It has to be done, it’s far too unfortunate for this absolute banger to be locked to the ps3.

[@PerfectStealth]

No reason for it not to be playable alongside the rest of the games. It’ll be challenging to get it off PS3, for sure, but not impossible.

[@gavinferguson2938]

​​@@PerfectStealthThe question is whether or not Konami still have the game files and tool on hand. Alot of studios delete their legacy tools and data after enough time which makes native ports ridiculously more difficult and expensive. In that situation, the studio A. Must remake the game in anew engine with new tools, B. Must brute-force redevelop the tools and skills necessary to edit the game, or C. Reverse engineer the game the same way the emulation community does. Of all the options I expect they will remake MGS4 in the distant future cus remakes are the most expensive so option A is off the table. Between B and C its hard to tell. Konami are lazy as we have seen with the master collection vol.1. Its cheaper for them to use previous ports and emulations of past titles than it is to remake or reinvest in the necessary tools. So I think option C is far more likely, we will likely get a tweaked emulation of MGS4 on modern hardware.

[@LightningBolt001]

​@koivids_ yeah... it's interesting too that it came from jaguarking himself... the dude literally would speedrun MGS4 constantly for WRs or PBs. My guess is that he played it to death to the point where the flaws he sees outweigh what's actually good about the game. But that's just my guess 🤷 I could be completely wrong. Regardless... we need MGS4 on modern hardware, he shouldn't be gatekeeping it by saying it's not a good game.

Re-making PW to have a fully decent online would boost the games popularity massively and from that they could just continue remaking the games in chronological order. Though MGSV doesn't need a remake, just needs kojima back to finish it!

Biggest issue will be the product placement, such as the ipod, the magazines, the codec of Otacon talking about PS3, the weapon names since games nowadays just change them so they don't have to pay manufacturers. Would still love to see the MGS4 experience fully realized on PC and next gen consoles.

[@Neilos-sd6ti]

Just rename them and replace them ez.

[@heart3460]

I still harbor a lot of hurt and hard feelings regarding Konami and their negligence of IPs dear to me such as Castlevania, Silent Hill, MGS, and Boktai. But, I think that I and others feel this way is precisely why we give them the chance with Delta and hopefully an MGS4 port or even remaster/remake. I do have one request of Konami ontop of MGS4 on PC, I want a full restored Peace Walker. I miss missions with random MGS fans, us doing stupid crap and at other times bitterly fighting the bosses of the game with camaraderie and moxie. Bring the fanbase back together, it's due time we all have our common ground. My fave MGS is 4, mechanically it's an amazing culmination of the series expansion on the stealth action genre. Story-wise, a beautiful masterpiece of the same kind of insano-verse realism we find endearingly characteristic of the series.

[@majorborngusfluunduch8694]

If Konami is serious about the mission of preserving the Metal Gear Saga and making it playable for newer generations, then it doesnt matter how difficult the task might be. MGS4 must be ported forward or remade. It is the end of the metal gear story. Its too important to leave out.

[@OperatorMax1993]

What would also be appreciated is definitely more gameplay, considering the cutscene to gameplay ratio (imagine the infinity mission mode in MGS4 from MG Portable Ops Plus, also Side Ops from MGSV too)

[@zachcunningham7607]

never thought id be rooting for konami’s metal gear, but a lot of the developers are long time metal gear developers and have a good idea of what the future of the franchise looks like. on top of that, kojima himself was wanting to move on from metal gear long before 4 ever released. as much as we all want kojima at the helm, all the current developers seem very keen on revitalizing the franchise and are very much open to constructive feedback. this is a very different konami than 10 years ago

[@Sipu79]

