Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 Performance Review (Original vs. PS5 & Xbox Series X|S

[Gamernyc78]

TL-DR:

- It's shit.
- MGS1 runs worse than original game on native PS1 hardware
- No emulation enhancement, no higher resolution, not even the texture wobbling gets fixed
- MGS2 and 3 suffer from gamma blowout issue, they look overly bright
- MGS2/3 have WORSE texture filtering than PS2 / HD Collection
- MGS2/3 run at 720p/60 FPS
- MGS2/3 have some issues like skipping sound cues, subtitles being out of sync and appearing misaligned in some places.
- The only redeeming value of this package is the extra collector shit it includes, otherwise the *games* are worse conversions than other versions.
+ At least the load times are fast.


Example of really low texture filtering versus decade old 360 version (texture filtering is the same across PS5/SX/SS)

I'm holding out for a possible 4K patch, till they release that I'm waiting for a sale. I won't pay full price for 720p in 2023

Yeah, I should probably do the same.

I'm also waiting on RDR PS5 for a sale. I might have a list if this keeps happening.

All they had to do was add 4k and they would have gotten a ton of good press. This was a very easy win for Monami but they somehow dropped the ball.

MGS rising is really popular now thanks to memes, yet they refuse to capitalise on this.

Why I REALLY REALLY want Sony to buy all the IP's.

It's something Sony can do... they have the muscle and contacts.

Yet the MGS Delta gameplay reveal was in an Xbox event....how disrespectful.

I do miss thr Ps2 days when all these Japanese third parties were exclusive to Sony, it feels wrong to see MGS on an Xbox console. MGS3 had an Ape Escape Minigame even, to me its a SONY game.

 

[Bryank75]

I'm actually watching this, right now.

Mutahar going in on Konami and how bad this collection is...

Oh, I'm definitely holding off now that I know the whole situation! Thanks though

It's not just about higher resolution. AF is broken as well. This port seems to carry many issues from the original remaster.

As Mutahar says in his video, it's amazing that amateurs making emulators and mods on PC can make better versions of the games...

No, this trash is worse than the GTA trilogy remaster. Better to just emulate it

But.... the trophies.

I've played them so many times on OG release but I would love to have the trophies to show them complete.

 

[KiryuRealty]

Use the wishlist feature on the PS Store and it’ll notify you when the games go on sale.

 

[ForzaJuve]

I just can't believe how incompetent Konami is when handling this franchise. I wish Sony bought the IPs, there is gold there: SH, MGS, Contra, Suikoden, Castlevania.

And that gold keeps Konami’s gambling machines selling well, at high profit margins, which is why they won’t sell them.
