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

bouzebbal1845d ago

Lol yeah was thinking the same

UltraNova1845d ago

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

Lionsguard1845d ago (Edited 1845d ago )

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

Edit: F*** KONAMI!

rainslacker1845d 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 Way1845d ago

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

KillZallthebeast1845d ago

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

P_Bomb1845d ago (Edited 1845d 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-name1844d ago

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

P_Bomb1844d ago (Edited 1844d 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.

WeAreLegion1845d ago

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

Lord_Sloth1845d ago

It was called Ghoul Patrol.

WeAreLegion1844d ago

Yeah. It just wasn't very good though.

KwietStorm_BLM1845d 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.

Thundercat771845d ago

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

Imalwaysright1845d ago (Edited 1845d ago )

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

sprinterboy1845d ago

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

Days Gone Director Says Bend's Project Costs Over $250M; Says PS Co-CEO Doesn't Want 2 Zombies Games

Days Gone director claims Sony has already poured in at least a $250M in Bend's project; says Days Gone sold more than Death Stranding.

shinoff21831d 16h ago

Well that sucks. Seems they want more online trash. I'd rather of had the sequel if it was single player

MrNinosan1d 1h ago

What online trash games did PS Studios release last 10 years?

Notellin23h ago

The past has nothing to do with the future. This is such a terrible argument. Everyone knows about their current live service push.

_SilverHawk_22h ago

It's so tragic what happened to days gone. It is such an amazing game but bandwagoners trashed it and it underperformed in it's launch year. Days gone is the best open world zombie game released in the past five years. I was recently playing it on pc and I'm still amazed by it.

Games are very expensive to make and it seems like it's normal for a AAA game to cost over a quarter billion to make so if a quality game like days gone greatly underperforms then people shouldn't be upset when they see a lot of GAAS. I still remember a lot of bandwagoners calling days gone trash but years later it's now amazing when it's considered a failure by sony.

If a game isn't the best thing seen since hats with pockets then a lot of gamers who haven't played it automatically calls it rubbish and whoever made it should be incarcerated

Cacabunga21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

Co CEO prefers gamers to boycott.. so be it. I’ll never buy a gaas.
Just imagine buying a game you cannot replay in some years.. this shit must stop.

Days Gone did zombies in a very original way. The story was also so engaging. You actually only meet Zombie hordes later in the game. There are many more enemy groups to deal with.

MrNinosan19h ago

@Notelin
I am one of the few who bought Days Gone on release day and loved it completely.
However, "more online trash" is phrased like Sony has put out alot of trash online games.
We got what, 2 games? Helldivers 2 and GT7, 2 of the most sold Playstation games where both is loved by millions.

You, me and especially shinoff has no idea if Fairgames, Marathon and Concord will be trash.

Just because we (as in you and me) don't love or support online games, doesn't mean millions of other do.

And we don't know what Bend Studio is working with? We don't know if they're forced to make a online game or another amazing single player experience.

The only thing we do know is that it's not Days Gone, sadly due to poor sales the first 6 months.

shinoff218317h ago(Edited 17h ago)

More online trash wasmt meant how insee it comes across. I should've worded it different I was meaning the focus they currently have on it.

Anything online is online trash to me. How long did naughty dog spend on that dumba last of us multiplayer, how about Concord, or even the other couple we hear about. I fk with Sony because rpgs and their 1st party single player games. Been like that for years. I hate seeing them waste time, money, and talent on trash. I understand bot every game is gonna be for me but this focus they've seem to had on multiplayer is extremely disheartening. Even at the state of play the only things I was really feeling were Astrobot and silent hill 2 and I'm content with that, not everything is for me. It's just the online focus I hate. Ms bought up 3 to 4 wrpgs developers, Sony just ignores rpgs 1st party wise.

And a days gone 2 would've been much better then whatever online sht bend is working on. I do know sometimes I get very idk emotional. I do need to work on toning that down a bit lol

SimpleDad7h ago

Ammm let's see... That All-stars, Foamstars, Babilon 5 wass gaas...
Concord... can wait to play that...Marathon uuuu... Last of them gaas... U
Horizon Zero dawn has a project that leaked as a Fortnite lookalike.

