Metal Gear Solid coming soon as a PS5 exclusive?

The report suggests another piece of exciting news. Metal Gear Solid 2, 3 and 4 will be getting HD remasters. This essentially means that the titles would be fit for both current and new-gen consoles. However, we don’t know if these would be exclusive for the PS5 or not.

The remake of the game would mean undertaking a huge expense for the studio, so it makes sense to simply remaster them.
