Kojima looking to remake MGS1 with next-gen Fox engine

Metal Gear Solid creator currently looking for an external studio to handle the development.

Hideo Kojima is looking to remake the original Metal Gear Solid using Kojima Productions' next-generation Fox engine, GameReactor reports.


During a roundtable interview at E3 2013 attended by GameReactor, the MGS visionary said that he's currently seeking an external studio to handle the adaptation.

The original Metal Gear Solid was released in 1998 for PlayStation, and was ported later to Windows in 2000. The title is considered to be one of gaming's definitive titles. Kojima has entrusted the Metal Gear franchise to external developers in the past. Eternal Darkness and Too Human developer Silicon Knights handled the 2004 GameCube remake Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes.

Kojima Productions also drafted in Bayonetta developer Platinum Games for spin-off title Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, which was released earlier in 2013.

Kojima Productions' Fox Engine was revealed in 2011 and is designed to be a cross-platform engine designed around the next-generation: Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

The Fox Engine is powering Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and is also behind Pro Evolution Soccer 2014.

Elsewhere in the interview, Kojima said the value of next-generation consoles was about far more than improved visual prowess. "For us it's not about upgraded graphics or anything like that," he said. "We're really looking forward to the fact that we can now use multiple devices to play a game. So whether it's smartphones or tablets, we can play Metal Gear Solid V on that tablet or smartphone and integrate that into what we have on the console. So people can play the game essentially 24 hours and be in the world of MGS anytime they like to."

Would be kinda dope. Seeing as I havent played them. I tried but I just cant get into them like that.

but I kind of rather they redo the original 8bit Metal Gear games over give those games the vision they deserve

They need to remake all of them, because the controls for the previous titles pre-MGS3 are dated as shyt.

Good. I got the HD collection, but that's because I never beat Snake Eater. Playing through that one now.

playing the Metal Gear Solid demo at K-mart as a 9 year old is one of my fondest gaming memories, especially after reading about it making waves in Japan in my Tips & Tricks magazine...

NES Metal gear 1 and 2 take place right after metal gear 5 so i dont know why they wouldnt. Kojima is getting old and losing his imagination. Stop with the remixes.

wonder how long this will take.. makes me wanna hold off on the legacy collection next month...

 

[A.J.Soprano]

2 remakes for one game?

 

[Clapsteel O'Neal]

might go listen to the MGS1 OST right now


although, Mowgli has made very good points in his posts

 

[Clapsteel O'Neal]

2 remakes for one game?

and yet square can't give us one remake of FF7

 

[Tetris v2.0]

I'm happy. I consider it to be the definitive MGS experience. Perfect balance of interesting gameplay and story. Twin Snakes coulda been better

get to play as the young snake killing big boss

Co-sign all of that.

I see this as a missed opportunity. I never played the first two Metal Gear games so I would have been hyped if those were getting remade in Fox engine. Kojima needs to hop off the Solid series nuts, shyt is looking overexposed especially with Legacy coming out and now this...

 

[FlyRy]

would it take too long for him to include it as a bonus disc with MGSV?!?
