Never played the original personally, just watched folks play it. It’s a very faithful remake/remaster, and in some ways feels like a different game with the addition of the third person follow-cam and some of the gameplay improvements (the quick camo menu is great). It’s still just as hard and the feeling of crawling through the jungle undetected is just as rewarding.
I really enjoyed it, forgot how short it really was, but the huge number of different tools and ways to play adds great replayability.

Was the original for the PS2? I feel like an idiot kind of now because I thought it was a PS3 game like the 4th one and I’ve never been able to emulate those right

Yeah, there were two releases on the PS2 actually. The original had the classic static MGS cam and the updated one (I want to say “Snake Eater”) had the free cam controls that we know and love.
