We have more news coming in from the Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots launch party. This time, we've got the game's assistant producer Ryan Payton and he just finished talking about all things related to the game and what the future may hold for the franchise.Among the most interesting things he spoke of was how Metal Gear Online was going to progress from its Starter Pack stage. Payton likened the game to a "free taste" of the actual thing and said new content would flow in steadily.
"The idea is to call them expansion packs. We have different themes for each expansion pack," he says. "Later on weÂ’re going to introduce some pretty exciting environments and characters that are going to be pretty hard to resist in terms of how cool they are."
Aside from expansion packs for MGO, a new digital novel is said to be in the works. According to Payton, Konami will release one based on MGS2: Sons of Liberty via DVD in Japan and if the demand is there, it just might land in North America and Europe.
Lastly, Siliconera inquired if there was any truth behind rumors that MGS might get a remake for the Xbox Live Arcade. In response, Payton said:
Yeah, I saw that on the internet along with Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Ocelot or something. Both of those rumors are just rumors. They didnÂ’t originate from us, thatÂ’s for sure.
There you have it from the official channels. If you want to know more, follow the source link below and get an eyeful of the interview. We'll keep you posted for more.

To be honest. the 360 has a lot of great games. so it pisses me off when they want mgs4 as well. screw em!
us ps3 people deserve something exclusive.
besides. after about ten minuets of msg4, I came to the conclusion the 360 couldnt do mgs4 anyway. So dream on 360 fan boys, dream on.

Oh yeah it was pretty good but overall, the boss music was not as great as original MGS boss music.
But still great music.
They changed from one tune to another for every boss instead of keeping the same one.
Oh the bad part is, it didnt have the original MGS death song, when you die.
You know what I am talking about, its the main theme song for Snake.
But remake of first game would probably be better with MGS4 engine and such, it was a great remake but it wasnt like Resident Evil remake, where as in MGS4, when you go to Shadow Moses, its different.
It was the same layout and everything, which made it too easy.
I did like it. But stick to the original. Twin Snakes has great graphics and such but the music from MGS1, alot of it is missing, I mean boss fights.

of course, I can imagine someone calling theirself a gamer not having played the original metal gear solid.
but thats just my opinion..

A remake using the MGS4 engine would be amazing, and I think I would definitely buy it, along with all those people who haven't played it yet and won't because its a PS1 game.
I think MGS2 is fine in terms of visuals, and MGS3 still looks amazing, so I don't think those need remakes just yet.

it makes me sad the only thing they can do is dream about how cool it will be on the xbot....and slaming their head with a hammer to get over the guilt of owning a xbot..
