Reason I think that is because a lot of features in ps3 cpu were not standard at the time plus this article says it would be hard to port this game to modern platforms: https://news.instant-gaming.com/en/articles/16364-konami-believes-that-remastering-metal-gear-solid-4-would-prove-very-difficult

You’re talking out of your ass, you can’t say “Konami confirms” about something you think is true because they said something else.

I said I think because I do not know how much assembly the game uses all I know is it is a big amount because with linux part of it is written in assembly so it can use the nonstandard parts of the cpu and the cpu features of the ps3 were not standard at the time.

Let's wait for the Ai driven rewrite of those parts into C, and then covert that code to whatever they target.

From PPC assembly? WTF data would you even train that AI on

Agreed but what about the parts that are not standard in cpus today
