The MGS games were a product of their time – I loved them on PS2 but I no longer have the desire to watch extremely long cutscenes between gameplay, especially when I already know the story. Even MGSV had started moving away from that approach to game design.
The fact that this appears to be a PS2 game with PS5 graphics makes me skeptical, especially when it somehow costs more than Death Stranding 2. And if there’s UE5 stutter then it’s a hard pass.
I don’t think MGS remakes have really been in high demand, and I don’t see the point in imagining the reaction to Kojima thinking the opposite of what he actually thinks, but if going with remakes I’d have preferred they find ways to properly incorporate the refinements in third person mechanics we’ve seen over the last 20 years like RE4 remake did.
