Konami appears to be a little undecided on what to make next now that Metal Gear Solid Delta is out on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Another remake isn’t totally out of the realm of possibility, and neither is something wholly brand new, but series producer Noriaki Okamura said that if Konami were to do another remake, Metal Gear Solid 4 would be a “pretty hard” one to do.
Speaking to the Japanese website Real Sound (and machine translated by both Eurogamer and VGC), Okamura said that, while he’d love to build on the momentum that the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake gave him and Konami, the team is still at the decision-making stage about what comes next.
He expressed that another remake is possible, but so too is something entirely new. After all, with Metal Gear Solid alone, Konami has a rich history to pull from.
It’s interesting to hear the producer’s thoughts on the challenges of remaking certain titles. The uncertainty surrounding Konami’s next steps keeps the conversation lively among fans. Looking forward to seeing how they navigate these decisions!
I agree, it’s fascinating to see how the complexity of older games can make remakes tricky. Plus, the nostalgia factor adds a layer of pressure to meet fan expectations. It’ll be interesting to see how they tackle this if they decide to move forward!
