Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 Announced For "The Latest Platforms"

Can we get a Switch release, Konami?

www.nintendolife.com

Been wondering about this. Was worried it would be exclusive as Xbox already had the HD remasters and was thinking MGS1 and VR Missions may just be a download of the emulated PS1 classics.



They’ve stated about minimal changes. Hoping we don’t lose “The Best is Yet To Come.” That would be tragic.

"Minimal changes" to me, sound like sensitivity reader changes for the sissies out there that would get triggered at some of those codec conversations.

It’s more the music I’m bothered about, remember the MGS theme was kinda plagiarized

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

Minimal changes mean there's pachinko mini-games included.

 

[YCoCg]

Wasn't there some issue about the NYC footage and Stock Lab footage from MGS2 and 3 that expired a few years back which caused them to pull MGS2 and 3 HD from stores? Maybe the changes are related to that.

 

[AREYOUOKAY?]

Minimal changes mean there's pachinko mini-games included.

Is that gonna Ocelots new method of torture?

Oh well it’s upsetting that this will most likely stay PlayStation exclusive. The last time you could play Metal Gear Solid 1 officially with a portable console was the Vita and it wasn’t a great experience unless you bought L2 and R2 buttons.

Hopefully MGS1 is based on the Twin Snakes version

Hopefully MGS1 is based on the Twin Snakes version

The image for it they’re using is promo art for OG MGS1, so I’d say it’s unlikely. Though I would prefer TS to be included as well. Maybe in Vol. 2? Probably not though because their might be issue since several different companies had their hands on that game development wise.

The minimal changes will be removing some of the real world archive footage. The licenses for them ran out and that's why the HD Collection was de-listed from every platform and storefront a couple of years ago.

Hopefully MGS1 is based on the Twin Snakes version

It's based on the PSX one, we already know that from the collection's official website.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Psycho Mantis will now guess your pronouns and intentionally misgender you instead of looking through your saved data and disconnecting controller port 1.

 

[KrazyKrelian]

Konami correctly realizes that those who claim Twin Snakes is superior are a very loud minority who probably just prefer Nintendo over Sony.

 

[Thabass]

"Minimal changes" to me, sound like sensitivity reader changes for the sissies out there that would get triggered at some of those codec conversations.

It's also probably due to the live footage shots that they would sometimes use in the mission briefing and cutscenes.

FYI. This is the context for those minimal changes.

Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 have been removed from digital stores due to licensing issues with their usage of historical footage.

Konami has released a statement that explains the details.

"Thank you for playing the Metal Gear series," it reads. "We are currently working on renewing the licenses for select historical archive footage used in-game, therefore, we have made the temporary decision to begin suspending the sale of Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3 and all products that include these games from digital storefronts globally starting from 8th November 2021.

Let's hope it's just BLUEPOINT Remasters at 4K60.

 

[GreatnessRD]

[NeonGhost]

Let's hope it's just BLUEPOINT Remasters at 4K60.

Prob be just straight ports of the he collection version at 720p

 

[AlteredForms]

Let's be honest, we PC gamers have been starved for some good MGS action on PC. The closest we got was MGSV and that horrible Survive. I don't expect these to be thorough and well-crafted ports, but I'd take them over nothing, even if they're broken lol.

 

[gothmog]

Prob be just straight ports of the he collection version at 720p

I'm fine with that as long as it's upscaled nicely.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Prob be just straight ports of the he collection version at 720p

This about what I expected

 

[near]

Do we know who is working on the port?

 

[Deerock71]

Wasn't there some issue about the NYC footage and Stock Lab footage from MGS2 and 3 that expired a few years back which caused them to pull MGS2 and 3 HD from stores? Maybe the changes are related to that.

Is THAT why I've never been able to pick them up?

 

[PaddyOCanager]

Hopefully MGS1 is based on the Twin Snakes version

 

[March Climber]

Just like their other collections, I just want these features:

Including scans of the manuals and quick save/quick load.

