Metal Gear Solid Gets TTS Speed Demo, Sequel Features
Thanks to Evil Avatar for pointing to the Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes speed demo archive, which is storing a massive 294MB DIVX video showing the recently released GameCube title completed perfectly on Extreme mode in 1 hour and 10 minutes - the record holder 'Karma Hunter' explains: "I decided to help those I knew by making a video of a no-save game. Nothing fancy--a perfect run. So, I turned GOID (Game Over If Discovered) on, and made a video. Imagine my utter shock when I achieved a World Record at the end of the video." Elsewhere 1UP has a few more details regarding the PS2's Metal Gear Solid 3, after last week's voice casting call revealed possible new character names, also noting much more complex combat for the sequel, with moves "...developed by MGS military advisor Motosada Mori, himself a teacher of self-defense and close combat techniques."
The guy obviously taped this on VHS first, before capturing it onto his PC (probably via a USB MPEG-1 unit by the looks of it). In other words, if you're looking for a pixel perfect representation...do it yourself. The guy isn't in it to show off video quality, just his skills at this game.
Turn up your brightness or just close the window.
No one found the entry "Thunderbolt (Colonel)" interesting? Colonel Roy Campbell, much like Revolver Ocelot, would've been a young man in the 1960s, and he probably would've been a military man since the age of 18. And it's not unlikely that someone overseeing a highly secret military group (Foxhound) would've been a former member, probably with his own codename...
Then again, Campbell never seemed to regard Revolver Ocelot with any suspicion while Ocelot was a legitimate member of Foxhound, so there would be kind of a continuity gap there.
