Shouldn’t we talk about the fact that the guard finally wears underwear?

 

[CuteFaceJay]

That old Komonie chime still hits hard.

It’s 50. Not full price

I shouldve clarified i'm in Australia, $87.95 is full price. Is 50 bux american supposed to be better for zero effort ports? buy it if it makes you happy im not telling you not to.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

They should of hired Digital Eclipse to do this collection

How the hell one of the biggest video game publishers could fall this hard? Konami just don't care anymore. Just sell the gaming division already, and keep the health & insurance businesses to yourselves.

I for one think they should sell the IPs to Sony, so we can get AAA titles (probably with input from Kojima), of Silent Hill, Metal Gear, and Castlevania. They could also milk those for movies and streaming series.

It's a 2 second pause to go from gameplay to the Master Collection menu. It's longer (11 sec) when going from cutscene to the Master Collection Menu.
The streamer is also playing the PAL version of MGS1. PAL doesn't run as smooth as NTSC.

 

[adamsapple]

I am fully expecting this to be a shot port, but this is an absolute non-issue. People are claiming this is literally unplayable because… it doesn’t have instantaneous pausing during cut-scenes? And this makes it worse than the GTA remaster? What the fuck are you people talking about?

None of this is helped by adamsapple ‘s click-bait drama post title, of course, but ffs - this is not the hill to die on. And people here complain about game devs having “agendas”…

All the relevant info is in the OP, I've not missed out on anything intentionally and you can only add so much in a topic title.

Hopefully there's an option to switch to NTSC rom, otherwise it's gonna have same judder issues as Sony's PS1 emulation had.

 

[Dazraell]

It's still mindblowing to me how this collection went in my impression from "must buy" on its initial announcement to just "meh, maybe a deep sale"

Do you know If we can choose which version to run?

 

[KOMANI]

yeah, you can chose. PAL is probably still offered for its language options.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

I agree it's weird that mgs 2 and 3 didn't get a higher resolution but besides that this offer is totally fine.

They did, though.

 

[Embearded]

Thanks,

I pre ordered the disc version and live in Greece. I hope NTSC is included as an option in the disc we'll get in europe.

 

[TrebleShot]

Seriously, with this level of graphics improvement achievable on Duckstation :


Yet PC gamers still want to give money to Konami?

wow off i go to get this will still get the PS5 version of the collection to trophy hunt.

 

[KOMANI]

as noted on the PS store: Regional versions of the titles are available as additional downloads.

On something that actually matters where is the trophy list

Metal Gear Solid Collection pausing time on cutscenes incredibly slow, takes 10+ seconds to display pause screen

Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 is due to release soon. New information provided on a stream of the classic game collection reveals that the game’s loading times for pausing the game during cutscenes are pitifully slow. So much so that it takes over 10 seconds after pressing the start button to even get the game to pause. This sounds pretty shocking. Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 isn’t due out until next week, so there’s some hope that there could be a day one patch to fix this particular issue. But at the present moment, the slow response regarding the controls doesn’t bode particularly well for the classic collection.

See Below:

Psycho Mantis is playing the game

 

[Nankatsu]

You're telling me it takes longer to pause on a PS1 game than faster traveling in a PS5 game (Spider-man 2)?

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 - MGS1 Port Takes 10~ Seconds to "Pause" Game

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...

I can't imagine any MGS1 fan not owning at least one legal version of it across the console generations.

I honestly can't even remember how many times I've bought MGS, RE4 and Skyrim. At least 3 or 4 times. Each.

 

[Three]

Has anybody tried entering the konami code in those 10 seconds?

 

[Mownoc]

Quite a misleading title, I thought this was a huge issue. But just when pausing cutscenes? Eh.

I imagine there are going to be more problems with it however but we'll get a better picture when it actually comes out.

Not that I disagree, but really, at this point, with these games and with the little actual work put into it to make it a good "remaster"/"rerelease", it's really just inexcusable that something like this, this old, should be anything other than a celebration of the storied franchise. Instead we are again getting a cheap cash-grab by Konami. How they put more work into the Silent Hill 2 rerelease and that was still so poorly done and now this...It's like they really never learn.

 

[Gambit2483]

This entire story was an example of poor journalism and the spread of misinformation. You cannot pause cutscenes in the sense most people are thinking.

You can only pause the emulator running MGS1 and the older MG titles. You cannot pause the (very) lengthy cutscenes in MGS2 or MGS3, which is what most ppl were probably referencing. Yet that little fact didn't stop almost every outlet from running this click bait story.

We need faster SSD technology!

Not even SSD can overcome the power of bad programming.

Konami, like Blizzard, is just a name.

The sooner people realize this for companies across the board, the sooner we give credits where it's truly due.
