After Metal Gear 2, Hideo Kojima worked on other projects (notably Snatcher and Policenauts) before directing his third Metal Gear game, Metal Gear Solid, which was released for the PlayStation in 1998. The success of Metal Gear Solid inspired a series of sequels and a prequel on the PlayStation home consoles as well as several portable games. Metal Gear Solid was followed by Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox, along with the prequel Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater for the PlayStation 2. The series storyline was finally concluded in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for the PlayStation 3. A remake of Metal Gear Solid called Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes was also made for the Nintendo GameCube.
Expanded versions of the games were produced as well such as Integral, Substance and Subsistence. Several portable games were also produced and are mostly set outside the series' main storyline. Metal Gear: Ghost Babel tried to convey the features of Metal Gear Solid to the limited Game Boy Color. After that several games were released for Sony's PlayStation Portable. Metal Gear Acid and its sequel used turn-based strategy-mechanics in a heavy departure from the series' style. With the release of Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops for the PlayStation Portable, the series 3D-action formula was first conveyed on a hand-held console and featured, unlike all previous hand-held games, a canonical story.
The games carry many implicit parallels to Nietzschean philosophy.[14] Many of the characters struggle to find their own way of life after having discovered that the objective standards by which they lived by turned out to be a lie, a concept similar to the death of God that Nietzsche wrote about in Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The reiteration of settings, themes and plot development across different Metal Gear Solid games is a striking illustration of the Eternal recurrence, as described in The Gay Science.
The main focus of the first two Metal Gear games for the MSX dealt with rivalry between protagonist Solid Snake, a rookie member of FOXHOUND, and antagonist Big Boss, who is initially introduced as the commanding officer of FOXHOUND in the original Metal Gear, but is later revealed to be the leader of the South African fortress of Outer Heaven. In the following game, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Big Boss is revealed to be the leader of the hostile nation of Zanzibar Land in Central Asia, confronting Snake for the second time. Supporting characters during this period include fellow FOXHOUND agent Gray Fox, the Metal Gear designer Dr. Pettrovich Madnar, and Outer Heaven resistance leader Kyle Schneider, all of whom were on Snake's side during the first game but became antagonists in the sequel.
