Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 PSN Store Page Now Live; Regional Versions Included

The PSN page for the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 reveals exactly which editions of the original titles are being ported. Regional versions of the titles will be available as separate downloads to account for copyright issues.

[FallenAngel1984]

This is basically just like Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection on PS2, except now for modern platforms

It’d be ridiculous for this not to come to PS4 & XO though

[lukasmain]

Why do you think it's called "volume 1"? Do ou think that means some kind of 'volume 2' later on?

[CrimsonWing69]

Are you familiar with the Konami Collections they've put out for their previous franchises? Castlevania has 3 and they tend to group them by platform, so you have PS1 games in a collection, the NES - SNES, and GBA games. I know with Contra they threw all of them onto a single library.

My suspicion is we get Vol. 1 with NES games, PS1, and PS2 games. Vol.2, will be Peacewalker, MGS 4, and MGS V with a possibility to have Ghost Babel and maybe even the Ac!d games.

It would be so awesome if Konami released every Metal Gear game to be played on current-gen consoles.

[VenomUK]

@potatoseal You have an analytical mind - don’t waste that talent you’d do well getting into detective work.

[sadraiden]

@crimsonwing69

I feel like Vol 2 is going to be a bait and switch. You'd think it would come with Peace Walker, 4, and V, but it's Konami. Vol 2 is gonna be Portable Ops, Acid 2, and Survive.

[Gamerscore2077]

Maybe volume 2 will include MGS 4 & Revengeance.

[lukasmain]

@ VenomUK lol ok yes I walked into that one. Your sarcasm was justified lmao. Pretty obvious now. I actually was thinking 'before we knew' like maybe more metal gear solid games are coming. Like ports. I really would like to play them all. I actually only ever played 5 and i absolutely loved it. So I was hoping for a volume 2 of more metal gear games

[ANIALATOR136]

Volume 2 will more likely be Peacewalker, Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain.

[jznrpg]

Ridiculous? You want it ? buy a current gen console it’s been out for nearly 3 years

[Stanjara]

Jesus, what's wrong with having this on ps4... I would buy it, and many others and this is basically already made in some sort of PS emulator.

I'm also waiting for ps5 pro or slim.

P.S. it's not 3 years. Only this year we can get ps5 at retail for msrp.

[darthv72]

There is the full collection on PS3 as well. You had MGS HD collection and MGS the legacy collection. All of which were HD remasters of the originals.

[FallenAngel1984]

@ potato

Chill dude I’m just pointing out the deja vu

@ jz

I already have every Metal Gear game on PS3. I just want to earn trophies for MGS1, Sue me

@ darth

My PS3 is the ultimate Metal Gear system, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want my PS4 to follow suit

[franwex]

Same. My PS3 is my ultimate Metal Gear system too. I have MGS V on it too.

[gold_drake]

i dunno if its ridiculous or not.

i think we are like 3 years in, and if you havent bought either xbox or ps5 yet, you are missing out. this is how it goes, and im glad we're focusing on current gen now.

[franwex]

Is this why I cannot download my existing games? Would I have to rebuy them? :/

[neutralgamer1992]

Welcome to the new age of gaming

[just_looken]

sent you pm reply

[MaxiPower90]

new age? its always been the way.

[ravens52]

Ladies and Gentlemen an example of what having a digital library can do to you. 🧑🏾‍🏫

[franwex]

Oh please. I own them physically too, on their original systems-several times over, Substance, and Subsistance. I simply wanted to play them on PS5 and Xbox series X too.

[Profchaos]

I mean in this case if you have a fat PS3 that'll work but even with PS3 upscaling it won't look like these will e.g. likely blown up to at minimum 1080p

[Chocoburger]

I don't like hearing about these edits. Bluepoint already made the PS3 version worse with different voice acting for Colonel Campbell during some codec dialog, but now we get more downgrades?

Hope it's nothing too severe.

[ANIALATOR136]

Which dialogue?

[Chocoburger]

Since MGS 2 was initially PS2 exclusive, Campbell's dialog to Raiden used PlayStation symbols to explain how to peform actions. He verbally said "Triangle button" "Circle Button" etc. But that won't apply for Xbox controllers, so when MGS 2:S got ported to Xbox, they had to change the dialog for Campbell, and they brought Paul Eiding back in to re-record, but it sounds completely off and not in sync with the other lines. I don't know if they brought him back in a third time for the HD collection or not.

His new lines feels very rushed and cheap, spliced in with the old dialog, and volume levels are different as well. So when the HD collection came out for PS3, they didn't use the original dialog (even though it would have worked perfectly fine), they used the later dialog. Sloppy, lazy implementation, that really takes me out of the experience.

[ANIALATOR136]

Ah ok. I didn't know that. I just watched a video saying the MGS2 HD collection version by Bluepoint was actually a port of the Xbox version and not the original PS2 version like it should have have been.

[neutralgamer1992]

Are these just straight up ports of old games or is there any graphical improvements accessibility options control improvements?

Who are handling the development if there is any? Also, do we know who is working on the remake of MGS3

[FungLip]

Just ports of old HD remasters for the PS3/360. Not sure how great they will look..