They bought Destiny that is a dead gaas...people love ti.

Helldivers 2 was luck.

Jimbo was all in and pushed Sony single player games 5 years behind.

Spiderman gaas was cancelled... I mean every 1st party studio was doing gaas.

Bend had to pitch a gaas game... Open world coop something

I can't remember more... Of that crap.

tay87016h ago

@simpledad. Destiny 2 isn't a dead game. Its the number 5 most played game on steam. I dont play it, but alot of people do.

MrNinosan1h ago

@SimpleDad
You failed to mention a single PS Studios game that has been released last 10 years.
Either your reading skills are crap or you think Sony own every studio in the world.

I rolled my eyes at concord not only was it just yet another cookie cutter hero shooter but that qucik look for the hero select.

Already has a free section then paid section along with a they/them she/her dei crap top right.

Nothing like a day off of work to fire up concord to read about the new characters sexual identity and or preference then a paywall do you want o buy this character shit like no i just want to shoot my gun have fun.

-Foxtrot1d 16h ago

It would be a shame if it was true that Hermen never gave the franchise a chance simply because he didn't like it and they already had a "Zombie" game with TLOU.

NaughtyDog are most likely moving onto a new IP next so it would have been the perfect time to do it.

ThinkThink1d 8h ago

Here's where xbox steps in and releases state of decay 3 day and date on ps5.

shinoff218317h ago

I mean it's not out of the realm of possibility at this point.

Grilla1d 1h ago

Days gone 2 was canceled before Herman was in charge. That happened like 4 years ago.

vfl5231d ago

4 years ago he was head of Playstation Studios. He would've probably had a hand in the cancelation.

Notellin23h ago

Man two seconds of research could have saved you from this comment. Amazing work Grilla you fit in with the uniformed N4G community who speaks before verifying anything that they say.

Redemption-6422h ago

Maybe encourage people to buy the game at full price and not when it's heavily discounted or go on plus. If this game had sold well when it was full priced a sequel would have been in the works. They made a single-player game that most people didn't support until they dropped the price.

Cacabunga20h ago

The guy’s just a moron.. he should have stayed within game development. His choices will have a terrible impact on the brand in the long run.

tay870110h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Dude is pretty pathetic. Sounds like a guy who's girl left him for someone better. Always talking about days gone sequel that never was, even though he is no longer at bend and hasnt been for a while. I for one am not upset about the lack of a sequel. It is one of the worst 1st party games in recent memory. Completely jank, played like an xbox game. The only redeeming quality was the hordes.

excaliburps1d 2h ago

Yep. Kind of weird since it wasn't a sales flop, no?

I know we have to take what Ross says with a grain of salt since we're hearing just one side of the story, but even so, the game wasn't bad at all. Heck, it's my brother's favorite last-gen game from what I recall.

The amount of zombies on screen, imagine that with the PS5 and SSD? That would be insanely fun!

Grilla1d 1h ago

Most copies were sold on sale. Not enough ppl bought it at full price. I paid 20$ for it 6 -7 months after release.

Notellin23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

Yeah we should never believe the creators side until we hear the corporate/big business side as history has shown we should always believe billion dollar corporations.

What a bootlicker statement.

derek19h ago

@Notellin, of course you'll believe an embittered ex-employee with an axe to grind because it's evil Sony he's complaining about. You guys act like days gone was this huge success and somehow Sony hates easy money a sequel would have generated. The game was mid and so was the response to it. They're still supporting the developer who is making a new ip that could be great.

shinoff218317h ago

Days gone was fantastic. I bought day one but didn't get around to it for months. When I finally did I was pissed at myself for waiting so long lol

Well I don’t want 10 live service games, but they have no problem doing that lol. Ugh.

CrimsonWing691d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

Oh great so we only get what the big wigs want… y’know, the people that really have their fingers on the pulse of what their consumers want. Faaaaantastic!

rippermcrip22h ago

Well consider they know the sales... they do know what the consumer wants.

It sold shit.

-Foxtrot17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

But if it’s true what this guy says it sold better than Death Stranding

Yet that got a sequel and Kojima aside out of them both DS didn’t really NEED a sequel compared to Days Gone which ended on such a cliff hanger twist.