In the technical portion of this video you superficially explore many different aspects of the problem of PS3 architecture, designing and writing games specifically for it. Further running PS3 games on other platforms from porting to emulation. It's super important to not conflate any of these things together as they are not interchangeable nor can these techniques be 'combined'. The interesting part of Cell processor are the SPU-units which operate in a similar manner that modern GPUs do, but are not quite anything like them. The main processor on the CELL was a regular PowerPC cores. Xbox360 had 3 of these. The SPU's on the CELL however were incredibly specialized and incredibly fast and required highly specialized bespoke code to execute on them. They are the sole reason why cell is difficult to emulate in with adequate performance in real time and why porting crafted PS3 code to other platforms is usually a difficult and expensive task. You essentially have to re-engineer all the code using SPUs (or code that relies on such code) in ways that accomplish the same thing using contemporary hardware in a performant and scales to different cpu/gpu combinations on the PC or other consoles. Modern computers can do a lot more impressive things that PS3 ever could, but because the SPUs are so exotic, code designed for them isn't easily portable. The PS3 emulator on the other hand, tries to emulate the PS3 hardware and is a uses several (often game specific) hacks and approximations underneath to improve the performance of execution of a specific application like MGS4. It doesn't automatically mean you can take that and ship the PS3 version of the game to run on "any" hardware configuration at a required and consistent performance to actually sell a mass-market product. Trying to create an emulator for this shipping a PS3 copy of MGS4 on modern consoles is a fools errand, it won't happen, ever. There's no option of rebuilding some parts of the game and emulating the rest either. That's not going to work. My professional opinion as someone who's been working in software for over 20 years is that if this game will ever ship on modern systems it will likely be a remake where the game is completely re-engineered from the ground up to run on x86-64 architectures using UE5 in a similar fashion Snake Eater is being done. Whatever the path chosen it will be expensive. If MGS4 is ever going to see the light of day in contemporary hardware there needs to be some kind of an inclination it will sell well enough to justify the work. Snake Eater remake will be a benchmark of that for sure. However there's nothing that says MGS4 coming to modern consoles is an "inevitability". My bet would solely be in the unlikely territory unless there's enough evidence it's financially viable.

[@vaulttraveler]

When MGS4 launched I hated it, nothing clicked with me, I played it one time and did not touch it for minimum 6 years, despite being a gigantic MGS fanboi. Then for no particular reason I played it again for the second time and got completely hooked in it. Maybe I wasnt ready for it.

[@gatorbreath]

I just got the Big Boss emblem last year, so I’m not looking forward to getting it again. BUT, I have full faith MGS4 is on the way and will finally be appreciated by the mass audience it’s always deserved.

[@TheIshikawaRin]

One thing you forgot to mention is that Metal Gear Solid 4's engine and assets have already been ported to PC once before in the form of Metal Gear Arcade, which I think is pretty important in dispelling the "MGS4 cannot be ported to modern platforms" conjecture.

[@kl46nash]

Well researched and well presented! Easily digestiable too, going over all the different variables preventing a port. From my understanding too about the cell processor, not only was it difficult to develop for, as you said, each game utilised it differently. Which is why Sony hasn't been able to make a catch all solution to access our favourite PS3 games. Making all the more impressive communities have PS3 emulation at all. Seeing how Konami will likely have to be very hands on remastering the game due to this, I imagine they will implement some of the potential copyright stuff if it becomes a problem. These seem like rather minor changes when you consider the potential technical scope to prevent a few trademarks stopping a port of a game that will sell well. Especially if Delta is good. Keep it up, Stealth

The only reason this may be more difficult than wiht peace walker is because , this isn't a game that's being actively made and thus decisions like that can be actively done while all the team thst can do it is available , this is going into now 20 year old hardware(as they got the first dev kits out and into devs hands in 2004) and changing what were once top of the line modeling work into soemthing similarly top of the line for the ps3 without over correction

I played it on my cousin's PS3 and, up until that moment, I hadn't had a chance to fully play through a "next gen" game (I mean next gen at the time) and it felt almost alien due to its technology, features storytelling, gameplay, etc. After that I went on to play the whole MGS franchise starting from MGS1 and became a huge fan of it, but MGS4 still remains as the only title that I haven't had the chance to replay simply for not happening to find a working PS3, and a working copy of the game. Oh boy, what I would give just to play through it just one more time.

If Konami ever rediscovers their desire for money, Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2 will have MGS4.

The Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Volume 1 included 7 games, which consists of canon and non-canon games. My ideal Master Collection Volume 2 would include: Metal Gear Solid 4, Peacewalker, Portable Ops, Rising: Revengeance, The Twin Snakes, Ac!d and Ac!d 2. Metal Gear Solid V is still available on most modern consoles, so as long as they don't add anything new, like the unfinished cutscenes, I don't see the need for a re-release. As for the next Remake, they should definitely do Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2

[@douglasmonroe7417]

There's one other issue you forgot to mention in regards to MGS4 getting rereleased on other platforms. You kind of touched on it a bit. But you didn't go all the way. You see, MGS4 was made for the PS3 hardware in mind. But it remains a PS3 exclusive title giving how it has all the trademarks of Sony's product placements. The Screaming Mantis part in particular has Psycho Mantis coming back to read your PlayStation memory card only to find out it's a hard disk. The part in Mission 4 where you're heading down to the underground base in Shadow Moses, Otacon tells Snake to swap the disk not realizing their on Blu Ray disk now. In fact in the master collection, if you get to that area where you head to the Blast Furnace, It automatically switches for you because it's running on emulation. So if they were to rerelease MGS4 on other platforms, would they rerecord lines like Saying We're on Xbox or PC, maybe Switch. But either way, it'd be bad for Konami to release something like that on other Platforms without Sony's consent considering all Sony's product placement. The only way I could see it working is if they did a MGS4 remake. Not remaster. A honest to God remake built from scratch scraping all those elements, and I don't know. Maybe Have Capcom with their RE Engine revamp the perimeters of MGS4 and make it work. It'd still be on PlayStation. But it's also on other platforms with new assets and a new coat of paint. I think that'd be the better option.

Please come true…and please bring back the multiplayer! I never got to play it and I want to so bad

[@Pericles777]

Yeah. Needs to have an unlocked framerate. Can’t wait to play this again when it’s properly updated

[@thechugg4372]

Oh but the framerate IS unlocked, there are like 2 places in the entire fame where you can reach 60fps, the ps3 was just struggling that much.

[@Pericles777]

@@thechugg4372 I’m talking beyond 60. Atleast 120

[@J0nnyallen3]

A real way to win back real fans would be to bring back and keep MGO on this version of the game. That way the SaveMGO team can finally rest and we can have a more accessible version of MGS4s multiplayer component. Also imagine if they added crossplay.

[@cl4p7rapdnb85]

Yes I fully agree with you... give us a MGS4 remake or remaster😢 it's my favorite metal gear game

[@DPR99-1]

I couldn't imagine hating this game. It is without a doubt, my favorite MGS title. It sucls that it is only now being CONSIDERED for a modern port.

[@MrLlama-rc8nj]

This game WILL bring Metal Gear all the way back into mainstream popularity in tandem with Rising. Yakuza 0 and Yakuza: Like a Dragon are a similar case, as well as the Resident Evil 2 and 4 Remakes

[@pepsidude8919]

MGS4 should definitely make it to Volume 2 next of the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection since it's always a possibility for that to happen next.

[@TheInfectiousCadaver]

i still have a ps3 and this is the only game i have with it. its one of the best MGS i swear.

[@Yamato-t3d]

Well they didn't even bother to include MGS Twin snakes (an excellent game) in the first collection so there's that .

[@Tosamnu]

Well... This game has nintendo cameos and Nintendo is pretty strict about this stuff. I mean imagine seeing mario and yoshi on a Ps5.

[@Yamato-t3d]

@@Tosamnu lol they could easily remove those

[@TheKain202]

Nintendo financed the development of that game. They own the rights to TTS specifically, and we all know how anal Big N is about letting their stuff leave their platforms.

[@hatchhyjack]

the one MGS game i never got to play. i've been dying to see either Twin Snakes or a remake of MGS1 released on the Playstation

[@lukeyrs7447]

It’s gotta be in master collection vol 2 right?

[@ItaChu787pr]

Yup

[@ItaChu787pr]

And the raiden game too i hope

[@DJPUPPETMASTER-RESURRECTED-]

I really hope so,Even if it releases broken they'll fix it later but I just want it

[@energiesoler]

looking forward to finally be able to play the damn game since i never got a PS3...

[@mesi1402]

i'm currently trying to convince my friends to borrow me their ps3, i'm new to the series and i can't wait to experience this game. let's hope the master collection volume 2 comes out with this and peace walker.

[@dragonfistX200]

For me, MGS4 that convince me to get a ps3 as i was hooked onto the franchise through the MGS essentials collection. Sinking at least 100 hours into the game

[@neonace3885]

There’s so many games locked to the PS3 that deserves to shine on the new consoles, I wish MGS 4 and the Infamous games to get a remaster or remake for new consoles

[@NotHeresrsly]

Did Konami ever address/maybe 'prove' why they shifted back to actual video games? Why are the people who made the pachinko-decision in different positions now? Like, did they lose out on money from pachinko machines due to the pandemic, and were like, "well, even though the upfront investment is higher, the longer term would be better" or something? I'm just surprised they didn't shift to like, online gambling or something instead (especially when they didn't upscale the MGS Master Collection to HD Collection levels in the first place, etc)

[@WastedPot]

I hope your right. My journey started with 4 and I've not had access to it for far too long. I was just debating whether I might resort to emulation. I read it didn't run great so I've put it off so far.

