MGS: MASTER COLLECTION Vol. 1 will release on October 24th, 2023.

 

[RoboFu]

While very cool .. this is something I hope comes to steam as well. I rather have all the old school collections on steam.

 

[JimboJones]

I wonder what the the OG MGS is based on, emulated PS version or port of PC version?

 

[MadchesterManc]

Be interesting to see how these turn out on the Switch and if there's enough of an upgrade to buy these again. Already got MGS HD on Vita & the 3D version of Snake Eater on 3DS, so pretty much covered on the go

 

[Scotty W]

I wonder if the vr missions will be included

 

[Sojiro]

Really solid . Man I hope to fuck they will put out a physical version, I really want to get this, but would like a physical version.

 

[DavJay]

Volume 2 with PW, 4 and 5?

It was announced for Steam when revealed but I wonder if it includes the NES games, as far as I know Snakes Revenge isn't on any digital store

 

[ArtHands]

Hell yah, also coming to Steam and Xbox

 

[solidus12]

Price ?

 

[Ben87fr]

Coming to Xbox too ? Have not played those for some time now, great news !

 

[justonething]

Volume 2 with PW, 4 and 5?

Watch them skip 4.
PO, PW, GZ, PP.

 

[Puscifer]

Yeah they confirmed it on Twitter, looks like the HD collection for sure but re-released.

I want ports of AC!D, don't care. They were fun spin offs

 

[Hayabusa83]

Oh yeah another 'master collection' lol

 

[dotnotbot]

They are really gonna include wobbly emulated ps1 version huh? Instead of taking PC version and improving it? Lazy AF

I wonder what the the OG MGS is based on, emulated PS version or port of PC version?

Hint

Not even widescreen

 

[Senua]

Price ?

You know full well lol

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Day one, on Xbox or PS5.

I don’t think I ever played Snakes Revenge, but I remember MG on NES being hard as fuck.

 

[MagnesD3]

I just like that Nintendo fans who don't branch out can play this amazing franchise now

 

[MAtgS]

Volume 2 with PW, 4 and 5?

Portable Ops and Ghost Babel.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Waiting for this will be the longest 4 months of my life.
Also, did Nintendo's upload just spill that it includes Snake's Revenge and the NES Metal Gear too?

 

[alf717]

Wonder if Snake can crouch walk in 3 like in the 3DS version.

They were always included in MGS 3 HD

Nvm, they were not

 

[RagnarokIV]

Sadly no, it's the HD collection re-released.

 

[Kabelly]

personally i never have had the opportunity to play these games so just having this collection coming out in general is a blessing. very excited it's finally getting ported to modern consoles.

 

[RagnarokIV]

They were always included in MGS 3 HD

From memory I know MSX Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake were there.

I don't think it had the NES version of Metal Gear or the unofficial sequel Snake's Revenge though?

 

[Killer8]

Concerned for this port. Looked like the framerate topped out at 30fps.

Yes, my bad, looks like it didn't. Edited my post like a minute ago.

 

[Shifty1897]

Volume 2 with PW, 4 and 5?

I still don't believe that Konami would be willing (or able) to do the work to get 4 running on modern hardware.
Vol 2 might include portable ops, peace walker, ground zeroes and phantom pain.

[yurinka]

Volume 2 with PW, 4 and 5?

I see more likely being:

• Metal Gear Ghost Babel
• Metal Gear Ac!d
• Metal Gear Ac!d 2
• Metal Gear Portable Ops
• Metal Gear Peace Walker

MGSV already is on PS4/PS5, XBO/Series and PC, so I think they won't include it in a collection.

MGS4 would require a complete port/remaster remaking its code from scratch, can't be simply emulated on current gen consoles. That would require too much money, so instead of selling it inside a collection, I think it would make more sense to release it as a separate remaster/remake.

They are making a MGS3 remake now, so I assume that if the collection and the remake performs well in sales they'd remake MGS1 and MGS2 before remaking MGS4.

 

[ArtHands]

Snakes Revenge and Metal Gear NES will be included if you buy the full Master Collection Vol 1 on any platform

Switch could still get a port of the 360 version.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

100% in for this.

 

[The Stig]

eh, the HD collection runs at 60fps on ps3, im sure it'll be fine

edit - also the topic title is misleading, its coming to all the main platforms

 

[CamHostage]

Pretty surprising to me how much is packed into this. The three games, of course, but also the MSX and NES games (just ROMs but still unexpected on the NES titles,) and then the digital comics and all the extra artwork and music features. Will have to see how the emulation works out, but the full package is nicely produced.

 

[Gambit2483]

These games should have no issues running 60fps on Switch. Definitely getting this on Switch for the portability

 

[DareDaniel]

My favorite game of all time is not stuck on my PS3 anymore, FINALLY.

 

[yurinka]

None of these games was PS3 only.

It includes MSX, NES, PS1 and PS2 games, which later got included in a HD Collection for Vita, PS3, 360 and PC. This seems to be basically that collection ported to current gen consoles and tweaked with some bonus content like guides.

Switch could still get a port of the 360 version.

I assume they'll port the PC version of the Metal Gear HD Collection to all current consoles, sounds like the 'easiest' job.

Blue Point isn't walking back through that door. Also Konami. We should all be very cautious.

 

[Gojiira]

Same for me, AC!D 1 was a perfect game between MGS1 and 2, showing the kinda missions Snake underwent in the interim. Not to mention brought back the fictional nations from MG1/2 as well.

 

[Gambit2483]

These are 20 year old games. There's no reason at all they shouldn't run 60fps when they have hit those targets before, on weaker hardware

Konami

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Wow!! Sons of liberty on Nintendo Switch!!

 

[delirium trigger]

It's been a joke that these games haven't been playable on recent consoles. 20 bucks for MGS individually is criminal. Makes the GTA remaster look good.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

The perfect way to enjoy a stealth action series, with drifting joycons and pro controller

 

[GinSama]

I wonder if the vr missions will be included

Yes they will

Not too surprising, Konami have been doing excellent work with their ports. The Castlevania and Contra Anniversary collections were fantastic and were done by M2, who are the gold standard developer of ports. The upcoming Suikoden remaster also looks like one of the best HD-2D remasters yet.

People are just far too consumed by their Konami hate boner though to recognize that the company is capable of quality.

 

[Gojiira]

Ah all entries even non canon Snakes Revenge. Maybe Gaiden will be in Vol 2 with both AC!D games.

[DownLikeBCPowder]

No Twin Snakes?
