I would recommend against that. Both games tell the same story and share the same gameplay (with a few exceptions), but in my mind The Twin Snakes isn't a substitute for the original MGS.
Twin Snakes is technically superior, with new voice recordings and cut scenes and a more sophisticated graphics engine, but I think the production design and overall direction of the original game is better. The remake also includes some mechanics from MGS2, but they don't add too much to the game, and, arguably, spoil one of the game's boss battles.
Twin Snakes is a great remake, and a worthy addition to your collection, but I consider it more of a companion piece to MGS, not a replacement.
