I wasn’t a fan of Twin Snakes. The director butchered the character in the worst way. I don’t consider this canon at all.

But the texture work is subtle. It’s more in line of how I remembered Twin Snakes opposed to how it actually looked.

Well it's canon in terms of story, since it's a remake of MGS1.

But I agree, the MGS2 engine does not work with the MGS1 setting.

CobraKai2165d ago

Story yes, events no. Snake backflipping to dodge Revolver Ocelots shot was out of character. If someone were to ask me if I remember that part, the answer is no. When Kojima directed part the original, he hired a military advisor, Motosoda Mori, to keep elements of the game, including Snake, grounded in reality. Even if the scenario was fantastical. If you noticed, Snake didn’t act like a fool, like he did in Twin Snakes, in Kojima Metal Gears.

It's a remake of MGS, how can it be non canon?

CobraKai2165d ago

It’s not canon. Solid Snake never backflipped to dodge a sniper bullet, kick a sniper rifle into the air, spin around and kill Sniper Wolf. No. Not canon!!!

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.

neutralgamer1992138d ago

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

Demetrius138d ago

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

Terry_B138d 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

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.

JunonZanon138d ago

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

-Foxtrot138d ago

Especially if they create one giant expanded map over hubs.

TricksterArrow138d 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.

You can stream Heavenly Sword via PS Plus Premium.

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 Butt128d ago

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

hiawa23137d 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.

thesoftware730492d 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.

Jingsing492d ago

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

MehmetAlperTR491d ago

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

CrimsonWing69492d 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_Bomb492d ago

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