Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake Devs On Whether Kojima Is Involved and Why They Picked This Game

IGN had the chance to speak with the team behind the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake, and they discussed whether Hideo Kojima or Yoji Shinkawa had any involvement in the project, if there will be more remakes from the Metal Gear series, and more.

I'm not surprised. Kojima doesn't want anything to do with Konami anymore

And he is no doubt banned from there company buildings.

“There wasn't much hope that Kojima was going to be a part of the project, especially after his breakup with Konami, but it was a question nonetheless.

We also asked if Yoji Shinkawa was involved, as he was integral in the art of the Metal Gear Solid series and is now working with Kojima at Kojima Productions.

"They are not involved," a Konami spokesperson said. "However, the development team will work hard to create this remake and also the ports (for Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection) so that they can be enjoyed on multiple platforms by even more players all around the world."

Wow…This a very big pill to swallow for Kojima.

lets see what happens, honestly Im very skeptical about Konami handling the project and others like Silen Hill, still I hope it turns out great game experiences.

No kojima, no buy. Unless it’s a port of 4

AlphaKennyTime359d ago

Kojima is not your friend. Corporations are not your friends. Drone mentality.

Silver_ShadoWolf358d ago

Ok. So you shouldn’t buy brands that you like. Don’t buy food you like because it’s big corp. you know what? No more next gen consoles for you. Consoles are from big corporations. You can’t like anything outside of what you make in your own home. See how ridiculous that sound? That’s basically what you’re saying. 🤦🏽‍♂️

AlphaKennyTime348d ago

Bad strawman. There's a difference between researching a product before buying it based on its quality, price, etc. and outright refusing a product because one person left a company. Maybe it will be a good game. Maybe it will be a bad game. Just wait and see.

Strange359d ago

No Kojima, no MGS.
Just remember what happened to Survive.

MehmetAlperTR359d ago

Exactly.. No Hideo No MGS !!!!

CDbiggen359d ago

But this is looking like a 1:1 remake/remaster, like the Metroid Prime Remaster, in which case it's all going to still be Kojimas work. They're using the same voice cast which means to me that they're just using the old recordings, which means no changes to Kojima's script. You'll get some QOL improvements and good graphics.

DarkkMinion358d ago

Do you personally know Kojima? Seems like you two are pals or something. If Konami delivers the same untouched story and material with revamped graphics I don't see why people will not play it.

"We then asked why the team chose to start with Metal Gear Solid 3 as opposed to the first Metal Gear Solid, and it all seemed to boil down to the fact that this third entry is actually the spark of the larger Metal Gear tale"

They actually mean the work was 60% done by kojimas old team for the plachinco machine but we now are making it run on next gen systems. Do you start from scratch or start with alot of stuff finished.

We could have had this remake 6yrs ago :(

‘the team is looking to implement native 4k resolution for all titles featured in the collection via a free update sometime in the future.’ Good, this is what I’ve been waiting for. It should’ve been done for launch but hopefully Konami now understands their need to respect the original games. Maybe they will do a Halo:MCC and effectively rebuild the games into a more unified whole.

just_looken65d ago

They removed scenes form the story to fit a modern audience the ape escape Easter egg from mg3 is gone the skater deal from mgs2 to my knowledge is also gone.

I would like them to remove these trash versions as the ps3 hd collection has more content better visuals. Heck duckstaion is the best version of mgs1 still that is a fan emulator

Kept you waiting, huh?

Hoping for a fall-2024 release

Chocoburger65d ago

The menu screen? Wow, way to go, Konami! 🙄

RaidenBlack64d ago

"According to Okamura, following Metal Gear Solid Delta, the decision to work on full-fledged remakes with new features and visuals will be evaluated on a game-by-game basis.
He further mentioned that the development team will have a major video presentation happening sometime soon, where it will reveal some bigger announcements regarding the franchise’s future."

Chocoburger64d ago

I'd like to see a reboot for the franchise, a fresh start, not clinging onto the past with the same story and characters. But I don't have any faith in Konami to do it right. I'd like to be wrong, though!

Maybe they could do both like CAPCOM has done with Resident Evil. They're doing remakes and new games simultaneously.

RhinoGamer8865d ago

Credits screen in 4k...incoming!

just_looken65d ago

No kidding and you watch 30fps locked no keyboard support needs 4090 past 1440p
