This looked far more solid than I thought.

 

[SJRB]

Insane.

 

[Wastelander92]

This looked far more solid than I thought. Might be a day 1 pick up if further trailers impress.

Very metal

 

[simpatico]

I've got some gripes, but in a content desert like we're in now, this looks good enough to be hyped for.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

 

[Bojji]

Insane.

Looks amazing. Don't fuck it up, Konami.

 

[Astray]

Very metal

It was a trailer that was clearly geared towards the fans.

 

[Roufianos]

A MGS game without Kojima feels like it's lacking something in this trailer. Maybe it's "soul?"

Or, probably just the lack of shaky cam and soap opera effect.

Does it really matter? Sure, they can't put a new trailer together for shit but it's a one for one remake, Kojima's genius is already in there.

It my observation on the trailer, nothing more. The man painstakingly cuts some fire trailers.

 

[YCoCg]

Just a mock up someone posted with it having a colour grading closer to the original.

 

[Brigandier]

Insane.

OMFG it's just not green enough, Without the 20 year old piss and snot filter it just totally fails to capture the feel and tone of the original, Totally soulless it looks fan made... No Kojima No buy.

Clearly being sarcastic I think it looks great and the faces are fine, The hate is strong here, I bet if Kojima was involved it would all of a sudden look incredible and look perfect for today's games and be day zero.

 

[PrefectAboro]

Looks way better than Silent Hill 2 remake. Just replace The Boss with the Pachinko model and we're good!

Now while we wait for this Konami can you please patch in the Japanese Voices with English subtitles for the Master Collection?! Akio Ōtsuka's voice is too good! I wanna experience the entire Metal Gear series Undubbed!

 

[RagnarokIV]

???

 

[Alan Silvestro]

Faces were better on ps2 version

 

[SJRB]

 

[GHound]

Nah I'm fucking good.

No offense but this is a bit of a retard take, colour grading is important, right now it looks like stock. These filters on the originals helped enhance the directors intent, with Kojima going for a hazy western vibe in some scenes (such as the Ocelot fight).

To bring up another example, look at the shit GTA remakes, they ditched the colour grading and now all three games near enough look the same atmosphere wise!

 

[Killer8]

This is currently one of the highest viewed trailers from the showcase:

METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER - 118k
Gears of War: E-Day - 192k
STALKER 2 - 41K
Assassins Creed Shadows - 69K
Avowed - 47K
Indiana Jones - 45k
MSF 2024 - 70k
Fable - 137k
Perfect Dark - 107k
South of Midnight - 32k
Dragon Age - 42k
Doom: The Dark Ages - 84k
State of Decay 3 - 68k
COD - 54k

The algorithm probably needs time to balance things but the likes ratio is also promising:

The people yearn for the Metal Gear.

 

[squarealex]

Far better FFS why is not like this?

Looks really off...

 

[VulcanRaven]

 

[MH3M3D]

Kept us waiting for the releasedate huh?

Fair comments I'm just a bit fed up with the constant hate, negativity and total nonsense from people.

I do agree that I'd prefer a darker green filter that looks similar to the original kinda like what someone posted above.

 

[DavJay]

Color and atmosphere just off. Needs to be more yellow

 

[SJRB]

This just looks weird. It needs some color saturation or something.

 

[mansoor1980]

 

[Shane89]

Is it me or Snake's voice is like 19 year old?

It's the same audio used in the original game

 

[Yoboman]

How do you screw up the faces so bad? We literally have high end models to base them on in the Pachinko game and MGS5

 

[Dr. Claus]

That's Boss. What is the issue? She looks like she did in the original, just with more detail as one would expect.

 

[VulcanRaven]

I have been rewatching the trailer in 4K and its amazing. The clothing textures look very impressive.

Color grading and similar stylistic choices will forever be somehow ascribed to "technical limitations" or some other nonsense. Just like anything that isn't auto-tuned and processed to hell and back in music right now is deemed "retro" or similar. It's not. It was used for a reason and by people that understand what makes games tick a million times more than any of us do.

Vice City is a great example. Game looks warm and hazy due to the filters, it's a way to get the place across visually. It's not like people hit some filter button accidentally for a decade abd someone finally realized it and saw the light.

 

[belteshazzar]

Cautiously optimistic here. Looked great, but you can always count on Konami to f it up.

 

[dotnotbot]

Faces look fine IMO, I'm glad they aren't reusing Pachinko version cutscenes

 

[ToadMan]

Huffing the hopium for this - come on Konami!

But... no release year even....

 

[Gambit2483]

Ugh... what they did to the Boss' face should be qualified as a war crime.

The Boss was never a "pretty" woman so I'm not too surprised this is the direction they took. Need to see more but I don't immediately hate it...

 

[whatup]

Looks like a totally soulless new coat of paint. None of the artistry or attention to detail that, love him or hate him, defines Kojima's work. It's akin to the Disney live-action remake of Lion King.

 

[dcx4610]

Looks good but I'm a little annoyed that this is gaming now - just replay great games of the past with better graphics instead of creating new IPs.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Looks better than the last two games Kojima has produced.

 

[Darko]

Don’t Hayte the player.. Hayte the game.

 

[YCoCg]

This cutscene was released from another build where it looks like the colour grading is turned on, curious as to why they're not showing this off in the main trailers

 

[GHG]

 

[SakkanartSilentJealousy]

Not bad, but day 1 or not I'll wait for review.

 

[EDMIX]

That was some soulless garbage compared to Kojima’s trailers.

Its crazy, but you can literally tell the difference from a well directed trailer to a poorly directed one.

I won't go as far as to say "soulless", but its clear it could be better directed to add more to the story.

I wish Metal Gear Solid would leave out the supernatural elements. I feel like that detracts from the game.

Nahhhh those elements are part of that universe way too much. So it can't "detract" from the game, it literally is the game...

People's arms doing mind control
People who can speak to the dead
People who can read minds

All that shit is part of the IP in some form and removing that is take a lot away from that universe. The weirdness of things makes the IP what it is.

Such a strange post. How did you even get through the Psycho Mantis boss fight then? The super natural elements are part of the series' DNA.

^ This.

 

[lestar]

Insane.

They even remake the trees, this is looking like a 1:1 remake, or more like a glorified remaster

 

[NinjaMouse]

That's Boss. What is the issue? She looks like she did in the original, just with more detail as one would expect.

People just have a hate boner for nearly anything these days. Who cares...the game looks great so far.

 

[kiphalfton]

Bunch of whiny bitches in this thread.

This is Twin Snakes all over again. Don't like it, don't play the game.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Lots of people tripping, it looks great, I say this as a Kojima stan and OG Metal Gear fan, looks like they might actually pull it off and deliver a quality remake.

 

[Gambit2483]

Looks like a totally soulless new coat of paint. None of the artistry or attention to detail that, love him or hate him, defines Kojima's work. It's akin to the Disney live-action remake of Lion King.

MGS3 was already damn near perfect. Also It looks like they updated the controls and a few minor gameplay elements. That's good enough for me.

I'd rather they go this route than try (and miserably fail) to completely remake it without Kojima at the helm.
