SJ, what are you talking about regarding the edit button? No one here said anything about it... By the way, it's over in the lower right of your post...
Oh yes, I read that IGN review just to check things out. Those people have no idea what they are talking about. It's like they are pretending they actually played the game but were actually asking people who have from the Playstation crew what they remembered, and the PS guys lied to them or just forgot...
First thing's first, THE ORIGINAL VERSION ALSO HAD FIRST PERSON AIMING MODE! In fact, just to make sure I was right, I started up the game. I'm aiming and shooting right now in fact. One of the weapons in fact can ONLY be used in this mode. Unless what they actually mean is that you can now run around while in first person (which you can't even do in MGS2), they just plum forgot about an ability in there. You know, the battles are actually pretty easy once you've figured some tricks out in MGS. Revolver may have only looked easy because they had fought him a lot and memorized his patterns. I didn't watch that video myself though.
I know there was something else they got wrong about the original, but I forget what. Here's the thing, how intact is the Metal Gear theme music? I know it's been heavily remixed, but can it still be recognized, or is it SO remixed that it's like the Hyrule field theme of Ocarina of time, where if you pay attention you hear little strains and bits of tunes that are from the standard theme but it's not recognizable very quickly.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
