0% chance any of this is real.

They're going to hunt down the guy who played Big Boss for five minutes in MGS4 and have him re-record all Kiefer's lines? Get out of here.

Also huge lol at the whole idea of Konami spending any money on MGS again, they didn't even bother to port any of the games this generation (Nvidia Shield doesn't count).

Lol, yeah right.

>Quiet has been...reworked. The character has been split into two. "Quiet" now dies in the hospital after being set on fire "by" Ishmael (whose legit a hallucination/spirit of Venom) the AI buddy ally half of her character is now a Ukraine sniper, Albatross, a completely new character. Fully clothed, she's a mercenary in league with the Soviets. Still an AI buddy, but much more mundane, and is a associate of Ocelot.

Nah.

I don't know about 4Chan and maybe I'm wrong, but isn't it possible for everyone to make these things on 4Chan? I mean, Can I write an article about Half-Life 3 and then it becomes a rumor and people talk about it without a valid source?

This sounds like a "What if MGSV was not fucked up" edition that sounds too good to be true. But if true, damn if I ever needed a better reason to get back into MGSV; game controls like a velvety dream.

The story is only part of the issue with that game for me, the side missions could use a bit more work and be more interesting as well.

Sounds like complete bullshit and totally fake.

But if it was to happen, I'd buy it. Fukushima was always the one keeping Kojima in check.

You know, the worst part is that I'm desperate enough that I could even believe this if it didn't go out of its way to give so many more details. Like the more it went on the less believable it got. If all it said was "Konami wants to milk the shit out of MGS5 and is making some extra content to melt it together with ground zeroes/using cut content" I'd be like "Huh sounds possible."

By the time we hit the Ukranian sniper it was...well, you know.

Guys I heard a rumor that Konami is remaking PT but they want to remove Kojima from the legacy so they are calling it "TP starring Woody Harrelson"

Not sure why Konami would want or care about "winning back" the Western audience. They're doing just fine without them

Finishing up the MGS V platinum now, and would buy this day one if this is true.

But I don't believe it is.

An 8-year old could post on 4chan and that's exactly what we're relaying here

>They got Fukushima to helm the project, he's also the main writer. Team is Metal Gear veterans, with people who worked on Portable Ops and Ghost Babel on board.
lmao. This reads like fanboy wishlist gibberish, the only thing it's missing is "secretly ties into Death Stranding, which is actually Metal Gear Solid 0."

What were you thinking OP?

"We hold a grudge, but only when it makes technical sense"
I was gonna ask why porting this thing would cost more than vanilla, but then I remembered that the last gen versions already exist for them to plop down and call it a day.

Would still fuck with their supposed intent to remove Kojima.

The whole rumor sounds like fanwank to be honest.

The whole thing sounds like a "You know that game that we kinda fucked up? What if we went back and redid everything and made it better just for you fans and the way you like it?" Rarely does it ever happen unless there is something in it for the company and idk what is in it for Konami to do this unless they are looking to kickstart their MGS/console gaming division again. Can't see it happening.

Konami is not investing that much money on an already released and acclaimed game.

The Switch version seems unbelievable. I know everyone says it's plausible and based on the way Konami are and the second rate treatment Switch sometimes gets, I guess it is.

But if you were gonna spend money and time porting MGSV to Switch there is no reason you'd not do this new one instead of vanilla, it's not like it would be more technically demanding or something?

Tbh would have believed this rumor more if at the end it said "and this remake is coming exclusively to Pachinko machines"

Are we spreading the words of random people from the internet?

How about we spice things up, add some giant crabs and add multiverse where all of Snake's Smash buddies come in to assist in battle, every time someone is added to Smash, it becomes an assist in MGS5.

And add a feature where puppies spawn across the map, make strangling them an easy way to grow Venom's horns.

Yep, call it a leak and spread it around the internet.

It's a 50/50 for me. I mean Konami did say on a Reddit AMA from a year or so ago that they would want to win the fans back.
I was expecting MGS 3 Remastered honestly, and I would rather have that to be honest.

I mean releasing it a month after Death Stranding if true? Then, oh boy.

"with Big Boss being voiced by Richard Doyle, his MGS4 voice actor. Kiefer is, however, still in, voicing Ishmael and the Medic, with a handful of new lines"

This makes even less sense than before, lmao.

And this is one of the most obvious fakes we've seen in a while, not sure why it's getting the time of day.

Err, how is this an attempt to win back players? It sounds really dodgy?

That's not even getting into how implausible it is.

I was thinking the same, but then I remembered that last gen versions exist.

They may just figure that just porting those would be cheaper, although I dunno if it works like that.

The Quiet thing tells me this is fake. Also, Konami can fuck off cause i'm not buying any of their new releases anymore. Death Stranding will show them the pain!

Sigh no, just make a new game isntead of messing with a existing one.
It's just going to feel fake no matter what they do.
Make a new Metal Gear instead.
