Like for real, who is remaking it? Konami? A part of Konami?

They are not in gaming since Kojima left the company and MGS Survive was a disaster which need money to give you a save slot.
Are they going to make the same with MGS 3 this time? Tap on nostalgia power? Kojima is not involved in any way, even not advising the project.

I love this game so much, really one of the best games out there. It’s a classic.
Hope it won’t lose its magic and become a sh*t show.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

yep. that reveal gave me bad juju as well

 

[Spyxos]

You're not alone there, it looks a little strange.

 

[intheinbetween]

I believe Virtuos are the ones working for this remake

 

[near]

Worst case scenario, at least they're also releasing the Master Collection.

 

[German Hops]

And why are they calling it Aelta? That's not even a word.

Do you know on what other games did they work on?

Batman Arkham Collection
Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Collection

 

[Ronin_7]

You're concerned about a game we haven't seen anything?

At worst be cautious.

 

[flying_sq]

It's the symbol for delta.

 

[ABnormal]

Well, you can be pretty sure that without Kojima it will be soulless and probably not even refined from the point of view of gameplay (I hope they literally copy the control system of MGS5).
Also, it's very likely they will redo the ost too, but the score from Harry Gregson-Williams is unmatched, so they can only do worse. I hope at least they include the option to have the original ost like Capcom did with RE2 Remake.

 

[BootsLoader]

Batman Arkham Collection
Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Collection

Ok so not so good news. Because they don’t have reputation over remakes. Oh God.

 

[BootsLoader]

That’s the problem, I didn’t see anything and the game is remade by a company that hate ”traditional” gaming.

 

[Fart Knight]

Thank God for Bloober working on SH

 

[Fbh]

It's being made by an internal team at Konami working together with Virtuos.
Best case scenario it's only going to be underwhelming but not straight up bad.

Do you know on what other games did they work on?

They are a support and porting company.
They are primarily known for their ports and remasters which generally go from disappointing (Horizon PC) all the way down to terrible (Return to Arkham)

So you should be cautiously not concerned lol

Be concerned if they show the game & looks ass.

 

[Arsic]

The issue is going to be lack of iconic voice acting, and that this studio has no success behind it.

I’m not hype at all. The collection though will be aces.

"Geez, the immersion is lost, look at this, where is all the atmosphere of the old game ? The old game is way better " a lot of neogafers everytime a remake drop

Remember, if u want to play the version with shitier graphics, go play the ps2 one and leave the remake for a posible new fanbase.

 

[bender]

Konami is trash and they aren't willing to make proper investments for the IPs they are trying to revive. As far as Virtuous is concerned, it could be better and it could be worse (Blooper Team, Konami in-house that brought us Metal Gear Survive or Contra Rogue Corps). On the plus side, their involvement has been rumored since 2021 so maybe they are being given proper time/budget. Just keep your expectations low, really low. I don't even have faith in the collection(s) that are coming.

 

[Nankatsu]

That's secretly the triangle button from playstation.

Next remakes are X, O and [ ].

The Switch port of Nier Automata is highly regarded however.

 

[daninthemix]

Keep your expectations in check, then you won't be disappointed.

 

[Luigi Mario]

It will be some kind of "collaborative" effort between Virtuos and a few in-house devs at Konami.

 

[BootsLoader]

Maybe because the game had to be mainly downgraded.

 

[fuck_diggity_cunt_ingdon]

Kojima IS Metal Gear.

Even if it’s a serviceable remake, without him it’ll be missing that special something.

 

[Trilobit]

You're not alone there, it looks a little strange.

Haven't ever played a MSG game, but I don't see the problem? Graphics look good and it no longer looks like a spinach soup.

i can't put my finger on it, but something looks wrong.

 

[Drizzlehell]

They've literally just shown a CG trailer and a couple of screenshots. It's a nothing burger.

If we had a 15 minute gameplay video to analyze like with Spider-Man 2 then there would be more to talk about but in this case there's nothing to talk about yet.

Sure, but even this Cgi trailer had no soul.

 

[mcjmetroid]

Yaaaaaaa I think the real reason is because people like (I have) will rightly point out why they are starting with the third game as a remake rather than the first.

This kinda hides the fact it is the third game and they're probably hoping to attract newcomers as well.

I agree. People are telling me to get over the fact they're not remaking one or two first but...

Does it not scream carelessness or a lack of respect for your series to do the third one first? Just because it's the easiest one to do?

This all rubs me the wrong way. Imagine if resident evil started their remakes with 3.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Is it me or does the Snake model look “modern”? I’m assuming this remake is taking place in the same time frame as the original MGS3 so maybe it’s me.

 

[Pelao]

How the hell does a studio with such a terrible porting track record as Virtuos keep getting projects, and on top of that a remake of a high profile game like MGS3?
Are they ridiculously cheap or something?
I hope at worst it's just a 1:1 conversion with a facelift, and no major technical issues.

 

[intheinbetween]

Do you know on what other games did they work on?

Shitty ports mostly

 

[Tomi]

We all are, if they screw this up i will quit gaming!

 

[Naked Lunch]

Just stick with the original.
Stop supporting these crappy ass remakes.
Devs need to start making new games.

 

[Portugeezer]

You're not alone there, it looks a little strange.

Worst part is that it looks like a 1/1 remake with better graphics, I expected an update to gameplay but now I'm not so sure.

 

[bender]

[BlitzerRadic]

Damn some of yall getting so dramatic like a bunch of little girls over a remake of a video game lol.

They might just be using the pachinko version assets.

Either the company who hires them just don’t care about the IP or they work for really cheap I’m assuming.

 

[SJRB]

Zero faith this will end up solid [huehuehue].

If you're remastering that iconic, classic and insanely creative game and you choose to unveil it with that bland, boring, uninspired, lame trailer then that tells a lot.

Soulless trailer, soulless screenshots.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Everyone should be reserved about it IMO. Kojima isn't attached, they haven't been upfront about the dev studio, etc. There's this odd silence surrounding it, and I feel like it's oddly telling. But if it changes, and things ramp up later on, cool!

 

[Spyxos]

lol

Compare that with the lifeless trailer

 

[TGO]

Batman Arkham Collection

They also did the very recent Outer Worlds remaster which was a technical nightmare.
