is a series of action-adventure stealth video games, created by Hideo Kojima and developed and published by Konami. The first game, ''Metal Gear'', was released in 1987 for the MSX2. The player takes control of a special forces operative Solid Snake who is assigned to find the titular superweapon "Metal Gear", a bipedal walking tank with the ability to launch nuclear weapons. Several sequels have been released for multiple consoles after requests from Konami to produce new ''Metal Gear'' games. The sequels expand the original game's plot adding new characters opposing and supporting Snake, while there have also been a few prequels exploring the origins of the Metal Gear and recurring characters. Various parts were inspired by Hollywood films with character's names, settings and artworks often referencing them. Other notable traits are cinematic cut scenes, intricate storylines, offbeat humor, and exploration of political and philosophical themes, with references to Hollywood films to add flavor. As of March 2015, 41.2 million copies of the game franchise have been sold worldwide,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Metal Gear series has sold 41.2 million copies )〕 with individual installments having been critically and commercially acclaimed and having received several awards. The franchise has also been adapted into other media such as comics, novels, and drama CDs. Snake also appeared as a guest character in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. ==Games== ImageSize = width:280 height:1000 PlotArea = left:50 bottom:20 top:10 right:0 DateFormat = yyyy Period = from:1987 till:2015 TimeAxis = orientation:vertical order:reverse ScaleMajor = unit:year increment:1 start:1987 ScaleMinor = unit:year increment:1 start:1987 Colors = id:blue value:rgb(0,0,0) id:red value:rgb(0.9,0.05,0.05) # there is no automatic collision detection, # so shift texts up or down manually to avoid overlap Define $dx = 25 # shift text to right side of bar # shift texts up or down when two have same year Define $up = shift:($dx,1) Define $dw = shift:($dx,-8) PlotData= bar:Games anchor:till color:green width:15 textcolor:blue align:left fontsize:S mark:(line,white) shift:($dx,-4) from:1987 till:2015 at:1987 text:"Metal Gear" at:1990 text:"Snake's Revenge" at:1990 shift:($dx,-15) text:"Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake" at:1998 text:"Metal Gear Solid" at:2000 text:"Metal Gear: Ghost Babel" at:2001 text:"Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty" at:2004 text:"Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes" at:2004 shift:($dx,-15) text:"Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater" at:2004 shift:($dx,-24) text:"Metal Gear Acid at:2005 text:"Metal Gear Acid 2" at:2006 text:"Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops" at:2007 text:"Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus" at:2008 text:"Metal Gear Solid Mobile" at:2008 shift:($dx,-15) text:"Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots" at:2008 shift:($dx,-24) text:"Metal Gear Online" at:2009 text:"Metal Gear Solid Touch" at:2010 text:"Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker" at:2010 shift:($dx,-15) text:"Metal Gear Arcade" at:2012 text:"Metal Gear Solid: Social Ops" at:2013 text:"Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance" at:2014 text:"Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes" at:2015 text:"Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain" (詳細はHideo Kojima designed the original ''Metal Gear'', which debuted in Japan and Europe in 1987 for the MSX2 computer platform.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Metal Gear (MSX2) )〕 A separate team created a heavily modified Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) port of the game that was released in Japan, North America and Europe. Konami then produced an NES sequel titled ''Snake's Revenge''—in whose development Kojima was again not involved—that was released in North America and Europe in 1990. One of that game's designers became acquainted with Kojima and asked him to create a "real ''Metal Gear'' sequel". In reaction, Kojima began development of ''Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake'', which was released in Japan in 1990 for the MSX2.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Snake's Revenge )〕 Following ''Metal Gear 2''s completion, Kojima worked on other projects before directing his third ''Metal Gear'' game, ''Metal Gear Solid'', which was released for the PlayStation in 1998. The success of ''Metal Gear Solid'' resulted in a series of sequels, prequels, spin-offs, ports and remakes for Microsoft Windows, the Game Boy Color, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation Vita, Xbox 360, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. ''Metal Gear Solid'' was followed up by the sequel ''Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty'' released on November 2001 for the PlayStation 2. A remake of the original ''Metal Gear Solid'' called ''Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes'' was made for the Nintendo GameCube in early 2004.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes – Related Games )〕 Later that year, the third numbered entry, ''Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater'', was released for the PlayStation 2. This is the first prequel which was set prior to all the previously released Metal Gear games and which acted as an origin to the franchise.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/adventure/metalgearsolid2sonsol/similar.html?mode=versions )〕 These games were followed by a sequel to ''Snake Eater'' titled ''Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops'', which was released for the PlayStation Portable in 2006.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gamespot.com/psp/action/metalgearsolidpo/similar.html?mode=versions )〕 The series' main storyline was concluded in ''Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots'' for the PlayStation 3 in 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/adventure/metalgearsolid4/similar.html?mode=versions )〕 The game featured a multiplayer spin-off called ''Metal Gear Online''. In April 2010, another sequel to ''Snake Eater'' titled ''Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker'' was released for the PlayStation Portable and was set shortly after the events of ''Portable Ops''. The spinoff game, ''Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance'', was released in 2013 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and in Jan 2014 on Steam(PC). The game is set after ''Guns of the Patriots'' and stars Raiden, the protagonist of ''Sons of Liberty'' who turned into a cyborg ninja. