Multiplat Metal Gear Solid Volume 1: Master Collection (October 24th, 2023)

Here's the quote I read:

Metal Gear Solid 4 Reportedly Ran Great On Xbox 360 But Konami Decided Against It

If that’s the case, then perhaps it could be remastered onto modern consoles. Hopefully it can be. I played it only a few weeks ago and it really is a great game.

It's good to know it's coming to the Nintendo Switch as well

What a shame MGS is not remastered.

What a shame MGS is not remastered.

Would have liked widescreen and modern resolution support at the very least.

MGS4 being included in Volume 2 rumours are getting stronger by the day too. Really keen.

I own so many copies of these games across multiple platforms, apart from the GTA trilogy they're the only games where I've done that. Keen to buy them again so they're all on the same platform. Bit of a pain to drag the PS2 out just to play MGS. So keen to play MGS4 for the first time whenever Volume 2 drops

greatest trilogy in gaming history

Now that is exciting news. I was thinking that the first tweet isn’t really confirmation of anything but that second tweet.

Konami remembered it had game IPs and put down the pachinko machines, incredible!

Will be buying it and probably multi platform buying it as well (granted one main platform on release, the rest when reduced in sales).

I remember playing the original Metal Geae on NES and not having a clue (in my defence I was 10 at the time).

I didn't really get into the MGS part until the early 2000s. And it was largely through the pc ports of 1 & 2 (had no clue what I was doing again lol). Something told me to get MGS 3 on release, I did and the game finally clicked. Not the first MGS I had ever played, but the first official one I finished and in those days it was harder without the youtube video walkthroughs of today lol.

MGS 4 was why I wanted and got a ps3. Hopefully the rumours are true and it gets released in volume 2.

I had MGS 2 and 3 on the 360 as well, fun times.

Considering getting this on NS and Vol 2 on Series X, as I think the difference in hardware will be more noticeable on updated MGS3 & 4 than with the earlier games.

I really don't understand why they post gameplay videos.

Disappointing to read about first impressions of The Switch release.

Hands On: Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 Could Be So Much More, But Isn't

Not for honour

Just going to stick with Quake 2 which apparently has been sensationally ported to the Switch

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Any idea how they'll handle the Psycho Mantis controller port switch trick in this day and age?

Maybe they will just go with the PS3 “workaround” where you shoot the statues around Mantis and not even bother trying to implement the controller port trick.

 

[Mantastic]

I didn't know about the trick when I had the game as a kid and beat the fight without it. It took bloody ages.

Spoiler

It’s a trick you can do even now on the PS3 ports and I assume the other systems, as it’s built into the game. Although it would be disappointing if they don’t do the controller port trick on PS5.

I don’t understand why they have included MGS 3 in this if they are completely redoing it anyway.

A lot of people will be on the fence about buying the MGS 3 remake and don’t have old systems (PS3, Xbox 360 etc) to play MGS 3.

This looks really disappointing.

This looks really disappointing.

It's only disappointing if you expected something other than the games released on current consoles.

I'm not sure why anyone would be disappointed?

Uneven performance in MGS1, graphical muddyness that wasn't present in the originals, no additional resolution upscaling.

It's not even a good emulation and appears to be a step back from what was already out there.

Haven't had any performance issues so far myself and runs fine from what I've played.

I reinstalled the MGS HD collection (360 version) on the Xbox last weekend. for mine (probably a result of playing on a 4K tv ?) the visuals looked very washed out. I'm not expecting stellar visuals from an older title BUT it kind of hits you what old games can look like on newer tv screens.

Performance is okay for 2 and 3, shit for 1. Can literally tank to 20fps. If you run the PAL version it caps at 25 FPS.

The image quality for 2 and 3 is also somehow worse than the emulations they are based on. It is as low effort as it gets.
