Who would actually want to play Metal Gear games?? They are so old...and Konami wouldn't bother going back that far reviving those games....The Metal Gear Solid brand is better.....and regular Metal Gear was just showing the start of snake...as Metal Gear Solid 3:Snake Eater, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, and Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops....but all the Metal Gear games in those...so there is little need for those games to come back...and besides their packed in Metal Gear Solid 3: Substience...the recently better verison of Snake Eater with added on Online play....

 

FF's old, Mario's old, Zelda's old, whats the deal?

Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence

The North American cover of Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence

Subsistence was released in Japan on December 22, 2005, later in North America on March 14, 2006,[7] in Europe on October 6, 2006 and in Australia on October 13, 2006.[55] Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence continues the Metal Gear Solid series tradition of follow-up enhanced, international version releases. While previous releases, such as Metal Gear Solid: Integral and Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance included skill challenge missions and/or side story missions, Subsistence eschews the extra single-player missions to include updated versions of the series' first two games, Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake[56] (based on their MSX 2 releases[42]), a brand-new competitive online mode, and a significantly changed camera in the main portion of the game.[57]

Subsistence's online mode. Here, the GRU team faces off against the KGB team.

Subsistence's online multiplayer component, titled Metal Gear Online, is comprised of five tournament-style game modes, each with a capacity of up to eight players.[58] This mode pits players, each playing as a generic soldier against each other in deathmatch battles and variations of capture the flag, using stages, items, maneuvers, and units (such as the KGB, GRU or Ocelot Unit) from the main game.[56] Depending on server settings, each round the highest-scoring player in each unit automatically assumes the role of one of the main characters (or Reiko Hinomoto from Rumble Roses), along with unique abilities and/or items. For example, the highest scoring player on the GRU team would assume the role of Major Raikov, leader of the GRU, next round.[59] Konami's Metal Gear Online service for the PlayStation 2 closed in Japan on December 26, 2006[60] and in North America on April 2, 2007.[61]
