What if they remade one of the old metal gear games?

People…. Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid are the same damn thing. It’s the same story line. It is all connected. The only difference is “SOLID” and that’s just a word.. doesn’t really have any significance considering that Solid Snake is still the main character. So, yes the series did start on a home computer called the MSX2. However, no one had one of these so if they hadn’t ported it to the NES then you probably wouldn’t be having this conversation because it would have never been released in North America.

Anyway, yeah I think MGS on the wii would be a great idea. Not necessarily MGS4 but an MGS game of some sort. Maybe another addition to the series. Because Konami has already said that they want to continue making MGS games even though Solid Snake is dead. They will most likely have Raiden as the main character, but that doesn’t really have much to do with this.

Um… about the graphics.. Fuck graphics. They don’t matter. At this point all i really care about is gameplay. I buy a game to play it not look at it.

*** missed abit.

technically inferior by how much??… but the direction (camera angles ect), the music, timing, the atmosphere they created , voice acting, dialogue, pace of key story points, suspense and many other elements which have nothing to do with graphics made MGS a Masterpiece.

Graphics makes great games? How about these:
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Final Fantasy 7
… In my opinion these are the greatest games of all time…

Some masterpieces:
MGS1 (yes it is the best one, not including 4 because i havent played it)
Super Mario 64
Castlevania Symphony of the Night
Banjo Kazooie
Banjo Tooie
Conkers Bad Fur Day
Alundra (the first one)
Goemon (N64)
Zelda: Majoras Mask
Wave Race 64
Donkey Kong 64
Perfect Dark (N64)
Starfox 64
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Marvel Vs Capcom
Marvel Vs Streetfighter
Jet Force Jemini
Tales of Destiny
Tales of Eternia
Castlevania 64
Megaman X – X5
Megaman Legends 1 and 2
Mario Kart (all)
Chrono Trigger (PS1)
Chrono Cross
Sin and Punishment
Strider 2
Tomba aka Tombi
Valkyrie Profile
Tenchu (yes the first one, its the best)
…..
Lets go to the older generation…
Super Mario World
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Gunstar Heroes
Sonic 1,2,3, Knuckles, 3&Knuckles
Soliel (Crusader of Centy)
Streets of Rage 1 and 2
Ristar
Alien Soldier
Ranger X
Cybernator
Contra (games for Snes and Sega)
Batman Returns (Snes)
Terranigma
Final Fantasy 3 aka Final Fantasy 6 (snes)
Super Metroid (Snes)
Demons Crest
Ghouls and Ghosts (Snes)
UN Squadron (Snes)
Super Shinobi 2
Shinobi 3
Chrono Trigger (Snes)
… I could go on…

These are all titles, from 2 to 3 generations ago, that i could play today and enjoy more than what is coming out these days.

It seems PS3 owners that keep bragging about graphical power might be trying to reassure themselves that they made the right choice about which console to buy. You may have lost the plot about what makes great games. Its not about how much graphical power you have, its about what developers do with the consoles capabilities.

To be honest i dont blame you for expecting alot from Sony because PS1 and PS2 had an amazing lineup of games. The games are what made those consoles shine. And only great games will make the PS3 shine. Not its graphics.

Look at all the MGSs after MGS. They all live off the glory of MGS and it was technically inferior by how much??…

If you havent gathered the point of what im trying to say, ill say it openly. An MGS can easily be made for the Wii. And yes it can be a masterpiece, and if taken seriously yes it can be just as good as MGS4.

Metal gear was made first from the pc from japan..metal gear solid was first made for playstation..don’t be dumb now starkravinmad

Wrong. MGS was not always made for playstation. If you would so kindly do your research, MGS was first introduced through the PC in Japan, then the NES in North America.

i had a question in metal gear solid 2 substance for ps2 is there more levels then the tanker mission and the plant mission. and mgs would be awosme for the wii. i have the wii and right now there are no good games for it and i am mad so any new games is good.

they did mess up on the computer with mgs2:substance. How ever I stand by the gamecube version. Plus you don’t have to worry about contact sensitive stuff thanks to the stuff the fixed in mgs4. Sense triangle was the only contact sensetive thing in that game they could replece stuff like that with you flicking your wrist. I would love to throw a guy to the ground or slit a guys throat with motion controll. Know look at controlles them self. If you think there is a strong lack of buttons on the wii you are half right. 1 and 2 could be used to eiquip Items and weapons. Of course to do that they would probably have make it so instead of holding them down you toggle them by pressing the buttins. Motion controll could be used for CQC moves. The knunchunk could be used to breacking knecks and the wiimote for slitting throtes plus both of them could be used to choke. They would have press z to interigate and b to search. Then b again to do the crotch grab. – would activate first person view and Z plus – would activate over the shoulder aiming.
+ would pause the game. Z would auto target. B would punch, grab, and throw to the ground. Z plus b would fire. A would crouch, crawl, and somersault. C would… uh? Show you the controlls? Now all that stuff means almost nothing if they are and put a controll option that would let you use the classic and gamecube controllers!

