MG 1 and 2 possible remakes

[2generic4you]

I think remaking both as one game works best in terms of tying them together thematically and offering them up as a diptych. I think it also opens the gates for some fun classically MGS mechanical stuff like having bosses you dealt with non-lethally in OH reappear in ZL and having vehicular or enemy unit encounters you maybe didn’t trigger show up down the line instead. Like what MGS3 did with destroying supply houses but on a much larger scale.

As for whether it should play like the classics or MGSV I think it’s a tough choice but based on the story and level design of the originals I’d say give it the classic gameplay style. A big part of MGSV is the mission deployment aspect and the large open zones but I think Solid Snake’s first missions should be more akin to the linear procure on site gameplay of MGS1-4. Maybe a new game+ item you get from Venom can give players the option of enabling some mechanics that make the gameplay feel a bit more like MGSV (a demon’s horn?)

Agreed. I'd also love to see how they handle both Big Boss and Venom Snake. They should add a mechanic where Venom constantly sabotages you throughout the game by using his own stealth skills. Something like ruining your equipment, defusing your explosives, blocking out secret paths etc.

I’d love to see how they reconcile the plot of OH and ZL with the retcons MGSV made. A lot of fan stuff positions Venom as the secret leader of OH the same way Big Boss was in MG but actually appearing as a masked commander rather than not being seen until the reveal. It’s a fun idea and I like some of the depictions I’ve seen.


Showing traces of repurposed Diamond Dogs equipment subtly scattered throughout the base could be nice too. The logistics would obviously be a bit mad but it would be cool if using your MGSV save it would pull from your gear colour choices or custom emblems-not for the whole base but just for a few run down bits. Would help drive home the fact that despite being the enemies they are the same group of soldiers we helped build.

I also wonder how Miller would react to us going against the Big Boss/Venom. Will he feel remorseful for helping us take down his former comrades? Or maybe for him it's an attempt to take his revenge against Big Boss.
