GameDynamo - "I wish Hideo Kojima and company had killed Solid Snake at the end of Metal Gear Solid 4, because it would have been the perfect end for a nearly-perfect character. Solid Snake is the super spy, a stealthy veteran hardened by combat, a master of weapons, and now, champion of GameDynamo's Video Game Character Showdown. With the coming of Metal Gear: Rising, an interquel showcasing Raiden as the hero, I’m getting flashbacks of MGS2. Not the brilliant prologue or the smooth gameplay, but the conflicted last two-thirds which saw Snake going from hero to ‘limited’ sidekick. At the end of MGS4, Snake deserved a dramatic death but instead got a pseudo-redemption; a way to end out his life in ‘peace.’ Can a character as guilt-torn as Solid Snake ever find peace? Would he want to?"
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD have been delisted from digital stores without warning.
Stupid headline. Should state that they are being updated or discontinued. This makes the crazy people that only read headlines think it some kind of conspiracy to take away peoples already purchased games.
If you want to all of a sudden own them now and haven't played them yet because a remastered is coming out, shame on you. I can't believe people are complaining about this 15 years later when it was bound to happen anyway. "A new remaster is out, quick, I'd better buy the original from the shop."
Gamers: "Physical? who needs physical? everyone knows that digital online games are the future. stop living in the past. we don't need no stinking disc drive"
Same gamers: "How dare the delist a digital game that I own!!!!"
And? What is your point?
Same gamers: "How dare the retailers to delist (quit selling) a physical game that I own!!!!"
I think you just read the headline and don't know how dilisting works with Sony. It's common knowledge that:
"Players who already bought the games will still have them in their library and can download and play them as usual."
So again, what is your point?
Konami producers hint at potential plans to bring Metal Gear Solid 4 to modern platforms but stop short of confirming any release.
Out of all Solids, MGS4 would be my top favorite game to be gotten remade. That opening scene with up-to-date graphics and physics? Oh hell yeah.
Preferrably with FOX Engine, but sadly Konami seem to have dumped it.
I really do believe that if this engine could have went with Kojima or someone else away from Konami, FOX Engine could have been great for licensing to others, too.
It doesn't need to be remade. A simple reamstered could be sufficient and quicker. I hope they bring peace walker and MGS4 in 1 combo collection (peace walked would be the 1 that could benefit a lot from a remake though since it was a portable system game and hasn't aged as gracefully)
It was designed for the PS3 though, to the best of my admittedly limited knowledge, due to the PS3 architecture, porting games isn't straightforward. I imagine a remake would just make more sense assuming MGS 3 is a success.
@papabop it was already running on xbox, but because of the size of the game they chose not to release it on xbox. If Konami had that build stored somewhere it would be easier to port, but I would not bet that Konami has anything stored from MGS properly.
Heck, I don't even know what that engine was that had run MGS4 or where it's now.
But somewhere that code must have been gotten stored and locked.
I dunno if it's easily able to just getting remastered.
MGS4 is in a very difficult to work with cage I assume.
MGS4 looked so fckn good when it came out. I was blown away. Definitely in my top 5 of all games. So upset I sold my copy and my ps3 smfh.
Man i'd just be happy to have it on pc at 4k 60fps. One of my favorite Mgs movies i mean games.
I would love remakes of MG1 and 2 and MGS1. MG1 and 2 would kind of be new games though.
I was always hoping that Kojima would have done a modern remake of MG1 and 2 back when he was at Konami.
Remember buying MGS4 when it came out, I was 13, I couldn't believe how good it looked, thought graphics couldn't get better than this 😅
Fingers crossed they remake it, I'm sure they will, they'll see the dollar signs.
I was 22 and felt the same
I got the collector's edition, and was amazed the entire game
I still have the collector's edition somwhere
one of my all time favourite games ever
I was 25 and getting the PS3/MGS4 bundle was my reintroduction into gaming after being out for almost a decade. That particular model of PS3 was also the last to have PS2 backwards compatibility. Lots of fond memories with it. This is why the PS3 is still my favorite console and generation.
Dang, u missed the original God of War when it first came out. I think I have top series, not even top 5 games. MGS and God Of War are definitely in my top 5. So many great life influencing games(im not a killer). FF10... dang I love video games.
Metal Gear Solid 4's iconic installation screen has been turned into an animated wallpaper for Wallpaper Engine.
I’m giving you an upvote to counter wherever that downvote came from.
Classic line!
I think it's coming after MGS3 remake. We will most likely get MGS collection 2
To me MGS4 was the final of the Metal Gear saga. It was the last MGS game that felt true to Hideo, long cutscenes, convoluted but entertaining story. And a focus into what he wanted to say.
MGSV was open world, felt empty, the story primarily progressed through tapes because a) you can tell Konami was pushing him b) fans called for short clips l cutscenes
"the story primarily progress through tapes because..."
Explain Peace Walker's same design.
Timestamp anyone? I'm not watching a 20 min video to hear a single quote about mgs4
BIGBOSS IS BETTER IMO why did he have to die
ps. zero got pwned LOL
Eh...I like Cole, Drake, and Ezio better.
MGS4 was stupid, he didn't need to go into the microwave chamber. Kojima just shoehorned in an emotional scene for no reason.
Prove me wrong disagreers...
@Blacktric He got incapacitated the minute the robots arrived and then lay on the floor being shocked by about 5/50 of them. He didn't fire a single shot so if they wanted to kill the MKIII they could have.
@Nitrowolf2 Snake didn't do anything in the server room, there was no need for him to be in there. Sanke got beaten by the gekos in a feeble attempt at fighting, once again if they wanted to destroy the MKIII they easily could have.
@Raendom Nope, all Sunny did was make FoxAlive which got uploaded by the MKIII, none of snakes doing.
BTW I'm a huge fan of MGS but the whole scene is stupid.
@Nitrowolf, I stand corrected, thanks for clearing that up. Been a while since I played it.
Snake is the man! One of the most iconic and coolest character every conceived. Even if he is a perv, haha.
Solid snake is the king, because as i remember he defeated big boss twice! Snake is the king and then it's bigboss followed by ocelot, liquid and solidus as ultimate villains.
