I'm surprised that Konami is doing better than Capcom in that regard

@@the_pentah00k58 Yes. RE4 is more reimagined than remake. I wanted the 1:1 remake.

What I read from the PlayStation announcement was it’s going to be as close to the original as possible, mainly focusing on graphics, controls, and music (licensing issues that come with almost every msg game)

@@relu419 I was talking about how Capcom hasn't released ports of classic RE 2 & 3

@@the_pentah00k58 I know. It's more a connection + this: "1-1 remake so that gives me hope".

Cause the gaming industry is fuckin TRASH.. sooo little good games have come out in the past 3 years nothin but remakes..

MSGV part 2 with chapter 3 and a bit more build up for operation interlude

seconded

yes id like to aswell because it sems people either love or hate metal gear. i never had someone love it and then just stop lol

I cannot speak for anyone else but I can relate to going from seeing MGS as the pinnacle of gaming to not liking them much anymore. I used to be absolutely obsessed. MGS planted the seed for my obsession, and I loved MGS2 so much that I considered it my favorite game of all time. I also loved MGS3. For years, pretty much all of my conversations with friends included MGS quotes and voiceover imitations. When MGS4 came out I was in a really rough place in my life, a week away from being homeless, and I didn't have a PS3. I preordered and bought MGS4 anyway and rented an HDTV, playing through that game twice in the very stressful last week of having a place to live. I say all that just to illustrate, to some extent at least, my prior obsession with the series. Something happened though. It's hard to explain, but fastforward by the time Ground Zeroes came out, I just couldn't be bothered to care much. I played the demo. I haven't played Phantom Pain at all, nor have I felt compelled to. I was content watching the cutscenes on KZfaq, but they pretty much verified to me that my love for MGS wasn't really a thing anymore. I don't have any interest in replaying the old ones either, not now anyway, even MGS2. Maybe at some point I will. Part of that is simply probably because I overplayed them in the past. I can't imagine ever sitting through all the cutscenes and codec conversations in any of those games again, though skipping cutscenes used to be absolutely blasphemous to me. Those games are full of brilliant ideas, but those ideas are so ingrained in me now that I am numb. I think I always had some awareness that they were kind of poorly-paced games with bloated narrative, but what worked about it made the pros far outweigh the cons. Last time I tried to play MGS4 really showed me how much my perception I changed. It was a chore for me to get through. I didn't even find the writing to be that good, though I ate it up like a cat going wild on treats the first time around. I would go so far as to call MGS4 a bad game now, which makes me sad, because you already know what it meant to me back when it came out. I don't know. I think we all grow differently. Sometimes we grow in different directions from what we used to love. Sometimes life changes our priorities. Sometimes we burn ourselves out irrevocably. To me, this MGS3 remake looks bad. It isn't even that I ride Kojima's "d" anymore; I used to worship the chair he farted in, but those days are long behind. But everything from the cinematography in the trailer to Snake's character design just seems really generic to me. This isn't gonna be what gets me back into MGS, that's for sure.

I don't remember it being confirmed whether the Master Collection was actually coming to Steam or not.

@@classydoctor5864 In the developer's message on the Master Collection website they said "modern platforms". Plural. But maybe im just being hopeful. If its really only Playstation, then that's ass.

I still play the HD collection on my vita.

If they don’t heavily censor the originals

@@nyfinest487 Thats where I play it usually

If the original MSX Metal Gear won’t be getting a remake anytime soon, there’s the next best thing: “Intrude N313, Target Designate: TX-55” by MaskedSongbird is a fanfic novelization of the original game that serves as the origin story for Solid Snake. So far, the story is intriguing as it felt more in line with the Solid games’ expositions of military science and the political spectrum at the time of the game’s events were set in. It expands on Snake’s younger days as a recruit and shows how a little different he was compared to the Solid games. I’m curious as to how he develops into the icon he would become. The story is currently ongoing with updates taking awhile to wait for. So, it covers the events that led to the original game such as Snake’s early days in Foxhound and then finally the mission itself. This may test you patience if you’re not into that but I believe it will be worth it. Not to mention there some continuity nods to the prequel games that doesn’t feel tacked on and is instead organic. The link to this novelization can be found in AO3: archiveofourown.org/users/MaskedSongbird/pseuds/MaskedSongbird/works?fandom_id=28625

