50 Facts about Solid Snake
Ойындар
The star of one of the most important video game franchises in the gaming world is Solid Snake from, of course, Metal Gear Solid. As anyone who has ever played a Metal Gear Game will tell you, it has a lot of story and lore. Like.. a LOT of story and lore. The Bandana wearing legendary soldier is no exception, having more backstory and trivia than I ever imagined.

There was actually a reason for why Snake had darker hair. Because David and Eli looked so similar, they decided to dye Snake's hair in addition to the trim to help differentiate them if they needed to. It's either in the mission briefing or one of the early codec calls.

i mean, canonically, we dont have anything official on his hair, cause there is could be many reasons, they retcon him being blonde and then the official designer for snake says he dyes his hair, and then retcon him to always being brown hair in twin snakes, which was a shitty remake. honestly, for all we know he could actually be blonde, but just prefers to dye it brown, hence why he has brown hair in the original mg games, and the reason he's blonde at the start of mgs1 could simply come down to him just coming out of a drunken, PTSD ridden depression and hasn't felt ready enough to dye his hair, we may never know now

I thought it was Eli had brown hair and it was bleached by the sun from all his time in the middle east. Honestly it sounds more of a Metal Gear thing imo
[3:07] Both Solid and Liquid Snake originally have blonde hair, yes.. but... Liquid keeps his long blonde locks and (if I remember correctly) Campbell instructs Solid Snake to cut his short and dye it brown, so it that it'll be easier for people to tell who's who. I think this is explained in the MGS1 briefing tapes if you listen to all of it.

It's indeed explained in the briefing tapes if you heard all of them, but it's not Campbell who suggests Snake to do it but rather Snake who decides by himself, and when asked by Naomi (if I remember correctly), he states that he doesn't want to be mistaken as the enemy.

I heard he was named David because of the Old Testament King David, the youngest of his brothers and who was viewed upon as the weakest (we learned that Solid's genes were actually the recessive genes of Big Boss, whereas Liquid got the dominant genes and Solidus was known as the "perfect clone" of Big Boss, thereby making Solid the generically weakest of the trio) but took down Goliath, a giant (any of the Metal Gears). Both even have an older brother named Eli. Also, as MGS4 showed, both Zero and Big Boss misunderstood The Boss' will--a figure whom they pretty much deified in the series--trying to fulfill it their own way. However, arguably, only Solid was the one who fought for what she truly meant the whole time, as her philosophy from BB in MGS4's epilogue: fighting for what they believe in, while respecting everyone else's, much like how of the old testament kings, only David truly had that special relationship and understanding of God's character and goals.

6:52 "Heavy...Gear?" What I wouldn't give to live in that timeline where Solid Snake wrote a Black Widow spy movie. Sure all the reviews would've just been "You're pretty good," but it would've been worth it. And I love that while Kojima was trying to get other actors as Snake, Nintendo and Ford are like "Okay, but David Hayter is the definitive Snake."

This is crazy! My favorite resident evil channel talking about one of my favorite games.
Snake cuts his hair and dyes it during the briefing cutscene in mgs1, in order to avoid being confused with his brother.
I would love to see more facts about the metal gear solid series!
4:51 Originally he was going to start the game with only a knife, but concerns were raised regarding age rating so they dropped it, only showing in MGS3, they had the same problem in MGS4 with the syringe where they almost had to drop it over pressure from Sony but managed to keep it in the end.
Love 1-2 but 3 is my favorite for a lot of reasons mostly the jungle hiding was great !!!

not really Hedgehogs eats Snakes, but the Japanese voice of Eggman is voice by Akio Otsuka who also voices Solid Snake, Solidus and Big Boss in the MGS so indirectly Solid Snake is Eggman's VA in the Japanese not really because Hedgehogs eats snakes.
Learning that solid snake is a genius makes it even more hilarious that he's always so confused whenever someone brings up metal gear in the games

In the Videogame Bloodstained Ritual of the Night. David Hayter does the voice for the character Zangetsu. In the voicelines option he says this: "What a terrible night to have a... Box ?" also in Castlevania Lords of Shadow, you can give Gabriel Belmont a Bandana and the Solid Eye. To make him look like Snake. It was a little thank you to Kojima, who supervised the Game. BTW, your David Hayter imitation is pretty impressiv. :O
Snake Eater is my favorite!
Snake's Revenge wasn't the official second part. It was just a non canon NES exclusive. Metal Gear 2 - Solid Snake was the official sequel and it wasn't Japan exclusive. it was released together with Metal Gear in Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence in 2005
Also the reason why he doesn't like blades is because of cyborg Ninja gray fox
Still to this day, Metal Gear is still one of, if not, the greatest story ever told in gaming.
Dude, thank you so much for making this video. I have played this game since I was 8 years old. And I did learn something new. “You’re pretty good” 👍
