(+) Yeah! (+)

-Changed the cutscenes to make them over the top. Like every subsequent MGS game had
-Changed the voice acting to match the other games
-Better graphics and game play

It just a worse version

I preferred it, but in none of the other games was Snake able to pull off the stunts that he did in TTS

Wanted to respond, then saw your arguments and decided it would be pointless.

Fun Fact: One of the reasons I created this account was so I could complain about this game.

It's a worse version. They took all the heart and soul out of the original PS1 game.

one criticism that I've never got was how the first-person mode made things easier.

you were never required to use it, as far as I remember.

Ive played both and like TTS more as its more like the other games

Everything made it easier.

the only thing that made the game easier that you had no control over was how big your life bar was from the get go, IIRC.

I wasn't really a fan of any of those things tbh.

Though the over-the-top cutscenes were pretty limited. It only happened a few times. It's also worth noting that the future games that had this going on generally realized the difference between cyborgs doing flips and humans doing flips. I did really love the changes the made to the Fox vs Rex scene, but they butchered Wolf's death pretty terribly so it is what it is.

The improved gameplay was only done halfway. It left you able to skip entire areas by jumping railings and able to dodge the majority of Mantis' attacks by just lying down and shooting him. Was a good idea but they should have smoothed it over better.

The original had better VA IMO. People are just mad because they gave one character an accent that shouldn't have had one and it hurt the feelings of some unnamed Asian person who presumably noticed. Giving Fox a vocoder voice and fixing his pronunciation of "respite" was not a bad move, though.

So basically, it's a matter of taste. I'm more a fan of the way the OG did it but TTS isn't a bad reimagining.

Compare this game to REmake, and tell me which one is the better remake, and tell me why you think it's a better remake.

There's your real answer.

at post 10 - both Naomi and Mei Ling were supposed to have "American" accents.

personally, I feel that some of the voice work was better in the original (Campbell, Otacon) and some was superior in TTS (Snake, Mei Ling, Naomi, Grey Fox)

the quality of one remake doesn't say anything about the quality of another.

TTS added nothing new to a veteran player of the original game on PS1. REmake felt like a new game - while this one felt like they just slapped on the engine of MGS2, and said "finished!"

The amount of effort that went into REmake is noticeable.
---

-The whole game was easier even without using first person. You start with max health and enemies have to call in backup instead of it just automatically going into alert.

-The cutscenes are beyond dumb, even when compared to latter MGS's

-They took away the accents from the women >_> I liked them better with the accents lol
---

idk, I always felt the calling in for endorsements thing was better, since it was in line with the rest of the series, and because it was more realistic.

and I think that I remember reading something about how TTS' director initially wanted to make the cutscenes similar to the original's, but Kojima wanted something different

Which makes sense, considering that most cutscenes were actually pretty close to the original, just with a few changes sprinkled around willy-nilly.
