Hideo Kojima Gives Blessing to Metal Gear Solid Remake in Dreams

PushSquare: “We weren’t joking when we said we could rebrand Push Square as a Dreams fansite, but there’s so much impressive stuff getting made that it deserves the digital column inches. Take this Metal Gear Solid remake, which is so impressive that it’s already gotten Hideo Kojima’s approval. The auteur certainly didn’t keep creator Bearskopf waiting.”

That’s a high amount of praise

bouzebbal1821d ago

Lol yeah was thinking the same

UltraNova1821d ago

Ok now that Kojima gave his blessings I'm expecting Konami to barge in and take this down...

Lionsguard1821d ago (Edited 1821d ago )

That's nice of him but I wouldn't put it past Konami to copyright it.

Edit: F*** KONAMI!

rainslacker1821d ago

That's what I was thinking. Kojima is pretty cool with the fans showing their appreciation. Konami are a**es that would piss off fans out of spite, or because they think it would negatively affect the sales of a spin off

No Way1821d ago

Can you claim copyright if the creator isn't profiting from it?

KillZallthebeast1821d ago

I believe so since you see it all the time in pc gaming, and basically anything nintendo

P_Bomb1821d ago (Edited 1821d ago )

I knew he’d approve.

Konami’s had an official Metal Gear tools and level kit in LBP for 10 years now. If anything they’ve encouraged this sorta thing by selling the community tools that add authenticity. If they’re $mart they’ll make D(reams)LC, not claims.

generic-user-name1821d ago

You could say it adds value to Dreams, therefore MM are profiting from it.

P_Bomb1821d ago (Edited 1821d ago )

LBP hasn’t been sued or claimed by another publisher or partner in 10 years. Only things that got taken down early that I personally was aware of, were screenshots of things like Activision COD boxart, although my videogame action figure screenshot prizes never were.

The smart ones will see potential to actually make some money by creating DLC from their IP. Ubisoft, EA, Square, Namco, Bethesda, Capcom, Konami, From, WB, DC, Marvel, Disney have.

Minecraft is an even richer target that not only avoids heat but meets it head on: crossplays content with Nintendo and PC, shares character packs from Xbox with PlayStation. You can get yourself some licensed Gears/Halo skins on PS4. Likewise there’s a licensed LBP pack for Minecraft. My platinum pic is with Sackboy lol.

If Dreams does near as good as LBP1/LBP2, third parties just found themselves another decade of possible DLC revenue. Something’s better than nothing. All they gotta do is not rock the community’s boat.

Um...they already own the copyright. Think you mean they'd enforce it. And yeah...they probably will if this project becomes more than just a short scene.

WeAreLegion1821d ago

Working on a Zombies Ate My Neighbors sequel because Konami is horrible, too.

Lord_Sloth1821d ago

It was called Ghoul Patrol.

WeAreLegion1821d ago

Yeah. It just wasn't very good though.

KwietStorm_BLM1821d ago

Well of course he does, it's spelled Kojima, not Konami. I wouldn't put it passed them to make a takedown claim just because Kojima spoke out on it.

Thundercat771821d ago

Wow. I still don't understand how people are able to do this stuff on Dreams.

Imalwaysright1821d ago (Edited 1821d ago )

My best guess is a combination of MM being extremely ambitious and good at what they do and peoples' passion and creativity.

sprinterboy1821d ago

Imagine what a team of dreams Community players could do with a year or 2 (day and night)

If there was one PC version that should have existed it’s Dreams

I’m super glad they will be going back to something more traditional gaming wise.

Cacabunga2d ago

I’m sure they’ll find something creative to implement like Tearaway on vita. What a gem 💎 that thing was!!!

Abear212d ago

My dream was DreamsVR and creating landscapes, characters, and sculptures using that amazing toolbox in vr, that would have been something imo.

Amplitude2d ago

It did but it came out as an update LONG after the game was essentially dead

P_Bomb2d ago

Dreams PC was the dream. Woulda given the game a much needed boost. Here’s hoping they follow it up well.

phoenixwing2d ago

If sony had any sense they'd be making a pc version pronto

mkis0072d ago

They probably ran into the same problem they did with the potential of last of us factions....the support needed was just too much to consider expanding to more platforms for a smallish studio.

Abnor_Mal2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I use to say this when the game was first releasing, many kept saying it would not be possible, something about the toolsets.

I said this was one game that needed to be on as many platforms as possible, including PC and Xbox just like how Minecraft is everywhere.

Goodguy012d ago

Creation tools just don't work on console very well. It's definitely more suited for PC, and it's very odd Sony decided not to port it over. Good MM is working on an actual game instead.

I really enjoyed Good Job game...too bad that they are closing

mastershredder2d ago

Considering the level of games they made, I'm surprised that more than 2 people worked there. 45 people (+ outsourcing) making mediocre mobile games, like cut the rope. I mean dude....Nintendo stooped to new lows in quality development and entertainment standards.
