Just Add Water want to do the Metal Gear Solid remake

We reported a few days ago about Hideo Kojima seeking out for a studio to undertake the development of a new Metal Gear Solid remake. A studio from the United Kingdom has expressed interest in wanting to carry out this project with the legendary game designer.

Just Add Water, a studio from here in the UK, just so happened to spot news on website VG247. This news post presented a twitter post from Kojima asking for a creator or studio to remake his PS1 classic. They wasted no time in making their response to Mr Kojima. This studio has some remakes under their belt already with the remake of Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath as well as currently working on Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty, a remake of Oddworld: Abe’s Odyssey. The following is a statement on the Just Add Water website:

Dear Mr Kojima,

We read with great excitement on VG247 that you were looking for a studio to work with to develop a Metal Gear Solid remake using the Fox Engine, that your team has been hard at work creating.

We at Just Add Water feel ideally positioned to do the remake justice for several reasons:

1. We have experience working with legendary IP (Oddworld Inhabitants) and treating the subject matter with the respect it deserves.

2. Many members of our team are huge Metal Gear fans, with very good knowledge of the source material.

3. We really, really want to do it.

For evidence of our abilities, please check out not only the HD treatment of Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath, released on PlayStation3, VITA and PC, but the current re-creation of Abe’s Oddysee, titled Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty.

We eagerly await your response.

Love and cuddles,
The JAW Team.

It’s pretty certain that this remake is going to happen, it just seems to be a matter of finding the right studio for Hideo Kojima. Could Just Add Water be the studio to recreate the classic tale? We will have to wait and see! Let us know if you think Just Add Water is the right team for the job, or do you have another studio in mind?
