[QUOTE="Admin, post: 59309, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/metal-gear-solid-3-remake-announced-playstation-showcase']Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater[/URL] was one of the biggest announcements from the recent PlayStation Showcase, and IGN had the chance to speak to the team behind the game to learn more about exactly what this remake is. While the team wasn't ready to reveal everything about Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater, which doesn't currently have a release date, they were ready to talk a bit about if Hideo Kojima or Yoji Shinkawa had any involvement in the project, if there will be more remakes from the Metal Gear series, and more. [H2]Who Is Making Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater, and Is Hideo Kojima Involved?[/H2] One of the biggest questions many had after the announcement was whether Metal Gear Solid 3 director Hideo Kojima was involved in the project. There wasn't much hope that Kojima was going to be a part of the project, [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/2015/12/18/hideo-kojima-is-contractually-forbidden-from-talking-konami']especially after his breakup with Konami,[/URL] but it was a question nonetheless.

"They are not involved," a Konami spokesperson said. "However, the development team will work hard to create this remake and also the ports (for Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection) so that they can be enjoyed on multiple platforms by even more players all around the world."

The collection will arrive in Fall 2023. So, who is working on the remake? As it turns out, the "central role" will be taken on by Konami developers who have been "involved in the production of the past [games in the] Metal Gear series."
