Potential future Metal Gear remakes won’t be done in the same style as the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, according to producers working on the series.
Speaking toFamitsu, in quotes translated viaGoogleandreliable fan translatorGenki, producer Noriaki Okamura said if the team were to remake the original Metal Gear Solid, or MG1 or 2, some aspects wouldn’t work with the same “methodology” as Metal Gear Solid Delta, including the “redesign of the levels.”
But that’s all hypothetical, and Okamura is quick to point out that the team wants to see how Metal Gear Solid Delta is received before moving on to future games in the series. Konami is focused on preserving everything that’s come before for now.
“At the time, the number of staff who worked with the original team has decreased considerably,” Okamura continues. “Before anyone else is gone, we want to create a path to preserve the Metal Gear series for the next 10 or 50 years.” Fellow series producer Yuji Koresumi added that they want to make all MGS games playable on PC so people can access them 10 or 20 years from now, which is in line with the company’scomments on a Metal Gear Solid 4 rerelease, too.
