Jim Logan wrote: At most they should do a Digital Graphic Novel of the first two Metal Gear games. Remaking them would really be a waste of time imho. If they did people would complain it's such a "huge step back" from The Phantom Pain's huge map, not being able to go to a Motherbase and customize it, no CQC. Etc. Funny, I don't recall anyone making those complaints regarding Metal Gear Rising (particularly the Mother Base customization and CQC, or lack thereof).

Either way, I really don't think they should do a DGN of the MSX2 games, as that ruins the purpose. We've already got DGNs for MGS and MGS2 that basically are as different from the games they are supposed to be adapting as night is to day, and are often viewed as non-canon, even with Kojima including the DGNs into the Legacy Collection, despite his not having any hand in their creation, much less directing them, simply to offer the player an alternative if they were too difficult to complete.

Besides, I doubt a lack of CQC will be too much of a concern. Solid Snake said in MGS4 that he stopped using CQC after fighting Big Boss because of his reluctance to use a fighting technique created by a traitor to his unit, so all that means is that he can use it in the Metal Gear remake only, since he doesn't discover until the ending of the game that Big Boss is the leader of Outer Heaven anyways.
