The Metal Gear Solid Remasters Will Not Have Keyboard/Mouse Support On PC

According to a now-deleted store page, none of the Metal Gear Solid games will have keyboard and mouse support on PC.

Flawlessmic306d ago

why would you even want to play these games with a mouse and keyboard lol

porkChop306d ago

Why not? While I prefer controller for 3rd person games I still recognize that not everyone wants to use a controller.

RaidenBlack304d ago

@Flawlessmic
Because not everybody likes to play holding a controller? Irrespective of the fact that the game might be more enjoyable whilst playing using a controller.
Releasing a software on PC and saying it won't support the platform's default input hardware, lol.

luckytrouble306d ago

Everyone has their own preference. Why do you assume everyone wants to play everything with a controller? Is it suddenly a bad thing if people actually have access to their preferred control method? Believe it or not, ending a comment with "lol" as if it's just so darn obvious does not suddenly make your point valid or good.

Flawlessmic306d ago

they are 3rd person action games, they don't lend themselves to being played via keyboard and mouse, just seems like a very imprecise way to play them.

itd be like me trying to play starcraft with a controller, the thought is funny to me as that would just be weird.

anyways didnt mean to insult, just seems a weird way to play those games, id say konami agrees.

Omegasyde306d ago

^ played StarCraft N64 just fine (KBM still was preferred though).

The point is why not have the option to?

Flawlessmic306d ago

like i said didnt mean to insult and obvs allowing people a choice is preferred.

all i meant was it seems a weird way to play, nothing more nothing less

FinalFantasyFanatic306d ago

@Flawlessmic,
3rd person action games are perfect for Keyboard and Mouse, don't know how you could ever justify otherwise.

Number1TailzFan306d ago

@FinalFantasyFanatic

Indeed, keyboard and mouse is ideal for quite a few game types, like management/sim style games, RTS, first person, third person.

Then you have racing/fighting games etc which work better with a controller.

FinalFantasyFanatic305d ago

Okay guys, if you're going to disagree, you'll have to justify your sh**y opinion, how does 3rd person not work with a Keyboard and Mouse?

@Number1TailzFan,
I agree that Racing games and Fighting games are better with a controller, I can make do with K&M on racing games, but it's not ideal, a racing wheel would be best, but I don't want to fork out for it. And I just can't do fighting games with a K&M, I've tried, but it's impossible, I need the D-Pad at least, I can't do the circular D-Pad motions with a K&M.

I would, but if it doesn't support it, I'll just use a blue tooth controller, I have an 8bit do controller just for this reason.

just_looken306d ago

not a excuse when the old ones were on pc mgs 1 mgs 2

Keyboard/mouse worked then it can work now

Kinda weird but I'm sure someone will mode it in there on PC. Where there is a will there is a way.

Double_O_Revan306d ago

Wasn't MGS1 released on PC back in the day? What were the controls back then? Surely it had keyboard support.

just_looken306d ago

That one and mgs2 are on pc with full kb/m support

GOG has both if you got a pc check them out

This may be the wrong article to ask this on, but I genuinely have a question: is Metal Gear Solid Delta really set to just be the same game, but just with a graphics overhaul? I read somewhere they were just going to reuse Metal Gear Solid 3's dialogue and soundbites, but I want to know if this has been confirmed or anything...

DarXyde306d ago

Last I checked, that's correct. So... David Hayter as BB, no new recordings, etc. Functionally a very safe remake.

Monstieur305d ago (Edited 305d ago )

MGS makes use of the pressure sensitive face buttons and triggers on the PS2 controller to aim down sights / fire and peek around corners. If you had a fake controller, you couldn't play the game properly.

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.

Popsicle39d 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.

Snookies12184d 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.

neutralgamer1992183d 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

CrimsonWing69184d ago

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

GamerRN183d ago

What is there to censor, I never played 3

An Xbox adventure in the jungle

BehindTheRows184d ago

*A multiplatform adventure in the jungle.

autobotdan183d ago

Mentions xbox on n4g. Prepares for nasty n4g comments replys

BehindTheRows183d ago

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

autobotdan183d ago

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

BehindTheRows183d ago

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

BehindTheRows183d ago (Edited 183d 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?

autobotdan183d ago (Edited 183d 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

BehindTheRows183d ago (Edited 183d 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.

autobotdan183d ago

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

BehindTheRows183d ago

I thought you were done? :P

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

autobotdan183d ago

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

BehindTheRows183d 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.

Apovyk184d ago

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

RedDeadLB184d ago

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

DarXyde184d 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.
