We've been saying that for years now, but what we have in mind is something entirely new... not jumping into remakes of his old games or making Silent Hills (of all fucking things, he's probably the last guy for that one, lol).

These games are all great but all very shallow. Its not to say OL dosen't recognize depth, it just seems like its not a priority to him. I think if I handed him Ninja Gaiden Black and Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams he's take Onimusha and call it a day. He's the kind of player you need to capture with aesthetics and accessibility, once you've got them you can introduce them to the depth by offering rewards specifically for higher difficulties.

Blood Will Tell, it's been ages since I saw someone mention that game. Or mention it at all Now I feel like replaying the game. I liked the odd atmosphere and story. And trying to get insane chain combos later on. By the way, why do you think these games are shallow? You mean purely gameplay wise like number of different attacks etc.? I'm not questioning, just wondering about your thought process. I assume I'm that category too for action games. Although I love VF when it comes to fighting.

Bayonetta. They learned something. Hm, ok. But did they think of the fact that this sounds strange to us customers? They made money on a subpar product in other words but lucky for them they learnt some things.

And Kojma...I don't know. I don't even own MGS4 while it was that game and The Last Guardian that got me interested in buying a PS3 first of all (ironically). I started taking him less serious after MGS3 when he once again said that he didn't want to continue working on the series but would anyway. And I'm also afraid that remakes would ruin the original feel by making the games more "up to date".

Don't you want to see a cyborg ninja Pyramid head with DOUBLE swords controlled by the Patriots while he's also a secret agent for Big Boss who isn't actually dead but shaved his beard and goes undercover as James Sunderland? At the same time the hospital nurses are different cores of the hospital that is actually an AI trying to control the world through the medium of videogames. In the end it is revealed that Big Boss IS actually James but the beard took control of his mind and made him believe he was a soldier.
PS James and Pyramid head get married in the end.

Snatcher and Policenauts for me outweigh every Metal Gear bar MGS on PS1.

They get pretty bad when you have to listen to Kojima explain the plot to you at the end of each one... and the game play is pretty much sifting through menus and the occasional gun sequence (or bomb defusing sequence...). Honestly, I'd much rather watch Blade Runner or Lethal Weapon...

Metal Gear still has great gameplay underneath the story. When I replay the metal gear games I usually skip all the dialogue. Especially at the end of MGS2 (shut up Solidus... geez).
