Metal Gear Solid 1 PS4 Remake Hits Kickstarter

Marcus Estrada writes: "If there's one thing that we at Cliqist never wished to have to see again it would be campaigns running which obviously have no concept of patents, trademarks, or any of that "pesky" legal ownership stuff. Sure, they provide a good laugh, but they certainly don't serve the crowdfunding community in any positive way. The latest obvious infraction comes to us via Metal Gear Solid 1 PS4 Remake by Tom. It basically tells you everything you'd need to know in the title - this Tom person wants to make (or at least scam people on the idea of) a PS4 remake of the classic PlayStation game Metal Gear Solid."

Vandamme213366d ago

Why do another remake...they remade the game already on the GameCube....just give us an hd remake of twin snakes

Summons753366d ago

No, a remake would be way better. Twin Snakes was awful and didn't feel anything like MGS1. Original was way better and by most interviews (about a MGS1 remake) even Kojima pretends it doesn't exist.

spacedelete3366d ago

did't Kojima use Twin Snakes footage in MGS4 flashbacks ?

TheCagyDies3366d ago (Edited 3366d ago )

@spacedelete
He used the voice overs from Twins Snakes in MGS4 at least with Gray Fox.
For example: You can hear Rob Paulsen's voice in MGS4 instead of the original PSX one with Greg Eagles (Who also voiced Donald Anderson).

Mainman3366d ago

The Gamecube one was pretty bad tbh. I would love an MGS1 remake though.

Wizard_King3366d ago (Edited 3366d ago )

Unless this is Kojima doing this and I can't see why he would use kickstarter this will not fly.

Metal Gear Solid is a licensed trademark owned by Kojima Studios. So yeah, they will have it shut down or they will sue, I hope they do to.

...read the article...

Some bloke called Tom is doing this. Official this will not be happening lol, shut down by the end of the week and lawsuit incoming.

This is all BS people nothing to see here, move along.

No MGS1 remake to be seen here.

breakpad3366d ago

@Vandamme21 are you trolling right ??? Twin Snakes is an abomination and i wonder how Kojima hasnt disown it yet and say clearly that is not canon and a mistake in his Saga (although he has hinted it a lot of times)

Neo_Zeed3366d ago

TTS would have been awesome if they had just left the audio untouched. But sadly they butchered the audio which killed the whole experience.

Azzanation3366d ago

@Summons

Wtf are you talking about? Twins snakes *IS* the PS1 version. How is the PS1 version better when the GC version is a superior upgrade in all aspects?

I own both versions and GC version destroys the PS1 version. The PS1 version characters didnt even have faces.

user55757083366d ago

twin snakes wasn't awful but that must be some good rock you're smoking. a remake would be awesome it just better have most of the original voice cast. sorry keifer you need to sit this one out

jcnba283366d ago

What are you talking about? Twin Snakes was awesome,still my fav MGS game to date. If you want an awful MGS game look no further than MGS4.

UnHoly_One3365d ago

I am by no means an MGS fan, I think they are terrible games.

That said: Twin Snakes is by far the least terrible of them all. I liked that game back in the day, way better than the original.

Neonridr3365d ago

Twin Snakes has an 85 on metacritic and received glowing praise for taking a great game and trying to improve upon it. How can it be a bad game? The only gripes you could have about it is the voiceovers.. the game itself is a carbon copy of the original with enhanced visuals..

should I trust this advice knowing its coming from Solidous?

George Sears3366d ago

Kid, I'm the only Snake you shouldn't doubt.

OrangePowerz3366d ago

No thanks on the NGC version. Kojima was watching too much Matrix at that time and made the cutscenes basically to be like Matrix. Not to mention all the bad soundtrack changes that they made as example when Sniper Wolf dies or when Meryll gets shot by her.

Kurylo3d3366d ago (Edited 3366d ago )

In point of fact.. kojima had nothing to do with the twin snakes remake. It was outsourced to another company called silicon knights... think it was the same company that epic games counter sued lol... Wonder if they are even still in buisness.

But I agree with you.. when you see solid snake carwheel over a door because he wants to get a better view of a conversation... i just shake my head and realize.. these people have no idea who or what solid snake is. lol.. hes not a super hero..

