Metal Gear Solid series is well known amongst hardcore gamers and movie buffs alike. Metal Gear is one of the first elaborate stories for a video game ever made and the breaking edge in graphics to match up with it's amazing story. The one responsible for the art of the Metal Gear series is Yoji Shinkawa the lead concept artist. Now while it is the story that made this series as popular as it is the graphics is what kept a new audience needing needing to learn about these games. The most famous design is from the latest game in the series Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Which sold thousands of PS3s when the PS3 in the red and was having serious issues selling. The reason why the graphics got so well known is the design was made to be done in realtime rendering rather than rendering before and having it only good during cutscenes. That is revolutionary because before that when you played the character he would look dramatically different from the great looking character from the cutscene before. That with the style on the technology used in the story.
Now Yoji Shinkawa is really only famous for the MGS series. That series was responsible for a revolution and is well more than enough to be one of the best artists in our modern time.
