Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snake Confirmed

BreakABone · 05-01-2003, 08:09 AM

Well, in a bizarre turn of events, it seems like a 3rd party is farming it's franchise to a Nintendo house. As Silicion Knights, the creators of Eternal Darkness, will be handling Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes which is a remake of the original metal Gear Solid on the Ps2, well that's just weird, and still doesn't offer up the Twin Snakes thing, but the logo hints at something.

Well I'll be damned...

2 year old rumours from a no name site are true

"Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes is being developed under the supervision of Hideo Kojima and Shigeru Miyamoto. "

WTF? Silikon Knights making a remake of MGS? Anyway, let's hope they can remaster the brilliance of the original.

I think with the supervision of Mr.Cutscene and Mr.Disney on acid... this games simply can't go wrong.

Now maybe Nintendo can convince Square-Enix to allow Blizzard to remake FF7 on the GameCube.

DO YOU HEAR ME SQUARE? I WANT A FF7 REMAKE!

I'm with Stu on this one although I don't think Hideo Kojima will let one of Konami's major franchises go wrong and Tarakan69 which site said that I don't remember ever seeing the rumor.

TheGame · 05-01-2003, 11:38 AM

Hmm, ok, as long as it isn't MGS2, I just don't see how it could be done on Cube.

DeathsHand · 05-01-2003, 12:43 PM

Gah I should have known! Twin Snakes makes sense if you've played MGS... Solid Snake, Liquid Snake... They share the same codename... *nods* *cough*... I knew they wouldn't release the whole new next game on NGC (at least not exclusively)...

Anyways that should be cool... I hope they add some neat stuff and things...

And Silicon Knights better not screw anything up...

And BTW the original Metal Gear Solid was on PSX, not PS2...

Metal Gear

In yo face, Ranzid, diss to yo mama... Really I'd like to see them remake that one more than MGS though... Because I think the NES game sucked ass and should be remade like MGS/MGS2, because they're actually good...

TheGame · 05-01-2003, 01:13 PM

Has anybody here played the GBC version? I think it's great... and I like how you can do the VR missions and the normal missions.

Blix · 05-01-2003, 01:20 PM

hhhmmm!!!! I would have tought that Silicon Kinghts would be making Too Human or some other game, but never this one. Well, if Hideo Kojima is supervising it and if the game is a game that has been done already I can´t see anything going wrong. I mean, they already have a damn good idea of what the final game should be like. And Kojima reminding them.

But gameplay and AI! GAMEPLAY AND AI! Heh... I mean the NGC controller is a lot more simple than the PS2 one... less buttons, PLUS only 2 analog buttons as compared to... Well, all of the buttons on PS2 (and although they're not used in all games, the analog buttons were used quite a lot in MGS2, if you havn't played it)... So is it still gonna have all those neat moves and gameplay thangs or is it gonna go back to the more simple MGS1 way (I mean it's a remake of the first, but of course you want to upgrade things)?...

Plus AI... The enemy AI in MGS2 was pretty good... Is it gonna be just as good or better in this? Or and the enemies are gonna be all stupid-like? I mean sure lots of people liked ED, but I thought it was kinda meh, and it's not a game which requires lots of advanced enemy AI...

meh... it will probably still be good

Give me some criedt, I wrote this up before leaving for school, it's not like I had time to proofread or take my time, but eh.

Konami and Nintendo Collaborate to Deliver Blockbuster Action Title to Nintendo GameCube

REDWOOD CITY, CA. - May 1, 2003 - Continuing to broaden the Nintendo GameCubeTM library, Konami and Nintendo today announced Konami will publish a new Metal Gear® adventure exclusive for Nintendo GameCube. Metal Gear Solid The Twin SnakesTM combines the thrilling story of the original Metal Gear Solid® game with the jaw-dropping graphics and unparalleled gameplay found in Metal Gear Solid® 2: Sons of LibertyTM. The game is scheduled to ship later this year in North America and Europe, followed by the Japanese launch in early 2004.

Bringing heart-pounding espionage action home to gamers, Metal Gear Solid® is one of the most highly-regarded action series ever created. Metal Gear Solid The Twin SnakesTM for Nintendo GameCube will combine stunning next generation graphics and gameplay, an epic storyline and unmatched content designed specifically for mature gamers.

Under the guidance of Konami's Hideo Kojima and Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo's exclusive second-party developer, Silicon Knights, is working with Konami to develop the game. Silicon Knights previously developed last year's award-winning Eternal Darkness: Sanity's RequiemTM for Nintendo GameCube.

"I am tremendously excited to introduce a unique Metal Gear Solid® experience to a new audience of gamers as well as collaborate with my mentor in game design, Mr. Miyamoto, on Metal Gear Solid The Twin SnakesTM for Nintendo GameCube," says Hideo Kojima, vice president, Konami Computer Entertainment Japan, Inc.

"Mr. Kojima and I have spoken about this project for some time, and I'm excited our ideas have matched so perfectly," adds Shigeru Miyamoto, senior managing director of Entertainment Analysis and Development Division, Nintendo Co., Ltd. "It's this shared passion for game creation that has allowed us to collaborate to bring a special Metal Gear® project exclusively for Nintendo GameCube."

Metal Gear Solid The Twin SnakesTM will be featured at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) on May 14 - 16 in the South Hall at Konami Booth 900 and in the West Hall at Nintendo Booth 2816.

The logo

Adn well a little tidbit from PlanetGamecube, there will be some enhancements to the game not found in the original nor Sons of Liberty, like there are plans to use the GBA as a radar and your Codec.

As for Silicion Knights doing this game, well I've only played one of their games and from that, you can tell they are pretty good with telling a story and graphics, but gameplay, hmm...

Bad Religion · 05-01-2003, 02:23 PM

it's funny how the games that made the psx what it was get "remakes" on the GCN, so next generation can we expect a remake of GTA3 on Nintendo's console?

oh and the GBASP as a codec would be sick!
