Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 - PS5

Product Information

Curiously, there were still some aesthetic bugs from the HD Collection that hadn’t been fixed in the Master Collection during my playthrough, though a planned launch patch may again fix that. Here’s hoping it also fixes random freezing on PS5 while playing Metal Gear Solid 2, as I encountered three different instances where the game seized up for about 5 seconds before returning to normal. That really just shouldn’t be happening for a port of a 6th gen game to 9th gen hardware, no matter how you slice it.

The biggest question for Metal Gear fans, of course, is what exactly is included in this collection. Here’s a bullet-pointed rundown: On top of that, the collection includes the Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2 digital graphic novels - fully-voiced digital comics depicting the events of the first two Metal Gear Solid games.The following issues were listed by Konami as being "under investigation", with the company noting that: “We will continue to provide regular updates on future improvements and fixes as further details are finalized." am rolls on, the door goes and my partner walks in with friends and kebabs in tow, (remember, this was before mobiles were absolutely everywhere), and said where you 2 been all night!!!

While Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, and Metal Gear: Snake's Revenge released first, some of them are no longer considered canon while others are incredibly dated. Consider playing them after you've understood the plot of the first three games.According to a rumour that began of 4Chan, so take that as you will, Sony and Konami have reached a deal to bring the Metal Gear Solid collection to PlayStation 5 in September 2021. Fixed an issue where continually holding down certain buttons sometimes resulted in errors occuring (PlayStation 4) Said was I coming out I said nope, playing new game, he sat down on the floor in front of me to have a look and I kid you not, he was transfixed. Arnna Hmm.. nothing done to improve them? Well, the HD Collection never included MGS1. The two NES titles (MG1 & Snakes Revenge) were never re-released before. The MSX versions of MG1 & 2 previously were only accessible in MGS3 (leading to people unaware of this when buying the original collection) and are now accessible on their own. MGS1 Integral which had bonus features but was only in Japan is now playable. Visual and technical Bugs that were in the HD Collection have been fixed. Trophies were added to MG1, 2, and MGS. New trophies were added to MGS2 & 3. You can customize your save file in MGS1 Integral for the Mantis section. New disc swap animation and option to switch between different regions is expected. Oh, you can actually pause cutscenes now (albeit, there's a delay but a new feature nonetheless).

Despite year one generally being slow for any new console, there still seems to be quite a lot of news being released daily. Lastly, according to the Switch version announcement video, strategy guides for each game will be included too. Given the power Konami has access to in the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and top-of-the-range PCs, this is somewhat of a disappointment. So much more could have been done — even just on the purely resolution and frame rate end — to make these three classics shine once more. They still do as the unique direction of Hideo Kojima is clear to see, but it's smeared somewhat by PS1 pixels and dated PS3 visuals. Given the fact Konami has put Vol. 1 on the end of its Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection, it seems incredibly likely there'll be a Vol. 2 in the future. However, no official confirmation has been shared at the time of writing. There are rumours, though, which point to a second collection containing Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (presumably with Ground Zeroes bundled in), and Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker. I guess it's petty, but everyone is still credited in each game, so...idk doesn't seem like too big a deal. It is pretty petty, but also...it's so petty that I both don't really care, and think it's kinda funny they'd do this little thing just to slight Kojima.

Latest Reviews

This collection has fixed many issues present in the HD Collection versions, so it's easily the best modern way to play these titles (PS2 versions win out slightly when it comes to a few bonus features, but in terms of the core titles, they're at their best here.
