My main point I’m trying to get to is what about the movie it’s being ran by a mediocre at best director that used a ton of CgI in his movie. Now you want to add Isaac from ex machina he was great in that film because that’s the kind of character that fits him. He is not snake and he and the director will ruin that film it needs to be re casted and needs a veteran writer or Kojima to right it himself and Kojima has to be on set. Metal gear left some things not finished and too many to continue Phantom Pain had some really horrible crap in it the replaceable missions trash the separation of ground zeroes it should’ve been a part of PP and much longer then it would’ve felt better at the hospital. Half of the game is missing we’re missing 2 to 3 bosses atleast and the 3rd act with liquid. The war never really ends if you count Rising. I’m just saying I’m fearful for the future of this franchise but I’m excited finally. The same can not be said about the film I’m scared for it, it will ruin metal gear.

The fact that they have treated a lot of their former talent really poorly for the decade, and chased them away because they thought they could get into Pachinko Machine only to crawl back again with Remasters and throw a high stakes game on Remakes. The other which is an even greater problem is that the talent pool within Konami is unable to understand what fans truly do desire from a remake due to the key veteran talent leaving somewhere else and executives just being out of touch with the industry trends to execute it correctly. For example Silent Hill 2 is said to be a product of it’s time, yet Capcom’s Resident Evil 2 Remake was the closest to Silent Hill blending Action and Horror together, but then you see they outsource to a Polish studio that could not even perform this correctly.

For this reason I do not have as much trust even though i am a lifelong fan of MGS. For Delta the advertising features a unrealistic chase for graphical power that naturally focuses on ugly characters and fidelity that nobody will sit and look at. Than anything with clear color grading, HDR and SFX work to make beautiful characters which Kojima is the greatest on and why I still think he has it with Death Stranding despite it being highly experimental.

I just think priorities are in the wrong places for Konami because Executives do not have common sense, and they chase trends, directors just focus on model details than trying to recreate the beauty that is Metal Gear Solid. I would like to be proven wrong, we will see until then I will be following Kojima.
