Legendary game designer Hideo Kojima says games, novels and films will "merge into one type of entertainment".
With Kojima gone, a lot is riding on Konami's revival of Metal Gear.
Not really, Konami is basically in name only and like so many other Japanese studios that have come and gone they are just going to be an IP troll and milk that cow until it is dry. Also one of the advertised features is playing the game from a different camera view while everything else remains the same will just result in making the game easier like what happened with Twin Snakes.
If this turns out good and gamers support it we will get the other ones.. i really hope we get MGS original in zanzibar, Peace Walker and Portable Ops remakes after this one.. they are related with naked snake
Portable Ops was sooooooo good and underrated
Konami might not be super active in the videogame business anymore, or less, but they still make a ton of money with their collections and pachinko machines.
and their castlevania series on netflix is really successful also.
@jinsing
Your dislikes shows this sites situation
Konami has been doing all of that for years now like there contra games or mgs ports
mgs survive anyone
When are people going to learn that all Konami is doing with these games Is licensing them out? They are not trying to revive their game development Branch and they are not the ones developing this. It is studios that came to them and asked to use the license to make a game and they have been doing this pretty much since MGSV
Remaking all his work reaks of desperation. The only reason they are getting away with it is everyones deep love for the series. If delta is successful (which as of right now it should be), they'll be sure to remake all of them.
Big shoes to fill, and compared to SH2 - this is as much a 1:1 remake as you can get. You can still see the PS2 bones in the movements and how the cutscenes have the same angles. If anything, I'd have preferred the reverse.... with SH2 being closer to a 1:1 remake but prettier, and have MGS3 have a little more freedom.
Ideally, MGS3 with a MGSV skin in terms of gameplay and freedom of approach. This is more like a high budget remaster than a remake. Having recently replayed the Bluepoint remaster, this is going to be like that same experience but even prettier.
But, as with both MGS3 and SH2, nearly impossible shoes to fill if not outright so. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Such is the legacy of these GOAT titles.
It's a one to one remake, using the same voice recordings too. Not a reimagining, no new content thus far announced, just a straight remake of a game that already exists, but now with prettier graphics. There's no revival, they proved they can't make anything related to MG after Survival. They'll just remake all the games and people will eat it up.
We have the ten finalists for Develop:Brighton’s Indie Showcase competition right here, so take a look ahead of the event next month.

Hideo your the boss but I disagree with that. Movies,especially hollywood movies are overrated. A movie will never give you the emotions a good game gives. Merging both would be a mistake, Quantum break tried to do it but we all saw how it panned out
No. Movies are a passive medium. Games are an assertive medium. There will always be a divide between the two
Nothing new. They are merging for many years. Today's video games already are a product of merging movies with "normal" games, physical RPG, old style games (Pong etc) and novels. Just as present movies are a product of merging first "moving photos" with novels. But it makes me wonder, what he is planning to do with Death Stranding.
Wise words from a wise man
I agree, I don't think he's saying games will start to become more and more like movies while the gameplay elements will start to deteriorate. But instead that games are advancing at a pace that will allow them to have the same emotional resonance that movies do, while always maintaining a better level of interaction than movies. Basically one day games will have the same production and presentation value as movies, while also remaining something that requires your interaction.
