New rumours have been circulating regarding the potential for a Metal Gear Solid remake, given that it's the one game in the mainline Solid series that feels decidedly archaic. Luckily for fans, a remake already exists; with 2004's The Twin Snakes bringing the series to the Gamecube as well as into the modern Metal Gear era with an upgrade to Sons of Liberty's graphical and mechanical framework. It purports to be the definitive way to play Metal Gear Solid; I'm here to tell you, despite it being a grand old time in its own right, why that probably isn't the case.
Also, a correction - it was never fully confirmed as to whether Konami shut down the fan remake last year, just heavily implied. Also, wasn't particularly recent as it turns out. Apologies.
