Metal Gear Solid 1 PS4 Remake Hits Kickstarter

Marcus Estrada writes: "If there's one thing that we at Cliqist never wished to have to see again it would be campaigns running which obviously have no concept of patents, trademarks, or any of that "pesky" legal ownership stuff. Sure, they provide a good laugh, but they certainly don't serve the crowdfunding community in any positive way. The latest obvious infraction comes to us via Metal Gear Solid 1 PS4 Remake by Tom. It basically tells you everything you'd need to know in the title - this Tom person wants to make (or at least scam people on the idea of) a PS4 remake of the classic PlayStation game Metal Gear Solid."

Vandamme214115d ago

Why do another remake...they remade the game already on the GameCube....just give us an hd remake of twin snakes

Summons754115d ago

No, a remake would be way better. Twin Snakes was awful and didn't feel anything like MGS1. Original was way better and by most interviews (about a MGS1 remake) even Kojima pretends it doesn't exist.

spacedelete4115d ago

did't Kojima use Twin Snakes footage in MGS4 flashbacks ?

TheCagyDies4115d ago (Edited 4115d ago )

@spacedelete
He used the voice overs from Twins Snakes in MGS4 at least with Gray Fox.
For example: You can hear Rob Paulsen's voice in MGS4 instead of the original PSX one with Greg Eagles (Who also voiced Donald Anderson).

Mainman4115d ago

The Gamecube one was pretty bad tbh. I would love an MGS1 remake though.

Wizard_King4115d ago (Edited 4115d ago )

Unless this is Kojima doing this and I can't see why he would use kickstarter this will not fly.

Metal Gear Solid is a licensed trademark owned by Kojima Studios. So yeah, they will have it shut down or they will sue, I hope they do to.

...read the article...

Some bloke called Tom is doing this. Official this will not be happening lol, shut down by the end of the week and lawsuit incoming.

This is all BS people nothing to see here, move along.

No MGS1 remake to be seen here.

breakpad4115d ago

@Vandamme21 are you trolling right ??? Twin Snakes is an abomination and i wonder how Kojima hasnt disown it yet and say clearly that is not canon and a mistake in his Saga (although he has hinted it a lot of times)

Neo_Zeed4115d ago

TTS would have been awesome if they had just left the audio untouched. But sadly they butchered the audio which killed the whole experience.

Azzanation4115d ago

@Summons

Wtf are you talking about? Twins snakes *IS* the PS1 version. How is the PS1 version better when the GC version is a superior upgrade in all aspects?

I own both versions and GC version destroys the PS1 version. The PS1 version characters didnt even have faces.

user55757084114d ago

twin snakes wasn't awful but that must be some good rock you're smoking. a remake would be awesome it just better have most of the original voice cast. sorry keifer you need to sit this one out

jcnba284114d ago

What are you talking about? Twin Snakes was awesome,still my fav MGS game to date. If you want an awful MGS game look no further than MGS4.

UnHoly_One4114d ago

I am by no means an MGS fan, I think they are terrible games.

That said: Twin Snakes is by far the least terrible of them all. I liked that game back in the day, way better than the original.

Neonridr4114d ago

Twin Snakes has an 85 on metacritic and received glowing praise for taking a great game and trying to improve upon it. How can it be a bad game? The only gripes you could have about it is the voiceovers.. the game itself is a carbon copy of the original with enhanced visuals..

should I trust this advice knowing its coming from Solidous?

George Sears4115d ago

Kid, I'm the only Snake you shouldn't doubt.

OrangePowerz4115d ago

No thanks on the NGC version. Kojima was watching too much Matrix at that time and made the cutscenes basically to be like Matrix. Not to mention all the bad soundtrack changes that they made as example when Sniper Wolf dies or when Meryll gets shot by her.

Kurylo3d4115d ago (Edited 4115d ago )

In point of fact.. kojima had nothing to do with the twin snakes remake. It was outsourced to another company called silicon knights... think it was the same company that epic games counter sued lol... Wonder if they are even still in buisness.

