20 Cult-Classics Trapped On Old Consoles

19. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

I am just as in shock as you are reading this list, but it’s true. Metal Gear Solid 4 is unfortunately still trapped on the PlayStation 3. As one of the flagship games from that console, it’s baffling how it was never ported or remastered, but sadly, this is the game that has been left behind. 

The other games in the Metal Gear Solid series have received no end of love and attention as of late, with the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Volume 1 (which includes Metal Gear Solid 1, 2 and 3) and the recently released Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater hitting the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series consoles, the demand is still there for more Metal Gear. 

Hideo Kojima being out of the picture can be a frightening thought for Metal Gear fans, as we’ve all seen what Konami has made without Kojima’s involvement (I shudder at the thought of another Metal Gear Survive). It’s time to spend some time with Solid Snake’s swan song, Metal Gear Solid 4.

Hey, I’m Matt. I work full-time at WhatCulture's neighbours, MyVoucherCodes. I first joined MyVoucherCodes as a Deals Expert, scouring the internet, leaving no stone unturned in finding the best discount codes, sales and offers for our customers. Moving into my first home during the worst possible time (during lockdown), I understand the necessity of saving money when the purse strings are tight. Outside of saving money, I’m into video games, movies, books and music. I host and edit a video game podcast called The Retry Hard Podcast, where my friend and I go through news, reviews and video games in general. I love movies and watching how they’re made, and I’ve worked as a set decorator for a few months on His Dark Materials season 3, which gave me a massive insight into how it all comes together. I also put out music as a solo artist named Matt Kiano, where I won the award for Best Male Artist of 2025 for Radio Wigwam and have been nomiated for Best Live Act at the 2026 Radio Wigwam Awards.
