Finally

Reading the article though

"More to follow"

I thought that wasn't allowed when submitting them

blitz0623547d ago

What bothers me more about this article is the writer calling delta a triangle

goldwyncq547d ago

Triangle = 3 sides

Kinda weird that they used Delta when it has a value of 4 in the Greek alphabet.

PS officially tweeted as: Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
Xbox officially tweeted as: Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater

I hope we get Metal Gear Solid 4 someday. Might be to difficult because of the PS3 Cell processor

jeromeface546d ago

It would have to be remade like 3 is being done...

neutralgamer1992547d ago

And coming to Xbox too which is good news since that means more gamers will get to play this game and hopefully more games would get remake treatment

Looking at you MGS2

Hopefully there is a way Sony and Konami can work out something and bring MGS4 to current platforms

BehindTheRows547d ago

MGS4 would come to PS5 and, perhaps, PC.

"more gamers will get to play this game" - agreed, which is why companies shouldn't be acquiring publishers.

In any event, I'm quite excited to check this out! Looking forward to more!

Snookies12547d ago

It did say Volume 1, right? Meaning we might just see MGS4 included in the second batch of remasters.

NoFanBoy547d ago

Would be awesome we need a remake or remaster.

Snookies12547d ago (Edited 547d ago )

@NoFanBoy - Absolutely, MGS4 was an incredible wrap-up to the series. It's hard to say if it's my favorite, since 1-3 are all incredible in their own unique ways. Either way, it's very sad that it's never seen a remaster or port. I think that's why we got the remasters announced in "volumes." They're probably using the HD versions from PS4 for 1-3. Since MGS4 has never been remastered, they're staggering the release so they can work on it for the volume 2 package.

SonyStyled547d ago

It would be awesome to have mgs4 on the current generation. I wonder if the scene with psycho mantis would remain original or be edited for the new platforms it’s running on

Ready4nxtgen546d ago

I'm sure Volume 2 would have MGS4, MGS Twin snakes and probably peace walker

I’m all for Mgs coming to Xbox. The franchise needs to live again. The more successful it is, the better.

Hofstaderman547d ago

They were always on XBOX with the exception of MGS1 and 4

Hofstaderman547d ago

Yeah but Series S… I hope this is not going to hamper what it could be.

jeromeface546d ago

@snookies12 there were no remasters on the ps4... the HD remasters were on ps3.

Any improvements to MGS 1-3 or are they expecting people to pay through the nose for another port?

Shane Kim547d ago

I bet they are the same old games with no improvments. Nice to have them all in one place though.

porkChop547d ago

So is this why they delisted the HD Collection last year?

neutralgamer1992547d ago

Buy these before they delist them

Honestly these companies can’t be trusted now a days

CobraKai547d ago

I’m totally paying through the nose for my favorite games.

Does Metal Gear Solid need a new Kojima? Konami have “many people” in mind, but it's "difficult"

It's not going to be the same without him regardless so honestly it would probably be better just to try to do your own thing while staying in the same genre and general gameplay style.

just_looken83d ago

This but also the story is wrapped up only thing to expanded on is another mgs rising or spin offs.

-Foxtrot83d ago

I mean they could have done an alternate timeline directly after MGS2 which just tells a new story, that way they get to continue Snakes journey while respecting Kojimas final chapter, his Universe would still be untouched.

Maybe in this new game Snake didn't age

They will eventually try to continue the story, it's a given so I'd rather have them doing an alternative timeline than messing with what Kojima has done.

just_looken83d ago

@Foxtrot

You mean before shadow moses as that is when he was injected with fox die anyone knows that.

If they went this route then it would open up a flood gate of crap the topics they covered the deaths blood scenes would never work in today's modern games.

TheProfessional83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

The story in metal gear solid 4 was already a huge step down from the first three. Then the story in V was minimized and totally forgettable. One of Kojimas art directors could definitely make a solid metal gear sequel.

Also when you compare Stranding to Kojimas previous games he could easily be a Neil Druckman type where most of his best ideas were from people he worked with.

For example all of the MGS covers and the art style associated with Metal Gear wasn't even created by Kojima.

just_looken83d ago

comparing Neil Druckman ahole coffee fetcher to someone that worked in the industry from the days of msx should get you a ban.

Michiel198983d ago

just cause he made one game that you didn't completely like?

just_looken83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

@Michiel1989

Because he took a ip that he had no right to say he created but does then at every interview he act's he is the father of naughty dog and a god at game development even the tvshow i will not watch.

People that worked there sense the 90's crash days were thrown out over 85% from the last count 2 years ago of the original team is gone majority left when he took over.

Sony looked at all the people that made jax/crash/uncharted/tlou leaving naughty dog went meh then praised neil gave him the keys to the kingdom. Sense then the entire team has been a dam joke they only made 1 new game in 6 years just a port studio now.

Oh i also like the tlou2 mp mode they promised that was changed then cancelled but hey tlou2 ported 3rd time for pc pay pay pay again like skyrim.

Fuck ND fuck naughty dog 2.0

Michiel198982d ago

mate... you already compared him to a guy that was 16 years older than him and then ask why he hasnt worked in the industry as long as kojima. Time exists.

Do you really think all of ND will let Neill flaunt around if he didn't have a severe impact on how the game turned out? So you're saying the rest of ND is stupid that they're playing along with his masterplan to take over ND.

