there's nothing left to explore with Liquid We'll see when The Phantom Pain is released. Right now we're dealing with a potential 12 year old Liquid in TPP, and the only other point of reference is Metal Gear Solid where he's 33. 21 years of "nothing left to explore" doesn't sound much like Metal Gear Solid to me.

there's nothing more to explore with Gray Fox Evidently Kojima disagrees considering he wanted Gray Fox to be the star of Metal Gear Solid: Rising. Father knows best and all that.

we do NOT NEED a Metal Gear 1 or 2 remake. Do we need them? No, not really, after all the games are already made. Did we need the HD Collection or Legacy Collection? Nope, same goes, the games were already out there and yet people still bought them. I can almost guarantee that a HD remake of Portable Ops would sell pretty well too. People would still almost undoubtedly play remakes of the Metal Gear games, and on the wiki and other forums it seems like plenty of people want them. Heck, people were apparently outraged when Konami shut the fan remake down, though that could have been in part due to some Hayter fanboying.

There is also no reason to have a game about Solidus. Really? You want a game where you TORTURE small children. Really nice. Let's start a slow clap everyone. Born between 1972 and 1976 and dies in 2009, and there's NOTHING left to explore? Same deal with Liquid, there's plenty to explore there. Solid Snake's relationship with Big Boss and his own destiny isn't necessarily the only important one, considering Liquid and Solidus in particular were attempting to interpret their father's will (similar to Zero and Big Boss regarding The Boss), Solid Snake just happens to be the one we focused on. While I think torturing of children would probably be rather innappropriate (and OP didn't advocate it at all, mind you) Solidus was an interesting character in his own right. He was the perfect clone of Big Boss, and came to resemble him most out of the Snake children, in both appearance and what he was trying to do. Solidus and Liquid facing their identities as clones of Big Boss are certainly interesting and something that should be addressed.

Also, no need to be so condescending and rude to OP like that, man. I'm seeing a lot of tearing down of ideas without offering up any of your own. Just chill.

Side note: As for me I'm not entirely sure what, if anything I'd like to see in a new game. The future of the series without Kojima at the helm is kind of scary, and one that shys away from Big Boss and Solid Snake equally so. I personally wouldn't much like a game where you play as The Boss, but that's just me. I think we'll get to learn more about her in The Phantom Pain so we'll just have to wait and see. I'd love an MG and MG2 remake though, I'm with you there, OP.
