Konami wants to "re-imagine" MGS in HD

EuroGamer - Kojima Productions wants to remake the first Metal Gear Solid title in full HD, so says the studio's creative producer Yoshikazu Matsuhana.

Speaking with Eurogamer at E3 in Los Angeles this week, Matsuhana explained that the studio had decided against including the 1998 PSone classic in the forthcoming Metal Gear Solid HD Collection as both its gameplay and visuals are just too dated.

I would love that, I would be cool if they also do a "PSVita" version. It would be wonderful for the Upcoming Handheld.

xX-StolenSoul-Xx4722d ago

Well couln't they just have made Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes in Hd?

That one definatly looks better than the Ps1 game, and it sure does look pretty decent for a Gamecube game. I wonder if their was a issue with nintendo not letting them put it in Hd who knows.

LastDance4722d ago (Edited 4722d ago )

They remade it into twin snakes and it still wasn't as good as the original.

That's cool konami, don't worry about metal gear or metal gear 2 - you know..the part of the series where BIG BOSS and SOLID SNAKE are together... cartoon sprites is fine for that.

Instead....just remake a game that has been remade already

MGS > MGS:TS

A Real Remake by Koji-Pro will be Glorious!

Darkfocus4722d ago

Twin snakes had a bunch of ninty references in it like yoshi setting on oticons desk and stuff but I guess they could take it out easily enough...

InactiveUser4722d ago

There's a lot of garbage added to Twin Snakes. Kiddie stuff, Nintendo references, ridiculously over-exaggerated backflips (more understandable from Raiden, but not Snake).

Also, a lot of the voiceovers are worse in Twin Snakes. A few lines are read a bit better, some are similar, but a decent chunk are worse and don't feel nostalgic and as epic as the original.

lsujester4722d ago

I'm with LastDance... at this point I want to see a remade Metal Gear 1&2. The Solid series is good enough as is.

EdFry4722d ago (Edited 4722d ago )

To be honest, the way I enjoyed Twin Snakes is by imagining it was Co-Directed by Michael Bay.

That game was so over the top and ridiculous, didn't do the original justice but was still enjoyable.

why not make a new ip =\

koji and co. don't have the testicular fortitude

one trick pony

RumbleFish4722d ago

Nothing easier than that. Almost the whole MGS1 environment is allready created in MGS4. I was waiting for that announcement since release of MGS4.

GunofthePatriots4722d ago (Edited 4722d ago )

I hope they would use gray fox's ps1 voice and not the gamecube voice!

damn...this made me go back and watch mgs1 clips. i wanna play it now! brb :)

DevilsJoker4722d ago

Not sure why they didn't include twin snakes. It's basically the same game. I mean, the MGS4 audio flashbacks were from twin snakes, so they obviously consider it the go-to MGS1 version.

Kamikaze1354722d ago

Would be nice...I just hope if he does it, it doesn't end up changing too much. Maybe that's what he has planned on unveiling for the 25th anniversary next year.

I’d have taken a few of those out. Prefer Sonic over Sonic 2. Outrun should be in there. Maybe even Pong as millions of people had fun with that even if it was repetitive. Final Fight pipped any Streets of Rage game, although Streets of Rage had the better soundtrack. Too many to list l guess. To me, retro gaming is the 1980s, maybe going into early 1990s.

Popsicle56d ago

Agree that the generational gap is too broad to really make a strong list. Need to tighten the years a bit. Hard to compare Pac Man with N64 games.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater - Official Unreal Engine 5 Trailer | Xbox Partner Preview

Get a glimpse at how the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 will be updated through the use of Unreal Engine 5.

Snookies12202d ago

It looks wonderful visually. Frame rate is very inconsistent though, and definitely running sub-30's at times. I get that this is an alpha version. I just hope we can hit a locked 60 on the final release. Also, I kind of wish they'd expanded the areas a bit. Might feel a bit odd going through these sections that are still clearly going to be on a PS2 scale in size.

neutralgamer1992201d ago

They should expand where necessary and I really hope they do justice to this remake. IMO this remake should be top tier like dead space, resident evil 2 & 4 and demon souls

I am speaking quality wise

CrimsonWing69202d ago

Holy sh*t that looks good! I hope they don't censor it.

GamerRN201d ago

What is there to censor, I never played 3

An Xbox adventure in the jungle

BehindTheRows201d ago

*A multiplatform adventure in the jungle.

autobotdan201d ago

Mentions xbox on n4g. Prepares for nasty n4g comments replys

BehindTheRows201d ago

I mean, you can say that to yourself while you're drugged up on Xbox pills. Changes nothing. :)

autobotdan201d ago

Man you get insulted whan someone mentions xbox. You might need medicine

BehindTheRows201d ago

"Insulted" — says the guy running around like a headless chicken trying to convince folks to care about his favorite box. Ok champ!

BehindTheRows201d ago (Edited 201d ago )

If you actually have a counter argument to this being a multiplatform game and how "A multiplatform adventure in the jungle" was a "nasty reply", I'm all ears.

I'll even help you... what is the counter to this being a multiplatform game and why is that a nasty reply?

autobotdan201d ago (Edited 201d ago )

I was never in any argument or debate. You accused me of being on xbox pills. That was a nasty reply. I am done here. Not going to waste my time here

BehindTheRows201d ago (Edited 201d ago )

I mean, if someone responds to you with a factual correction and you reply with "Xbox xbox xbox", I'm not sure what kind of response should be expected.

If someone replied with "Ps ps ps", I'm sure you would wonder what is going on, especially if nothing wrong was said to you.

autobotdan201d ago

A factual correction?? What the..? I'm very confused here What were you correcting?

BehindTheRows201d ago

I thought you were done? :P

Answer: it's just as much a PlayStation/PC adventure as it is Xbox.

autobotdan201d ago

So i hurt your feelings by not mentioning Playstation/pc on an Xbox event article correct?

BehindTheRows201d ago

Hurt MY feelings? Once again, if someone replies with "Xbox xbox xbox", it's clear that they are affected by something more than they should be. You then double down with some BS about N4G (like this place is immune to trash talked about anyone else but them).

Plus, I thought you were leaving? You can't help yourself. XD

Unreal Engine...how disappointing.

Apovyk202d ago

UE5 is the best looking engine on the market today - why is that disappointing?

RedDeadLB202d ago

Because, at the moment, the most technically problematic and disappointing games run on it. 540p upscaled next gen goodness.

DarXyde202d ago

Disappointing if resolution is a huge deal for you.

Personally, I feel a re-tooled FOX Engine would have done great. If it was a PS5/PC only title, I think Decima would have been an excellent choice.
