Metal Gear Solid VS. Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "We’ve reached the penultimate article in our look at whether an original game stayed the best version or was it overturned by its remake and for this week’s take we are looking at one of the greatest games ever made – Metal Gear Solild. From the moment we first stepped foot on Shadow Moses Island to the climactic final we were hooked with this game and its incredible storytelling and gameplay and there’s no doubt that it’s not only a classic but a landmark title in all of gaming. So while no one is denying that we do have to ask – which version is better the original or the GameCube remake, The Twin Snakes."

Can we please get Twin Snakes on Switch remastered Konami? This past March they were in talks (with Nintendo) about what games to bring to Switch and this should be tops...lol. It's still my favorite MGS game ever.

bouzebbal2579d ago

i still have my twin snaked copy 2 mini-CDs

Moonman2579d ago

Improved gameplay, voice acting and graphics over the original .......did you even play it??....lol.

General Shrooms2579d ago

it doesn't suck but the original is better.

They took a bunch of liberties in twin snakes that were pretty dumb. Like snake pointing a gun at baker, or snake flipping over a door.

Knushwood Butt2578d ago

Yes, I have played it. In fact, I played it on Gamecube before I played the original, as I never had a PS1.

I finally got to play the original via PS1 classics on PS3 and PSP, and the original is best, IMO.

SpaceRanger2579d ago

Isn’t it just a better remake? How can it suck??

I get the nostalgia argument one could make when comparing the two, but it’s not that different based on what I’ve seen.

Moonman2579d ago

He simply hasn't played it. They even used the updated voice acting from Twin Snakes in MGS4 (2008) flashbacks because it was that improved.

Z5012578d ago

1 example
Because you can go first person. The Gray Fox fight in the office is broken.

Knushwood Butt2578d ago

This article is much better. It contains some bad language:

Vanfernal2579d ago

I agree. The voice acting was not on par with the original with some of the actors sounding dull in comparison (especially Naomi), the MGS2 gameplay mechanics didn't go with the simplistic layout of the original game at all, you could literally start an area and snipe everyone with the tranq gun without moving from the same spot, the super human Solid Snake was bs... Originally he takes down the Hind D just by shooting at it, now he jumped, bounced from a missile, did a backflip and then shot the rocket. Liquid Snake talking to Snake while doing flips walking on a hand rail. It just felt unnecessarily cheesy.

PhantomS422579d ago

The original will always be better. They dropped the ball so hard with Twin Snakes by trying to make him to flips everywhere.

Moonman2579d ago

I didn't own a PS1, and the graphics looked finished in Twin Snakes. Many PS1 games look unfinished (Miyamoto said that exact statement). I can't go back. Not now at least..lol. Maybe in 2000, but Twin Snakes came out in 2004. No looking back for me.

TheOttomatic912579d ago

I’m sorry but Twin Snakes will always be an abomination to me, it’s a shame because if Kojima has full directorial control like he did all other MGS games then we may have had a remake the same quality as REmake

Video Games That Will Never Release Again

Some games you just know are going to stand the test of time, being released and re-released multiple times over the years, or will simply have a legacy that’s built to endure. Meanwhile, there are other games that, for whatever reason, are simply never coming back.

Aye..this is why Emulation is important.

The Punisher was soo damn good. Nailed Garth Ennis take on the character very well. For me still one of the best comic book adaptions ever made.

neutralgamer1992132d ago

Punisher and Simpsons both should get remakes. That's easy money for whoever does it

Demetrius132d ago

I might have to order punisher for my ps2 soon, I watched gameplay it looks good

Terry_B132d ago

If you like the character, even read some of the comics you might like the game a lot. It was an excellent third person shooter with many nice ideas that fit Frank and even had a nice story full with characters from the Garth Ennis run

victorMaje132d ago (Edited 132d ago )

Where is NOLF!
That they couldn’t find a way to work out the legal stuff to bring it back is one of the greatest tragedies in gaming history.

JunonZanon132d ago

A Hit and Run remake or even remaster would be dope.

-Foxtrot132d ago

Especially if they create one giant expanded map over hubs.

TricksterArrow132d ago

Def Jam. Great and fun game they will never be re-released. There is just no way to secure all the copyrights for the tracks, voices and likenesses used in this game.

Knushwood Butt132d ago

You can stream Heavenly Sword via PS Plus Premium.

hiawa23131d ago

Streaming PS3 games to PS5 is not good which is why my PS3 is still connected. I hope you know that, but thanks for chiming in.

Knushwood Butt122d ago

Well, I played through the campaign of Resistance 3 via streaming and it was pretty good.

hiawa23131d ago

And before someone states the obvious of streaming PS3 games to PS5. Um, no, streaming PS3 games is pretty bad.

I think your enjoyment of Twin Snakes comes down to if you played the PS1 original first or not.

thesoftware730486d ago

Not really, Played and enjoyed both when they were released.

The original was better, but TTS had that Jon Woo charm, and was enjoyable all the way through.

Jingsing486d ago

The original soundtrack was missing in Twin Snakes and for me audio is half the experience. Original OST was iconic.

MehmetAlperTR485d ago

Thats the reason that i didnt like the game... Graphics not everything.

CrimsonWing69486d ago

The only things that held this back for me were Naomi's voice acting and the music being changed when you end Sniper Wolf in the cutscene.

Other than that I thought the cutscenes and game were absolutely phenomenal.

P_Bomb486d ago

Still have my copy. One of the first games I hunted down for my GameCube.
