Metal Gear Solid: 20 Things That Made You Love Hideo Kojima

12. "A Hind D/Surveillance Camera?!" (And That Controller Rumble)

From T-shirts to the most quoted gaming-line of the late 90's, David Hayter's intonation whilst describing both a Russian gunship and some basic security equipment became so renowned you've probably already read it in the appropriate tone as this entry popped up. Coming right at the opening of the game as the mood of sleuthing your way through a guard-infested base was settling in, gamers of 1998 had no idea just how crazy a ride they were embarking on. However, just as Snake remarks on the existence of his enemy's firepower, the newly-released DualShock controller rumbled away in your hand as the helicopter itself took off and thundered away overhead. The very idea of a rumbling controller isn't going to turn heads or get people talking in 2015, but back then with these visuals, it was amazing.