​@@marcoa6319 no

@@marcoa6319 I fully believe that they will at some point remake them. MGS3 remake is just their testing ground because it's simpler to remake, has a much bigger following when it comes to how people view that story as Kojima's best work along with just how much the game throws at you that you can use in a myriad of ways. The only scary thing about a 1:1 remake and not modernizing some of the gameplay is unlike other 1:1 remakes of classic platformers is the gameplay is controls are simple. MGS3's controls are really hard to figure out. Not I was expecting them to give us MGS5 combat then like J says you will run into the twin snakes problem even though I think many would love a MGS3 remake that got the resident evil treatment. We know that is not what they are doing. By having MGS3 as this blueprint, having all the things that the original had but just a couple of improvements to play more like a modern game. They will not frustrate new comers and they will have a choice to make. They can do this with MGS 1-4 and peacemaker first. Or they could decide that before getting to MGS1, having MGS3 under their belt maybe they will want to fill in the gap, and have people play Solid Snakes story chronologically. Though that will only happen if they feel they are up to the task of just having a rough outline, needing to fill in the gaps of the story to flesh out and add more to it. Instead of a following a direct blueprint for each game. We have no idea what kind of talent is at Konami these days so it's hard to say. Konami would likely love if they were able to remake those original metal gear games doing a good job of it. Proving they can still do it without Kojima making people forget about survive which was the most obvious cash grab I've ever seen. They let Kojima spend so much money and time on the fox engine and MGS5 making them desperate to just get another game to get something out of it. It's actually a bit suprising that they are going for a 1:1 using unreal 5. You'd think they would be using the fox engine some more and remake the games more in line with Capcom. Having seen their success of bringing those games to a modern audience. Considering if they really don't touch up the gameplay at all, a lot of people will likely fall off in frustration over the controls and the amount of time you spend i the codec and menu.

As it’s expected, otherwise nobody will buy it. We all know the game 😄

But won't the original trilogy collection be available on modern console as well for that nostalgia trip?

@@ultraspinalki11 that’s what’s got me confused. Apart from gameplay and visuals what will the Remake provide?

@@justaguy1253 Lower quality voice acting?

Your emotions fool you boy 😂😂.

My guess is they will want to get to do so eventually but MGS3 is the safest game to make first both because you have a blueprint for whoever this new team is to follow. And because it's largely considered the best story in the series and that it's the earliest in the timeline. It's an easy way to test the appetite. Let's just hope no matter if their aim is to do what Capcom has done with their remakes, which is personally what I wish for. Even though I know it's probably going to be more in line with crash/spyro/last of us part 1. That unlike a Square Enix, Konami will have a realistic budget and sales expectations. If they go in expecting 20 million copies sold, we won't be getting more. I could see their reasoning also being because Snake Eater has a lot of different types of environments the team will have experience in creating things from scratch which Metal gear 1 and 2 remakes would require. So the question really will be are they going to want to remake them chronologically, and actually do metal gear 1 and 2 before remaking Solid. Or will they want the team to have remakes of 3, 1 and 2, maybe even 4, before having to build two games with almost zero guard rails. Since we have no idea who is making the game it's hard to say what would be best for their level of experience.

Lol theyve shown jackshit up to now

I HECKIN LOVE REMAKES! 🤓

@@godzillazfriction Good for you.

@@Vengeance289 DAMN RIGHT!

What did you think of Death Stranding?

They announced the master collection which included MGS1-3 and MG1-2 coming out in just a few months to modern platforms

​@@informalgeek1196he means full on remakes, reread his comment again 😑

i would rather we get a port of 4

Controls are fine imo.

I just need crouching honestly. Everything else is fine Remember the last time an MGS game got a remake that incorporated moves introduced in the newer games but didn't adjust level design to suit those moves and the entire balance of the game was shot in the foot?

I'd like to be able to access the survival menu without having to load a separate screen and have to wait for it to load.

@@7evan The 3DS version of MGS3 introduced crouching and I think Peace Walker Style Aiming on top of the classic first person style aiming. So in that sense its the perfect update to it, but then its stuck on the 3DS, and while the graphics were updated in some ways that are better its overall much more pixelated. Honestly if that version was combined with the original to get the best of both, then that would be ideal. It even runs on the same engine as the original if I understand correctly, so they could have retroactively added those features into the HD rerelease that's coming out.

@@GBDupree I've played that version and while loved the QOL updates from MGS 4 the frame rate was complete ass and that photo feature where you can take a picture with your 3ds camera and have it be rendered as a camouflage that you can wear completely breaks the game since you get upto 100% camouflage rating on all environments if you use the right picture. This game just kinda doesn't work on a handheld imo, Portable Ops and Peace Walker could've worked better.

10:33 - 10:38

Personally I prefer the faithful remakes, re 4 for instance I feel the original is far superior, although the remake is a wonderful game, goty material even.

@@brianfluu133 yeah, it all comes down to what you prefer. The term Remake has taken different meanings this days, you have the faithful demon souls remake, the Re remake of reimagining the originals, and the whole rabbit hole that it is FF7 remake.

I don't think FF7 or MGS 3 need faithful remakes. They're existing awesome games, redoing them would not really add anything. Faithful 1-to-1 remakes should be for games that had potential, but ended up way worse than they could've been because of minor issues. Those need the faithful, "do the same thing except properly this time". I'd be massively disappointed if mgs 3 got faithful remake. It'd just be the same game. Absolutely no reason for that project to exist. There are no obvious failures that if you fix, you improve MGS3 massively. If it's not trying to do something new, it's a pointless exercise, mgs3 already is doing fantastic job of being mgs3

It's good they did the main series before MGRR. That game is already popular enough and is more accessible than the main series. Most people haven't played any of the Solid titles and have only played Rising.

And as far as MGR goes it was made by Platinum. Konami would have such minimal work. Even a re-release.

