I don't understand, why release a multiplat Metal Gear compilation in 2023 when nobody cares about the franchise anymore? Surely the best time to do this would've been in 2013-15 when people were actually excited for what MGSV would entail. At the time, all there was was the PS3-only Legacy Collection.
>nobody cares about the franchise anymore
He’s right, we are way past the peak
As dead as spintercell, you are out of touch if you cant see it
>as dead as splintercell
lmao irrelevant dead ubishit games have nothing in comparison to games like mgs
still culturally relevant enough to even get ports
>I don't understand
for money $$$$
Because MGS is still a pillar franchise in the history of gaming, and israelitenami's boomer execs have either finally DIED or realized what a massive frick up they did back in 2015, and are trying to back pedal.
PS3 collection is all you need
thats whats being ported here
Yep, so no Evo Skakeboarding on the Big Shell, no Snake vs Monkey, no Guy Savage and no pressure sensitive controls.
They're literally just the Bluepoint remasters for the 360 upscaled.
>nobody cares about the franchise anymore?
Ogey!
RRAT
I'd be fine with it if it came free with the Snake Eater remake
To get people up to speed for the soulless MGS3 texture pack developed by a Singaporean support studio who've never made a game by themselves.
Also pachinko laws have changed in Japan and Konami are scrambling to get into console games.

Can't wait for the Souls clone Castlevania reboot that takes its writing queues from the Netflix series :^)
If these gays don't rerelease Metal Gear Rising I'm gonna go shit on Konami's desk
They need to making the original Metal Gear Solid Rising
I love MGS2 so I'd love that, sadly I think the franchise is dead and we're lucky to get the remake and maybe more remakes. State of the industry meets state of the franchise.
Will laugh if volume 2 is only Peace Walker HD and MGSV complete and thats the end of the collections
but then they would miss practically half the mgs games and it would be a literal joke collection
Theyre already phoning it in with slapping MGS1 into an PS1 emulator and shipping it. I highly doubt they'll care enough to port MGS4 to pc for a second time. Wouldn't put it past them to slap POOP/POOP+ and Ac!d 1/2 on some psp emulator and ship it but then again they recorded the digital novels instead so they might just outright skip em. Maybe they might swing a deal with nintendo to let us gracious experience the dumpster fire thats twin snakes, in an emulator of course.
Some dataminer on Reddit found evidence that vol. 2 will also contain Portable Ops and Ac!d 1 and 2. But not MGS4.
Even putting aside THE POWER OF THE CELL, didn't MGS4 have a heap of product placement like Otacon's Mac and Snake's iPod? Would be expensive to relicense all that shit I would think.
How expensive would it be to make new generic assets?
Just another example of how poorly they're handling this release
It was already leaked that Vol 2 has 4, PW, GZ and TPP. No PO (unfortunately, I like that game).
oh frick no.
oh FRICK no.
the current gen doesn’t deserve to be cucked out of experiencing the end of solid snake’s story for homosexual ass acid.
Hey frick you, Ac!d 2 is kino
I fully expect 4 to be a separate release if it happens at all
I would have bought it if they hadn't done such a shit job with the ports
what's up with the steam listing for this thing? Each game is listed independently at $60, as well as the master collection package, making a total of like 5 or 6 listings. They're not selling them independently, but they show up independently with their own unique pages. but to buy it, it just redirects you to the collection page. Why clutter the store with 6 different things that all redirect you to the actual thing you're buying, which they all have in common and is just the 1 thing that is buyable? What the frick is this.
Each page had a unique page but after like 3 weeks they finally fixed it. I think what they meant to do was something like Halo MCC where different games are labeled as DLC so you can pick and choose in your library settings which ones you want installed but they couldn't figure out how to do it.
is this shit going to be on pc or not?
they're already on steam
the only real b***h and moan left is if mgs4 gets on pc
which if it does not
oh boy we have no options left but rpcs3
Yes, but it's a PS1 emulator running MGS1 and then just upscaled 360 ports of 2 and 3 that supposedly run worse than they did in 2011.
i think they’re only running worse on the switch, which disappoints me greatly because i wanted to play it in bed.
Someone was saying that the Switch version for some reason uses the Vita port as its base rather than the 360 version, which is downright weird.
It is, but the resolution is supposedly capped at 1080p, which is bullshit
i think theres enough love for these games that modders will frick with it
what's the point? they're barely upgraded PS2 games anyways
upping the res to 4k won't do much
you can already do it with rpcs3 and it does not look any better than 1080p really
it's just that they're a b***h to run in general and lack effects
They shouldn't need to, a proper release would have support for multiple resolutions out of the box
Maybe it has something to do with them both having ARM CPUs, still a shitty decision regardless
this is konami, we're lucky its not being released as a gacha remake with a built in pay to win
No
wait, it's not even Twin Snakes? christ konami needs to fricking go under already.
Twin Snakes will supposedly be included in future volumes.
But otherwise you can blame Kojima in why it didn't get the remaster treatment years back.

Why the FRICK would you want to play twin snakes? Getting past the epic cut scenes, lots of the dialog was censored or removed, all the accents are gone, the music fricking blows, and the MGS2 mechanics make it way to easy. Its a worse experience in everything except visuals.
yeah same with the people who want to play MGS3 in third person
are they legitimately insane? it plays like dogshit without being top down
The dialogue is more accurate to the original game and everything else is purely up to opinions.
Also Twin Snakes is one of the MGS titles that's been constantly begged to have some sort of rerelease for years now.
It's been eight years (!) since TPP came out, is it old enough now to have internet contrarians defending all the cut content as an "intellectual" statement from Kojima about PHANTOM PAAAAAAAAAIN?
they were doing that at launch ffs
