Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 - PS5

Product Information

Still the 4K mod proves a proper, official 4K option that could and should have been included by Konami. On the other hand, Nintendo Switch leaves all these edges entirely raw without any AA whatsoever, creating heavy visual noise and flickering, especially in motion. Its unique mixture of stealth gameplay and lengthy, story-heavy cutscenes is unmatched to this day; it's baffling that nobody has tried to earnestly create their own take on such sneaking missions in the time since Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. it will never stop amazing me that in a couple of years we went from jagged polygons to ice cubes melting in real time.

Meanwhile the Playstation 2 duo - MGS2 and 3 - use code from the 2011 Bluepoint HD Collection versions for Xbox 360 and PS3.Yes, the quality of the originals was always going to be there, but surely the quality of the package as a remaster should have more weight in the verdict. Still, the Master Collection marks the first-ever Trophy list for Metal Gear Solid, and earning a Platinum gong for such a coveted title is an offer most fans won't be able to refuse. It's fine for jumping in and out of one specific title, but you've got to play a guessing game to locate the extra content. There are no extra bells or whistles to be found in the new Master Collection; the three games are as they were either 25 years ago or following the PS3 remasters from Bluepoint Games — save for a small resolution bump.

The reason being that the aforementioned game retcons/reveals so much about a previously established character that you will have a fundamentally different experience depending on which option you choose. One more straightforwardly positive change I noticed is that the delay on codec dialogue in MGS2 has been reduced compared to the 2011 HD Collection. It's worth stressing that the best way to play this is in selecting the English US version from the menus, which gets you a higher max frame-rate than the default English UK option.That's a big setback next to the HD Collection, which runs at 60fps on older 360 and PS3 hardware - and even on PS2, MGS2 was built to run at 60fps. The quality of the games have been well documented for over 20 years; we all know they're all-time classics but that's not what this review should be about imo. a modder has already patched the collection so that it runs the games at 1080p and even 4k (with old textures of course) but that is a steep improvement over what konami released! Hardware clock speeds are simulated too, meaning we get an authentic 30fps cap with hard drops to 20fps and under, normally in the first-person view.

What you're actually getting is five separate apps on the PS5 home screen rather than a single, comprehensive bundle.Your impression of Anakin, the Jedi and the Force will not be the same as what we oldies had back in the day. Nvidia, AMD and Intel's graphics control panels let us override the game's AF setting, bumping it to 16x instead for example. The first MGS, for example, runs via an emulator at the same 240p resolution and frame-rate as original PS1 hardware.

It's a flourish that stays on modern consoles, but as far as the core gameplay goes, both games run at 60fps. DF Retro: Metal Gear Solid 2 - A Kojima Masterpiece Here is John's look at Metal Gear Solid 2 from 2017. What we have here is the original Metal Gear Solid presented in all its PS1 glory, coupled with the PS3 HD remasters of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. The bottom line is that the Master Collection presents the core Metal Gear Solid 1, 2 and 3 games with limited enhancements over any previous release. And by the day, more mods are being made for PC like HD texture packs, and improved resolution mods.Looks like the score is for the games themselves and not the collection which looks like a hot mess. There's something to be said for having all these classics in one convenient package for today's consoles and PC. There's still nothing else quite like a Metal Gear Solid game out there, and dipping your toes into any one of them is enough to consider ignoring your current-gen backlog for a few playthroughs all over again.

There are omissions of course, but it would have been enough if each game had been ported to current-gen consoles with the love and attention they deserve - but sadly, this isn't the reality.
