10 Biggest WTF Video Game Moments Of 2016 (So Far)
2. Konami Remakes An MGS 3 Cutscene Using Fox Engine... For A Pachinko Machine
Maybe this isn't that big of a shock. Maybe after last year's events we should have been wise to the possibility that Konami would take all the things we loved and desecrate them by turning them into bastard gambling machines. They did it with Silent Hill in 2015, followed by an 'erotic Castlevania' machine later in the year, and this year, they got to Metal Gear Solid 3.
What makes things even worse is that Konami actually put some effort into this one. As well as re-rendering the bosses in the Fox Engine, it also remasters one of the most poignant scenes in the game, when Snake and The Boss have a face-to-face in a meadow of white flowers.
All this would actually be kind of awesome and wonderful, but then the camera zooms out to show the cut-scene taking place on some kind of vile green-framed monitors and we realise this is just another cruel trick by Konami.
Their only hope for some kind of redemption now is if they go on to remake the first three MGS games in the Fox Engine...
