The MGS2 that existed a few months before release was very different from the game that did release.
Hideo Kojima recently gave an interview to the magazine Weekly Tokyo Keizai, in which he talked a little about the run-up to the release of Metal Gear Solid 2 and how real-world events almost scuppered the game's release. At the time MGS2 was probably the most anticipated game in the world, and was due to release in November 2001. Then two months before the game's release, the September 11 terrorist attacks happened, killing just under 3,000 people and changing the course of the world.
"The depiction of [the] game's themes and its numerous similarities with the real-world events on September 11 rendered it unfit for release at the time," said Kojima ."After consulting with lawyers, the end result was that the game required revisions in 300 spots. It goes without saying that we were in crisis mode and it was threatening the release and sale of the game."
The director's first instinct was that"the game shouldn't be released at this period in time" and, further to that,"I have no other choice but to take responsibility and resign from the company." "[I also] reached out to Kagemasa Kozuki, the founder of Konami through email," said Kojima."He responded with, 'I have made up my mind. The game should be released. What are your thoughts?' I was moved by the words and I too made up my mind."
