Rumours about Twin Snakes

[Dirty Duck]

I see loads of people who really love The Twin Snakes and swear it's superior to PSX's MGS. Of course how good something is is subjective and in the end it's up to all of us to decide how we feel about each entry.

I have never played TTS-I missed it when I was younger and it's been quite expensive ever since. But I'd say the main issue people have with it compared to MGS1 is a lack of restraint. A post Matrix remake which saw Snake doing all sorts of overtly badass and athletic stuff which was never so much as implied in the original-despite some claims that without hardware limitations it would have been like that.

Think of it like the original cuts of the Star Wars trilogy and George Lucas' special editions. He can say it's how he intended it to be the whole time but many people are just never going to like "Jedi Rock"'s gaudiness when they're used to the more grounded and believable "Lapti Nek" from the theatrical release. TTS also trivialised a lot of MGS1's design by adding in MGS2 gameplay without considering how it affects the difficulty or level design. Buuuut on some level that's maybe a bit of a remake problem. I want to play the game and see for myself how I feel about it-especially since I'm a big fan of the GameCube.
