Just Add Water answers Kojima's call to remake Metal Gear Solid

Posted June 27th, 2013 at 11:03 EDT by Will Robinson6 Comments

Today, developer Just Add Water released and open letter to industry icon Hideo Kojima regarding his interest in seeing the original Metal Gear Solid remade on his new Fox Engine. The letter is as follows:

Dear Mr Kojima,

We read with great excitement on VG247 that you were looking for a studio to work with to develop a Metal Gear Solid remake using the Fox Engine, that your team has been hard at work creating.

We at Just Add Water feel ideally positioned to do the remake justice for several reasons:

1. We have experience working with legendary IP (Oddworld Inhabitants) and treating the subject matter with the respect it deserves.
2. Many members of our team are huge Metal Gear fans, with very good knowledge of the source material.
3. We really, really want to do it.

For evidence of our abilities, please check out not only the HD treatment of Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath, released on PlayStation3, VITA and PC, but the current re-creation of Abe’s Oddysee, titled Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty.

We eagerly await your response.

Love and cuddles,

The JAW Team.

While speaking at an E3 round table interview Mr. Kojima was mistranslated. He was quoted by GameReactor saying that he was in the process of finding a team to recreate the original Metal Gear Solid. Mr. Kojima himself immediately took to Twitter to correct this error, clarifying what was originally said and apologizing for the misinterpretation. He wrote:

“Chris, my interpreter answered in different nuance that made this consequence. I on the other hand, answered w/ bit of lip service.

“I answered ‘You (the journalist) wanted me to do MGS2 on Fox Engine but I cannot do. I wish if only someone could make MGS1 on Fox Engine.’

“However, Chris mistranslated as ‘Personally he would like have MGS1 on Fox Engine, so he try to find someone right now to do that.’ NOOOOO!!!

“The journalist wasn't wrong. We are deeply sorry for the misinterpretation on our side.

“Well, if there's some creator or team in this world who has love and passion to remake ‘MGS1’, I would love to ask for it.”

With developers starting to line up at a chance to remake the revolutionary title on the Fox Engine, what do you think about it all? Is Just Add Water the right developer for the job? Do they have the pedigree for it? Do you have a different developer in mind? Sound off in the comments below!

Kojima reveals Metal Gear Solid remake, possible portable integration for MGSV

Posted June 25th, 2013 at 17:28 EDT by Timothy Nunes9 Comments

A roundtable interview with Hideo Kojima, attended by GameReactor, has revealed that he is planning a remake of the original Metal Gear Solid, and he's interested in Metal Gear Solid V having some form of digital integration.

Kojima let slip about the MGS remake when a fan, who managed to get into the interview, stated that a remake of the first two games should be made in the Fox Engine. Kojima then said that he is currently searching for a studio to remake the first game in that engine.

GamesReactor proceeded to ask Kojima about the impact of the next generation of consoles on him. He responded, "For us it's not about upgraded graphics or anything like that. We're really looking forward to the fact that we can now use multiple devices to play a game. So whether it's smart phones 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."

Whether Kojima wants to port the Fox Engine to a handheld device or, more likely considering the limitations of current hardware, create a smaller integrated game or application is still unclear.

Metal Gear Solid has already been remade once in 2004 as Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes, a Gamecube exclusive.

Are you interested in a remake of Metal Gear Solid? And do you think that digital integration would benefit Metal Gear Solid V? Let us know in the comments section below.

Colin McRae Rally remake hinted at in Codemaster's Twitter teaser

You are here: Home » News » Colin McRae Rally remake hinted ...

Posted June 26th, 2013 at 08:01 EDT by Steven Williamson0 Comments

UPDATE - It's nothing as excited as anticipated. Turns out Codemasters is releasing Colin Mcrae Rally 2.0 for iOS.

Colin McRae Rally could be making a return if this teaser picture turns out to be exactly the same Ford Focus WRC that appeared in Colin McRae Rally 2.0 released in 2000.

The screenshot was revealed via the official Codemaster’s Twitter account and eagle-eye sleuths over at Gamerzines have also worked out that “the font looks very similar to the one used on that game’s box-art." This has led to speculation that the next racing game from the British Studio, who has recently released Grid 2, could be a HD remake of Colin McRae Rally 2.0.

We can only speculate for now, but judging by the picture below we should find out all we need to know tomorrow.

BioShock's Ken Levine to write Logan's Run remake

You are here: Home » News » BioShock's Ken Levine to write L...

Posted June 21st, 2013 at 05:57 EDT by Richard Archer0 Comments

Ken Levine, one of the creators of the BioShock series, has today announced he has been hired by Warner Bros to write the screenplay for the remake of 1976 science fiction classic Logan's Run.

As there is no current release date for the remake, we're hoping that this will not delay the eagerly awaited DLC for BioShock :Infinite.

The BioShock series of games are all critically acclaimed third person shooters which bear a passing resemblance to the dystopian future setting of Logan's Run.Fan's hopes are high that if Levine's screenplay is a success then a BioShock movie might begin production.

New Call of Duty: Black Ops II map pack revealed, brings improved ray gun and map remake

You are here: Home » News » Call of Duty: Black Ops II » New Call of Duty: Black Ops II m...

Posted June 18th, 2013 at 16:53 EDT by Lazar Odic0 Comments

Call of Duty fans, it's time to lace up those boots, cock those guns, and get back on the battlefield. A brand new Call of Duty map pack has been announced for Black Ops II, titled 'Vengeance"

The pack will include 4 maps, Cove, Detour, Rush, and Uplink, which is a reimagining of a fan favourite, Summit. And of course, there will be one zombie map, titled Buried. The new zombie map will introduce an improvement of the ray gun, which appears to shoot a three-round burst.

Vengeance will drop on July 2nd for Xbox 360 first, which means PlayStation users will probably be getting it around August 2nd, for the standard price of $14.99 or free if you bought a season pass.
