Remakes everywhere. I’m not against them in principle, I’ll admit that many older PS 1 games could definitely use a makeover from the ground up.
Like Xenogears, please.
Without Kojima, that’s simply not going to happen.
I’m cautiously optimistic about this one. Konami is obviously involved since they own the IP, but so far what we’ve seen and heard seems to indicate they’re staying out of it.
The Producer is Noriaki Okamura and, while he does have Metal Gear Survive to account for, he also worked on several Metal Gear games with Kojima, including Metal Gear Solid V, Zone of the Enders, and Policenauts.
The Creative Producer is Yuji Korekado and he’s worked on nearly every Metal Gear game over the years under Kojima.
It’s being handled by legacy Metal Gear lead developers that worked with Kojima before, not an entirely different team remastering something they have no experience with.
As great as Kojima is, he can get in his own way sometimes. I don’t think he would be good at making a faithful remaster, it would turn into something completely different by the end. He’s much more about pushing boundaries in storytelling, not adapting already told stories, even if it is his own just being retold.
They seem to be doing a good job.
Wish Konami would have made Bloober do the same with Silent Hill 2 Remake.
A laudable goal. Can they pull it off, tho?
We can just play the same game that we did 20 years ago. Even better so with emulation.
Take that remake stick out of your ass and make something original again you hacks.
It doesn’t hold up. It pushed the envelope, but of a very early field with very limited tech.
3D gameplay has evolved way too much. It takes a remake to make the game mechanics still feel fun.
