    Seriously this would be an instant hit, a game like this would be perfect especially with the release of the iP4 and it's enchanced hardware, do you think we could ever see it?

    Ps msg1 not metal gear solid touch :)

    Please for the love of god no... with all the controls and fuctions Snake has to use to get around, it would be impossible on an all touch screen basis. It's hard enough to play on a PSP (MGS1). lol

    But it would be cool to see Kojima and co. make one specifically for the iPhone (not MGSTouch) I would just foresee a lot of sacrifice in what makes the games great for maneuverability and functionality.

    I think an elaborate gesture system could pull off the controls. It might be pretty fun.

    Haha they could go overboard with it :)
    I'd say simple dpad and 4 way action buttons and gestures such 2 finger swipe for weapon change etc :)

    No. Any MGS game would look like a pile of crap on the iPhone.

    Doing nothing of importance.
    Somewhere
    Konami and Kojima are fully capable of porting MGS1 well, if not creating a fantastic original. Unfortunately, knowing their App Store track record, it's not going to happen, which is a real shame.

    Metal Gear Solid already is on the iPhone. It's a point and click game.

    If Square Enix made a AAA RPG, why couldn't Konami make a AAA MGS?
    I know they're (Konami) busy with Rising, but come on.
