With Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater selling over a million copies in less than a month, it seems Konami is already interested in going back to the sneaky well. The developer is asking eager fans what they want next from the long-dormant series, and I think there's one obvious answer. In a survey being conducted by Konami ahead of its Metal Gear-themed Tokyo Game Show presentation next month, the developer is asking prospective viewers about their past experiences with the series, what they would like to know more about in the near future (with a passing mention of Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2), and most crucially, which Metal Gear game they want to see remade next.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's character in The Running Man faces a totalitarian regime by competing in a deadly television show where the disadvantaged are hunted down, ultimately overthrowing his captors with physical prowess and humor.

The Crash Bandicoot remake got almost everything right. Except the most important 30 milliseconds. Vicarious Visions completely botched how jumping works.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 masterfully recreates the gameplay pleasures of these games and will please any fan of the series.

While remakes allow for a fundamental reconceptualization and expansion of narrative, remasters limit themselves to graphical polish without changing the original game's core experience.
