It better not look worse ha ha

Just looks the same to me. If there is a difference, it's subtle.

/SARC!

Honestly I was kind of hoping it would be going for a more MGSV route to transform and widen up the original game instead of a shot for shot remake… but I’ll still take it I suppose…

Praise the lord it's nothing like MGSV. That game butchered everything that made MGS a true MGS experience

Funny how people praise Peace Walker but not Phantom Pain. MGS5 does everything that PW does but better. And if the complaint is the story is barely there, then clearly we've forgotten all the complaints Sons of the Patriots got for it's long scenes and codex calls. Phantom Pain still has the story but it's in optional recordings you can listen to during gameplay in the background. MGSV is objectively the best playing Metal Gear. If it's to be looked down on for anything it's that it's unfinished, which is Konami's fault.

Look Gameplaywise MGSV is fucking great, brilliant even. Definitely felt updated at the time.
But for a MGS to have a barely all there story kinda makes not feel MGS as it should have.
I know a complaint about MGS series is long cutscenes and codex calls...but I don't care. MGS3 was the pinnacle, with MGS4 right behind it.
I gave no fucks about how long the ending in MGS4 was when I got to it, I understand its not for everyone...but so what? I feel like a lot more MGS fans prefer us getting the Kojima Movie Cinematic Treatment, than ones who would actually play it if the cutscenes were more manageable.
But I will definitely agree gameplay wise MGSV was the shit

Just the updated controls will be worth buying for. MGS3 has very clunky controls for today’s gaming. We need proper 3rd person shooter control

"Why WHY!!! even bother god damnit!, graphics aren't all!, is gameplay what matters, visuals are ok back then, just release again the old MGS and I will happily pay 100 dlls for it, so I can make a giant robot constrictor that pisses fire"

That's what well Im not sure but maybe a Sw1#$tch Owner would say imo. :D

To be fair, while the detail and well, nearly everything are obviously technically "superior" in the new shots, I believe there is more to say.
The hardware limitations of earlier generations forced the artists to use lighting/colors/textures etc. that while technically very primitive, presented a very strong atmosphere and distinct identity that played a large role in creating the "feel" of the game. These elements helped provide an element of how you remembered the game, its identity in your memory, and even that something that sort of "calls to you" when you are away from the game. In this regard, I feel like it served as a sort of soul for so many games. I would very much like for the modern technical capacity to come WITH the artists still putting just as much into the game to give it, again, a definite identity. In some cases, the older styles (due to imagination filling in the gaps) paired with the artists' going all out - resulted in an overall more engaging experience. For the record, I absolutely am a self declared graphics WHORE. I want the BEST graphics, but more and more I ALOS want the artists that go ALL OUT. Unfortunately, it seems that with the fantastic technical capability we have, sometimes, maybe, the developers have missed this line of thinking and due to the technically impressive offerings they are providing, do not feel as much need to develop/push the artistic elements (the soul if you will) as they did when the tech alone couldn't carry much weight.

Wow, better than i gave it credit to be fair
