Considering they fixed the input lag for Parappa 2, I'm surprised they didn't go out of their way to do the same here too.

No! This is actually bad news.
Ideally, Neo Geo games on PS4 would all get the Last Blade 2 treatment.
Meaning, individual games with scanline options, art galleries, etc. But most importantly, it seems that it's emulated specifically on the PS4, it doesn't seem like it's a port of a port, or an emulation of an emulation.

Not much into trophies, I'm afraid. But more power to those who are. Enjoy!
Not if people are vocal enough.

Much better than either the Wii or the PSP versions.
So the consensus is that the digital PSP version running on a Vita is the best one to get? Portability and trophies aside, I just want the best performing game.
Has the PSP version been on sale recently? It's from 2009 and it's still $19.99 on the store.

I just played some Metal Slug X on Wii Virtual Console. Shot a lag test with video. It seems like about five frames of lag, based on a quick informal test (aka when shooting 60fps video of my controller with the screen behind it if I hit a fire or jump button it takes about five frames to react...somewhere around 80 or 90ms). Will try to to a better test soon. Does somebody have a test on the PS4?
The game is really great on the VC at 240p. I like it.

I've gotten through 1, 4, 5, and 7 without using continues. I can get to the final bosses in the others, but said final bosses are all pretty intuitive so I usually trip up there.

That was a great port. Even came with a Rebel campaign.
I dream of the day Steam gets the Xbox port.

Is the JP PS2 standalone release of MS3 the same?

I thiiiiiiiink so, but don't buy it because I said that.
I still don't understand why SNK doesn't just bring and expand Neo Geo Station on PS4? It's not like PS Classics since it never had crossbuy so there's no loss of revenue incentive.
So weird to me that the only real comprehensive attempt at a retro line on PS4 is Arcade Archives after PSP/PS3/Vita did so much with Classics.

I don't remember having issues with input lag on Metal 1 -3 on the PS2 anthology.
Than again I bought a tv that was good for those issues.
Do component cables have anything to do with that?
Also I heard that all ps2 games are upscaled to look better for the PS4,
how will this work for metal slug? Has anyone played KOF 2000 that game is currently out on PS4 right?

Component cables have nothing to do with lag. PS2 games on PS4 are not upscaled. They are rendered at higher native resolution. The exception being 2D games, which Metal Slug qualifies as.
So I got the anthology and there is a bit of input lag but it seems to also depend on the game, haven't tested it thoroughly, but I just had a nice surprise when I left my ps3 fightstick connected to my PS4 and when I started up the anthology it recognised it!
Is this normal for ps2 classics on PS4? Either way it's pretty cool.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
That compilation was straight up garbage. The input lag was unacceptable. Like, even on an SDTV.

Input seems to only affected when using the stick and not dpad. The character selection is extremely obnoxious. Im on the ps4 too.

I've been wanting to know an answer to these question myself
I really liked the ps2 version and had no issues.
I'm hoping the ps2 ps4 port has perfect pixels and no auto blurryness filter.
even if the ps2 had input lag (which I didn't noticed it) is the same as the ps4?

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Doesnt seem like anyone else mentioned it so I'll ask.
Why buy the PS2 classic over the PS4 version?

I played the shit out of this on a trip. The Vita is great foe classic games in a lot of regards.

I just bought it, play MS3 right away, funny how it runs better than code mystic garbage "high quality" port. Beside the weird loading in char select and screen transition, the Anthology of MS3 has minimal slow down, even the PSP version running on Vita has less slow down than the code mystic garbage port, those guys can't even bother to add auto shot in the control option which is present on anthology. I don't understand why SNK keep using them, they should have hire M2. I remember the Xbox 1 version was god like, zero slow down, rumble support etc, that was the definitive version of MS3.
EDIT: anyone know if Metal Slug XX on PSP ever go on sale or what was the lowest price it has ever been? Need that one but current 20 dollar price point is a bit much.

Played 5 yesterday with my friend through share play. It was super fun. 23 continues used. 30 for him. I'm going to look up flawless runs. That last boss is impossible.
Code Mystics being the guys that ported MGS3 standalone, right? Is the input lag really noticeable in this Anthology port? Thanks.

I agree, but I think that's a tall order for a lot of these games.
Following the pricing of those releases for one game, the content of this collection would cost like 60-90 dollars compared to the 15-20 it'll probably launch for.
We'd probably only get X and 3 with that kind of treatment. The value just isn't there for most people.(Myself included tbh. I'm not paying 15, 10 or even 5 dollars for a port of Metal Slug 4,or 6 on their own lol)
Should've read this before buying, The game runs incredibly slow in the PAL version on PS4, to the point where I'm actually regreting having spent money on it in the first place, and that rarely happens to me.
So yeah, heads up for anyone interested in this, don't get the PAL version unless it gets patched to 60hz like Dark Cloud and GTA 3, amongst a few others.
Nope, it's pretty much the original version on the PS4 with trophies. If you decide to get it on PS4 be sure to buy it from the US PSN since the game remains unpatched to this day.
Thanks, I might just skip it then, and just get one of the releases of 3(360 or Switch) and then maybe XX. I've got 1, 4, and 5 on the PS2 already.

Out of cusiority, how bad did the input lag end up being on this version? I'm not exactly the target market for emulations of emulations, but I'm still interested in the differences between the various ports of Metal Slug out there.
It's picking up, they have had Resident Evil CVX, Star Ocean 3, and this in quick succession. Not to mention the Jak and Daxter series is coming up. I imagine they'll have some cutesy announcements for e3.

Local co-op?
Hey. I redownloaded the game just to see if it got fixed and the input lag seems very minor now.
Wayyyyyy better than when I first bought it. Very enjoyable and playable now... Input lag is not as noticeable.
Also, I'm playing on my PS4 Pro with boost mode on.
I also have a ks8000.
Anybody else wanna check this on their pro, boost mode enabled?
