A recent poll circulated by Metal Gear Network on X (via Insider-Gaming) indicates Konami is seeking player input on which entry in the Metal Gear Solid franchise should follow the *Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater* remake. The questionnaire, currently only available in Japanese, asks participants to select titles they’d like remastered. This signals the publisher’s interest in aligning future projects with fan expectations.
Options include:
- Metal Gear
- Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake
- Metal Gear Solid
- Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
- Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
- Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
- Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
- Other (user-specified entry)
Despite the impending *Master Collection Vol. 2*, which bundles *MGS4*, *Peace Walker*, and *MGSV* for modern platforms, these releases aren’t full remakes but accessibility-focused ports. Notably, *MGS4*’s availability outside PlayStation 3 hardware remains a lingering concern for fans. The success of *Snake Eater*’s overhaul—reportedly surpassing 1 million sales within 24 hours and earning acclaim for revitalizing the stealth classic—likely motivates Konami to explore further remakes.
Konami’s approach mirrors its strategy with *Silent Hill 2*, prioritizing high-profile remakes to reinvigorate legacy IP. While *MGS3* was a bold starting point, its reception validates the studio’s direction. The community now awaits which title might follow—be it the iconic *Metal Gear Solid* or the mechanically dense *MGSV*. Regardless, expectations for fidelity to source material and modern enhancements will remain high.
What’s your take? While full remakes spark excitement, many simply crave streamlined access to classics like *MGS4* without relying on older consoles. Konami’s next move hinges on balancing nostalgia with innovation—no easy feat for a series as revered as *Metal Gear*.
