Watch an incredible UE4 recreation of Metal Gear Solid’s opening sequence

An artist has recreated the opening of Metal Gear Solid in Unreal Engine 4.

Art director Erasmus Brosdau – whose credits include Crysis, Ryse, and Star Citizen – painstakingly rebuilt the opening sequence of Konami’s seminal stealth game. The cut-scene, captured in real time 4K, matches the original introduction almost shot for shot.
