Ever wondered what the original Metal Gear game from MSX would look like in a modern-day engine? Well, time to get of glimpse of it, as IndieDB’s “Boker” is currently working on such a remake. Titled “Outer Heaven”, this fan remake of Metal Gear is powered by Epic’s Unreal Engine 4.
As its description reads:
“The gameplay will be like last MGS, but i want make it too with a original perspective like old MGS. Solid Snake, a rookie member of the FOXHOUND special operations unit is sent by his superior Big Boss to the South African fortress Outer Heaven, with the goal of finding the missing squad member Gray Fox and investigating a weapon known as Metal Gear.”
Whether Boker will be able to finish such an enormous project remains to be seen.
Enjoy for now Outer Heaven’s first Unreal Engine 4 screenshots, and stay tuned for more!

just a boring warehouse
These fan made things never do get finished. They either get shutdown because of copyright issues or the creator gives up
I think a clever trick might be to use different names, and say I took an inspiration from the original mgs. After its out, the modders can just pick it up and change the names around.

I think the original Metal Gear already had a remake in making which Konami was OK with, the project was discontinued for other reasons.
Nope. Konami gave the greenlight, asked for a presentation, and THEN gave them the C&D. MGS’s voice actors ACTUALLY agreed to voice it, and there’s a trailer with yours trully, david hayter.

Also, looks way better. This new “remake” looks quite sh**ty, and the art is all over the place.
Nice job on the textures. Looks great!
Konami will shut down this project real quick.
The same Konami who is officially no longer working on any kind of AAA Game what-so-ever, including any kind of Metal Gear Game?
This isn’t exactly Nintendo & Pokemon, not any more. I really don’t see them giving enough of a sh*t any longer to care about this in the least.
Where they see money, they might eventually throw a D&D and make a remake on the Fox engine, though I see this atleast 3-4 years down the road, by the time the mod is “mature” enough to be playable for the first 1-2 levels.
This is Konami we’re talking about, & they’re not even doing AAA Development any more, & even if they were, if they ever did Port the rest of the MG Franchise to PC, their chances of ever doing something more than just Porting over the already-existing “Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection” from 2013 are next-to-zero.
A project like this requires more than just a bunch of Coders programming a Port, they’d have to remake an entire Game from scratch, create Voice Over Dialogue which doesn’t even exist, etc. A fan remake can get away with cutting some corners, an Official Remake can’t.
Konami will venomously protect their IPs regardless of their intent to use them. Why on earth wouldn’t they?
Again, we’re talking about an IP that as far as they’re concerned is “over” on anything that’s not a Slot Machine, or an Arcade (or whatever the hell they’re getting into now).
Again, we’re not talking about Nintendo & Pokemon here.
Why would they care, considering the Game itself isn’t even available on PC in the first place? Seriously, we’re talking about this – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear_(video_game)
This is Konami we’re talking about. They forced Kojima to take down a fan made drawing that was Metal Gear related from his Twitter. FAN MADE! Yes Konami has really become that petty.
It wouldn’t be the first Metal Gear remake they’ve taken down. There was a project shut down last year that even had David Hayter volunteering; Konami said they couldn’t decide whether it was okay or not so they defaulted to shutting it down.
It’s also only a rumour they’ve ceased triple A development considering we’ve yet to see concrete proof & Konami have denied the claims thus far; even if it’s true, they fully intend on developing mobile games which a Metal Gear remake would be perfect for.
Even if the IP was dead, I could still see Konami shutting it down. It’s Konami. They’ve been anything but logical as of late.
so many memories…
C&D notice from Konami in 3……2…1……!
What’s the point? Console devs are short sighted. They will shut down the project… That said, I’m surprised that no one has made Unreal 1 in Unreal Engine 4 yet.
I really don’t see the point of this. Konami shut down a far more promising Metal Gear fan remake last year which had David Hayter voicing Solid Snake.
After previously giving their support, Konami couldn’t decide on whether or not it was actually okay, so they defaulted to a shutdown. The last year of chaos has only re-enforced that.
