According to Mitch Dyer, who previously worked for IGN and wrote the article in question, states he was forced by the site’s editors at the time (Steve Butts and Tal Blevins) to include “forced gossip” in the report.
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.
Ubisoft has given players a glimpse at the first update for Rogue Prince of Persia titled The Temple of Ire.

"They forced an unproven claim onto http://IGN.com with my name on it, against my will, to "protect their relationship with Sony."
When Sony justifiably condemned our story, Steve and Tal were SILENT. They never went to bat for me for a second.
Huh? They forced an unproven claim in the story to "protect their relationship with Sony" which Sony later condemned? How exactly was that "protecting" their relationship with Sony? Those editors sound like total dumbasses.
Steve Butts was later fired from IGN for misconduct:

"These are the guys who would later publish a story on http://IGN.com stating THE LAST GUARDIAN IS CANCELED."
I remember that, lol
this was debunked in Schrier's book, but IGN is still not out of this. that original article should be updated, or excised...
This is a very dangerous statement if he what he says is true they purposely did things to remain in good standing with publishers/companies this makes them extremely untrustworthy.
How can we trust them to review anything with honesty if they want to be on good standings with a company hell their reviews become meaningless if they are afraid to step on toes.
Also shame on them for painting that narrative if not true.
As far as I know it was a creative difference not a hostile takeover. ND simply didn't want to go with Amy's vision and she was basically like yeah I'm done peace out
