The Metal Gear that almost wasn't, as it came just a little too close to being caught by the enemy without the ! above their heads

Some people can't have their morning breakfast without orange juice, just like most of us can't have a Metal Gear game without the ! above the heads of the enemy when we goof up and get caught by one of them. That was almost the case, as Hideo Kojima had actually considered not putting that element into the new Metal Gear Solid 5 game. A big mistake that even his own staff had warned him against doing. Recently in an interview with Weekly Famitsu, he had a few statements on the matter.

"I actually considered not including the '!' mark that appears when enemies discover you.  The staff said, 'if you get rid of it, it'll cause an uproar!"

"Considering the console specs, it would have been possible to substitute with facial expressions and gestures. But when the character visuals are that realistic, you need to have a certain element of 'ambiguity."

"I want to include the cardboard box [in the game]"

So the legacy lives on, even though the voice of Solid Snake David Hayter was ditched this time around, at least our long time companion !, and the famous cardboard box you can sneak around in are two elements being kept in MGS5. We certainly can't live without tradition now can we?
