Metal Gear Solid is coming to game screens and is already available for download via torrent. Press start and Metal Gear Solid will start with an underwater FPS view, looking at the opening dock area. After the codec enforces the first screen, which uses the game’s default viewing angle, a “hidden” coefficient is shown in the water below, but when Snake steps in to extract it, the angle switches from top to bottom, “hiding” the element behind several barrels. You know there’s a ration in there, so run Snake in anyway and you’ll be rewarded. Minor, but this is Kojima’s first 3D trick. The word “Solid” in the title is a pun, referring not only to the protagonist of Solid Snake, but also to the transition from top-down 2D to a more “solid” 3D world. Kojima literally approached 3D design – he built levels using Lego bricks. And it’s not just about modeling: the team hooked up a camera that can be positioned over their structures and fed it to a PC, giving Kojima and his team “real guidance” on creating perspective and proportions. As it was said, the game has a very interesting animation.
