Well, that was to be expected. A fan-made remake of Metal Gear was being developed and Konami has decided to send the team a C&D letter. In short, this project has been cancelled and won’t be released. What’s really interesting is that a lot of industry professionals were involved with this project.
As the team noted, David Hayter was helping with the script and the following industry professionals participated:
-Adhem Belkhadra from Ubisoft (Gears of War, Just Dance, the Cursed Crusade, etc.) working on the level mapping.
-Kaue Lemos from Insane Games (Earth Under Seige, Bubble Up, etc.) working on the sound effects.
-Orion Acaba (Fire Emblem, Infamous series, etc.) working on the voice acting.
-Paul Eiding (Roy Campbell) was also on board in a cameo.
The team has also shared a video from this remake for Metal Gear that can be viewed below.
Enjoy!

It seems like Kojima productions is going to do it themselves.
Well, the guy who was handling audition submissions through email was kinda messing around as well.
I sent him a few theme samples, like the one here:

There was not much communication at all. One thing you were told this, then the next no response. Then finally I was told that he liked my track… but he totally mislabeled it and it wasn’t even mines… :'( That was sad… 😛
Kinda sad, but not surprised honestly.
Still though, one of the composer, Alex? Really freaking talented, was hoping he’d get to leave his mark. 🙁
Not bad, I like it.
thanks man!
Gosh, eaze, your soundcloud profile is awesome! Favourited! 😀
Thanks man, not on a professional level, but I try my best 😛
C&D letters ? They didnt do Sega anything good when they tried to stop Streets of rage V5 on PC (All 3 games in 1 game!) What difference will a C&D letter from Konami do now if they act like greedy jews?
Wait didnt they get a thumbs up from Konami before? WTF
Don’t understand the logic, they give a thumbs up than later drop it, either it was gaining too much attention and Konami would rather do it themselves to turn abit of a profit (which I think they should’ve just let the team finish it) or they were having second thoughts about whether it would hurt the franchise.
