When it comes to plot twists in gaming, there may not be a more famous series than Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear series. While it began life on the MSX2 home computer in Japan, during an era when storytelling in the medium was limited, Kojima's love of film broke through and allowed him to tell a story that had some real depth to it. It was filled with intrigue, mystery and shocking revelations. In its twenty-seven years of existence, the Metal Gear series has been swerving gamers with all sorts of insane plot twists and revelations about their favorite characters. From the haunting reveal of Naomi Hunter's true lineage, all the way to the shocking return of Big Boss at the end of Metal Gear Solid 4, Kojima is a master of the craft. Plot twists on the level that Metal Gear presents them are a difficult thing to pull off, as they often tie back into other games from the franchise in an attempt to weave an ongoing continuity. Perhaps even more interesting is how often these plot twists will go back to games that were released in a different generation, on an entirely different piece of hardware. Kojima spares nothing for the sake of whatever crazy story is in his head. So hit the next button, and we'll take a look at the ten times where Metal Gear shocked us the most. Beware that as we're talking twists, spoilers are inbound.
