It's wild to think about the technical hurdles of bringing MGS4 to modern platforms, but honestly, I'm just stoked at the possibility of finally experiencing that story again without digging out my old PS3. If they do tackle a remake, I hope they preserve those iconic, weirdly specific Kojima moments that made the original so memorable.
Honestly, remaking MGS4 sounds like trying to rebuild a classic car with modern parts—possible, but you risk losing the soul of the original machine. I'm just glad we might finally get to play it outside the PS3's hardware prison, even if it's just a remaster.
