Rumour: ‘Metal Gear Solid’ to Be Remade (Again); Headed to PC and PS5
With that Metal Gear Solid movie still in development, and with Konami being, well, Konami, take this rumour (and it’s a big one) with a truckload of salt.
According to YouTube channel RedGamingTech, which admittedly specializes in hardware news but has been known to provide some accurate leaks in the past, they have received word from their sources that Konami is in the process of remaking Metal Gear Solid for the PlayStation 5 and the PC. Not only that, but Metal Gear Solid 2, 3, and 4 are also getting touch-ups in the form of remasters. It’s not clear as to whether they’re coming to PS5 as well, or whether Konami is just giving them PC releases.
To add even more intrigue, as reported by Gematsu, the Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee has rated the original Metal Gear, Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance for PC.
Again, this is all speculation, with nothing coming from Konami or Sony regarding this. Furthermore, some of this might also be a reaction to the news of Microsoft scoring the purchase of Bethesda earlier this week, and with people online clamouring for Sony to do something as audacious in response.
We’ll have to see what transpires, but as we’ve seen, the strange do happen once in a while.

Upcoming “Willy Wonka Meets BioShock” FPS ‘Twisted Tower’ Launches on August 18 [Trailer]
After dropping a demo last year for their upcoming “BioShock Meets Disneyland” horror title Twisted Tower, developer Atmos Games has announced an August 18th release date for the game, complete with a brand new trailer. While the demo is no longer available, you can, however sign up for the Playtest from the official Steam page.
Blast your way through an abandoned 1950s theme park, the eponymous Twisted Tower, crawling with fairy-tale mascots, twisted puzzles, and deadly traps. Uncover the dark secrets of your past as you race to the top to win the prize and the love of your life. It’s been decades since there’s been a single guest, but the park’s silly mascots will certainly be ready to accommodate you with expert fashion. They’ve been cooped up for years, so they may be looking for a hug.
Choose from dozens of unique paths up the cozy halls of the park castle as you explore its five areas. Sporting “punchy, bloody gunplay”, you can upgrade a slew of deadly weapons ranging from a whack-a-mole mallet to a skull-poppin’ ray gun, and gain new abilities as you climb your way up the tower to win a heaping pile of money and the hand of your childhood sweetheart, Charlotte.
