameplay as. I’m not a fan of all the base building stuff that got added to the series in the PSP era either, but I loved the Ac!d games (which I believe is another pair of Metal Gear games Kojima had nothing to do with).

There's nothing really wrong with Twin Snakes. It was my first experience with the series and was a really great introduction. I keep a Gamecube on hand for a bunch of good stuff, but being able to go back to that canonical first Metal Gear experience is a big one!

I haven't completed MGS3 or MGS5 (yet), but I've played through the rest and am a pretty big fan. I don't know why MGS4 gets so much flack, I really thought it was just a fun game all around. Maybe I need to play it again, because I don't know anyone else who still enjoys it anywhere near as much as the others.

I do remember in metal-gear.net there was post of a guy who pirated the game and talked about Raiden as vague as possible. Community didn't believe him.