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes was released on March 18, 2014 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. Ground Zeroes was much shorter than previous games and served as an introduction to the next game, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. The latest game in the series is Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, which was released on September 1, 2015 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox 360, and Xbox One,serves as an interquel between Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and the original Metal Gear. The game is set 9 years after Ground Zeroes and features Big Boss as the protagonist. Expanded re-releases of games in the series were produced as well, such as ''Integral'' (''Metal Gear Solid''), ''Substance'' (''Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty''), and ''Subsistence'' (''Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater'').〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Metal Gear Solid VR Missions – Related Games )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/adventure/metalgearsolid2substance/similar.html?mode=versions )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence – Related Games )〕 The series' portable installments are usually set outside the main storyline. ''Metal Gear: Ghost Babel'' was released for the Game Boy Color, and several titles were released for Sony's PlayStation Portable. In a departure from the series' style, ''Metal Gear Acid'' and its sequel used turn-based strategy mechanics based on collectible cards. On May 18, 2009, a teaser site for the following installment in the ''Metal Gear'' series was uploaded by Kojima Production. The site has so far consisted of a series of countdowns leading to several flashing letters and the images of two characters looking like a middle-aged Big Boss and a cyborg Raiden. An article published in the July 2009 issue of ''Famitsu PSP + PS3'' covers the content of the site and features an interview with Hideo Kojima. The interview, revealing many details, is heavily censored and was published that way as a request by Kojima, who is directing and designing the new game. Famitsu was to publish the full interview in its following issue. The new game was eventually revealed to be ''Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance'', which was announced on June 1, 2009 at E3, during the Microsoft Press Conference.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=E3: New Metal Gear confirmed for 360 News – Xbox 360 – Page 1 )〕 At E3 2010, a demo entitled "Metal Gear Solid 3D: Snake Eater – The Naked Sample" was shown for the Nintendo 3DS. The official E3 Kojima site later released screenshots and official art for the demo. Kojima did state, however, that this was not a preview for a full game but just a sample of what could be done on the 3DS hardware. Another mobile port of a previously released game was shown at Sony's PlayStation Meeting on January 27, 2011, where Hideo Kojima demonstrated a possible portable version of ''Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots'' for the upcoming PlayStation Vita. On June 2, 2011 Konami announced the ''Metal Gear Solid HD Collection'' which was released in November 2011 for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The collection features remastered versions of ''Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty'', ''Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater'', and ''Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker'', rendered in 720p and running at 60fps, including Trophies/Achievements, and remastered audio. On August 15, 2011 UK retailer Zavvi secured the exclusive right to sell the ''Metal Gear Solid: Ultimate HD Collection'' only available for the PlayStation 3, which was released on November 25. In November 2011, Kojima discussed with ''PlayStation Official Magazine (UK)'' the series' future commenting an upcoming ''Metal Gear Solid 5''. Kojima said: "I think we'll probably have to make it (sequel to ''MGS4'' ) at some point, but what that will be, we have no idea." Kojima stated that when Konami does get around to building the game, he will have less influence than he had on previous iterations in the series. After the mixed fan reactions of the reveal of the rebooted action gameplay focused spin-off ''Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance'', Hideo Kojima reassured fans that an "authentic stealth ''Metal Gear Solid''" sequel would be coming in the future. During a discussion panel at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in March 2012, Kojima stated "I am working on something that I think will become the shining moment" for his career and the ''Metal Gear'' series. During the franchise's 25th anniversary, Konami revealed a demo for a new title in the ''Metal Gear'' series, ''Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes''. A social game for the GREE titled ''Metal Gear Solid: Social Ops'' was released on December 2012. On December 7, 2012, a teaser for the video game titled ''The Phantom Pain'' was revealed on the Spike Video Game Awards. After the teaser trailer aired, numerous video game-related websites and fansites reported the trailer's seemed connection to the ''Metal Gear'' series of video games. Although the trailer presented the game as being developed by ''Moby Dick Studio'', there were a few hints that ''The Phantom Pain'' may have some connection to Kojima Productions and the ''Metal Gear'' series due to the protagonist's resemblance to Big Boss, as well as the head of ''Moby Dick Studio'', Joakim Mogren's first name was an anagram of "Kojima". On March 27, 2013, Kojima announced at GDC 2013 that ''Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes'' and ''The Phantom Pain'' were revealed to be two different portions of one whole work entitled ''Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain'' with ''Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes'' serving as the prologue and ''The Phantom Pain'' serving as the main story. Snake's usual English-language voice actor David Hayter was not cast for the role. Instead, Hollywood actor and producer Kiefer Sutherland will take over the role. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Metal Gear」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