But I agree with you.. when you see solid snake carwheel over a door because he wants to get a better view of a conversation... i just shake my head and realize.. these people have no idea who or what solid snake is. lol.. hes not a super hero..

OrangePowerz4115d ago

I'm very well aware of the fact that Silicon Knights made Twin Snakes, but the cutscenes had been done the way Kojima wanted it. Silicon Knights didn't make the cutscenes instead Kojima hired a Japanese director he wanted to make the cutscenes and they all had to be approved by Kojima, just like the rest of the game.

ENSABAHNUR4115d ago

Xman2K4115d ago (Edited 4115d ago )

LEAVE MGS1 alone. Twin snakes was OK, but the original was the best and purest experience. The raw voice acting alone was brilliant. As others on N4G stated, make a remake of MG1 or MG2 (KJPro only), heck even Snakes Revenge(indie), just let MGS live on without any changes, heck the different tones and musical cues in the Twin Snakes alone ticked me off

@Orangepowerz, absolutely correct, you can tell the true MGS fans

Kurylo3d4115d ago

Actually i think snakes revenge was the one that konami tried to make without kojima.. and then kojima came back and made metal gear 2 solid snake. Made it so snakes revenge didnt exist in the story. Non canon.

Xman2K4115d ago

I know, but nonetheless it was actually ok, and if an indie Dev wants to remake it, I wouldn't mind, but leave all canon metal gears to kojima productions is what I meant.

Joe9134115d ago

There were some things added to that game that even Kojima himself did not like that is why it is not canon. So just remake the original from ground up in fox engine nothing wrong with that.

avengers19784115d ago

Why not a remake of 1-4 a collection would be cool.

MehmetAlperTR4114d ago

I played both of them. But Twin Snake was awfull because of Musics. Without Rika Muranaka... Without The Best Is Yer To Come music.. so terrible..

Malice-Flare4113d ago

as much as i like Twin Snakes, Kojima made the game as a favor to Miyamoto for the Gamecube. i doubt Konami has sole authority to port it to other systems...

better let Kojima make the remake, i can't wait to see how much more over-the-top he can make it...

Eamon4115d ago

This kickstarter seems so fraudulent lol. No evidence of any work done so far. Using the Fox Engine? For PS4? Clearly taking people for a ride here.

Blastoise4115d ago

I'm amazed it's even allowed to be honest. Using Konami's copyrighted artwork too. I didn't realise it was so easy to rob people on Kickstarter

garyanderson4115d ago

Kickstarter is horrible at filtering projects, they really don't try. They just catch them when people report them. It's sad.

DemonChicken4115d ago

The rewards are kind of hilarious, it's so obvious. $10 for the game and oh look, $40 again for the game!

Tony-Red-Grave4115d ago

As much as I love to see all og MGS1 look like the shadow mosses in MGS4, or better. A full remake probably wouldn't work because of how much the gameplay would need to change.

gamerfan09094115d ago

I will never understand peoples obsession with playing old games with improved graphics. JUst will never get it.

Bathyj4115d ago

I'd poison rice everyone in this room for a Tenchu remake with updated graphics and controls.

DemonChicken4115d ago

YES!!! I do the same with an new Onimusha & Dino Crisis but this is capcom I'm talking about

I am still clinging on hope for a tenchu though considering this is still live - http://www.tenchu.net/ think the latest thing was stage play =( http://www.animenewsnetwork...

ZombieKiller4115d ago

but then why poison rice when you have TENCHU! It's way more fun to kill in that game!

Onimusha.....if only. I freaking wish. I would die if 1,2 and 3 were all in 1080 on 1 disc.

Bathyj4115d ago

It sounded a bit harsh to say I'd slit all your throats from behind. I toned it down a bit.

Because people like myself like to replay old games? As much as I like the old games they didn't age very well. Especially not on PS1 and before, playing them on an HDTV looks really bad unless you some converters.

Today’s Video Game Indie Scene Is Yesterday’s Mainstream-A Deconstruction Of Artistic Endeavor

A quote from Hideo Kojima brings up the notion of the wavering quality of modern day gaming, and a deconstruction of what constitutes a good game and artistic value follow suit.