[Vengeance1138]

Virtuos Studio is assisting Konami on MGS3 Remake.

[neutralgamer1992]

Thank you

[DrDoomer]

I'm just looking around like where the heck is MGS4 remaster?

[lukasmain]

Maybe on an upcoming volume 2 possibly?

[ocelot07]

Has this been confirmed for pc and Xbox? With this essentially being a straight up ps1 port (mgs1). How is that going to work for Xbox? I get the pc version as pc had mgs1.

[lukasmain]

Not yet confirmed

[StoneyYoshi]

It's highly likely that the master collection will be on Xbox and PC as well considering they are just porting the HD remasters that also released on the 360. Plus, why would they choose to release a remake for MGS3 on Xbox and PC but not bother with releasing the collection?

[lukasmain]

@StoneYoshi, then why didn't Xbox add the game to the tweet after the show where they posted the games that were coming to Xbox? I think it's playstation exclusive. At the very least, a timed exclusive. They would have mentioned it otherwise.

[Magog]

The only one we really need is MGS4 and yet they pretend it doesn't exist.

[andy85]

Fantastic game but MGS 1 is gonna like straight ass if they don't do anything to it. The twin snakes version would be much better

[Chocoburger]

MGS 1 is fine as it is, even to this day. I beat it just two years ago, on original hardware, and had a great time, as I always do with it. I've beaten it so many times, that it always feel so natural to me, whereas I've attempted to play through Twin Snakes many times, and always give up on it. I tried on Dolphin, I tried on Wii, but I end up greatly disliking everything about it.

And besides, Nintendo likely helped fund Twin Snakes, the dev team Silicon Knights is gone too, so it could be in a perpetual licensing limbo. If we ever see it again (honestly, I hope not, give us a modern MGS 1 faithful remake instead), then it'll be on a Nintendo platform.

[SmortBoie]

All y'all crying OVER MGS4 like it's totally not called Vol 1. Where you think it is? Vol 2 brah.

[siLENTEsKI]

“Brah”?

[CobraKai]

I’m hoping the bugs from the Essential Collection are ironed out. I liked seeing the red blood marks on enemies in the original MGS2.

[Chocoburger]

As big of an MGS fan as I am, I wasn't satisfied with the HD Collection. Missing content, such as skateboarding, Snake vs. Monkey, Guy Savage, and online multiplayer. Then of course the bugs, including no double-tap L1 to center both camera axis. And Colonel Campbell voice actor changing dialog during MGS 2 codec for the PS3 port, even when it was unnecessary, just to have it be identical to the Xbox 360 dialog, was such a stupid decision.

Bluepoint made a lot of mistakes with the ports that so many turned a blind eye to. Its not as good as it should have been. I doubt these new ports will be any better, but I would love to be wrong! The only 'new content' we'll see is a trophy list for MGS 1, probably.

[CobraKai]

The dialogue change is one of those things that irk me when I hear it. I thought the skateboarding woulda been included.

One thing that will NEVER happen but I’m still hoping against hope for, Arsenal Gear crashing into Federal Hall. I always hope to one day see that in real time.

[JokerBoy129]

So are they 4k 60fps or the 720p 30fps collection from PS3?

[Chocoburger]

4K is likely a given, why not? But knowing Konami, I don't have complete faith in them.

MGS 2 ran at 60 FPS even on PS2.
MGS 3 had more complex environments so it ran at 30 FPS on PS2.
PW ran at 20 FPS on PSP to conserve battery life (you can hack it to run at 30 FPS, but naturally your battery drains faster).

All of them ran at 60 FPS on PS3.

https://www.eurogamer.net/d...

[JokerBoy129]

You are correct. In hindsight I do remember Digital Foundry saying the 360 version of MGS Collection ran pretty much locked at 60fps on the current Xbox consoles. I just want a higher fidelity I suppose. Maybe we'll get HDR support or something new. I already own this collection on PS3 and 360 lol. I'd love a reason to rebuy these again.

[sdplisken]

Metal Gear solid 1 should have been the remake!!!!!!!!!!

[StoneyYoshi]

I have a feeling that if the MGS3 remake is successful, they might actually do that. Their plan could be to go in chronological order. Might be the reason why they excluded the 3 from the remakes title and replaced it with the delta symbol. So the next remake we could see is MGS1 named Metal Gear Solid Delta instead and then MGS Delta Sons of liberty and then finish it off with MGS Delta Guns of the Patriots.

This is what Im hoping for at least.

[Chocoburger]

I would have liked to see the MSX MG 1 & 2 remade as well, or the first MGS as you said. If this sells well enough, expect more remakes.

[LordofYogurt]

HD remastered version had censored blood. Disappointed.

[Muigi]

Literally replaying 3 on my vita. It still looks good graphically.

[TrueGamer79]

What does this mean? Does this mean it’s ready for sale at the ps store? I don’t see it.

[ocelot07]

Nope just the product page. Not released until later in the year.

[TrueGamer79]

Thanks my dude!
