What about a full Konami remake complete with Keifer, Microtransactions and subscribe online features like Solid Snake™ Life Insurance Against FoxDie®?

No Hayter no sale.

(He can still do the younger Solid Snake voice btw, it was Konami/KojiPro who asked him to make BB sound over the top for Peace Walker and other games. Same with Snake.)
 
Started playing MGS1 the other night on Vita, hopefully one day we'll have an FF7 situation with trophies with this one day :)

I remember trying it on Vita at one point, idk if I was doing something wrong but iirc it kept selecting and equipping different weapons/items which made it really annoying to play and for that reason I couldn't be bothered to continue after beating Ocelot. Shame because I'd love to have fully functioning MGS1 (unless I was doing something wrong) available to play on the go whenever I feel like it.

He had his moments and at the end of the day he was still Snake but man, it sucked to see him going from a stoic hero carving his own destiny and wanting to create a better world to grumble grumble fuck everything i'm a pawn now.

Uhm when was Solid Snake not a pawn? In every single game he is part of (including MG1 and 2), he is always executing the agenda of either an agency, an organization or a person. He is kinda the epitome of a pawn and that includes even MGS2, where he thought he was in some kind of control and yet in reality he was played like a damn fiddle! :)

Basically all MGS protagonists were pawns in one way or another, the difference between Solid Snake and the rest of them is that he never lost hope, he never turned to the dark side, and he always believed that no matter how much he has to suffer he will endure it and he will keep fighting the good fight.

That is why Solid Snake, the inferior clone, who never met The Boss, was in fact closer to her "will" and her spirit than any of the other Snakes, even those close to her like BB. He was a pawn but he stayed true to his values and triumphed against all odds.
 
Current playing The Twin Snakes. Hey,it's not THAAT bad.

it's just that all the (non graphical) changes they made were bad. the cut scenes are worse, the voice acting is worse, the gameplay is worse simply because they never bothered to update the level design to accommodate the new controls

having said all that, it's still a good game and i'd certainly recommend it to someone if they had no other means of playing mgs1

I'd not played a metal gear game until the phantom pain. I'm in chapter 2 and getting close to finishing. I now want to try one of the other games.

I have PS3, ps4 and vita. Was thinking about picking up the hd collection on vita, is this good choice or is there another stand out game from the series I should go for? I loved the openness and flexibility of PP, I know the older titles are more linear but do any other the other games feel free?

I would recommend playing the hd collection on the ps3. It might be hard adjusting to the controls on Vita. Also play MGS1 on PS3 first! It's essential for MGS2. All of the games are usually pretty good about their "sanboxy"-ness but of course nothing will be as open as TPP. The closest to TPP might be MGS3?

Order of release is the best way to play (starting with MGS1) and MGS4 is PS3 only so might as well have all the games on one system.

And yeah, there is no other open game in the series like TPP, or gaming in general really. That's not to say that the older games are very limited in terms of gameplay though, there are still a ton of easter eggs and ways to mess around with the environment and enemies. KojiPro's attention to detail has always been on another level.
 
Think about it guys.

The Phantom Pain... Revenge...

Look at everyones reactions to what Geoff said, or was told to say.

Kojima you magnificent bastard.

Ok, maybe shitting is harsh. But the Snake comment was really distasteful in front of Kiefer, on a stage, &c. And getting the name of the winner wrong too. Embarrassing.

I agree saying in front Kiefer wasn't nice, but getting the name wrong, that was an honest mistake anyone could make.

Not cool for Jade Raymond to do that. Anyway glad MGSV won a couple of awards. And as always #FucKonami

What she said was disrespectful to say the least. And yes I am happy it won Best Action Adventures and Best Score! Well deserved. To me, it's my GOTY. Thank you Kojima for everything you have given us! You're a genius! <3
 
I thought that I would be able to move on from the ongoing fiasco between Hideo Kojima and Konami, and be able to support both parties going forward. But over the course of the last couple of hours, that desire, for the latter, has entirely disappeared. Or rather, it has taken a "vacation."

Thank you. I'll have a look.
