The Metal Gear Solid Remasters Will Not Have Keyboard/Mouse Support On PC

According to a now-deleted store page, none of the Metal Gear Solid games will have keyboard and mouse support on PC.

Flawlessmic1062d ago

why would you even want to play these games with a mouse and keyboard lol

porkChop1062d ago

Why not? While I prefer controller for 3rd person games I still recognize that not everyone wants to use a controller.

RaidenBlack1060d ago

@Flawlessmic
Because not everybody likes to play holding a controller? Irrespective of the fact that the game might be more enjoyable whilst playing using a controller.
Releasing a software on PC and saying it won't support the platform's default input hardware, lol.

luckytrouble1062d ago

Everyone has their own preference. Why do you assume everyone wants to play everything with a controller? Is it suddenly a bad thing if people actually have access to their preferred control method? Believe it or not, ending a comment with "lol" as if it's just so darn obvious does not suddenly make your point valid or good.

Flawlessmic1062d ago

they are 3rd person action games, they don't lend themselves to being played via keyboard and mouse, just seems like a very imprecise way to play them.

itd be like me trying to play starcraft with a controller, the thought is funny to me as that would just be weird.

anyways didnt mean to insult, just seems a weird way to play those games, id say konami agrees.

Omegasyde1062d ago

^ played StarCraft N64 just fine (KBM still was preferred though).

The point is why not have the option to?

Flawlessmic1062d ago

like i said didnt mean to insult and obvs allowing people a choice is preferred.

all i meant was it seems a weird way to play, nothing more nothing less

FinalFantasyFanatic1062d ago

@Flawlessmic,
3rd person action games are perfect for Keyboard and Mouse, don't know how you could ever justify otherwise.

ZycoFox1062d ago

@FinalFantasyFanatic

Indeed, keyboard and mouse is ideal for quite a few game types, like management/sim style games, RTS, first person, third person.

Then you have racing/fighting games etc which work better with a controller.

FinalFantasyFanatic1061d ago

Okay guys, if you're going to disagree, you'll have to justify your sh**y opinion, how does 3rd person not work with a Keyboard and Mouse?

@Number1TailzFan,
I agree that Racing games and Fighting games are better with a controller, I can make do with K&M on racing games, but it's not ideal, a racing wheel would be best, but I don't want to fork out for it. And I just can't do fighting games with a K&M, I've tried, but it's impossible, I need the D-Pad at least, I can't do the circular D-Pad motions with a K&M.

I would, but if it doesn't support it, I'll just use a blue tooth controller, I have an 8bit do controller just for this reason.

just_looken1062d ago

not a excuse when the old ones were on pc mgs 1 mgs 2

Keyboard/mouse worked then it can work now

Kinda weird but I'm sure someone will mode it in there on PC. Where there is a will there is a way.

Double_O_Revan1062d ago

Wasn't MGS1 released on PC back in the day? What were the controls back then? Surely it had keyboard support.

just_looken1062d ago

That one and mgs2 are on pc with full kb/m support

GOG has both if you got a pc check them out

This may be the wrong article to ask this on, but I genuinely have a question: is Metal Gear Solid Delta really set to just be the same game, but just with a graphics overhaul? I read somewhere they were just going to reuse Metal Gear Solid 3's dialogue and soundbites, but I want to know if this has been confirmed or anything...

DarXyde1062d ago

Last I checked, that's correct. So... David Hayter as BB, no new recordings, etc. Functionally a very safe remake.

Monstieur1061d ago (Edited 1061d ago )

MGS makes use of the pressure sensitive face buttons and triggers on the PS2 controller to aim down sights / fire and peek around corners. If you had a fake controller, you couldn't play the game properly.

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."

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.