It's pretty obvious from your comment you're just salty about tlou2. You didn't like a direction he took the game in, stop acting like he's a terrible human being.

So they should keep making the games they make now and never make anything else...cause thats how uncharted and Horizon came about, oh wait. TLOU would never have existed if you had your way, they would be making jak n dexter 13. I rather have them try something new and fail at it than never try to do anything else ever.

CrimsonWing6983d ago

I think someone could take the torch, but they’d really have to be a mega fan and understand the narrative and quirkiness and humor of MGS and just Kojima’s design principles. Make bosses that revolve around “themes” and “gimmicks” and bring freaking David Hayter back for the English dub.

Tankbusta4083d ago

I have been saying for years that Kojima is not needed to continue this franchise. Revolver Ocelot could have a trilogy on his own with the established lore and it would be fantastic

MehmetAlperTR83d ago

No Hideo ! No MGS !!! Just try to work with him.

The Decline of Stealth Games Has Been Sad To See

Salman From Tech4Gamers writes "Once a big deal in gaming, stealth gaming, all about sneaking around, planning, and staying cool under pressure, seems to have faded away."

DaReapa143d ago

"The decline of the stealth genre can be traced back to several factors. One big problem is that many games today sacrifice stealth for more action-packed scenes.

Even titles labelled as “stealth” often turn into loud shootouts soon after starting. The emphasis has shifted from sneaky strategies to just charging in and shooting, with stealth almost forgotten."

And that's what disappointed me the most about MGS4. While still a good game, it largely abandoned it's stealth roots that made the series so compelling. Since, I've gotten my stealth fix from the likes of TLOU, Hitman, and less popular tiles like Shadow Tactics.

Lexreborn2143d ago

Hmm, MGS4 had the same liberties as all prior MGS games. You could do a complete stealth no kill run in mgs4 with no issue. While also giving a large array of gameplay variations that enhanced the experience.

No MG game except Revengeance has not been able to have complete stealth runs.

DaReapa142d ago

@Lexreborn2
True, there were indeed non lethal runs in MGS4. Perhaps I used the wrong wording, but I was more so referring to the 'guns blazing' aspect of the gameplay. This was something that wasn't easily accomplished in the prior games of the series. One reason being that you had limited ammo. In MGS4, you had virtually all the arsenal and ammo you'd ever need early on in the game by way of Drebin points. This alone made stealth all but unnecessary, and resulted in a much easier game than previous entries. That's what the article's alluding to.

BISHOP-BRASIL142d ago

@DaReapa

You could go guns blazing even in MGS1, I know 'cause I sucked at stealth at the time and I still beat that game by simply going gung ho on the lowest difficulty and replaying multiple parts over and over 'till I eventually made it.. And it was never the case that the games simply allowed you to just play Rambo instead of a spy with no punishment, you always had a much harder time trying to be a one man army on higher difficulties than just being furtive, so it was always very much stealth first and foremost, the supposed appeal to action in MGS4 was never an issue, they added more weapons and tactics which made all out war a more viable option in some parts but not all of the game and never the ideal course of action. In fact MGS4 have, just like all other MGS games (even the open world unfinished mess that was MGS5), a score system which will rank your run and the point system, like always, favored stealth, non-lethal approaches... Not only the rank/emblem is tied to playing stealth, the game had multiple item unlocks and trophies which you could only ever get by playing it furtively... Hardly anything required you to play guns blazing.

So can we please stop making bullshit up about MGS4 already? I don't know if you were mad the game skipped your platform of choice in favor of the PS3 or if it devalued your life achievement of beating a silly game by being a little more accessible or whatever else was the issue, but it was some 15 years ago, it's time to let go of this whole they abandoned stealth bullshit, they never did that, in fact, it was the second best stealth mechanics in the entire franchise, behind only MGSV, which allowed an even more complex stealth system (and even more open combat too if you wished, because that's what the increasing technology of different generations allowed) but I would argue MGS4 still took more advantage of their stealth mechanics than MGSV ever realized (largely because of open world vs linear structure, but still...). Yes, you could play like a normal shooter action adventure, but you could even more easily had played it like one of the best stealth action games ever. If you choose not to, that's on you.

Snookies12142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

MGS 4 most certainly did not abandon its stealth roots. As someone who got pretty much every rank you could achieve in that game. I can assure you, that is not the case.

cloganart142d ago

Should play MGSV - great stealth mechanics.

PrecursorOrb142d ago

In my opinion as far as modern stealth mechanics and freedom of approach I think V is the best we’ve had so far

BlackCountryBob143d ago

Interesting, I would however add that I think part of the decline in interest in many recent stealth games, Assassin’s Creed as a prime example, has been that instead of the stealth play being the fun, it’s been RPG’d as a character choice akin to playing as a mage or a thief with all the same drawbacks and things which turns many players away (upgrade grinding, obscure overly complex skill and equipment upgrade trees). One thing about MGS, Splinter Cell, early Hitman and early Assassin's Creed etc was that they were games you picked up and played with the game the feature, not supplemental to homework hidden in the pause menu.

Fist4achin142d ago

There out there. You just never hear about them.

anast142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

The novelty has worn off for 'pure' stealth games. They are too tedious. I personally like a good mix.

tombfan142d ago

Cyberpunk 2077 can be a stealth game if you want to... a pretty decent one too.
