Listen....they can't be trusted with any new game. Give us them remakes and move on.
Remake 3, remake MG1, MG2, MGS1, MGS2, Peace Walker
^ there you go, you have a solid ass roadmap on a no brainer.
It takes a real artist to create something from the ground up. Not saying there aren’t artistic choices in remakes or restorations, but a lot of these “safe” remakes are just going based on the blueprint of past artists, like building a chair from IKEA. Sure, you can pick a color, but no one’s calling you a master designer for that.
Even from the MGS3 remake trailer, you can feel it. It feels flat. I get it’s a remake, and some shots are showing off the new assets, but you’re marketing a 20-year-old game to a new audience like it’s just a patch or an update. It feels soulless.
Say what you want about Kojima, but that man revolutionized how games are marketed. It’s not enough to just show gameplay, you need a tone, a narrative, something to grab people like a movie trailer would. Because you are still telling a story, so that same role of a director still matters.
Thats like if you where making a Bioshock trailer, why wouldn’t you tap into the world, the plot, the theme? Imagine skipping all that and just showing Big Daddies smashing shit and then acting surprised when no one cares. Trailers tell stories too.
Metal Gear Solid 3 has an incredible story, and honestly, these trailers aren't doing it justice. If they can't even market 3 right, I'm not sure I’d want them touching Metal Gear Solid 6.
If they gave us a trailer that teased the plot and made me want to dive in like I’ve never played it, I’d be more open to seeing where they’d take 6. But right now? MGS3 is being marketed like a damn tech demo.
So maybe what we are seeing right now goes to show maybe some respect needs to be given to those cinematographers as the greatest game trailers of all time did not just magically happened to make themselves there was a mind directing them...