Hideo Kojima admits Metal Gear Solid motion capture was “trial and error”

Hideo writes: "We experimented with magnetic motion capture in "Metal Gear Solid: Integral", and in MGS2, we adopted optical motion capture for the first time. Was the shooting done about 25 years ago? Well, back then, everything was trial and error, but every day felt fresh and exciting."

Does Metal Gear Solid need a new Kojima? Konami have “many people” in mind, but it's "difficult"

It's not going to be the same without him regardless so honestly it would probably be better just to try to do your own thing while staying in the same genre and general gameplay style.

just_looken622d ago

This but also the story is wrapped up only thing to expanded on is another mgs rising or spin offs.

-Foxtrot621d ago

I mean they could have done an alternate timeline directly after MGS2 which just tells a new story, that way they get to continue Snakes journey while respecting Kojimas final chapter, his Universe would still be untouched.

Maybe in this new game Snake didn't age

They will eventually try to continue the story, it's a given so I'd rather have them doing an alternative timeline than messing with what Kojima has done.

just_looken621d ago

@Foxtrot

You mean before shadow moses as that is when he was injected with fox die anyone knows that.

If they went this route then it would open up a flood gate of crap the topics they covered the deaths blood scenes would never work in today's modern games.

TheProfessional622d ago (Edited 622d ago )

The story in metal gear solid 4 was already a huge step down from the first three. Then the story in V was minimized and totally forgettable. One of Kojimas art directors could definitely make a solid metal gear sequel.

Also when you compare Stranding to Kojimas previous games he could easily be a Neil Druckman type where most of his best ideas were from people he worked with.

For example all of the MGS covers and the art style associated with Metal Gear wasn't even created by Kojima.

just_looken622d ago

comparing Neil Druckman ahole coffee fetcher to someone that worked in the industry from the days of msx should get you a ban.

Michiel1989621d ago

just cause he made one game that you didn't completely like?

just_looken621d ago (Edited 621d ago )

@Michiel1989

Because he took a ip that he had no right to say he created but does then at every interview he act's he is the father of naughty dog and a god at game development even the tvshow i will not watch.

People that worked there sense the 90's crash days were thrown out over 85% from the last count 2 years ago of the original team is gone majority left when he took over.

Sony looked at all the people that made jax/crash/uncharted/tlou leaving naughty dog went meh then praised neil gave him the keys to the kingdom. Sense then the entire team has been a dam joke they only made 1 new game in 6 years just a port studio now.

Oh i also like the tlou2 mp mode they promised that was changed then cancelled but hey tlou2 ported 3rd time for pc pay pay pay again like skyrim.

Fuck ND fuck naughty dog 2.0

Michiel1989621d ago

mate... you already compared him to a guy that was 16 years older than him and then ask why he hasnt worked in the industry as long as kojima. Time exists.

Do you really think all of ND will let Neill flaunt around if he didn't have a severe impact on how the game turned out? So you're saying the rest of ND is stupid that they're playing along with his masterplan to take over ND.

It's pretty obvious from your comment you're just salty about tlou2. You didn't like a direction he took the game in, stop acting like he's a terrible human being.

So they should keep making the games they make now and never make anything else...cause thats how uncharted and Horizon came about, oh wait. TLOU would never have existed if you had your way, they would be making jak n dexter 13. I rather have them try something new and fail at it than never try to do anything else ever.

CrimsonWing69622d ago

I think someone could take the torch, but they’d really have to be a mega fan and understand the narrative and quirkiness and humor of MGS and just Kojima’s design principles. Make bosses that revolve around “themes” and “gimmicks” and bring freaking David Hayter back for the English dub.

Tankbusta40622d ago

I have been saying for years that Kojima is not needed to continue this franchise. Revolver Ocelot could have a trilogy on his own with the established lore and it would be fantastic

MehmetAlperTR622d ago

No Hideo ! No MGS !!! Just try to work with him.
