[Bumblebeetuna]

Hot damn I forgot about this. 2023 has been amazing.

 

[StueyDuck]

It's gonna be Konami weak but I can't waaaaaait fuuuck, gonna gobble those platinums so fast

 

[Killer8]

I have to wonder why MGS1 is so large for a PS1 game.

Some of the PS1 BC games on PS5 are also inexplicably huge:

Oddworld: Abe's Exodus - 3.96gb
Syphon Filter 2 - 6gb
The Legend of Dragoon - 6.47gb

 

[GreatnessRD]

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Isn't this capped at 30 FPS even on PC?

 

[Damigos]

30 fps = no thanks

 

[Arsic]

Isn't this capped at 30 FPS even on PC?

And 1080p with not even up scaling.

If modders save this I’ll get it down the line. Otherwise this is a waste of $.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Knock 40 off the price and we'll talk

It may contain the Isos for the different releases of the game on the original PlayStation, that is English, french, Spanish etc, every version had its own print and they were 2 discs each

[adamsapple]

Eh, will check it out. Too many other new games I am more interested in, and the 1080p cap doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

 

[Xander3116]

Can you buy the games separately on ps5?

 

[Badlucktroll]

For Vol. 2, i wonder who they are having get MGS4 off Ps3, and how it will run

 

[bosnianpie]

It's gonna be Konami weak but I can't waaaaaait fuuuck, gonna gobble those platinums so fast

Are there trophies for MGS1 aswell? Can't decide of I'm going to buy this. It feels half-assed like hell but I want to support the series and perhaps get some new games in the future.

 

[bender]

My expectations are low but I'm still pretty excited.

 

[Ronin_7]

Holding for Digital Foundry.

 

[KeepThemEyesOpen]

Holding for Digital Foundry.

Yeah, I want to see how good of a port these are. John already covered all the ports for MGS 2 a few years ago so hopefully him or someone else on the team will compare to the og's.

 

[Senua]

Imagine giving konami your hard earned money with yet another half arsed port fest

 

[DR3AM]

Did they at least include Achievements?

 

[Cert.in.Death]

[RagnarokIV]

Day one, son. Steam, Xbox, Switch and PlayStation.

 

[nani17]

One of the trophies for MSG3 has to be beating all the bosses by draining their stamina. Also pc version will get a FPS unlock mod pretty quick

 

[proandrad]

The size of mgs 1 gives me hope they put a little extra effort on it.

 

[Skifi28]

Pre-loading at 1080p as we speak.

 

[SenkiDala]

I don't get people complaining about it being 1080p. Who needs 4K for a PS1 GAME ??? Are you people insane ? 1080p is more than enough, you wouldn't see a difference on such a game between FHD and 4K.

Day one on PS5.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I'll wait for a tech analysis for the Switch version of this MGS collection since that's the one I'm planning on buying (probably later down the road).

 

[phant0m]

So, still inferior to just running my MGS2&3 discs in PCSX2 with 3x upscaling (1440p) and 60 fps?

Why do you need 8.45GB for a PS1 game???

 

[SenkiDala]

It doesn't contain just the game but the emulator, the background images, probably some bonus contents, maybe different dubbing choices.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I remember being excited about playing MGS1 on a current gen console, but that excitment left the building rather quickly. Zero effort ports require a massive sale for me to want to pick this up.

Are there trophies for MGS1 aswell? Can't decide of I'm going to buy this. It feels half-assed like hell but I want to support the series and perhaps get some new games in the future.

This is just a cash grab. How MGS Delta sells is what matters regarding the future of the franchise.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Tempted to get just the third game to play on Steam Deck at some point but not until later. Way too much else to play at the moment.

 

[StueyDuck]

I assume so. I haven't checked myself because I don't want to spoil the trophies, sounds crazy but I know these 3 games to a disgusting degree so I'm curious to see if I can Plat without looking.

Knowing Konami effort though it's gonna be dumb like defuse 500 bombs with coolant

 

[Barakov]

8 GBs for a PS1 game.

What a mess. This one is a deep sale for me.

 

[Dr.brain64]

Will get when cheap.

 

[Gamespawn]

Mine says not until the 22nd

 

[Bernkastel]

So, I don't know where to post this
The Metal Gear JP twitter posted this


And at the exact same time

Spoiler

Tomorrow, the super dangerous song will be released! ( ╹◡╹ ) ♡

 

[KrisB]

Did they at least include Achievements?

According to this post there is 132 across the collection.

 

[RaduN]

Absolutely.
Mainly because the fucked post processing effects (either missing or way reduced in intensity), and also dust and rain effects.

Pcsx2 plays them perfectly, as of most recent update.

 

[Mephisto40]

Hot damn I forgot about this. 2023 has been amazing.

I wouldn't get too excited, the collection seems like it's going to be complete ass

smh. i don't ask for much, but once again the emulation community produces better results for free than the multi-million dollar company's "ports"

 

[diffusionx]

Wait, people are excited about this?

 

[Pipoqueiro]

Have you already released the individual purchase of each title? I'm not interested in the first one

 

[Elios83]

Just to be clear since I've read conflicting reports....is MGS1 running at native 1080p or it's original resolution upscaled to 1080p?

 

[Skifi28]

Wait, people are excited about this?

Why would people be excited to replay very popular and critically acclaimed games on modern platforms? It's a mystery.

 

[diffusionx]

it's a shameless, lazy money grab by a company that is just impossible to trust, put out some of the worst compilations in history, and has had horrible messaging and PR on this game.

Preordering this is just insane.

 

[Skifi28]

Preordering this is just insane.

I don't disagree as this is how I feel about pre-ordering in general, but asking why people are excited to replay some of their favourite games is daft.

Metal Gear Solid 3 was one of the first games I bought on the PS2, and I remember how impressed I was by the sound, graphics, and story coming from PS1/Saturn games; Being able to replay them with trophies is a good reason, even if it is available in emulation
However, I won't give the full price, I'll just buy it separately

 

[VinnyMac]

Good I can just add mgs1 to my list instead of 2 and 3 already did them on ps3 really no need to do it again.

Day one on PS5.

Probably pc nerds who are desperate for a high frame rate game to actually work so they thought a ps1 game was the perfect 4080ti showcase.
