Metal Gear Solid Delta dev: they wanted to be "almost too faithful" it's not "a Hideo Kojima game"

A faithful remake of a beloved game, like in the case of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, can be tricky. Finding the balance between retaining what made the original special and modernizing elements that haven't aged well is a tall task for any developer. But according to production producer Noriaki Okamura in the second episode of Konami's Metal Gear Production Hotline video series, the team would still rather come down on the side of being "almost too faithful" and maintain the original design of Snake Eater.

This has to be one of the most transparent looks at a producer's role where they actually analyze negative response.

Can't believe I'm saying this but... Konami is doing a good job so far?!

It was more of a logical choice rather than a negative one. if they would have kept the original "a hideo kojima game" for MGS Delta in particular, Kojima would have likely requested the quote to be taken down. because he is not directly working on Delta.

I was talking about the whole video in general, not just the headline.

They are actually touching upon some of the comments from the media responses and stuff. And I think they are treading very well.

I guess we're going to have different interpretations of faithful after you discarded the original's sepia visual filter and made The Boss look more like a recovering alcoholic.

I'm sure they is some copyright law or something that will make them have to give some sort of credit to Kojima, and it's gonna burn them up inside.

porkChop243d ago

Kojima doesn't own the trademark to MGS. They don't have to credit him at all. It's Konami's IP.

RhinoGamer88243d ago

Shame, this is now a discount purchase for me.

jambola242d ago

depends, story elements, leave them the same
it is a hideo kojima game, you're just remaking it
I hope this isn't some pre-emptive "sometimes you have update things for the times and change certain things for modern audiences" bullshit

MGS Delta Snake Eater remake leaves an MGS4 remaster in a tricky spot

The Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater remake is great news for MGS3 fans, but the MGS Master Collection could signal trouble for a potential MGS4 remaster.

If they decide to make a MGS4 remake will it still be exclusive to Playstation? That's what I wanna know. It shouldn't

Petebloodyonion713d ago

If it’s a remaster or à port they would probably make itt on other platforms.
Buy, if it’s a remake I would expect Sony to push hard into making it exclusive.

Snookies12713d ago (Edited 713d ago )

There's zero chance that they'll do a remake for MGS4. And honestly, it doesn't even need one. A remaster is perfectly fine because the game STILL looks great to this day. Just touch up the textures, give us native or upscaled 4k with a stable 60 FPS and it'll be golden.

EazyC713d ago

We'll see about this remake.. MGS is such a sacred cow of videogames that there are so many ways they could screw it up.

CobraKai713d ago

Yeah. As excited as I am for Delta, I’m also very wary. This can be very good or very very bad.

RNTody712d ago

I agree, but I've also grown more confident in remakes after Shadow of the Colossus, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 4 and Mafia: Definitive Edition, which wasn't half bad. I think Capcom certainly raised the bar and everyone worth their salt will aim for that standard.

Metal Gear Solid 3 is one of my favourite games of all time from my favourite series of all time, so I sincerely hope they don't screw it up.

CrimzonRaven713d ago (Edited 713d ago )

I bet that if they ever realease a Mgs 4 remake, In todays age it will be multi plat. Aka Xbox/PC also.
The age of exclusive seems to be over almost totally so as i said in an other article.
Ps5 is gonna be my last console thats for sure, No need to by a console if everyhting go multi so next gen its time to upgrade the PC again with a new cpu and graphic card.Gonna keep my ps5 though but for sure not by a ps6
But in all fairness, We dont need a remake of Mgs4, We just need a 4k /60fps version of it and im happy.
I rather take a remake of Mgs1+2 anyday but thats just probabaly just me

tagzskie713d ago

they should remake mg and mg solid snake first so we can experience that in current gen glory

Gardenia712d ago

MGS1 and MGS3 are the classic games in the series. Those two games are remake material. MGS4 is not.
