Yeah I was thinking the same after watching it but just the news of the actual game being rereleased was enough for me to share itlol "in-game footage"
An HD remaster of Metal Gear AC!D, with microtransactions for premium card packs. You know they're considering it.Like many commenters elsewhere, I have zero faith Konami will do this justice. I'll still be interested but for now I'm more keen to see what the classics collections are like (but I have similar doubts there too) - volume one contains MG, MG2, MGS, MGS 2 and MGS 3, so the implied volume 2 would have Peace Walker and... What? MGS 4? The Twin Snakes? Maybe Revengeance or a current gen upscale of MGS V?
I love this franchise! always have from the beginning the nostalgia will be Awesome but on a PS5 this time... just what I need to make use of the console again 👍
This is a remake of the 2004 release.. others will follow
That's pretty optimistic, I'm imagining a "Hello, Smithers, you're quite good at turning me on"-style hatchet job or just cutting bits out without adding anything back.Just reusing all the voice lines from MGS3 (which is what I was thinking was happening with the odd way Konami announced the voice cast) is perfect. It completely retains Kojima's artistic vision for the story (barring any RE4 VR arbitrary censorship), allows the game to be graphically updated and extremely minimizes Konami's ability to ruin everything.
As for Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, I should note that while it is the superb BluePoint version, Konami had us playing on a Nintendo Switch. It ran okay, but it was clear to both me and the person sitting next to me that there was significant slowdown during some scenes in MGS 2 and MGS 3 on the Switch.
Maybe it's the original collection that will be at 720p? Well on newgen at least.I'm not sure why they capped it @720 p on the Switch but hopefully the other versions don't run @ 720p
The remake of MGS 3, MGS ∆, is different to the classic collection vol. 1 which is the thing that runs at 720p on Switch. I have heard that all versions run at 720p (Gaben help them if that also applies to the PC version) but the real issue is that the Switch version of MGS 2 either doesn't maintain 60fps or is capped at 30fps - I had heard it's the latter but never mind - when the PS2 version was a 60fps game.Maybe it's the original collection that will be at 720p? Well on newgen at least.
I expect/hope the remake of 3 to be a current graphics standard at least.
Trailer from the latest Xbox show (someone really should edit out the "PS5" from the thread title)
Yet it's not exclusive to them, though I have to wonder if it was their own doing or yet another case of old code being foisted onto a junior dev team with the direction to make it work on modern systems and maybe pretty it up if possible.I'm all for digital preservation and a direct port of the old games with different button prompts for different platforms would've been fine by me, but for them to look worse and even run worse (MGS 2 at 30fps on Switch when the PS2 ran it at 60) is... Well, yeah, it's peak Konami.
