What's up everybody? Welcome to IGN Game Scoop. I'm your host, Damon Hatfield. Joining me this week is Justin Davis, Sam Clayborn,

Zach Ryan, and we've got a great show for you this week. We're going to talk about Far Cry 5. We're going to talk about the Mega Man X legacy collections, but first,

Big Tony, right in this week. Starting the episode, I'm going to return. Yeah, I mean, big Tony's style. When he writes in, he gets top billing.

So for new listeners, Big Tony style just writes in a lot. Like you can at I don't know what the address is. It's hard to remember games. Goop at IGN.com. But it's also you're on the show every week and you don't remember games. Also, it's also what mega cops.

Oh, mega cops that I really get that one. Yeah, that's great. And goose camp. Goose camp. We have all three in that. Camp goose. I don't think anybody ever yet actually we're in camp goose right now.

Anyway, Big Tony style says with Metal Gear Survive. Remember that one. Yeah, no, I know. With Metal Gear Survive not doing well. And already seeing heavy discounts. I'm wondering if Konami will continue making games. What developers would you like to see take over some of their top IP if Konami were ever going to sell them?

The state of affairs for Konami is truly sad because once upon a time, they're just they're a top tier video game developer. But it's been a long time. That's the one silver lining, right?

At some point, even if it's a decade from now, presumably, there'll be somebody else making, you know, making games in those franchises. Yeah, dark sideers or whatever. So the question is who will get Frogger? Well, yeah, that's one of them for sure.

Let's start with Metal Gear. Okay, someone else are going to make a Metal Gear game. Who should it be? I feel like platinum did a bang up job, like creating a game in the Metal Gear universe, but that's not is that's not necessarily a Metal Gear game.

Not a stealth rising revenge. Exactly. Yeah. Metal Gear is such a singular thing. Yeah, there's not like much like it. I mean, they give it to the Fortnite development team and just make an awesome battle royale.

Honestly, I set it from I set it from the outset with Metal Gear survived that if they dropped in a 100, you know, like one or 100 versus 100 battle royale mode. Yeah, with the Metal Gear Solid 5 control scheme on console. I would play that. It'd be a hit. Yeah, I'd be I'd be into that. I think we just saved Konami Metal Gear Royale. I think rock steady would be a good choice for Metal Gear game. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Chase for choice for any game. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, we had a second here. Kojima productions should buy Metal Gear. Oh, yeah, that's actually a really good one.

Could you use me? Some Kojima spent 20 years trying to get away from Metal Gear. Like, I don't know.

Every time he made a Metal Gear game, he was like, and this is my last Metal Gear game. Yeah, but that doesn't mean anything. But they just got better.

I mean something. That's true. I was thinking about Splinter Cell as being another stealth game. I wonder if Ubisoft could make a good Metal Gear game.

Maybe. Yeah, they seem to make some decent games these days. Yeah, I don't think so. No, you don't think so. Yeah, like I love

Splinter Cell games actually and and Ubisoft games, but they're not like Metal Gear games are very

auto or driven like it's a singular artistic vision of like one man is crazy cohort. Yeah, right. Like I can't imagine that

fitting into the Ubisoft mold of making games. Yeah, that's fair.

What about Castlevania? Oh, I got a good one for this. What? That club? Yeah, club. Yeah, I'd like to see Yacht Club. The guys behind

Chauvin Night. I'd love to see them make a 2D Castlevania game in the vein of Symphony of the Night or Aria of Sara. Yeah. Yeah, I could. Yeah, what about just an Nintendo?
