that might not actually be a bad thing. although theyd never do that. but on a different note mgs4 would be perfect if theyd remaster it with the fox engine. and since its just the basics it wouldnt be hard to do since they dont have to bring back the voice actors

To be honest, considering how Peace Walker and MGSV basically butchered EVA's history lesson to Snake, especially the bit about how Zero was apparently caught off-guard about Outer Heaven, I really am apathetic about whether they'll retcon half the plot of MGS4. They already retconned a lot of it with Peace Walker's fifth chapter anyways, and they're certainly going to retcon it further after Ground Zeroes and most likely The Phantom Pain after that. Call me cynical, but after Kojima's "creative liberties" starting with Metal Gear Solid, I really don't see any reason to hope for any aspect of the overarching plot to be retained.
