Remakes of the classic games will not make the series come full circle, rather it will just create an endless cycle of remakes as the older games inevitably become aged and outdated. Time to move on. I don't necessarily agree there, considering Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 are 2D games and the rest are 3D. And I think that's the only reason anyone wants to see them remade to be honest. The only "remake" you could want from Metal Gear Solid is perhaps a graphical update, and then it'd be uniform with the rest of the MGS games.

So while I can see the merit in not wanting remakes of old games, the 'slippery slope' argument of an endless cycle doesn't really apply.
