iRam Gamer has been working these past few months on an amazing remake of Metal Gear Solid’s Shadow Moses environment in Unreal Engine 4. Unfortunately, though, this project has been officially cancelled.

Reasons beyond their control

....Konami in guessing

Must of realised they could do this themselves, just like what Capcom did with the RE2 remake

DarkOcelet3731d ago (Edited 3731d ago )

At least Capcom are working with the people who made the RE2 Unreal Engine 4 footage.

breakpad3731d ago

it was obvious from the very start , that the project will be a demo/failure/whatever...do you want to call it Konami? do you want to call it they failed to attract people for another thievius Kickstarter?..all i say it was obvious from the start

Yui_Suzumiya3731d ago

Exactly what I was going to say, DarkOcelet

Timesplitter143731d ago

I agree with breakpad. No way this was ever going to become an actual game. Not only did it not look the part, but it's also nearly impossible for one person or a very small team to make a game of that scale.

"We have to cancel the Shadow Moses Project for reasons beyond our control."

the property wasn't theirs to begin with. i strongly suggest if anyone with good skills likes a game this much they should do something similar instead of verbatim.

OhMyGandhi3731d ago

I am always confused by these "remakes". I love that people want to do something like this to prove their skills. But in order to really make it a worthwhile endeavor, why not create something -slightly- different with the same aspects and have "inspired by" as a popular byline in interviews, like so many companies do these days, and make money off it that way?

InactiveUser3730d ago

You'd think people this skilled would be smarter. Too many fools announcing these fan-made remakes/re-imaginings way too early. You see it over and over again.. these projects getting shut down. They give the companies months and months to take action.

Rule #1: Don't announce it until it's done.

No way was this ever a realistic undertaking.

what a major let-down, the guys tweets suggested he had good news in march and i thought to myself; is Konami seriously gonna make it official. But yeah, they made it official allright; their idiocity

DarkOcelet3731d ago

Konami are downright Trolling.

They are going deeper into the sink hole.

Timesplitter143731d ago (Edited 3731d ago )

"Konami seriously gonna make it official"

What are the odds that a company would see some random game environments recreations in UE4 and just decide to make it official and to start an actual game from there? Was anyone seriously expecting this? There's no way that could've possibly happened.

If they did want to make a MGS remake, they'd just start their own project from scratch, have it made in FOX Engine, and have everything modeled by professionals.

I know it's cool to hate on Konami right now, but seriously, how many companies have given the green light for a fan remake of one of their games? The only one I know is Valve

lociefer3731d ago

seeing that ''money'' is their biggest problem right now and there is clearly a demand for this remake, it would have costed them way less to back this guy up while saving publishing rights

Timesplitter143731d ago (Edited 3731d ago )

They have to worry about the effect this would have on the MGS brand. Anyone with the ability to take their nostalgia goggles off can realize that this didn't really look good enough to become a real game

lociefer3731d ago

of course they would aid in its development, this can't be a one man job, but all in all, its a blown chance

Summons753731d ago

An unlicensed, unofficial remake being shut down...shocker

Double_O_Revan3731d ago

Exactly. Like we didn't see this coming.

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_looken630d ago

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

-Foxtrot630d 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_looken630d 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.

TheProfessional630d ago (Edited 630d 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_looken630d ago

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

Michiel1989629d ago

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

just_looken629d ago (Edited 629d 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

Michiel1989629d 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.

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.

Tankbusta40630d 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

MehmetAlperTR630d ago

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