Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake: Hope Lives (and Dies)
Just when we thought we finally had news about the long-rumored Metal Gear Solid 3 remake, our hopes were dashed once again. MGS voice actress and singer Donna Burke clarified that the Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater project she mentioned was not a remake of the stealth game, but still sounds very exciting.
Burke recently hinted that she was recording some kind of reimagining of the Snake Eater song, leading to speculation about a possible MGS3 remake. However, in a follow-up message, she wrote: "Yesterday I recorded Snake Eater. It's not for a remake. It has nothing to do with MGS3. It's for fun. And I should check my Twitter account more often."
A music project instead of a remake
Donna Burke is currently working with Tencent senior composer and supervisor Mason Lieberman on a special album for video game music lovers. Lieberman stated, "In the next few months, you'll hear more about the project from Donna Burke and me. It's not an MGS project, but rather a special album for video game music lovers. Many great guests will be announced. Stay tuned!"
Lieberman also clarified that this music project is in post-production and is not affiliated with Tencent. It will be similar to his Cowboy Bebop and My Hero Academia covers, combining live music performances with some of the people who helped bring the project to life.
The big picture: An album for video game music fans
Although this announcement was not a hint at a Metal Gear Solid 3 remake, it sounds like it will be part of a larger work with iconic video game music covers or something similar, which is quite impressive.
