Metal Gear Solid: Who Should Remake It?

IGN: "Kojima is down to have someone use the Fox Engine and remake his baby. What developer should do it?"

6DEAD6END63949d ago

Naughty Dog for sure, they would take their time and make a great make. Kojima would trust them with his baby for sure since they have a great track record in making compelling titles.

GreenRanger3949d ago

@ 6DEAD6END6
Naughty Dog should make the next Syphon Filter, and not waste time and resources remaking an old game.

RumbleFish3949d ago

I cannot and will never understand why KP don't do it. They just need to create one room in the MGS 4 engine. Apart from that room where Snake enters Shadow Moses in MGS everything is allready done in MGS 4. Remake the cut scenes, use the old voice overs. Done.
Correct me if I am wrong.

sarshelyam3949d ago

I'd have to agree with this. Their talents would be squandered on the limited scope of another artists vision.

Mainman3949d ago (Edited 3949d ago )

Who should remake MGS1? And 2 etc.?

Koji pro, or some other team within Konami preferably in the same building as Kojima productions.

As much as I love Naughty Dog, I prefer a Kojima productions making the game. I don't know if anyone has noticed, but there is a certain 'feel' to MGS games and it needs to be present in any remake's.

The GameCube remake and MGR were actually missing this 'feel' I am talking about. The very first gameplay trailer for MGR (when it was still being developed by Koji Pro), this 'feel' was present there as well.

I can't really explain what it is, but the MGS game's atmosphere is just spot on and I am afraid that no external studio can nail this type of 'feel/atmosphere'.

Btw, this doesn't mean I wouldn't welcome Naughty Dog remaking MGS. But I would prefer Kojima productions make it though, or another Konami studio in Tokyo.

I wouldn't want Silicon Knights (if they still exist), or Platinum games doing the MGS remake though.

GeckoPutt3948d ago

@RumbleFish, unfortunately, you are wrong. Whilst a lot of Shadow Moses was remade, there are LOTS of areas that weren't. I can think of the basements where you meet the DARPA Chief, and fight Ocelot off the top of my head, you also have the Commander's Room (where you fight Psycho Mantis), along with the numerous rooms around that building.

There is still a lot of work to be done for this remake to even think about happening.

Mainman, couldn`t agree more.

I also think ND would rather work on Uncharted, Last of US sequel of some sort, or maybe a new IP. And use their own engine too.

I think the same applies for big studios like Rocksteady etc. So, i would imagine i would be a smaller, upcoming developer or a less "famous" studio of some sort.

I played through both MGS1 and FF7 not too long ago and they both are still the magical games i remember, so a little unsure if a remake is needed.

It would be fun to see them updated with better graphics and controls for fans and to get more new people into them :)

TongkatAli3949d ago

Naughty Dog. Naughty Dog can do stealth gameplay and better.

6DEAD6END63949d ago

I don't think they will make stealth better but they would make the acting and cinematic compelling from a story stand point.

TongkatAli3949d ago

Going flat on your stomach and crawling then getting up or running then going to the position to crawl was always clucking and annoying.

Also attaching to walls is clunky to me in Metal Gear games and in Uncharted and Last Of Us attaching to walls is so smooth.

raiden-493949d ago

4A Games from their past work on the metro franchise.

lastdual3949d ago

I wouldn't mind seeing Arkane (the guys that made Dishonored) give it a shot. Won't happen, as they're under the Bethesda umbrella and thus wouldn't be able to do a Konami-published game, but the talent is there.

There are so few developers that can be trusted to do stealth right these days :(

sarshelyam3949d ago

Highmoon has covered the gamut of games and really hit the nail on the head of nostalgia with their Transformers Cybertron entries.

Avalanche Studios would be another prime contender for handling the property with care...though they're far more into the open-world fresh IP angle with titles like Just Cause and Mad Max!

I don't know, but those are my suggestions.

I’d have taken a few of those out. Prefer Sonic over Sonic 2. Outrun should be in there. Maybe even Pong as millions of people had fun with that even if it was repetitive. Final Fight pipped any Streets of Rage game, although Streets of Rage had the better soundtrack. Too many to list l guess. To me, retro gaming is the 1980s, maybe going into early 1990s.

Popsicle37d ago

Agree that the generational gap is too broad to really make a strong list. Need to tighten the years a bit. Hard to compare Pac Man with N64 games.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater - Official Unreal Engine 5 Trailer | Xbox Partner Preview

Get a glimpse at how the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 will be updated through the use of Unreal Engine 5.

Snookies12182d ago

It looks wonderful visually. Frame rate is very inconsistent though, and definitely running sub-30's at times. I get that this is an alpha version. I just hope we can hit a locked 60 on the final release. Also, I kind of wish they'd expanded the areas a bit. Might feel a bit odd going through these sections that are still clearly going to be on a PS2 scale in size.

neutralgamer1992182d ago

They should expand where necessary and I really hope they do justice to this remake. IMO this remake should be top tier like dead space, resident evil 2 & 4 and demon souls

I am speaking quality wise

CrimsonWing69182d ago

Holy sh*t that looks good! I hope they don't censor it.

GamerRN181d ago

What is there to censor, I never played 3

An Xbox adventure in the jungle

BehindTheRows182d ago

*A multiplatform adventure in the jungle.

autobotdan182d ago

Mentions xbox on n4g. Prepares for nasty n4g comments replys

BehindTheRows182d ago

I mean, you can say that to yourself while you're drugged up on Xbox pills. Changes nothing. :)

autobotdan182d ago

Man you get insulted whan someone mentions xbox. You might need medicine

BehindTheRows181d ago

"Insulted" — says the guy running around like a headless chicken trying to convince folks to care about his favorite box. Ok champ!

BehindTheRows181d ago (Edited 181d ago )

If you actually have a counter argument to this being a multiplatform game and how "A multiplatform adventure in the jungle" was a "nasty reply", I'm all ears.

I'll even help you... what is the counter to this being a multiplatform game and why is that a nasty reply?

autobotdan181d ago (Edited 181d ago )

I was never in any argument or debate. You accused me of being on xbox pills. That was a nasty reply. I am done here. Not going to waste my time here

BehindTheRows181d ago (Edited 181d ago )

I mean, if someone responds to you with a factual correction and you reply with "Xbox xbox xbox", I'm not sure what kind of response should be expected.

If someone replied with "Ps ps ps", I'm sure you would wonder what is going on, especially if nothing wrong was said to you.

autobotdan181d ago

A factual correction?? What the..? I'm very confused here What were you correcting?

BehindTheRows181d ago

I thought you were done? :P

Answer: it's just as much a PlayStation/PC adventure as it is Xbox.

autobotdan181d ago

So i hurt your feelings by not mentioning Playstation/pc on an Xbox event article correct?

BehindTheRows181d ago

Hurt MY feelings? Once again, if someone replies with "Xbox xbox xbox", it's clear that they are affected by something more than they should be. You then double down with some BS about N4G (like this place is immune to trash talked about anyone else but them).

Plus, I thought you were leaving? You can't help yourself. XD

Unreal Engine...how disappointing.

Apovyk182d ago

UE5 is the best looking engine on the market today - why is that disappointing?

RedDeadLB182d ago

Because, at the moment, the most technically problematic and disappointing games run on it. 540p upscaled next gen goodness.

DarXyde182d ago

Disappointing if resolution is a huge deal for you.

Personally, I feel a re-tooled FOX Engine would have done great. If it was a PS5/PC only title, I think Decima would have been an excellent choice.
