A small mod team have been working on a recreation of the original Metal Gear it seems. Cautiously at first because they didn't wish to tread on the toes of original developers and owners Konami, lest they get into trouble with the company. However, Konami have heard of the project and have now given the team the go-ahead.
The mod team named Outer Haven are making their recreation in a version of Valve's Alien Source engine and although they've started their work, they haven't really made a lot of progress thus far as they'd been waiting for Konami's go-ahead. Konami have now let the team 'fill their boots' and make their recreation on the condition that it isn't used commercially (i.e. “you cannot use our copyrighted material to promote a product you are selling or making any profit from ”). As long as Outer Haven stick to that, they are free to proceed.
As they reach out to the wider Internet community to look for more team members to help bring their project to fruition, it'll be interesting to see just how faithful a recreation they will make.
