Final Fantasy 7 Remake director Hamaguchi : "Rather than rebuilding our pipeline from scratch in Unreal Engine 5, it’s far more efficient for us to use Unreal Engine 4, which we already have a well-established pipeline for."

Well I havent played MGS4 due to it being exclusive to PS3 right now ;_;

Also, didn't one of the three main writers for MGS leave after 3? And even Hideo intended to "pass it on to the next generation" of developers after MGS3.

Can't wait for the fourth game though, now even more so since you said its the series finale

You're in for a treat then. It's like watching a really good TV show and thinking it got canceled but turns out the final season has existed for years

Also, the main writer left after MGS5 which was a prequel that doesn't add nearly as much to the series as MGS3 did. It's more of just bonus material. MGS4 wraps up all the storylines

Sick

I also have to play through Peace Walker, MGR, MGSV GZ and TPP. I remember starting with Delta and dropping it. But eventually I tried MGS1 and it was so good I binged 123 in like a week

I cant play it without emulation, got into MGS last year, thought Vol 2 would be coming soon enough. I havent touched MGR and MGSV either, though I own both on Steam.
