Some fans may have been deeply disappointed when Hideo Kojima, creator of Metal Gear Solid, clarified that he was not yet officially working on any remake, as opposed to what has been reported that he will positively do a remake.

But now, there seems to be hope for fans to look forward to this. GameSpot reports that, although there was a misinterpretation on the part of the translation, Kojima is still interested in the idea of a remake.

"Well, if there's some creator or team in this world who has love and passion to remake 'MGS1,' I would love to ask for it," he said to GameSpot.

And as though a response, developer Just Add Water of Oddworld has already expressed their interest in remaking the original game. In fact, it's an open letter that lists their qualifications for the job.

Just Add Water lists down three qualifications; the first is that they have experience with IP and do so with respect rather than just plain work; and the second being that most of the team have been following Metal Gear for a while, with good knowledge of the material.

And the best reason for their qualification?

"We really, really want to do it."

Hopefully, Kojima find this letter to be what it is, a genuine attempt of fans to remake a game they love. Developments and decisions from the side of the creator are still to be announced.

Diablo 3 issues game ban for cheating

After a round of banning last December for hacks, Blizzard Entertainment has reportedly banned more Diablo 3 players, though the number of banned accounts and the time period of the ban were not specified.

Game Politics reports that the reason behind the ban was for the continued use of hacking mechanisms and software to cheat, which pretty much takes out the essence of gaming.

"Over the last year, we've issued frequent rounds of account bans for cheating in Diablo 3, and we've just issued another," said Blizzard Entertainment in an official statement. "We have and will continue to monitor Diablo 3 for exploitative behavior and take action as needed in order to help preserve the integrity of the game."

On the more technical side of things, those that cheat using other software do cause glitches and problems in the game.

Third-party programs can cause nasty technical problems, game-related bugs, and stability and performance issues with Battle.net, all of which can greatly impact your gaming experience as well as the gaming experience of others," said Blizzard in an official statement quoted by Game Politics.

An Assassin's Creed game that's beyond your gadgets

Before the November release of the latest open-world adventure game Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag hits consoles and the PC, there's another Assassin's Creed game that's already circulating around the web.

But it's not one that you can play with a console or a PC, because it's a traditional game: a board game.

According to Eurogamer, the Assassin's Creed: The Board will be available come winter, though the game has not yet been announced by Ubisoft yet.

In the game, you'll be playing as contracted assassins who have to get through the guards to get to your target. The setting is reported to be in Constantinople.
