I’ve been wanting to do a video review since before my text review of MGS4 was published and Metal Gear seemed like the perfect foil. I’ve been planning out the scenes as I was writing the review and, as time passed without biting the bullet and going ahead with production, I kept story-boarding again and again.
This is probably why I originally envisioned the video as a normal fifteen-minutes-tops review and ended up with this personal epic. There were so many ideas I just couldn’t bear to cut, which inflated the project to five different parts, one for each of MGS’ acts.
Even when shooting started however, I thought I’d wrap the shoot, edit and publish the thing in less than a week.
Ha!
Anyway, there is a bit of drama surrounding my inaugural video review (that is actually a playthrough) but, long story short, we ended up with this gargantuan critique, that has a combined runtime of one hour, twenty minutes. I love it.
It’s still shorter than MGS4’s ending cutscene.