Look the only thing I am worried about is controle but I think it will work. Now the one thing no one seemed to notice was that there was a very good metal gear “SOLID” game on the game cube. Plus the good thing about the wii is that it is so different that the only way to put a mgs game on it would to really think it out work out all the kinks unlike what they did with a certain x-box title!
P.S. I would love to see them do a game about the snake with the anti metal gear thingy. I beleve it was call pylantropy!

The original Metal Gear, designed by Hideo Kojima, debuted in 1987 for the MSX2 computer platform in Japan and Europe. A heavily modified port produced by a different team was shortly released for Nintendo’s Family Computer in Japan and its counterpart, the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), in North America and Europe. Konami then decided to produce a sequel for the NES, titled Snake’s Revenge, which was also done without Kojima’s involvement and released in 1990 in North America and Europe. One of the designers who worked on Snake’s Revenge became acquainted with Hideo Kojima and asked him to do a “real Metal Gear sequel”. Kojima accepted his request and began development on his own sequel, titled Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, released in Japan for the MSX2 in 1990.

After Metal Gear 2, Kojima worked on other projects (notably Snatcher and Policenauts) before directing his third Metal Gear game, Metal Gear Solid, which was released for the PlayStation in 1998. The success of Metal Gear Solid inspired a series of sequels and prequels. Metal Gear Solid was followed by Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater for PlayStation 2, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops for PlayStation Portable, and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for PlayStation 3.

Expanded versions and remakes of the games were produced as well such as Integral, Substance and Subsistence. A few spinoffs were also produced, but set outside the series’ main storyline.

hell ya that would be fuckin awesome just sort of make the controls like res4 just change the running to sneaking and stuff like that. It might not have the graphics but the wii and metal gear definetly have potential

For the PS3, it has been shown that players will have a very wide array of camera angles to chose from – such as the normal third person, over the shoulder and full on FPS.

Now, if it is ported to the Wii, I see it being solely an FPS or an over the shoulder game, because the Wii controls wouldn’t be complex enough to control Snake otherwise. Now, because of this, the game would have to change – there would either have to be less enemies or Snake would have to be stronger. I could see them taking out some of the stealth parts of the game in order to facilitate the transition.

I may be an elitist arse, but I don’t think the Wii as a system is able to make a proper port of MGS, be it MGS 4 or other MGS games. And before anyone says that I’m bashing MGS on Nintendo systems, I’m not. I’m bashing MGS on the Wii, because while Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 have been a sort of birds eye GTA style – even SSBB being a simple fighting game at its very core, I believe that the MGS games that have been on the Playstation system to be more complex than their Nintendo counterparts.

MGS is a very popular series and will stay that way till the franchise dies out. It would only make sences to produce MGS4 on the WII.It would take some time thought to reconfigure the platform. Although Josh D,”there’s no way myself (or many other fans) would ever buy a PS3 just for MGS. Heck, a 360 for Halo 3,” there were games that sold systems. If you look at the original Splinter Cell game release sales of the PS2 sky rocketed. So I would’nt say that people would’nt buy a system for a game. So the release of MGS4 might push the sales of the PS3.

Ha! Someone commented on this post using my name, and I just noticed. How nice. Now, to the topic….

Will MGS hit the Wii? I’d speculate and say no. I would not be surprised to see one of the early Metal Gear titles on Virtual Console, though.

We all know great graphics do not make a game; however, many people tend to equate the two. In addition, people expect certain things from ‘blockbuster’ titles, and MGS is certainly one of those.

meh, even if they did make one for the wii it still wouldn’t convince me to buy one, once i played ps3 and 360 graphics there was no going back, no fancy ‘flail your arms around’ controller will make me buy that thing, maybe i’ll get one for my grama

Sorry, but Metal Gear DID NOT start on the NES, it started on a system called the MSX and was ported to the NES later. Furthermore Metal Gear was butchered in the porting process as the story and dialog were altered and the actual battle with the Metal Gear was removed. Additionally, Metal Gear 2 for the NES had nothing to with the actual Metal Gear storyline. Finally, Metal Gear Solid 4 may require processor intensive AI and complex physics and will have controls that would probably not translate well once shoehorned to fit the Wii. Nintendo fanboys, please do your homework
