Metal Gear Solid Remake Update: Developer Teases “Big News”, “Something Major Is Brewing”

An independent developer has been working on an Unreal Engine 4 remake of the best stealth game ever: 1998's Metal Gear Solid.

I think Konami gave him the OK to make the game.

[gameseveryday]

They also gave the go ahead for Metal Gear remake from 2014 (one in which Hayter was a part of). But then decided to back it off. I think Konami gave this dev the go ahead but I don't know. I think they will take it back if history is anything to go by.

Some heartbreaking reminders:

Even if they gave him the OK, honestly, MGS without Kojima just wont feel right for me.

And the fact that i would support a $hit company like Konami after what they did will be extremely hard for me to do.

[donwel]

Hm, I'd be inclined to agree. Especially given Konamis recent form.

[PizzaSteve]

Maybe so knowing Konami they thinking it would be a lot cheaper this way.

[N8]

Exactly, I was thinking the same thing a bit ago. It was going way to smoothly. Plus it keeps komani from spending money to make a new one.

[born28]

Yea Knowing Konami they will cease all assets after hes done making the game and Remove his name from the box as well xD but seriously fuck you Konami!!!!!!!

[ScorpiusX]

That nice , but would really love to play that one MGS game that was exclusive to PS3 due to it being on blu ray which xbox 360 didn't have . Seeing as how Xbox one use BD would be cool if Konami port it over for that extra cash.

[2pacalypsenow]

Metal Gear Solid 4

[ScorpiusX]

Think it is , cause everyone kept going on about the BD crap.

[sdplisken]

That's nice but most of the xbox fanbase doesn't care about metal gear. Just look at mgs5 which sold 3x more on ps
MGS4 will NEVER come to xbox lol keep crying those xbox tears http://www.destructoid.com/...

[ScorpiusX]

3rd party ,no more prima donna employed , anything can happen even a port . Also WTF is crying anything , as for the fanbase that their problem .

As for your link , did you miss this part in the article ..........Update: To clarify, the GfK Chart reports purely on UK sales. This may not be representative of global sales.]

@Castillo

according to vg charts its even more than that world wide.

http://www.vgchartz.com/gam...

3.04 million on ps4 to 0.6 million on Xbone. Thats 5 times the copies on ps4. In fact, the ps3 copy sold as much as the Xbox one version, it really shows that while it can release on another platform, its brand recognition is on sonys platform.

quick edit: I know digital sales are not factored and that VG Chartz isn't always accurate, but its the best representation of these sales you can probably find elsewhere.

[Clown_Syndr0me]

Shame MgS5 was a much worse game. MGS4 was much better.

[jeenyus]

While the fact that MGS4 will not be released on the XB1 is pretty much true, your wording seems to be the one of a 9yr old angry kid... devaluating your statement.

[N8]

Buy a ps3, I hope you're not serious

[DarXyde]

There's no salt whatsoever in your comment...

And if we're being realistic, it wasn't just exclusive because of "that BD Crap" that's also in your Xbox. Sony and Kojima have a great working relationship (hence, why only Son's of Liberty made it to Xbox a year later as Substance, which was also on PS2 with a bonus game mode). Snake Eater wouldn't see the Xbox until a generation later.

The game also has a lot of Apple endorsements in it. Put simply, it really wasn't made with an Xbox version in mind. Not only was the game for PlayStation, but it bordered anti Microsoft at times. They could probably port it and remove all of the PlayStation/Apple references, but eh. Can't say many would buy a port on any platform, really. It doesn't at all follow the format the newbies experienced with The Phantom Pain. It's loaded with cutscenes that make no sense if you haven't played all of the others, especially MGS1. And I'm quite certain the cutscenes won't blow over well with casual fans of the series.

and once this is out ppl will say OMG konami best forget kojima etc etc

i wont support that piece of trash called konami
want to know what modern slavery is ? go work for konami

[ScorpiusX]

is this first hand experience or the word of a bitter employee , lets be honest unless you experienced it yourself there no telling who is the liar in the matter .

[PocketRave]

It looks nice but needs work with the character modelling. it would be nice if he releases all files so other people (including me) can add to it.

[gameseveryday]

It will be amazing if Hayter comes on board :)

[jeromeface]

Hopefully he can just use the sound files from the original. Problem solved.

[Kreisen]

Konami is the kinda company to let him develop the remake then take it from him and sell it.

[Quatron]

Something big like a seize and desist order.

[Tales RPG addict]

Konami just sell off Kojima's personal franchises to him such as MGS, ZOE, Boktai, and more. You guys at Konami don't have the potential w/o Kojima so forget it.

[TenkoTAiLS]

Wasn't there already a remake..you know Twin Snakes on Gamecube

[Tito08]

Yeah, but Kojima was asked a few years ago what MGS game he would have liked to remake, and he simply said MGS1, since Twin Snakes was developed by Silicon Knights, like saying he'd make a proper remake of it, his own way. I liked TS, but still preffered the original game for some reason. I would have liked MG1 & 2 being remade instead, at least to this gen, so people could see how Solid Snake came to be, but without Kojima, hard to imagine, hope ain't a repeat of Snake's Revenge all over again.

[VsAssassin]

I think Konami is going to remake MGS and SH1. If this happens, I'll forgive them!

[jeromeface]

For shitting on kojima there is no forgiveness. Not to mention their versions will be garbage.

[Apollosupreme]

I would buy it. It was the only blockbuster for PS1 that I missed out on.

[Orionsangel]

Meanwhile Konami teases lawsuit, lol

[rataranian]

No Kojima no deal.