@@Omar_E11 This is a weird cognitive dissonance I have noticed with Metal Gear fans. They insist on the absolute genius of Kojima's vision when MGR went against so much of what Kojima stands for as a game designer. Kojima had a totally different vision for MGR but Konami interfered and chose Platinum's vision instead giving us the game we all know and love.

@@doomdimensiondweller5627 I don't disagree with that. There is too much Kojima idolization and worship in the fandom.

@@Omar_E11 Yeh, I heard it said that he is the George Lucas of gaming. What this means is that he is a big idea guy who early on was under a lot of oversight and as a result his best ideas were what made it into the final product, but as time went on and he got more fame less people wanted to question him meaning his bad ideas that would have gotten filtered out made it in. In the case of George Lucas this resulted in the star wars prequals in the case of Kojima it resulted in a lot of the retcons and questionable at best story telling choices in MGS4. As well as Death Stranding.

Maybe MGS4 but definitely not peacewalker

There reusing the same voice work from the original game.

When was the last time you played? Cause you’re right but 50% of the games mandatory dialogue is redundant

You upset he gave love to someone loved the world over? Metal gear was always a very left leaning series. Also, you are aware Metal Gear 2, the second game in the series, retconned the first game yeah? Complaining about retcons later is goofy. Hell, any prequel at all, including MGS 3, is itself a retcon. Retroactively adding events that were not mentioned previously

@@informalgeek1196 "Loved the world over" except by exiled Cubans. How strange. Almost as if those who had to be under Castro's regime didn't quite like it. MGS is definitely leftist. It's also anti-Soviet. Castro did many things the Soviets did. Difference is, the retcons done by MGS4 and V ate straight terrible. Just bad. I can detail why if necessary

@@ManiacMayhem7256 don’t ask those exiled Cubans who their family members worked for. May not like the answer you receive. Most curious that the people who worked for the regime and got their things taken away like to cry about it. What retcons specifically are bad?

@@informalgeek1196 "Who they worked for" many of the exiles were long after Batista, and exiles continue to this day. It's a totalitarian dictatorship, dissenting against Castro or being gy especially back then was grounds for exile. Scarface's rant about Castro's regime wasn't make believe. Many of the retcons were bad. The nature of the Patriots heavily implied by the ending of MGS2 as well as the post credits phone call were retconned by MGS4, Liquid Ocelot was retconned by MGS4, The End was caused by parasites in V, the team of Operation Snake Eater were the founders of the Patriots, Big Boss survived so he can give us exposition and tell Snake to live, Huey deserved it, Vamp was nanomachines, Raiden gets an awful ending with Rose that is thankfully retconned by Rising, I could go on and on. Volgin living and somehow having fire powers is also one.

@@ManiacMayhem7256 you complaining about Castro of Che? You are aware these are two different people yes? Also, Cuba has been shown repeatedly to have a higher quality of living, and have a country with more direct interests for its people, than basically any other Latin American country. Period. If Che was so bad I’m sure you can actually cite a specific example of something bad that he did. Feel free

I personally prefer the voice switch. Given the content of MGSV I think further splitting BB away from snake was the right move. Also Death Stranding was awesome. Granted way more niche than Metal Gear

Twin Snakes was made by Silicon Knights, not Platinum Games

Yep, them reusing the several decades old audio files tells the whole story, it’ll be a 1:1 copy and paste version with nothing new or surprising about it and it’s such a waste of chances to reimagine a great game. So sad 😞

@@lionheart6918 They're using the original audio because bringing back the actors won't work. Hayter is in his 50's and can't do young snakes voice anymore (he's 29) in MGS3. And half of the original Japanese voice cast died.

@@JuanJohn-Raytheon I get that, but they should be casting new actors since it’s a remake and not a remaster. Reusing the very old dialogue limits them in any creative work, and for good: because it means that they will be using the old audio in the remake of MGS1 too, if that ever happens. Audio from 1997 with no possibilities for any changes. Casting new voices should have been the logical choice. They’re re-releasing the exact game twice now with the remaster and the 1-1 copy&paste remake.

@@lionheart6918 It's not confirmed to be a 1:1 remake. We'll see after the virtuous mission if they expand on the jungle and map further. As for the voices,they can stream line the exposition into real time gameplay some of the codec calls are unnecessary. And the fanbase and general audience will be fine with David Hayters 2004 audio as snake.Konami must be aware people didn't like Kiefer taking Hayters role.And could anyone give a better performance as The Boss? It's a smart move to keep fans onboard.

@@JuanJohn-Raytheon story wise and regarding cutscenes it will be 100% the same and basically copied and pasted because of the reuse of audio. it’s true Hayter and The Boss‘ actor we’re incredibly good. But remaking a game should include changes and a good mix of old and new and the characters should be free to bring fresh voices and the possibility of alterations in dialogue and story while keeping the core of the original. Fans are getting the remaster with the old voices anyway. Why getting the same thing twice (trice with the original release)?

And two of those games were well received. The game doesn’t need just fancy graphics. That’s not a remake that’s a glorified remastered like last of us part 1 and no wants that
