METAL GEAR SOLID 1 GAMEPLAY SERIES
That, of course, means that when the series does come back, it will need to be that much more exceptional in order to win over fans and firmly establish the fact that this series still has quite a bit of life left in it, still has a lot to offer. Metal Gear is in a place where its comeback, no matter what form that takes, will already be under intense pressure and scrutiny, especially with so many people wondering if there would even be a point in bringing the series back and Kojima isn’t there to steer the ship. Metal Gear Solid 1’s legacy is monumental, and people hold that game in very high regard (rightly so), so messing with that experience or with that story with additions that may or may not work out seems like an unnecessary risk. Any developer remaking that game would have to expand upon it and add new gameplay and story content, which, as I mentioned earlier, would be a huge risk (which, incidentally, is why a flat-out new mainline entry in the series probably isn’t something Konami is thinking of just yet either). A remake of Metal Gear Solid 1 would be forced to diverge from its source material quite a bit, primarily because the original game is a pretty short experience, and a hypothetical remake being just 5-6 hours long in today’s day and age just wouldn’t fly with most people. The biggest reason is that, honestly, a Metal Gear Solid 3 remake would be a far less risky proposition, and risk is the last thing this franchise needs right now. And that’s not just because it’s the first game in the series’ chronology (though that helps, of course). Obviously, the original Metal Gear Solid is a much older game, and many might argue that it’s in greater need of a modernization than Snake Eater, but the context of the situation this series finds itself in makes MGS3 a much better choice for a game being remade.

Not long afterward, it was discovered that the LinkedIn page of one Zhiyang Li, who was Lead Software Engineer at Virtuos until June 2019, also said that at the studio, he worked on an unannounced AAA remake of an action-adventure game.Īnd as I’m sure most Metal Gear fans would agree, that’s a far better choice for a remake for a number of reasons. According to that report, it’s Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and not the first game, that’s getting the ground-up remake treatment, with Singapore-based port and remaster specialist studio Virtuos supposedly leading development. The fact that series veteran David Hayter, known as the voice of Solid Snake and Big Boss, also seems to buy into these reports has only made them seem more credible, while Konami has suggested that it’s at work on a number of major projects, adding more fuel to the fire.īut while many have assumed that this means a sequel of Metal Gear Solid 1 is in the works, a recent report by VGC suggested that that’s not the case.

Reports have indicated that Konami is willing to license out some of its biggest properties – including Metal Gear– to external developers, which is something that Konami itself has hinted at as well. Rumours of a Metal Gear Solid revival have been floating around for some time now, with many developer names being bandied about as potential candidates for a supposed remake or collection of remakes.
Recent developments, however, have give fans hope that things might go a little differently. The one-two punch of series creator Hideo Kojima’s departure from Konami and Konami’s own shifting business priorities made it incredibly unlikely that there would be a new mainline Metal Gear Solid game anytime soon. Over the last few years, Metal Gear fans had started coming to terms with the fact that in all likelihood, the series was dead forever- or if not forever, at least a very, very long time.
