It's rare to see Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear franchise and one of the video game industry's greatest auteurs, express regret over his creative output. But as it turns out, he sometimes feels remorse about one of Metal Gear Solid's biggest and most central plot points - and now, he'll never get the chance to resolve it. Kojima's known for a lot of things, primarily creating the stealth genre with the first Metal Gear, then inventing the first-ever Strand-type game, Death Stranding, and its direct sequel. He's also known for his lengthy X (formerly Twitter) threads. 2p3714

Legendary game creator Hideo Kojima is now saying the spiritual successor to Metal Gear, Physint, is still several years from release. Physint was announced at a January 2024 PlayStation State of Play and was described as a “brand-new, original IP” and a “next-generation action espionage game.” Since then, focus seems to have moved squarely to Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, but with DS2's release coming in just over a month, it seems like it will be a while before Kojima's succeeding project sees the limelight.

The nightmare dream sequence will probably be changed in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake EaterIn the original release, while sleeping in an enemy detention cell, Naked Snake imagined he was the protagonist of another Konami project, Guy Savage. This action segment had very little introduction, a completely different art style, and no real narrative. But it was very memorable, and some players even kept a separate save game to play more of it.

Series creator Hideo Kojima has revealed details of a Metal Gear-esque stealth game coming sometime soon. Metal Gear is a genre-defining stealth action series, dating all the way back to the first game's release in 1987. However, the franchise has been mostly defunct since Kojima's falling out with Konami, ending the franchise after the divisive Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain and canceling the development of Kojima's Silent Hill reboot. Kojima moved on to his own development studio in Kojima Productions, and his own series of genre-bending games in Death Stranding and its sequel, while MGS 3 is up for a remake.

With the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 in stores, complex tales of espionage are hot again, and anime certainly is not lacking in that department. The adventures of Snake are often outlandish enough to be anime in itself, so it is not surprising that there are plenty of shows with the same aesthetic, be it science-fiction technology, dizzying gunplay, or intricate conspiracies. Either way, these anime will be sure to satisfy those craving more spy action.

Something's off about Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. New footage revealed at the Xbox Partner Preview on October 25, 2023, doesn't show off its best side. This trailer, announced as a "first in-engine look" at the game's graphical prowess, is the second one to be released for the game so far. This marks the first major new release in the Metal Gear franchise - even if it is a remake - since creator Hideo Kojima's departure from Konami and the subsequent disaster that was Metal Gear Survive.

Konami's Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 delivers a jam-packed and pristine release of a storied franchise. Players who have wanted to dive into Hideo Kojima's beloved stealth action series have had a tough time doing so. Copyright issues took MGS2 and MGS3 off of digital stores, and the last time the games were sold physically was on Gen 3 systems in 2011. However, MGS:MCV1 provides nearly everything a player needs to get into the series.

The Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 1 presents faithful versions of the first several entries in the series with some new features for fans. Developed and published by Konami, the group of titles is a comprehensive rerelease of the beginning of the iconic stealth franchise meant for old and new players alike. Screen Rant recently attended a hands-on look at the collection that showed off what fans have to look forward to.

The remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater has been revealed as part of Sony's May 2023 PlayStation Showcase. In recent years there have been several rumors surrounding remakes of titles from Hideo Kojima's popular espionage franchise, with both 1998's Metal Gear Solid and 2004's Snake Eater being the two most commonly speculated.

Metal Gearis notorious for its expansive cast of characters, although some of its playable characters are more interesting than others. With a complicated body of lore, Metal Gear has frequently switched perspectives and settings over its 35-year run. Even though the game sticks to a small cast of rotating protagonists, almost every Metal Gear main series title has a different protagonist from the last.
