You pick it up in the 50% off sale or did that end? Glad you're getting to play it!

I kind of disagree-it may have steered clear of the controversial choices to do with altering cutscenes, voice recordings, level of action etc but the gameplay quite strangely does fall into the same remake trappings as Twin Snakes. That is to say it adds modern gameplay mechanics that make it easier without changing the level design to make sure said changes don't trivialise it a bit. The bullet drop is maybe the only change attempting to add some level of difficulty rather than remove it (and it just feels a bit weird imo lol).

Have you given Fox Hunt a go yet? Curious if you can even find a room these days.

No, it was full price. Got lucky financially this month and didn't have to pay my electric bill due to a refund credit. Had enough to get both this and the WWE 2K26 Monday Night Wars Edition.

Aside from the OTS camera option and the peeking, most everything seems original. Twin Snakes added gameplay mechanics that the environments weren't originally designed for. Everything Snake can do here, he could do in the original.

I'm not really a multiplayer guy and don't have PS Plus (or whatever it's called) to play it.

The bullet drop was a good decision - sniping enemies from across the level with a pistol just doesn't make sense and it needed some nerfing. But all in all - thanks to the ability to move while manually aiming in third and first person, and other Phantom Pain like gameplay features, combat is much easier regardless. I don't think it's as severe as what happened with Twin Snakes.

Yeah, I suppose I can agree with that. And from an in-universe perspective, subsonic tranquilizers wouldn't be able to achieve the velocity of a 9mm.
