Release it again properly on disc or a two disc set with the second volume which you should do correctly this time. That also doesn't mean bundling the old disc release with volume 2 either. Proper release with all the patched data on disc and no region locked versions of MGS1 only available via download.

Cacabunga322d ago

I like their spirit tbh.. looks like they want to get closer to the fans, which is nice..
a big patch to begin with and i would buy it.

Or how about MGS: Rising remaster/remake/sequel… anyone?

just_looken321d ago (Edited 321d ago )

If only they listed to kojima let him use the fox engine to enhance the games bring them up to new consoles.

Right now performance is nothing compared to no keyboard/mouse support the digital extras need internet as they are online pdf's and the game itself has has stuff taken out nothing story just over time they lost the right to non story related Easter eggs material.

Oh also lets not forget mgs2 is on pc via gog has mouse/keyboard support with all content then you got mgs1 via duckstation running awesome on pc.

I mean dam only thing better was the mgs4 hd map upgrade

Edit

Oh i forgot the games do not even have widescreen support heck not even a proper graphics settings menu.

Jingsing321d ago

I'm actually starting to question if it is even worth it for Konami to do a volume 2. I know they are desperate these days but my impression is the first collection didn't sell well and got a bruising. Second volume would require more work and as with all these volume releases the second and third always sell less.

just_looken321d ago

@jin

Good point they hate doing real work for video games and its been so long wonder if they kept the source material.

Remember silent hill they tossed the collection to there singstar dev team with no source code no support and the notes were still in japanese.

So far they just copied/pasted kojima and his teams work for a real remake of the older titles heck mgs4 that would be years of work.

Yi-Long322d ago (Edited 322d ago )

Everything on disc and Japanese audio plus English subs would be nice. It's nice that they apologize and state an intent to do better, but honestly this kind of quality-control should have been done in-house during the decision-making process, before release.

outsider1624322d ago

Get back to the drawing board and either remaster properly or just remake it it.

ANIALATOR136322d ago

Remaster every game yourself. Don't just port the Bluepoint versions of MGS2/3. Because even those weren't 100% perfect. They were still missing some effects in cutscenes for example. Just take absolute care with them and take your time to make sure you release something that pays reverence.

Razzee322d ago

Honestly, what's the point of a PS5 physical disc, while restricting the PS4 edition only to Europe?

Since the PS4 ver. upgrades for free to the PS5 ver, only PS4 copies should be made available.

Why Portability Still Matters for Nintendo Switch 2—and What We’re Hoping to See

Nintendo Switch 2 upgrades portability with a bigger screen, 1080p handheld play, and Wi-Fi 6. Here's why it still matters in 2025.

As someone who travels for work I still care about portable systems.

I have found using remote play in a hotel room is an excellent experience in a major city as I've got my console hard wired to a gigabit connection at home however it's not perfect if power trips the console tends to go to the repair section and can't be booted remotely so it's a annoying call to family to power it on for me.

A hotel out of town or regionally though that can cause havok for remote play as I'm always on 5g using it hotel wifi is never good enough for a solid remote play session.

But leaving a stable location and getting onto a plane or train and there's little to no chance of a good experience with remote play thats where something like the switch 2 will really shine for me personally long haul flights are exhausting and one of my most hated things the switch has been invaluable for me and I'll absolutely be upgrading

Goodguy013d ago

Nintendo has always done it the best, handheld is in their genes. I do wish their dock could be like an egpu though and it make it much more powerful, it's a bit harder for me to play portable now for some odd reason, love just sitting on the couch with a big screen and controller. And ofc always great to have the portable option and for me it's best for smaller games.

jznrpg3d ago

I was hoping for a little more than 540p upscaled

UltimateOwnage3d ago

IMO, 540P upscaled in portable mode to a 1080P screen using DLSS on the tensor cores will likely extend battery life using a lower TDP and provide much better anti-aliasing and similar clarity compared to native 1080P with med/low AA at a higher TDP. It’s just a better way to use a mobile chipset. That’s not a flaw or weakness, it’s a key benefit for the portable design of the platform.

repsahj2d ago

Lol, even the impressive upscaling feature of Switch 2 can now spin to a negative one.

jznrpg2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Switch 1 was hitting 720p and above that with no upscale, so why can’t they have a higher res and upscale it more

repsahj2d ago

@jznrpg
Because of that even the current gen games will now run on switch 2 that looked as good and with decent framerate as the current gen consoles.

Do you watch Nintendo's hands on preview for switch 2? LOL.

badz1492d ago

because aside from Nintendo's own games which have their dedicated fanbase, portability is the only other thing it has going for it. Nintendo will be eliminated faster than xbox if they ever decide to do a dedicated home console again. going the hybrid way is the only way left for them and they are lucky they dominated the portable market all those years ago. imagine the power of the Switch 2 as a console this day and age with the same price as PS5. they will be the laughing stock of the market.

I do appreciate the changes to the levelling system in the remaster which lessens the hassle of min/max with regards to effects class skills have on attributes(missed these in Skyrim).

The level scaling is still a problem though as you end up with crappy uniques if you find them low level. They did fix this with regards to items from one of the DLCs but it should be across the board.

anast3d ago

That's just the tip of the iceberg.

Michiel19893d ago

funny that you say that. That would make you the Titanic since you're having a crashout over this game performing well.

anast3d ago

strange comment...Maybe it's the way you write or your intentions or something, but most of the time I don't understand your comments

attilayavuzer3d ago

It's not healthy to be this upset at people having fun.

peppeaccardo3d ago

old granny got a new make up .. wow !

arissaseah512d ago

The changes are good as they did some enhancements. I like it.
