Konami has now clarified to VGC that the game will render at the following resolutions:

• All platforms except Switch – 1080p / 60 frames per second target
• Switch (docked mode) – 1080p / 30 frames per second target
• Switch (handheld mode) – 720p / 30 frames per second target

I bet they could reach 4K on PS5/Series X if they really wanted. On PC I bet there'll be mods.

 

[FunkMiller]

Konami doing a half assed job?

[LiquidMetal14]

Thank you Kornami

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

I keep telling yah, 4K is worthless, stick with 1080p.

60 bucks Konami. That's 40 bucks too expensive for these specs.

 

[Yoshichan]

"target"

imagine TARGETING 60fps for a game released in 2001

imbeciles

 

[64bitmodels]

this isn't 2015, it's 2023 Konami. We want 4k!!!

1080p is outdated, yesterday's news

 

[winjer]

 

[Roufianos]

Better than 720p but there's absolutely no reason why these shouldn't be 4k.

30fps on Switch is also a joke.

 

[DaGwaphics]

An improvement from the 720p rumors I guess.

 

[skyfinch]

We need pro machines now! I want to play my mgs collection at 1440p!

 

[diffusionx]

I think the issue with going to 4K is the UI elements which this iteration of Konami definitely is not redoing.

 

[Bernoulli]

good, 1080 is better than 4k

 

[Esppiral]

Shitty emulation nice! You are better of emulating theses games on pc....

 

[ReBurn]

All the way up to 1080p? Good job, Konami!

 

[Represent.]

lmao

 

[ahtlas7]

It’s an artistic choice.

 

[Represent.]

What an embarrassing developer. Not touching this shit with a mile long stick. Game is cross gen trash of decades old games and its still gonna be a blurry 1080 mess?

 

[hemo memo]

I will buy it when it hits $15-20 on eshop.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Nice, day one son. Can not wait for this.

 

[consoul]

"Sir, the internet has reacted poorly to 720p."
"Uh, just say we'll 'target' 1080p."

 

[Elios83]

Konami is still locked in 2013-2015 era, when they abandoned console gaming
But while disappointing 1080p is at least decent enough to not play with a total blurry mess.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Not even 60fps on Switch? This went from ‘I’ll buy it on a sale’ to ‘fuck those lazy, greedy cunts, I’m not ever buying it’.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Look how Tron is liv-in in tha ci-tayyyyy-ayyy

 

[Freelance Yakuza]

Konami be like

 

[Amory]

Switch is very long in the tooth. Unfortunate because it'd probably be my preferred platform but not at 30 fps / 720p.

 

[adamsapple]

Why is the Switch not able to run a 60 FPS 360/PS3 game, at 60 FPS ?

 

[SmokedMeat]

Good guy Konami taking the heat off Rockstar.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Better than 720p but there's absolutely no reason why these shouldn't be 4k.

Coding is hard.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

It is, but Konami is either unwilling or incapable of making it happen.

 

[Destruction-1002]

lmao

Folks on Steam are playing at 1080p

Well as they don't have PC powerful enough to ran games at 1440p 60fps with high settings

 

[AJUMP23]

I bet their gambling machines run at 4k.

Yea, most people have shit PC's. Doesnt mean 1080p is better.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Folks on steam will play counter strike at 1080p on their igpu laptops, hardly makes it a reliable benchmark.

Also these games are anywhere from 15 to 20+ years old for fucks sake lol

 

[Luigi Mario]

How can it be locked to 30fps on Switch when 7th gen consoles were already able to run these games at a relatively stable 60fps?

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Good.

 

[VN1X]

How can it be locked to 30fps on Switch when 7th gen consoles were already able to run these games at a relatively stable 60fps?

Yup bizarro world once again.

I hereby petition for all remasters going forward to be handled by Nightdive Studios. No one else is allowed to remaster their own games. Thank you.

 

[blastprocessor]

My assumption is Konami developers are still using 1080p monitors on dev boxes hence the reason that 4K isn't supported.

 

[Roronoa Zoro]

"target"

imbeciles

Kojima future proofed his game. Made sure if he ever left they'd never be able to get it to work better

 

[STARSBarry]

Guess this confirms that the PSVita is more powerful than the switch. Or developers are just half arsing it, I wonder which is more likely

 

[Roronoa Zoro]

Didn't the original PS2 release of mgs2 have 60fps?

 

[onnextflix5]

Most likely it’s a poor unoptimised port, running it at 4k would probably take another 12 months of dev work. Yeh no chance of mgs4 ports.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Give it a couple more weeks. They will announce it's 4K 120.

Lol @ this "journalist" of nintendo life saying "yeah I'm reading the email of Konami confirming yes this is 720p for all platforms."... How can anyone give credit to those individuals.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Why is MGS 2 Sons of liberty at 30 fps on Nintendo switch, when I played it on original Xbox it could run at 60 fps without problem???

There is no excuse for that Konami.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

"The classics, just as you remember them. No, literally, they're the same,"

"This game was developed by a multicultural team of people who aren't that bigot Kojima,"

"The Best Isn't Yet to Come,"
