Konami didn't recover after ditching Kojima, but this Metal Gear revival is its best shot

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.

Cacabunga2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

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

isarai6h ago

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

jeromeface3h ago

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.

Redgrave1h ago

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.

Inverno41m ago

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.

Cacabunga2d ago

Loved the video! Hyped for this one

RaidenBlack1d 21h ago

Its a 2025 game isn't it?
So a current kojima game (DS2) will release close to a reworked past Kojima game (MGS3)

dumahim2d ago

Aren't they just reusing the original voice tracks?

neomahi2d ago

Yes, no new dialogue. Just a fancy paint job

just_looken1d 13h ago

Yes its just hideo kojimas team work they did back in 2014 that was used on the plachinko machine.

But everyone is giving david high fives he is no doubt doing a da f? face sense he has not been on konami soil sense the phantom pain situation like a decade now LOL.

just_looken1d 13h ago

No this is the voice work from the hd version/plachinco version

David hayter has not been back there for many many years any true mgs fan know's this

Nittdarko1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

That's so funny considering the VA of Zero has tweeted hes been doing extra voice work with the rest of the cast, guess you ain't a real fan ><

Number1TailzFan2d ago

Probably the best thing in the whole showcase so far..

outsider16242d ago

I was so disappointed by Dragon Age tbh..i didnt even know it was DA until i heard the Warden...😤😤

bababooiy2d ago

The remnants of it initially being a co-op multiplayer game are clearly still there. Im guessing thats why it had such a huge tonal shift. Not to mention the complete butchering of the lore with that veil jumper, which makes no sense.

Ironmike2d ago

Indiana Jones looked great as well

2d ago
RaidenBlack1d 22h ago

Still stuck on with the only complaint of it not being 3rd person
Its made similar to Riddick games ... by the same devs
This new 'Valkyrie2024' account is created just to spew hate comments and console-warring.

helicoptergirl1d 9h ago

I thought Indiana Jones looked like garbage in the reveal trailer. But when I saw this most recent one, it actually looked like a really fun story to play through. Troy Bakre doing a really great job as usual. Sounds a lot like Indy. So I am looking forward to this game now.

I've never played any of the MGS games, but this is looking good. Got to start somewhere, right?

Name Last Name2d ago

It's the first one chronologically so you won't miss anything.

just_looken1d 13h ago

To bad we never got og big boss crew in ww2 or one with the true son of boss that somehow stayed alive to the end with no one knowing ha

DuckOnQuack352d ago

One of the best games ever created.

truthBombs2d ago

same here. It's one of the few popular series I haven't played. I'll probably dive in with this one. Modern technologies. Cleaner graphics and smoother fram rates.

just_looken1d 13h ago

You can get the hd collection for 360 cheap play it on a onex or series
https://youtu.be/OeNayQKP0v...

60fps 1080p

Mint copy $30 remember it gets downloaded after you toss the disc's in
https://www.ebay.com/itm/12...

Cacabunga2d ago

Best place to start.. no worries!

Chocoburger2d ago

Gonna disagree with the others, this isn't a good place to start since there are story threads that have more impact if you play the games in release date order. I can't go into further detail without spoilers.

Play MGS 1 and 2, they're short, amazing and well worth playing! Skip Twin Snakes if anyone tells you to play that one.

just_looken1d 13h ago

If you got a xbox kicking around or some loose change to get a used xbox one x get that and a copy of mgs hd version.

mgs hd collection is best played on a ps3 do too copy of mgs1 but the xbox version did get a bump with backwards compatibility support.

The worst version's are on steam and this copy of mgs3 was done 7? years ago for a pachinko machine
Bad video there is some others out there but this is close to untouched
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Kojima was using his team's fox engine to enhance the old games for a new collection.

Nittdarko1d 10h ago

Its really up to you as MGS3 is a self contained story in its own right but its like watching Star wars 1-3 before 4-6, you have a lot of "oh shit" moments if you play them in release order and when you get to MGS3 everything falls into place and its quite magical

imo play MGS master collection (after the add 4k60 support later this year) MGS1 & MGS2 and then play this remake of 3 for the full fun of it

savedsynner1d 8h ago

Oh wow...ok, my opinion play mgs 5 because it's awesome game.

+ Show (5) more repliesLast reply 1d 8h ago
bababooiy2d ago

It looks amazing, im so glad they kept the original dialogue and cutscenes. Only downside still no release date.

Hofstaderman2d ago

Something off with the animation...not smooth

VersusDMC2d ago

Hopefully the reason it doesn't have a release date...get that polish and 60fps to a "solid" state.

Shane Kim2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Probably because they use the same "engine" as the MGS 3 Pachinko game.

https://youtu.be/ykHlSW8RXF...

just_looken1d 13h ago

I know its so dam sad this team is getting praise david hayter is getting high fives so many have 0 clue

Hideo and his team did all heavy lifting then they tossed it into that dam machine now we are getting it back on controller.

They said there using hd voices along with pachinko updates because david is still not going back to konami the rest of the cast same boat.

I swear it either everyone's brain turned off in 2020 or very few remember the horror stories from dev's of konami they killed so many ips 7th/8th gen. The mgs steam version's run worse than the ps3 versions there contra games run so bad your pc can blue screen.

There is also no keyboard mouse support

But the internet today is screaming WE LOVE YOU KONAMI or WOW MGS IS BACK

I am like oh boy here we go again

Metal Gear Solid 5, Nearly After A Decade, Is Still A Timeless Classic

The Metal Gear series, led by Kojima, pioneered the stealth genre, creating a masterclass in storytelling and gameplay.

