It's interesting to see Noriaki Okamura's yearning for a Kojima reunion, but let's be real—Kojima's got his hands full with Death Stranding sequels and a movie adaptation. Props to Konami for pushing forward with the Metal Gear Solid Δ remake; I hope it does justice to the classic without the iconic Kojima touch.

Seeing Konami's Metal Gear producer hopeful for a Kojima reunion is a bittersweet reminder of what could have been. While it's great to see the series getting some love with the Snake Eater remake, Kojima's new projects prove he's still a major creative force in the industry.

While Okamura's optimism for a Kojima reunion is heartwarming, it feels more like a nostalgic wish than a realistic expectation given Kojima's thriving independent career. The decision to keep the original voice lines for the Snake Eater remake is a nice touch, staying true to what fans loved about the original.
