"Sometimes, it seems like the hardest thing a person could do is to separate the creator from his or her work (like in the case with Notch's "Minecraft" and Tim Sore's "The Last Night"t). So here's my take on the matter" - Justin Easler TGG
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.
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.

I never really cared about anyone's political views when it comes to entertainment, if the games good I'll play it!
As a Christian reviewer I have to be blameless as the Bible commands in Phil 2:15
I honestly don't care all that much about their personal opinions, politics and whatnot (at least not if it's not something really extreme). Simply put, if the game is great, then I will buy it.
I had no idea about what Tim Sore's said back in 2014, and quite frankly, I couldn't care less. Because I think that The Last Night looks freaking awesome.
I have no idea what CDPR's political views are despite their very political games. I have no idea what Klei's political views are. These are some of my favorite studios and I think the fact that I don't know their politics attributes to it. Some studios are very open about their stupid politics and I can forgive if it's not overly apparent in their games or smartly written. Some of my favorite game writers are flaming left wing hacks (Amy hennig, ken Levine).
The creators that preach their activism through their works with token platitudes get on my nerves. I'd be lying if I said that it didn't influence my opinion of them. So I enjoy thoughtful political writing and loathe the idiot political writing. Unfortunately the idiot politics heavily outnumber anything with actual substance.