SimpleSlave6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

No. But MGS5: Ground Zeroes might actually be one of the greatest Game Demo ever, if not the best.

xHeavYx6d ago

I know a lot of people didn't, but I actually liked that story twist at the end. The game was fun and all, but I wouldn't call it a timeless classic.

Cacabunga5d ago

Metal Gear legend stopped with number 4.
MGS5 needed a year or 2 more of development to be maybe among the classics.. it was clearly rushed, especially at the end. The story teaches us absolutely nothing new.

just_looken6d ago

A demo is free that was a $40 cry for help as later we would know konami did not want to fun hideo and his team anymore that is why we got the unfinished phantom pain.

-Foxtrot6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Meh

Great stealth gameplay but the game was just average.

Bland open world that felt lifeless, the story felt shoehorned in, unfinished story etc. The whole thing was just average to me compared to the other main titled games.

I would have rather preferred it if they kept Ground Zeroes for the main game as the opening and the rest of the game turns into a Metal Gear 1 & 2 remake to bring things full circle.

just_looken6d ago

If you dig around they had old behind trhe scenes of phantom pain vids and books wrote around the time.

Before funding was puled the main idea was to keep peace walker coop it was in the games early builds and that end game were your building your base that was suppose to be metal gear one.

You as the fake big boss was going to make your own metal gear one map aka your base (outer heaven) then me as sold snake use the mode that is in the game invade/defeat the base even fight your current version of metal gear that was in the game but not finished.

So your idea was on the table bit got canned.

CrimsonWing696d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Like hell it is. That was the first time I became aware of being sold an unfinished game and was blown away about blind fanboys saying it was some perfect game.

Yea, the first few chapters were great until they do that thing halfway and make you replay all the missions again. Then little things like capturing animals but only seeing a JPEG unlike 3 where everything was modeled out. Areas were massive, desolate, and boring to look at.

Game was a massive let down for me and the potential was so high for it. Honestly, this was one of the most disappointing games I ever played. What’s worse is it starts off brilliant. You literally play through until you get to the point where you could tell they just stopped developing and then quickly used glue and construction paper to “finish” it and then sold it. Quite frankly, that’s insulting to consumers and fans.

Inverno6d ago

People have selective memory. This game had huge drama attached to it, what Konami did to Kojima and this game was horrible. Now they praise Konami cause they revived Silent Hill, even though SH looks half arsed too.

CrimsonWing696d ago

I dunno if they’re getting much praise after the Silent Hill 2 debacle. Makes me scared sh*tless for the MGS 3 Remake…

Michiel19895d ago

I don't wanna defend konami, but Kojima had 7 years to make the game, it's not that weird for a publisher to expect a game to be finished in that amount of time.

Also no one is praising konami from what I've seen, they're just excited that a Silent Hill game is releasing

CrimsonWing694d ago (Edited 4d ago )

@Michiel1989

You’re absolutely correct. Look, the dude is a visionary and has brought us some incredible games, but he constantly would go over budget and could never stick to a deadline. I don’t know if people remember the MGS 4 trailers but it became a joke when you’d see a release date and then they crossed it out in the next trailer to give another.

What a lot of people don’t know is there’s a certain amount of money given for development and marketing. When you go over the budget and add additional marketing over the deadline it isn’t cheap. MGS GZ and V were laughable to me for the amount of time he had to develop them and he spent even more time on the engine that wasn’t anything revolutionary to me. I mean, GZ was nothing more than a demo and they released that art like $40 I think, probably to further help fund V. He then spent money for Kiefer Sutherland who did nothing for the character, which I think Kojima just wanted because he’s a fan.

Konami just had enough and said this is the deadline and you’re done after this. It’s business, but fans took it personal. I mean look at this Overdose game he’s been doing.,, like when is that ever coming out?

Michiel19894d ago

I kind of forgot about overdose but yeah exactly my thoughts. He has made some of the best games out there and definitely deserves time to create his new masterpiece, but it's not a bottomless well.

This is pure speculation but I imagine he got around 4 years to make the game excluding pre-production. If after those 4 years the game is nowhere near being done, the relationship will be strained between them one way or another.

about the konami being praised thing, if let's say blizzard announces world of warcraft 2 today I'll be excited as hell for the game, but that doesn't mean my opinion of blizzard changes only a tiny bit cause they're still trash.

Yui_Suzumiya4d ago

Yeah, it was the only MGS I didn't play and this is coming from someone who got back into gaming after skipping a generation due to MGS4 back in 2008. It just seems to be the complete opposite of the MGS I always knew and loved (1-4).

JEECE6d ago

Yes and no. In many ways in was a great game; there's a very strong argument that it has the best gameplay of any MGS game, and that it is one of the more interesting open world "playgrounds" we have gotten, in terms of how the world operates. But as an MGS narrative, it is pretty far down the list, for many reasons.

Storm235d ago

I don't think there is any argument. The gameplay was incredible. But yeah...disappointed in the rest. Could have been incredible but...well...we all know what happened...

JEECE4d ago

I don't think there is much of one either but apparently some people found the world very boring compared to the more linear structures of other entries so I didn't make a definitive statement in order to acknowledge the outliers.

DarXyde5d ago

The thing about Metal Gear Solid is that the narrative is what determines which is your favorite because the gameplay had ALWAYS improved with every mainline entry. It's amazing.

If it was gameplay, we'd all say The Phantom Pain, but the story is what truly sets them apart.

For me, that's Snake Eater, which is also my favorite game of all time.

JEECE4d ago

That's my favorite too, particularly if we are talking about the subsistence version with camera control.

Fishy Fingers6d ago

For me, best gameplay, worst, everything else.

Storm235d ago

Yeah...gameplay was so damn good.
