'Shadow Moses' is the remake of the classic 1998 Metal Gear Solid in Unreal Engine 4 by some dedicated fans. The first trailer for the game was released just yesterday, entitled 'First Trailer' and it is visually impressive and aims to be the HD remake we never had. See it by yourself:

​

Speaking of official stuff, the team does not have carte blanche from Konami to release the remake. However they are aware that some talks need to take place and have posted the following on their Facebook page:

We just need to clarify something:

Konami owns the MGS copyright and therefore sooner or later we will need their full permission.

We have therefore chosen to openly share this project from the beginning so that we can deal with any issues that may arise as they come.

We believe this is better than putting years of work into a project only to get it shut down.

Please, respect this decision.

Thanks for your attention,
Airam.

Konami hasn't made any move as of yet, so we can still keep our hopes up. Hopefully things won't turn out to be as in the case of this Metal Gear remake by team Outer Heaven.

With Airam Hernandez at the helm, he says that it all started as a project to recreate MGS environments and make a "museum game" for those who wanted to explore the base with current technology. Following increasing support and interest for the project from people all over the internet, he decided to make an entire remake of the game.

Pretty models and particle effects, but there's no actual gameplay here.

It's a cinematic trailer for a damn fangame.

 

[Hells Malice]

See it by yourself:

By myself?
...does it have naughty bits?

 

[storm75x]

Remember Mario 64 Remake...?
Remember Chrono Trigger Resurrection...?
...



I hope Konami doesn't jump on Nintendo and Square Enix bandwagon. but considering this is konami...

 

[EntermateStar]

im just gunna say this right now, i think pachinko is fun as all hell, and all the video game pachinko machines weve been getting make me happy

 

[Wellington2k]

So.... where's the game? All I see is a bunch of cinematic.
This isn't a game yet. It's a movie.

 

[HaloEffect17]

Looks great.

 

[Yil]

Looks great.

But is it going to be as fun as the original? UE is really terrible at anything with non-generic(by which I mean standard shooter and rpg) mechanic. Cry is worse, considering how crappy sonic boom is despite looking good.

 

[sarkwalvein]

I'm sorry, but all these UE4 demonstrations simply show that people just don't have ideas of their own anymore. Why make up something original when you can use someone else's property and pray to the Almighty that the owners of said property won't take negative action towards you?

Why are you even sorry?
What you said is sad but true, no reason to be sorry.

Well if you think a grown man walking around under a cardboard box is "naughty", then you're in for a treat!

 

[stanleyopar2000]

I mean.... There is hope. Originally with Outer Heaven konami had no problems with and gave them the go ahead... But something happened where the Outer Heaven team couldn't agree with Konami so development was stopped. So this proves that Konami is possibly open to SOME discussion

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

It combines popular franchises and the addictiveness of keep popping *Balls* into it.

Gambling is illegal in japan and can't have a machine that accepts coins. But you can pay for balls. That's not gambling. You're just paying for metal balls....right?


*then you exchange said metal balls for a fake prize and take said scapegoat prize to shady yakuzza member to get actual money.

 

[Subtle Demise]

These people are idiots. Do a spiritual successor, at least those are HALF original.

 

[FranckKnight]

At first I'm 'Yeah, that'll get shot down'.

Then I think 'Maybe Konami will like this'.

Then I remember Kojima isn't there anymore.

And then I remember they had no respect for Kojima anyway.

Who knows what kind of crazyness Konami will come up with this time.

 

[gamesquest1]

whats this ? another damn i cba making this project any more i bit off more than i could chew but i really want some plus rep from it all....hmmmm what to do?, what to do?,.....i know i will release a "trailer" aka a shoot me down now guys so i look like the victim and hopefully get a job from all the "news" coverage of how evil you guys are

 

[Xzi]

Look, than one looks like MGS and that one looks like C&D

Yeah there's no way this is gonna fly. Konami will just say that an MGS HD remake is already in the works or some BS. UE4 would be an awesome engine to see that remake in, though.

 

[cracker]

"Please, respect this decision."

My poor fellow, Konami and respect go together like Castlevania and pachinko.

That sounds fun! I could see this customized machine in a Japanese bar or arcade being a real thing.

Edit: Wait a minute...

 

[bjaxx87]

If it gets cancelled, there's still the Twin Snakes remake + Dolphin.

 

[DarkCoffe64]

WHY do these fan-developers feel the need to announce their fan-remakes when there's, like, a 120% probability of it being C&D!?
I mean, a perfect example of this was the 3d fan remake of Chrono Trigger: It couldn't even get a demo out that SE got quickly C&D's on their asses.

If I were to do something like this, I would keep it secret until it's done or something, then release it. Even if then I'd get a C&D, it would be too late.
Once something spreads on the internet, it's impossible to remove it forever.

They want to do this as legally as possible. That's why they revealed their intentions right from the start, while totally aware of being C&D. If it works, it'll be a first for Konami and a positive message to fans (if they actually care about them) but if not, it'll just be an expected outcome.

pachinko is like...fun as hell tho, have you even played it? if not you dont really have a right to judge, its literally just more complicated pinball, pinball spin offs have been around for decades and people only seem to be making a stink about it now that konami and atlus and everybody is doing them, you people need to chill

It's nothing against pachinko, I just find it distasteful that Konami would take its most popular, prolific franchises and halt development on video games, what most consider to be a deeply engaging and complex form of art, and dumb them down into something like pachinko, pinball, board games, etc. They've effectively lobotomized their IP's for a quick and easy cash-out. No-one thinks that you shouldn't enjoy these kinds of activities, I can get into a good board game with the rest of 'em, but they've clearly removed all sense of effort on their part or complexity in the experience to sell purely on love for their IP's. Video game themed pachinko sets are not a bad thing, but people get upset when they completely supplant what used to be a relatively more complex form of artistic expression.
