Nah, Twin Snakes sucks. Putting a pin in the over the top cut scenes a moment (we’ll get to that):
Everything about the game is watered down and lesser. The voice recording might be a higher fidelity but the acting is far more stilted and less on point. The 3D models might be higher in poly but they lack the crispness and polish of the PS1 art style and feel murky and flat. The Gameplay is literally broken. None of the maps or boss fights were built or designed with the MGS2 toolkit and it shows. Ocelot alone is an embarrassment.
As for the cutscenes:
…ok they’re kind of cool on their own in isolation divorced from everything else. I think as a whole they are incongruous with the game itself and don’t fit the narrative or story but if you just watch like a you tube super-comp of them they’re a fun time. I don’t know if Monty Oum of RWBY ever talked about them but I definitely can imagine him as a young lad watching them and being like “That…that’s what I want to be when I grow up!!!”
