Are you guys ready for a terrible conversion?

Note: This is for the new feature of being able to pause cut-scenes, in the video you can see the player pauses in a cut-scene, but it takes approximately 10 seconds for the pause menu to actually show up. This does not effect bringing up the codec menu in the game etc.

 

[Sleepwalker]

You had one job Konami

 

[Lucifers Beard]

That's an easy one to avoid. No chance I'm going to touch that disaster.

 

[RoboFu]

which specific place are you talking about? I see the player pause on accident and it only takes a sec.

 

[adamsapple]

Right at the start when the submarine insertion scene is happening, he presses pause, you hear the pause sound, the screen freezes for around 10 seconds, then the pause menu pops up.

Fuck Man, I really wanted to get this one.

 

[GeorgioCostanzaX]

I’ll probably buy it on steam just to have it for archival purposes but damn that’s rough. I’ll just continue to play it on emulators more than likely.

same, I was thinking this would be a great way to play the games on my Steam Deck

In the opening cinematic the player pauses a few times and it takes forever to load the pause menu.

 

[Sleepwalker]

To be fair in the original you couldn't pause during cutscenes but still.

 

[Big Baller]

Amazing

 

[Larxia]

In the opening cinematic the player pauses a few times and it takes forever to load the pause menu.

There's also some huge random freezes without even pausing, like here at 7:04


So weird lol.

 

[Drizzlehell]

Disc, lol.

 

[GrayDock]

Didn't get that loading, but, as a side note, didn't know that MGS had a Italian dub. Only knew English and Japanese ones...

 

[Imtjnotu]

 

[LukeAJN]

What a damn shame, MGS is one of my favorite video game series ever created. If the rest of the ports run smoothly I'll probably still buy it but will feel dirty while doing so.

 

[FromDuskTillGameOver]

This is a frickin lay-up Konami. How are they fumbling this?!

 

[MarkMe2525]

Probably should slow down before completely dismissing the game. Could be a quick fix with a patch. Now of course, if these issues continue into other areas of the game, then cause for concern is warranted.

 

[RagnarokIV]

What's up with the shit font in the codec? Was the font always that for non-English ver?

 

[solidus12]

Series S strikes again

Spoiler

I kid I kid

 

[MiguelItUp]

Honestly, considering Konami's track record, I wasn't expecting this to come out perfect and clean. It's why I was so confused that there was preloading for it. Hopefully it DOES get cleaned up though.

 

[saintjules]

Eh, play it like a Souls game. No pausing there, right?

 

[Senua]

Incompetent

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Jfc, so glad I didn't preorder this one.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

I mean... those disc load times are for real.

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

I can only imagine the MGS4:

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Hopefully enough dumb asses have preordered this turd. They have to learn it the hard way. Never fucking preorder.

People are always going to preorder. We're out own worst enemies

 

[funking giblet]

Don't buy anything these guys put out. No doubt Vol.2 (if it gets released after this shitshow) will be the same.

 

[GrayChild]

Oh boy, can't wait for the new Silent Hill games...

 

[VulcanRaven]

Right at the start when the submarine insertion scene is happening, he presses pause, you hear the pause sound, the screen freezes for around 10 seconds, then the pause menu pops up.

You couldn't pause during cutscenes in the original game. It would just skip them. Also that in the video doesn't look like the normal pause screen. I haven't watched the whole video but there is no way the normal pausing takes that long during gameplay.

Yes, the ability to pause cut-scenes is a new one, but it looks like a pretty bad implementation of it.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Sad shit.

Save your money.

The cutscene pause screen is not part of the actual game so I don't think its a big problem.

 

[poodaddy]

Good ole Konami. You can always trust that you can't trust them, and in that way they're kind of reliable....reliably unreliable.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Didn't get that loading, but, as a side note, didn't know that MGS had a Italian dub. Only knew English and Japanese ones...

And Spanish. And it's one of the best ever done.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Where is the power of SSD?

 

[Markio128]

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

There seems to be a lot of confusion here. On Reddit, some people are saying it is only the European version of the game.

Others are saying it does not affect Switch or Xbox versions. I’m not sure what is true.

 

[Ronin_7]

Great use of Ps5 SSD!

 

[jayj]

Konami in the modern age is such a joke.

 

[Fabieter]

It's an addition to the original release. I got the collection on disc for 45 euro and won't cancel

 

[shaddam]

We need faster SSD technology!

 

[Fake]

You had one job Konami

Konami, like Blizzard, is just a name. The people that make the company name is already gone.

 

[Embearded]

Day 1
I have the entire week off, it's gonna be a blast!

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

In the last thread, I said that this has a chance of being Konami's worst port job yet, and everyone called me crazy. We're on our way, boys.

*laughs in Silent Hill HD Collection*

 

[violence]

Konami can really half-ass it can they?

 

[Rykan]

The cutscene pause screen is not part of the actual game so I don't think its a big problem.

This needs to be in the OP. You could not pause in the original game. I can hardly blame anyone for some technical difficulties when adding new features, considering how old the game is.

I've skimmed through the rest of the video and it seems...fine? Seems like a faithful conversion of the original MGS.

 

[Badlucktroll]

wtf is it running on a dos emulator?

 

[Boss Mog]

Why do people buy these garbage "ports"? I use quotes because it's clearly not a port, it's just emulation, bad one at that.