OrangePowerz3366d ago

I'm very well aware of the fact that Silicon Knights made Twin Snakes, but the cutscenes had been done the way Kojima wanted it. Silicon Knights didn't make the cutscenes instead Kojima hired a Japanese director he wanted to make the cutscenes and they all had to be approved by Kojima, just like the rest of the game.

Xman2K3366d ago (Edited 3366d ago )

LEAVE MGS1 alone. Twin snakes was OK, but the original was the best and purest experience. The raw voice acting alone was brilliant. As others on N4G stated, make a remake of MG1 or MG2 (KJPro only), heck even Snakes Revenge(indie), just let MGS live on without any changes, heck the different tones and musical cues in the Twin Snakes alone ticked me off

@Orangepowerz, absolutely correct, you can tell the true MGS fans

Kurylo3d3366d ago

Actually i think snakes revenge was the one that konami tried to make without kojima.. and then kojima came back and made metal gear 2 solid snake. Made it so snakes revenge didnt exist in the story. Non canon.

Xman2K3366d ago

I know, but nonetheless it was actually ok, and if an indie Dev wants to remake it, I wouldn't mind, but leave all canon metal gears to kojima productions is what I meant.

Joe9133366d ago

There were some things added to that game that even Kojima himself did not like that is why it is not canon. So just remake the original from ground up in fox engine nothing wrong with that.

avengers19783366d ago

Why not a remake of 1-4 a collection would be cool.

MehmetAlperTR3366d ago

I played both of them. But Twin Snake was awfull because of Musics. Without Rika Muranaka... Without The Best Is Yer To Come music.. so terrible..

Malice-Flare3365d ago

as much as i like Twin Snakes, Kojima made the game as a favor to Miyamoto for the Gamecube. i doubt Konami has sole authority to port it to other systems...

better let Kojima make the remake, i can't wait to see how much more over-the-top he can make it...

Eamon3366d ago

This kickstarter seems so fraudulent lol. No evidence of any work done so far. Using the Fox Engine? For PS4? Clearly taking people for a ride here.

Blastoise3366d ago

I'm amazed it's even allowed to be honest. Using Konami's copyrighted artwork too. I didn't realise it was so easy to rob people on Kickstarter

garyanderson3366d ago

Kickstarter is horrible at filtering projects, they really don't try. They just catch them when people report them. It's sad.

DemonChicken3366d ago

The rewards are kind of hilarious, it's so obvious. $10 for the game and oh look, $40 again for the game!

Tony-Red-Grave3366d ago

As much as I love to see all og MGS1 look like the shadow mosses in MGS4, or better. A full remake probably wouldn't work because of how much the gameplay would need to change.

gamerfan09093366d ago

I will never understand peoples obsession with playing old games with improved graphics. JUst will never get it.

Bathyj3366d ago

I'd poison rice everyone in this room for a Tenchu remake with updated graphics and controls.

DemonChicken3366d ago

YES!!! I do the same with an new Onimusha & Dino Crisis but this is capcom I'm talking about

I am still clinging on hope for a tenchu though considering this is still live - http://www.tenchu.net/ think the latest thing was stage play =( http://www.animenewsnetwork...

ZombieKiller3366d ago

but then why poison rice when you have TENCHU! It's way more fun to kill in that game!

Onimusha.....if only. I freaking wish. I would die if 1,2 and 3 were all in 1080 on 1 disc.

Bathyj3366d ago

It sounded a bit harsh to say I'd slit all your throats from behind. I toned it down a bit.

Because people like myself like to replay old games? As much as I like the old games they didn't age very well. Especially not on PS1 and before, playing them on an HDTV looks really bad unless you some converters.

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.

Snookies12183d 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

CrimsonWing69183d ago

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

GamerRN182d 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

BehindTheRows182d ago

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

BehindTheRows182d ago (Edited 182d 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?

autobotdan182d ago (Edited 182d 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

BehindTheRows182d ago (Edited 182d 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.

autobotdan182d ago

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

BehindTheRows182d ago

I thought you were done? :P

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

autobotdan182d ago

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

BehindTheRows182d 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.

Apovyk183d ago

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

RedDeadLB183d 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.
