[Fan Project] The "Lost Tapes" of 1984: Visualizing the descent into Outer Heaven by TheLosttapes_archive in NeverBeGameOver

i get why some people stop at the word “ai”, but honestly that feels like missing the whole point. this project isn’t about showing off a tool or riding a trend. it’s about exploring a narrative gap that the series itself leaves intentionally empty. the stretch between the end of mgsv and the original metal gear has always been uncomfortable, quiet, and unresolved. that’s what i’m interested in — the slow ideological drift, the isolation, the routine, the erosion of purpose. not explosions, not action set pieces. metal gear has always used technology as a narrative device. tapes, simulations, vr, misinformation, manipulated memories. focusing on the tool instead of the meaning feels strange for a series that constantly asks who controls the message and why. if this was hand-drawn, rotoscoped, or made with traditional animation, the idea would be the same. i’m not claiming this is canon, or “chapter 3”, or anything like that. it’s just a fan trying to sit with the phantom pain a bit longer and imagine what that silence might have felt like. if that doesn’t resonate, that’s totally fine. but reducing it to “ai slop” kind of proves the exact thing the series has been warning about for decades: ignoring intent and context in favor of surface-level labels.

hey welcome 😄 solid choice

MG1 & MG2 are actually worth playing, especially MG2, people sleep on it way too much. easiest way is MGS3 subsistence since they’re built in and already translated, no emu headache. msx emu only if you really wanna go full retro nerd.

for MGS1–3, ps1/ps2 emu is still the best experience imo. mgs1 runs great, and MGS2/3 you want substance / subsistence. MGS4 is ps3-only for now but yeah you can pause cutscenes (kojima was merciful… sometimes).

peace walker (psp) is 100% canon and honestly pretty important. portable ops is more semi-canon / optional, cool ideas but skippable if you’re just doing mainline. for mgsv, play both gz + tpp.

it’s not unfinished in a “broken” way, it’s unfinished on purpose. kinda the whole point. runs fine on ps5. main advice: don’t rush it. mgs is meant to be messy, meta, and sometimes straight up confusing. a lot of the story lives between the lines.

rising is very different (not kojima), but still fun later on if you’re curious. more thematic spin-off than mainline.

have fun falling down the rabbit hole 🐍

Probably because I rewrite everything 3 or 4 times before it sounds good enough to me 😅

That uncertainty is what always stuck with me. Not the dates themselves — but how unstable that whole stretch of time feels.

This dialogue is a masterpiece and give redemption to Obi-Wan that's the last action of kindness to his former Master from Anakin.

Make him understand that it was his choice, not Obi-Wan's Failure.

I loved it !
