Sensible remake So the rumours of Metal Gear Solid getting a new remaster collection are back again? Seems like Konami rumours are just like the Switch Pro: everyone talks about them, but they never happen. I can’t get excited about more remasters, but I would definitely be interested in a remake of the first one.

I totally agreed with GC’s The Last Of Us Part 1 review, in that sometimes remakes are very useful, even necessary, but you’ve got to know when they make sense. Clearly The Last Of Us doesn’t but the original Metal Gear Solid looks terrible by modern standards and it’s very unlikely anyone new to the series would want to play it given the graphics, controls, and difficulty.

For me, a remake makes sense on every level, including the fact that Konami apparently want to get back into games, so I always thought the rumours of a PlayStation exclusive remake were very believable. We’ve never heard anything about it but maybe there was a delay because of the pandemic? I hope we find out it’s true this year.Pectate

The sign I’m compelled to write in about the utter pointlessness that is The Last Of Us remake. A game I’ve honestly cherished as much as any in its previous editions. Was interested to read your review to better understand a reason it exists and as you mentioned briefly, the only logical reason is to wring money out of bored consumers (as always).

I just wish people wouldn’t keep falling for it, otherwise games companies have no reason to stop treating us with contempt. I’ll be very interested to see if it’s successful
