Wait, Are We Getting Some Metal Gear Solid News Next Week?

It's Konami. It's probably a cheap remaster of MGS2.
The MGS1 Blue Point remake rumours are just that. About as accurate as Sony Japan Studio making a Silent Hill game...

I think it'll be the rumoured Bluepoint PS5 remake of MGS1.

Metal Gear saturday morning cartoon with a catchy theme tune

Just remake MGS1 and 3 in Fox Engine already Konami. I'd buy both in a hearbeat.

Unless Kojima is involved, I don't think I want to see an MGS remake.

Not daring to dream. If I had to make a guess, my money would be on them porting the MGS HD collection to Switch

Imagine if Metal Gear Survive 2

@gollumb82
As much I want that, with Kojima gone, Konami has no idea how to improve and update the Fox Engine.
They're shifting PES (longest user of Fox) to UE4 this year.

Damn a remake of MGS1 would be incredible. I don't even remember that game it's been so long.

@chicken_chaser
Sigh. I keep going back to these Youtube clips from Konami's MGS3 pachinko machines wishing MGS3 got a remake it deserves, but it's probably not going to happen. At least Xbox lets me play MGS HD Collection, as opposed to the series' home console, hah!

@blinx01 The cheap remaster of MGS2 already came out on GOG lol

MGS1 Remake sounds amazing but honestly I'm not at all expecting it to come to Xbox. For some reason that particular game has been firmly associated with Sony outside Twin Snakes. They didn't even put it in HD Collection when it absolutely should've been there

@Gamer83 He wasn't the guy in charge the last time MGS1 was remade either and it turned out pretty well

@SegataSanshiro
I get what you're saying. Blue Point "Remake" projects are basically glorified Remasters than Full-blown Remakes.
MGS1 remake would require RE2-esque approach.

I wouldn't mind some remakes but any "new" games just won't feel the same without kojima

If it ain't kojima it ain't metal gear.

@chicken_chaser Nah RE2 is too drastic. Like that's a new game

MGS was designed in a very particular way where I feel if they overhaul it too much it'll lose its original identity. Like I've heard people throw around the idea they should incorporate MGSV mechanics into MGS1 and I honestly think that's a terrible idea because MGS1 has no place for stuff like airstrikes or base building or running around Shadow Moses on the D-Horse or anything like that

Twin Snakes I already felt was way easier than the original due to the fact they put MGS2 mechanics back into MGS1 without redesigning the game around them and it took a lot of the challenge that was there in the original out. I'd honestly prefer something more shot for shot here

@SegataSanshiro
Yep. This is why I think the rumours are just baseless and made up by PlayStation fans on what they'd like to see happen rather what is actually happening.
The only link is the fact the MGS2 and MGS3 ports were actually handled by Blue Point for the Xbox 360.
What Blue Point are most likely working on is a Bloodborne remaster, rumoured to release on PS5/PC this fall.

@SegataSanshiro Honestly I want to call Twin Snakes a reimagining in a sense because its tone and adaptation definitely helped it stand alone in a sense from the original

I think a current day remake should basically try to preserve as much of the original PS1 game as possible personally. Twin Snakes alienated some people due to the more stylish camerawork and more energetic "2000's action movie" tone as a result of Ryuhei Kitamura's directorial contributions which Kojima had a hand in okaying, so I'd actually want this remake to basically be what Crash N. Sane trilogy or Demon's Souls was but for MGS

The thing that made MGS special mechanically compared to the other Solid entries was that it was basically a 3D version of the MSX games and the top down perspective worked in adding a sense of clausterphobia and even isolation within the context of how industrial the environments looked. I feel like that kind of stuff could potentially be lost if you add in too many things that reflect the skillset the Snakes have in the subsequent games that isn't incremental like crouchwalking or first person aiming for example

@blinx01 I wouldn't count at all on Bloodborne happening, especially after what happened to Japan Studio recently

They might still be able to do a PS5 patch but a full on re-release like what Spider-Man got seems to be off the table now

I'm of the "believe it when I see it" mentality when it comes to MGS but I do think there is something happening here, especially given they just re-released the PC versions of MGS1 and 2 on GOG

I think for now the more likely scenario is probably an HD Collection remaster on current gen or a Legacy Collection port on PS5 with a new version of MGS4

@SegataSanshiro I think with FF7R it was a special case considering people like Kitase were saying they were basically waiting for the right time to say yes to remaking Final Fantasy VII, so I think it was always their intention that if they were ever going to do it, they were going the route they did with basically taking all they learned from making the Compilation games and using it to basically redo Final Fantasy VII, not necessarily just "remake" it

It's a remake in the sense that the general plot is going to be the same and the big pivotal story moments are likely remaining unchanged. I wouldn't expect THAT much out of Konami especially if they're outsourcing their future games now like GetsuFumaDen on Switch seemingly suggests they are based on those rumors from a while back

@TheFrenchiestFry
Bloodborne wouldn't require any work from Sony Japan Studio.
Blue Point would just take the PS4 code to remaster for PS5/PC.
It's been heavily rumoured by 'CrazyLeaksOnATrain' on Twitter, who's got quite a few things correct to date.

As for MGS, I think it will be just the MGS HD collection, remastered and ported to PS4/XB1/PC.
Currently lost on PS3 and PS Vita with the store closing, and only playable on XB1 and Series consoles thanks to BC.
That's the cheapest cash-in available for Konami. LOL

Not really interested in anything Konami has to offer unless it's a remaster, and only if they outsource it to a decent dev.

@chicken_chaser I’d be so pissed lol
