[Kilau]

The minimal change is to remove the best scene.

 

[AlteredForms]

Don't give them any ideas.

 

[aclar00]

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

Best theme ever

 

[Muffdraul]

I'm cool with minimal changes. But only if one of them is Bluepoint at least including the option to use the original button layout from the OG games. Yeah I get it, I know, they swapped O and X in the HD remasters because players outside Japan are used it. But some of us liked it the way it was. Including the option wouldn't fucking kill them.

 

[MAtgS]

Hopefully MGS1 is based on the Twin Snakes version

Nintendo straight up owns TS's code, so not happening except if there's a Switch version.

PS There better fucking be a Switch version.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

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.

I didn't say better cutscenes. But that said, while those things are goofy, they're not that out of place for the series as a whole.

 

[SegaSnatcher]

Why does Konami hate MGS4 so much? Get that game off PS3!

They are when you consider characters.

Only Gray Fox and Cyborg Raider could maybe pull off a quarter of what was done by Snake in TTS.

Snake is a regular human, and while he’s a badass, the impossible things he does in TTS makes Michael Bay worst movies look tame.

He should’ve killed every bad guy by sniping while wall running throughout Shadow Moses.

I suspect we may have to wait for a remake.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

I want this version of mgs1

Metal Gear Solid: The Board Game - Integral Edition on BackerKit

Metal Gear Solid gets reimagined as a cooperative tabletop game where players take on the role of their favorite characters.

[93xfan]

So glad it’s the PS1 version. Hopes it’s the Integral version with the extra costumes for Snake and Meryl

 

[DavJay]

The collection being vol 1 implies MGS4 is finally getting a rerelease.

Does Nintendo really own the code? The game was published by Konami and the copyright notice does not allude to Nintendo owning any part of it.

Not trying to be snarky. I’m genuinely curious.

 

[proandrad]

4k60 ray tracing quality mode/4k120 performance mode... The dream.

It's like Bayonetta 2+3 they got their fingers wrapped around it. Otherwise Konami would've put it in the last HD collection.

 

[adamsapple]

There won't be any changes to the games. No RT.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

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

They probably outsourced the remake to some random studio in Poland like they did with all those SH titles. If it was BluePoint, it would of been shouted from the top of the rooftops.

Its probably a mess because Silicon Knights also went under in a blaze of fire and lawsuits, then you have Konami, Nintendo and whatever copyrighted materials are in the game.

It’s already been confirmed that’s it’s the Bluepoint versions from the xbox 360/ps3 he collection

 

[Gambit2483]

Both

 

[Draxon Gamer]

Vol 2 will include MGS4 only for those who have PS Premium with cloud turned on.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Oh you are talking about the collection. I was thinking about MGS 3 remake. The collection is obviously just a lazy port, I hope people realize that. We aint getting some crazy remaster except that it will be playable on current gen.

 

[lh032]

Hopefully MGS1 is based on the Twin Snakes version

i thought twin snake suckass

 

[Torrent of Pork]

[KrazyKrelian]

Some people disagree, but I really liked the outlandish accents that Mei Ling and Naomi had in MGS1. It was charming, not offensive.

Also one of the best VA performances ever is Gray Fox in MGS1. "Hurt me more!!!"

 

[Gojiira]

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.

Eww gtfo, TS was garbage of the highest caliber. OG MGS1 or nothing…

 

[darrylgorn]

The only change I would like to see in MGS1 would be proper 3D modeling and removing the texture warping but that's probably too much to ask.

 

[DaGwaphics]

Don't give them any ideas.

Grove Street Games is prepared to jump in as a satellite studio to get these things done.

 

[DaGwaphics]

I enjoyed MGS 2 on the OG Xbox. I might have to give this a look. Never played 1 or 3. Still have 5 in the old backlog.

 

[Larxia]

Real question, why do people hate Twin Snakes so much?
I know it has some goofy backflip cutscenes and such that people aren't fan of, but is that just that?

I played it a while ago now but I remember finding it a lot more enjoyable to play than the original. The controls are smoother, it looks a lot better, there are several quality of life / features added from MGS2, I don't really see what's so bad about it

It wasn't released on a playstation platform

 

[VinnyMac]

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.

I think they're ps5 only

 

[DevilMayFlyForAWhiteGuy]

Eww gtfo, TS was garbage of the highest caliber. OG MGS1 or nothing…

I mean I was saying having both OG and TS would be nice. Not TS instead of OG. Pretty sure TS is wicked expensive to get a physical copy of, so having an official HD port would at least be nice for those who haven’t tried it but want to.

 

[cartman414]

Integral, Substance and Subsistence versions please.

I mean I like it, but I can understand if someone prefers the original (as someone who prefers OG RE4 over REm4ke still).

Most people seem to criticize the fact that the added MGS2 mechanics make some bosses easier. Fair enough, but it doesn’t bother me that much.

The other major criticism seems to be that the cutscenes are over exaggerated versions of the original; having Snake doing things more ridiculously/outlandishly. For example, at one point he jumps off a missle in mid air and throws a grenade at another when fighting Liquid in the Hind D.

Which is fucking stupid, but from MGS2 onward there’s a lot of stupid/ridiculous shit that makes just as little sense that happens. Like especially in MGS4. That whole game is like that. The whole series has ridiculous nonsense in it (and that’s part of its charm), so I don’t think Twin Snakes stands out that much in that regard.

Also some people prefer the voice acting in the original. Again fair enough, but a character like Mei Ling’s voice in MGS4 (for instance) is carried over from Twin Snakes and not the original. So some things from TS Kojima obviously preferred.

I think some more people would warm up to it if it were more accessible in such an HD collection.

Also I’ll add the disclaimer that I may have some nostalgia for Twin Snakes, since admittedly it was my first MGS game. As a kid after seeing Snake was going to be in Smash Bros Brawl, and since I only had a GameCube, I played it first. I’m sure some people will scoff at that but it got me into the series. Love me some MGS.

The voice acting in TS is far superior. Maybe the actors were more seasoned. Or maybe TS had a better director.

I'll die on this hill.

100% agree. Loved the accents in that game

 

[Beer Baelly]

They made some good collections the last few years. I wouldn't worry.

 

[StueyDuck]

For me I want an exact carbon copy of the games remastered at a higher resolution and with 60fps gameplay...

That's all I want.

Don't fuck with it and try do the gta collection upscaling or any shit like that.

Just give me native widescreen/60fps

 

[Gojiira]

Hmmm ok thats acceptable I suppose, what they really need is HD updates for the AC!D series. So underrated.

How do you do the Psycho Mantis fight with modern controllers?

If I get paid to figure that out I would. That ain't my job

 

[The Fuzz damn you!]

“Minimal changes”

So… changes, but none of the ones that we want.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

I played MGS2 at 8k on PC. Sure it's not official but who cares?
And apparently even PS3 emulation is good nowadays.

 

[YCoCg]

I didn't say better cutscenes. But that said, while those things are goofy, they're not that out of place for the series as a whole.

They are considering those things in later titles are usual reserved for super natural characters or the ninjas, Snake is meant to be the normal soldier, in Twin Snakes every damn character is bouncing around like The Mask, hardly anyone is grounded in reality.
