Virtuos employee confirms “unannounced remake” amid ‘Metal Gear Solid 3’ rumors

It looks like the rumored Metal Gear Solid 3 remake was real and could be snaking its way to an announcement soon. The developer behind the remake used woodland camo in a desert region — rookie mistake. 

It looks like the rumored Metal Gear Solid 3 remake was real and could be snaking its way to an announcement soon. The developer behind the remake used woodland camo in a desert region — rookie mistake. 

Last month, VGC reported that Konami is planning to revive its dormant series, such as Silent Hill, Castlevania, and Metal Gear Solid. The studio behind the latter, according to the report, is Virtuos, a Chinese video game company that has a long history of ports and triple-A development support. 

Virtuos is one of the largest video game companies in the world, and you’ve probably played games the studio has worked on without even realizing it. Uncharted 4, Battlefield 1, and Horizon Zero Dawn are just some games Virtuos has supported. Elsewhere, Virtuos brought Dark Souls Remastered, The Outer Worlds, and BioShock to Nintendo Switch. 

It looks like its next project will be the most ambitious yet — recreating what’s considered by many as the best Metal Gear Solid game ever made. An employee at Virtuos seemingly confirmed the rumors in their job description on LinkedIn. 

The post confirms that Virtuos is working on an “unannounced [triple-A] action-adventure game remake” and is targeting 4K resolutions on certain platforms. 

According to VGC, remasters of the first two Metal Gear Solid games will be launching prior to the release of the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake. 

The original game landed on PlayStation 2 in 2004. It follows the story of Naked Snake prior to his transformation into Big Boss. Snake is trapped behind enemy lines and must eat snakes — hence why it’s called Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater — and use camouflage and stealth to survive. There’s also a bit where you climb a ladder for about ten minutes, and everyone loves it. 

Series creator Hideo Kojima likely won’t be involved with the project, but Kojima likely will keep up with the incredible tweets. It’s just a shame we probably won’t ever see his take on Silent Hill.

All isn’t lost, however. There are “multiple” Silent Hill projects in the works at external studios, according to VGC. The Medium developer Bloober Team has been heavily rumored to be one of the studios working on the horror series.

‘Metal Gear Solid’ creator Hideo Kojima wants to play ‘Deathloop’ even if it makes him sick

Motion sickness can be a total pain.

Deathloop is the talk of the town right now, and even Hideo Kojima of Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding fame couldn’t help jumping on the hype train. Though he’s a little concerned that it’ll, well, make him motion sick. 

Deathloop, the latest shooter from developer Arkane Studios, is all about high-flying antics and time travel. It’s the kind of game that’ll surely test your noggin as well as any spatial awareness issues you might have. Kojima, who’s known for mind-bending games himself, is eager to give Deathloop a try. The trouble is, he’s not sure he can handle its first-person perspective.

“Deathloop. It’s a time loop game with an interesting system,” Kojima said on Twitter. “I want to play it, but it’s an FPS, and I’ll probably get 3D-sick. Hmmm.” 

He went on to claim that beyond FPS games, loads of activities make him sick: swings, theme park rides, and even riding at the front of buses!

Check out Kojima’s comments for yourself below.

Many of Kojima’s peers and fans shared similar sentiments or tips on how to not hurl while playing Deathloop. Or they chimed in with a cheeky joke

Oh, and the official Deathloop Twitter account had some advice for Kojima too.

Hopefully Kojima can find a way to play, without getting nauseous, of course!
