@Th3solution it’s a great question… and one I feel a bit hypocritical about answering if I’m honest. I myself played V first… and it was only as a result of my experience with that, that I played the whole series within the following 12 months. When advising someone other than myself… and without my trophy obsession 😅, I’d go release order. The reason that I didn’t personally was… I was a different gamer back then. I was just starting to dip my toe out of my comfort zone and simply chose V as it was open world and modern.
I feel like my approach to gaming has drastically changed since then and now treat it with the respect I think it deserves (as the ultimate progression of art-form/entertainment-type to this point in human culture… big statement but I stand by it). And as a result, in much the same scenario as Vader and Luke, the journey into the heart of darkness for Big Boss is richer if you’ve seen him through Solid Snake’s eyes first. Just my opinion but… I’d go MGS & MGS2 first but I’m about as far from gen-pop as it gets… for better or worse.
Remasters were fine in the PS3 - PS4 transition due to the hardware incompatibility but some titles are STILL stuck on the PS3.
Motorstorm (original, Pacific Rift, Apocalypse), Little Big Planet 1 & 2, ModNation Racers to name a few.
Obviously LBP and ModNation really require online servers to be of any creative use and Sony are too tight to even maintain the PS4 LBP3 server so these have no chance.
Motorstorm was at least split screen local multi-player but with Evolution gone and now part of CodeMasters/EA, there's little chance of anything new coming in that franchise.
I am very thankful that I still own a fully working PS3 Slim with 3 original DS3 controllers.
@Bob_Salat Thanks, bud.
I really would have liked a remake MGS1 first, not only for the reasons you and Colonol mentioned, and specifically for the callbacks to it in MGS4 and MGS5, but also because it’s the most dated and least accessible at this point. But Konami is going to do what Konami does, ie screw up a good thing. 😅 (Although, I know they are turning things back around)
I remember MGS3 playing pretty well and modern, by comparison. And perhaps that’s one of the reasons it’s getting a remake treatment first. There’s inherently less to overhaul in the gameplay and visuals department, compared to 1 & 2. But still, 3 generations of consoles later, it will be a tall order to remake.

@PorkChopExpress Vagrant Story would be good. I remember playing that, was it on PS1? I never did finish as i most likely did not fully understand the game, as it was rare for me to play that type of game back then.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Destruction Derby!!! The original was awesome and with online play you wouldn't even need an I-Link cable to play with a friend. If you enjoyed this game, please talk it up and maybe a remake will come true.
Road Rash is another one that could benefit from a PS5 remake.
