Metal Gear Solid 4 Remake Will Be Extremely Challenging

Challenging Remake of Metal Gear Solid 4 on PlayStation 5 Posed by Unique Coding Issues

Konami is planning the future of the Metal Gear Solid franchise with the goal of reaching a new audience, but no specific direction has been decided. Series producer Noriaki Okamura explained that Konami wants to "build upon" the opportunity to reach a new audience presented by Metal Gear. According to Video Games Chronicle, Konami has not ruled out a remake of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for the PlayStation 5, but the company is aware of the challenges posed by the original game's code. Okamura told Real Sound that Metal Gear Solid 4 was developed for hardware that "required many unusual designs to achieve the 3D performance of available technology," resulting in unconventional code that would be difficult to present today. Konami intends to tailor its remake strategy to each game because of the unique issues associated with each classic title, rather than repeating the methodology used for Metal Gear Solid Delta. The company has yet to reveal the games included in Master Collection Volume 2, where Guns of the Patriots is anticipated. Okamura's statements suggest that even its inclusion in the collection is not guaranteed, let alone a full remake.