[@biggerizzy]

Im waiting for them to do some kind of surprise reveal when MGS delta releases for the vol.2. Imagine if they also released MGO2 aswell that would be insane. But if not we still have a community from saveMGO still doing it

[@andykent]

It’s not just my favourite of the series, it’s the best game I’ve ever played. Incredible from start to finish. Make it happen Konami.

[@the_boss45]

It’s worth noting that there’s an important difference between running mgs4 and having a full port. Emulation today does run the game but with arguably significant bugs

[@kvasirsblood1107]

I live in hope that the changes at Konami and the remasters & remake of MGS might, just might, bring Kojima back into the fold and give us MGS 6. Also, Guns of the Patriots is my favourite in the franchise and I played it to death. I hope it comes to next gen!

[@bigbosssnakecorn8834]

I hope it has the Substance feel with new features and modes

[@solidmage1720]

Like adding cut content in it?

[@EdouardPicard0224]

Mgs4 is my favorite MGS game. This shit is gonna be huge at 60fps on Switch

[@erevinwinter]

I feel bad for all these new fans who can't get to play MGS4 due to the hassle of it(getting a PS3 or emulating).

[@Ratselmeister]

PS3s are nowadays cheaper then a more expansive PS5 game.

[@CorporalSteiner1945]

​@@RatselmeisterPs3 has better games too.

[@Ratselmeister]

@@CorporalSteiner1945 yep

[@chadgrov]

First game that I ever got an HD tv for. Kinda miss that old Samsung 1080p LCD 😂 seriously tho, imagine those graphics finally in HD for the first time. Mind blowing.

[@b-radvideoshow4737]

They have also been releasing various castlevania and contra compilations. I feel this is a foot forward, but I'm still longing for brand new editions to these series that feels new and familiar. Kinda liken Metroid dread did, Or even hard corps uprising.

[@Sgt_pepper_walrus]

This is the only game I haven’t played in the mainline series I want it ported so bad

[@uglyfuji1452]

i literally just bought a ps3 and metal gear 4 like 2 weeks ago. cannot stress how much this game needs a remaster. its so good but damn the framerate can be tough at times

[@SpokeInNoise]

What we really need is a remaster of slinter cell double agent

[@joshuaschaffer6371]

This game has it's problems. Not enough gameplay being one. I still love it.

[@solidmage1720]

@@joshuaschaffer6371 If MGS4 gets remade like Snake Eater Delta, it needs more single player experience.

[@GetH0NEY]

Please we need Metal Gear Online 3. MGS4 had Metal Gear Online 2 and it was amazing. MGO2 was released as a stand alone game in Japan.

[@Mahdi12]

I owned a PS3 but I don’t have the game, I’d figured to play it on RPCS3 and I’m having fun. They went beyond the lore to go over the past games. If they were to remake it or remastered, I would make longer fighting areas and tone down the cutscenes.

[@kolekacangungu]

14:51 its a relieve to hear that. Those dumbfounded HOD who let go Kojima is no longer seat at their previous positions. Its like those evil bosses in most japanese drama.

[@MGSFan2018]

It has been a decade since I started getting into the Metal Gear Solid series from 2014 - 2024 it pretty much all started with MGS4 as the very first game that I ever played. I've been playing the hell out of the Metal Gear series for a couple of years. For some reason I stopped playing the series since 2019 - 2024 however I have gotten myself back into the series since today. SnakeMGS2018 is the name even though I haven't started playing the Metal Gear Solid series in that year I put 2018 in the name for certain reasons. 8/10/24

[@HangOnThereSlick]

Can you imagine what it would be like if they announced an MGS4 remaster like Delta?

Metal gear Solid V is my favorite. The gameplay is perfect. It’s a shame that it’s an incomplete game.

[@robertpadua6096]

What about the rumored backwards compatibility for PS5 of PS3?

[@swaswag75042]

Vol.2s line up could totally be peace walker mgs4 and phantom pain or rising
