As we can read at Metal Gear Wikia, Guy Savage is the name of an easter-egg mini game that can be found in Metal Gear Solid 3. This mini-game was directed by Shuyo Murata (MGS3 writer) as stated in the credits. Guy Savage is a basic hack-n-slash game where the player encounters a vast amount of enemies, and must press the attack buttons repeatedly to defeat them.
While there’s not an official statement, rumors say that Guy Savage was supposed to be a Konami game in development, that was later cancelled. The playable demo that was created as an internal pitch for the project was added in MGS3 just for fun.
Thanks to Userdante for the contribution!

I don’t know if this is actually what happened, but if you compare this early version of Guy Savage to the Konami game Nanobreaker, which was released a year later, you’re sure to notice some gameplay similarity. I would guess that Guy Savage was actually reworked into Nanobreaker.
Thanks for the info Marshall, i did not know about Nanobreaker, but looking at some videos it really looks a bit like Guy Savage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jbpn6oRQl5k
sadly only Konami knows for sure..
I just wanted to say how much I enjoy this website. As for Guy Savage, I played it thinking it was more of a insight into a later Metal Gear title maybe related to Grey Fox or Raiden (as I didn’t get to play MGS3 until MGS4 was announced). Now knowing what little we do about the next MG title, maybe this gameplay style will make a comeback in the story of Raiden?
If this was made by Konami-then.. it’s Castlevania Lord Of Shadows..
Hack ‘n Slash + Konami = DRACULA THHHHHRRREEE DDDDDEEEEE!
