Not everyone was happy with new Uncharted 4 characters like Nadine “Triceps” Ross. In fact, according to director Neil Druckmann, his team had to ask an angry focus tester to leave the room after he freaked out over the game’s portrayal of women.
With Kojima gone, a lot is riding on Konami's revival of Metal Gear.
Not really, Konami is basically in name only and like so many other Japanese studios that have come and gone they are just going to be an IP troll and milk that cow until it is dry. Also one of the advertised features is playing the game from a different camera view while everything else remains the same will just result in making the game easier like what happened with Twin Snakes.
When are people going to learn that all Konami is doing with these games Is licensing them out? They are not trying to revive their game development Branch and they are not the ones developing this. It is studios that came to them and asked to use the license to make a game and they have been doing this pretty much since MGSV
Remaking all his work reaks of desperation. The only reason they are getting away with it is everyones deep love for the series. If delta is successful (which as of right now it should be), they'll be sure to remake all of them.
Big shoes to fill, and compared to SH2 - this is as much a 1:1 remake as you can get. You can still see the PS2 bones in the movements and how the cutscenes have the same angles. If anything, I'd have preferred the reverse.... with SH2 being closer to a 1:1 remake but prettier, and have MGS3 have a little more freedom.
Ideally, MGS3 with a MGSV skin in terms of gameplay and freedom of approach. This is more like a high budget remaster than a remake. Having recently replayed the Bluepoint remaster, this is going to be like that same experience but even prettier.
But, as with both MGS3 and SH2, nearly impossible shoes to fill if not outright so. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Such is the legacy of these GOAT titles.
It's a one to one remake, using the same voice recordings too. Not a reimagining, no new content thus far announced, just a straight remake of a game that already exists, but now with prettier graphics. There's no revival, they proved they can't make anything related to MG after Survival. They'll just remake all the games and people will eat it up.

Seriously do not read past this point if you haven't finished UC4:
I like the idea having Nathan and Elena's daughter Cassie helm a future adventure, even if it's just DLC. (hopefully she's older by that time) :)
*sheesh, so many downvotes. I only brought it up bc the focus tester complained that giving Nathan & Elena a daughter was shoehorning another female character as part of a feminist agenda. Doesn't matter to me if their kid was a boy or girl, just happy to see someone who may carry on their legacy.
Wow that guy sounds like a complete tool. I mean, does it really matter?? It's not like was shoehorned, it works perfectly well within the story. Just sounds like being sexist out of principle to me.

yelling things like “Not you too, Naughty Dog!” because they dared to make Nathan Drake have a daughter instead of a son.
SPOILER ALERT - DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED UC4
I like Nadine, she's basically MayDay from A View to a Kill - except she lives at the end.
What I didn't like was the lack of control during those fights , compared to the one with Rafe at the end. The Nadine fights pretty much play out the same either way and that to me that just isn't fun.
It's sad to see people freak out over characters like Nadine, but to be fair we have plenty in the media already who freak out over a main character being white, male or straight. So , ya know....
I liked the epilogue with Cassie - although I'm skeptical if they do ever continue the series with her how they'l be able to differentiate it against Tomb Raider.
Personally I'd like to see them continue the series with Chloe and Cutter.
