Remaking MG1 and 2 would be practically new.

how? by adding more twists to the already extremely convoluted (not saying that means bad) story? What elso besides graphics?

How about an over-the-shoulder perspective, for one?

There's no reason why it can't have an in-depth CQC system as well.

Voice acting, cutscenes, I feel like you're not even trying to understand when you reduce the possibility of a remake to just story and graphics.

You should also keep in mind that most people haven't played MG1 and 2 because they're so dated. This isn't due to being unable to play, since they're available for free on emulators. People haven't played or beaten them because they weren't made to the standard of the good Metal Gear Solid games.

in that case that's a completely different game, and an insult to the original to call it the same. They just get to keep the same story and cash in on nostalgia, but it wouldn't be mgs.

I feel the same about the resident evil remakes. They're not bad, but they're not resident evil if you change literally everything in the game except the story.

If you're making a new, completely different game, I'd like a new story to go with it. Why is that so much to ask?
