I mean, I guess.
Would rather they remade MGS3.
Twin Snakes just left a bad taste and MGS1 original still holds up pretty damn well. Coupled with Bluepoint weak character art/models when MGS is all about very memorable iconic close up character models giving speeches, I just don't think this will end well.
Bluepoint does amazing environmental art. People give SoTC remake some shit because oh no Wanderer looks goofy, but 99% of the game is admiring grand vistas and they were perfect for that. Souls is mostly environmental with ugly monsters/npcs anyhow, so it worked well (plus the NPCs actually looks pretty good in Demon's). I think they should stick to games that are more about big visual environments and less character talky.
At least MGS3 has big open jungle sandboxes and stuff. Hell, remake Peace Walker or Portable Ops into a full fledged modern MGS game.
Honestly I keep saying this, but the perfect game for a remake in a popular series is Silent Hill 1. That game looks like shit and is very dated. SH2/3/4 still hold up ok visually with great art direction thanks to PS2. SH1 was PS1 and is just a bunch of pixels. It's a classic game and a pretty solid survival horror game. A modern remake would be awesome.
See, I feel MGS3 still looks great and doesn't need it imo. Twin Snakes was ass to me too, so I feel this would be a bit of redemption. Peace Walker could use a massive facelift as well (as I thought it was ass also), but then it would just basically end up being MGSV.
I actually like their character art. The facial animations are great in DeS. I know people complain about it, but they're pretty lifelike.. especially the blacksmith. I like watching his iron cold stare with his gummy teeth showing along with his raspy voice and perfect lip syncing.
I can't speak for SH though as I was never big into them.
But with their track record so far, I'm completely open to whatever they take on next.
... as long as MS doesn't buy them up out of nowhere, then they can fuck right off and join the rusty trombone train with other bought up; soon to go to shit, MS studios.
