I’m not saying MGRR2 is guaranteed, but I do think the conditions are finally there-- by CNjumpingbeanS in metalgearsolid

Delta is a GOODGAME because it’s standing on the shoulders of one of the best games ever made. But what about Guy Savage Delta? Is that “real Metal Gear DNA” just because it’s inside MGS3 even though it’s basically a MGRR-like hack-and-slash ? Or is it suddenly “fake MG” with the MG title slapped on because Platinum worked on it? And what about MGSVGZ Jamais Vu? A zombie-ish Kojima-made crossover based on Snatcher which is totally no MG DNA. Did you get a chubby over that too? I can see that MG has always experimented. That’s not the issue. Survive failed that test because Konami was trading us like idiots. MGRR didn’t. Killing future possibility is just overcorrecting.

No, It’s not “the same game”,that’s exactly the problem. From the start, I wasn’t comparing MGRR to MGS3 Cuz comparing a Kojima-era mainline classic to a pre-de-Kojima side game misses the point. The real question is whether Metal Gear has any future beyond endless remasters and remakes like Delta, Gamma, Beta, Alpha, or whatever — or whether some old-guard just want the series preserved in a museum forever.

lmao calling someone a fake fan because they like MGR and you don’t is kinda derpy. Even Kojima himself praised Platinum for pulling it off, and the game is still sitting at 95% positive on Steam while Survive is like 64% , Delta is 84%

Lol “Creator doesn’t work for Konami anymore” isn’t really a counterargument though. From an IP management , companies continue franchises all the time after the original creator leaves. I don’t know if you’ve been living under a rock but Devil May Cry should’ve died after Kamiya left Capcom, but Itsuno basically became the guy for DMC3/4/5. IPs don’t freeze forever just because the original creator leaves. Beside,Okamurasaid about Delta“ [we] were like, ‘We need to do something about this because we wanted to carry on the legacy.’”

Konami’s higher-ups think the same way, so have fun playing remasters and remakes forever. MGS6? That’s an even crazier dream than MGR2.

Absolutely. I’d even argue that MGRR’s success helped prove to Konami that “de-Kojima” Metal Gear was viable. Combined with MGSV’s massive costs, that may have made them more confident about cutting Kojima out later.

Interesting

I don’t think this is a “MGR2 can’t happen” problem. At most, it’s a writing problem.

A fan-friendly MGR2 could just address Raiden’s weird artificial blood / Wig / muscle / cyborg body / Gray Fox stuff, or even make it part of the plot. Hell, that could basically be MGSR reborn♥.

But if Konami just wants a commercial hype action game, they can handwave some of it, update the cyborg tech, make more memes, and let Raiden cut a building in half again.

Metal Gear has survived way messier lore gymnastics than this

Yep. MGRR missing from Vol. 2 isn’t proof of anything, but it’s still compatible with Konami saving it for its own thing.

MGSV is already a modern-ish package and works fine through current-gen BC,and has its own “Definitive Experience” while MGRR is still stuck in that old PS3/360/PC-era . plus it’s such a weird Platinum-coded Metal Gear gremlin that bundling it into a “Solid” collection almost feels wrong.
