Jordan Vogt-Roberts is the director currently working on the upcoming Metal Gear Solid film, and he has some valid opinions on a few of the series’ games, as far as how they’ve been treated since their release. In particular, he tweeted about how he feels two particular games that were released a while back ago on PlayStation Portable are actually quite underrated.
Roberts has pointed out that both PlayStation Portable entries in the Metal Gear Solid series, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, are “two of the most brave and affecting entries in the MGS series” and he doesn’t think they get the attention they deserve because they were on the PSP. He tweeted about the news a few days ago, but the discourse online is still going.
Just putting it out there that PORTABLE OPS and PEACE WALKER are two of the most brave and affecting entries in the MGS series and I don’t think they get the attention they deserve because they were on the PSP.

To be fair I think METAL GEAR & METAL GEAR: SOLID SNAKE (MSX versions) would be in line for a remake first. Those are such giant elements of the story that aren’t visualized like the others.

I’m more talking about the tightness of the story, not fully the mechanics of gameplay.