 

[LordCBH]

I’ll buy it. But I really want MGS4 remastered.

 

[adamsapple]

Let's hope it's just BLUEPOINT Remasters at 4K60.

I'd be happy with that.

But I sincerely hope they don't try to sell it as a full priced game.

 

[NeonGhost]

Oh you paying full price

New codec chat, Snake banging on about "its okay to not be okay" die your hair pink and blue and confuse your kids by not giving them a gender.

 

[Gp1]

Hopefully MGS1 is based on the Twin Snakes version

Both 1 and 2 are already on GOG, so thank God no. Finally we will receive a official mgs3 version.

Considering Kojima predicted cancel culture and “fake news”, I wouldnt be surprised

This makes sense.

 

[Gambit2483]

"Minimal changes" we took a few things out?

Or

"Minimal changes" don't expect too many new features added?

 

[Badlucktroll]

i think mgs4 will never be in a collection because its too hard and because konami. those are the reasons i think

 

[Forsythia]

I want more publishers to do this. Give me the classis Resident Evil, Silent Hill and Tomb Raider games and I'm good to go.

 

[pauljeremiah]

I think we've found Denis Dyack's alt account.

 

[RedC]

I think it's likely the latter.

This is a real blow to the “opinions cannot be wrong” crowd

 

[NecrosaroIII]

What's wrong with Twin Snakes

+ Better voice acting performances
+ Better graphics
+ Improved cutscenes

Only downside is the music changes. and no vr missions.

 

[NeonGhost]

Both

 

[Diddy X]

They already said mgs4 was a mess to port to other platforms so probably never happening.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Yeah Konami doesn’t want to pay the 2 billion dollars or whatever to port it

 

[Badlucktroll]

I always thought Capcom could make a classic Resident Evil collection extra special and marketable by finishing Resident Evil 1.5, sprucing it up, and marketing it as a “new” classic Resident Evil. Call it Resident Evil 2 alternate or something.

Better cutscenes? So snake jumping off of a moving missile that was shot at him by a helicopter is a good cutscene to you?

Or him back flipping onto a sniper rifle that pops it up in the air and then doing a 360 spin and landing a perfect shot was cooler?

With the skills that he had in TTS, he wasn’t just overpowered, he was better than everyone else at everything. I’m not saying no parts they added were cool, but overall they really really overdid it.

 

[sankt-Antonio]

It’s more the music I’m bothered about, remember the MGS theme was kinda plagiarized

Why do you care if it was plagiarized? Honest question.

 

[dotnotbot]

Guys, "minimal edits" clearly refers to the archival historical footage that was the reason the games got delisted on older consoles. It's not gonna be "woke" nor miss any music, don't worry.

It’s more the music I’m bothered about, remember the MGS theme was kinda plagiarized

It's clearly plagiarized (not only the melody itself is similar but harmonies are almost identical first and foremost) but it's plagiarizm of a classical music piece from 1935 so I doubt it's protected in the same way as some modern songs. I'm pretty sure they can't get sued. HD Collection wasn't delisted nor its music altered because of that so it must be safe.

 

[SCB3]

Why do you care if it was plagiarized? Honest question.

I mean I like the music and want it in the remaster/collection

 

[Sleepwalker]

I'd be happy with that.

But I sincerely hope they don't try to sell it as a full priced game.

Open up the wallet fam, we paying $70 for this.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

We are talking about Konami here. I will say that it will be most likely the PS versions of the game emulated on all platforms, with the archive footage removed and that's it. No other changes. Oh and $60.

Maybe if you are lucky the emulator will run at 60 fps + filtering.

Agree. The way it’s been handled these last 2 days, it looks like a phoned in port job of the HD collection, and god knows what Snake Eater Delta will be like.

The whole thing has a feeling of being a rushed last moment decision to announce something.

 

[GHG]

Don't give them any ideas.

 

[KuraiShidosha]

Please god no annoying woke censorship and boring changes.
