There's actually some screenshots of the MGS3 remake on the official site, and it looks way more faithful to the original game than I expected, like using the same level design faithful. They're all from early game areas though, but MGS3 is one of my favourite games and I played it a ton, I recognised some of these areas instantly. So that gives me some hope for it.
Doesn't show poo poo about the actual gameplay, of course, so there's plenty of room to gently caress up. Do we know what studio is making this yet?

"Why the gently caress is there a bird breeding minigame in a Gollum game?!?"

e: Aside from terrible content, the game also seems to have all kinds of technical marvels like glitching face textures and NPC beards which point up when they look up, not to mention shoddy performance to top it off

What a shitshow for 60$.

If I can't recharge my batteries by eating a glowing mushroom and then also talk to my bewildered support team about it, failed remake.
If I can't skip an entire boss fight by shooting an old man sleeping in a wheelchair, failed remake.
If I can't kill an enemy soldier who is then eaten by a vulture which I then kill/capture and eat myself only for the ghost of the soldier to return during a near-death experience chanting "You ate me!", failed remake.

to clarify on the first one, the glowing mushroom doesn't recharge your batteries unless you're told by Para-Medic that it recharges your batteries. it also doesn't actually recharge your battery, the bar goes up but the battery loss rate speeds up to compensate

you can also skip that boss by just not playing the game for long enough so that he dies of old age

It's even more difficult to get back into than ever before if you've been away from it for a year or more.

The abilities system in particular is ridiculously convoluted now with the UI that they've really committed to never improving.

I have a pet theory that a lot of the management in big publishers is putting unreasonable pressure on studios to release stuff before it is ready because gaming saw a huge bump during lockdown and finance brain expects that level of growth to continue.

The story half isn't much better either, I tried getting back into it about half a year back and it was near indecipherable. They keep putting major plot developments into time-limited events apparently only accessible via season passes, so you're just thrown into a random story with absolutely no idea what the gently caress is going on. A friend of mine tried getting into the game for the first time as well then, and it was pretty much impossible for them.

I will admit, newly released $70 games looking like they belong on PS3 AND requiring a 4090 to even run was not something I saw coming.

I been thinking. All of these shooters are now chasing after the Extraction game craze...but does that craze even exist? There was that spate of games all trying to be the next big BR, but in that case it was because PUBG and Fortnite had become the biggest things in the world, and while a bunch of titles came and went, Apex and COD Warzone managed to arrive and thrive. Meanwhile, on the Extraction shooter side of things, the two biggest examples I can think of are HUNT, which maintains a comfortable and consistent playerbase of around 30K concurrent, and Tarkov, which I know is popular but also seems like a gaming black box: the people who play Tarkov play a lot of Tarkov and don't seem particularly interested in any pretenders. I guess all these devs and publishers are hoping to become the king of the genre while it's still nascent, but I'm just not sure if the mainstream appeal is there.

One would think that a publisher like Sony wouldn't announce that three or more of their wholly owned first party studios are making different extraction shooters with CG trailers within an hour of each other.

At least two of these games swerved from trying to do a live-service game (too developer intensive), to a multiplayer battle-royale (too saturated), to finally announcing as extraction shooters. I imagine these trend chasing games to announce another swerve in the future as they lack any kind of central vision beyond making money.
