We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
That would be great. Unfortunately it's only Konami Collector's Series: Castlevania & Contra coming up at this point.
And yep, MGS are just ports.
Sadly those were never made for the pc.
This mostlikely would be just the 1998 PC port and the 2002 PC port just made digitally.
Man, I really hope these are solid, modern feeling ports. I'd love to have the MGS series on Steam, could replay it easily whenever. I wouldn't actually call myself a huge MGS fan, but there's something really cozy about playing/replaying 1, 2 and 3 one after the other.
I played it on my Pentium 4 with minimal ram with a gamepad just fine back in 2002 I had no problems with the port.
This. This is the crime right here.
If I can't eat a snake or treefrog, I'm not interested.
Look offc it could be better it was a minimal port, but it work fine on winXP at the time.
Sure a real release 60+ fps ultra wide etc etc etc off course that would be better.
But its not like unplayable.
It was really bad to unplayable for a wide range of setups. In fact, it was so bad that it's still considered by many to be the worst console conversion/port of all time. A quick google search will confirm this.
I think Saints Row 2 is probably worse.
But this is not the thread to argue how bad something is :P.
Lets celebrate the fact that its coming at all :D
Wouldn't be too thrilled if they were the old ports. I'd rather use Xbox BC on the HD collection or emulation.
I mean yeah, I'll buy it regardless, lol. I just kinda hope they're new ports or fixed/updated.
It's timeless for you and I. But playing a game from 1998 that is essential to understand the rest of the franchise, that is available at 1080p 60 on multiple platforms, when the first is not, is a barrier for entry. Like it or not. There's a lot of gamers who will not start the MGS franchise because of that or will more egregiously, Not play MGS1 at all and skip to 2.
Even at that, I remaster/remake along the lines of MW1-2 remastered would be perfect.
The campaign could be the same on all /most levels, but the graphical quality upgrades of modern titles.
Same score and VA, same game, next gen graphics. I'd play the fuck out of it, and if it didn't live up to expectation somehow, the original still exists....
Also, Twin Snakes gets more hate than it deserves. It was a pretty solid remake/retelling. Subjectivity of the changes aside. Arguably more interesting to see than what I'm asking for which is just the same game I've played dozens of times with upgraded graphics.
Anyone familiar with how the original PC version of MGS2 handled the pressure-sensitive controls for guns/leaning/pullups? From doing some Googling it seems like they didn't bother coming up with a workaround and you just had to try and play without it.
For the folks who have never seen them before:
Just took these photo's myself needed to look for my copies first.
Sadly lost the big box for MGS1 since 1998 but at least I have the cd.

It didn't. The MGS2 V's Fix (a mod for the PC version) just adds a cancel button for aiming.
Well for a game that you can't buy digital for over 18 years now and is around $250 on ebay.
Personally think its a big deal
To be fair having a 80 gig or 120 gig hd in 2002 was not that uncommon.
My P4 that was a pre-build from a store from Dec 2001 had a 120 gig drive in it and it was a $1000 machine not like crazy expensive.
It'll be probably the old ports re-released with a patch that GOG worked on. That's their entire shtick, to release patches to old games so that they can work on modern PCs and fixing old bugs
With the MGS HD collection existing these wouldn't be the definitive way to play these games. Just putting the old ass barebones port on modern stores.
Which is fine, maybe with the renewed attention the community will make these ports the definitive way to play these games. We just have to wait and see.
I would love nothing more but I assume that porting PS3 games to the PC is way more work then re-releasing old PC ports that already exist.
You never know, Konami might be releasing their own digital storefront service to sell it
Why would you suggest such a terrible thing.
DON'T GIVE THEM ANY IDEAS :P
Idk i played it on pc and it was fine?
I just remember that keyboard controls were kinda weird so i played it with a controller.
Absolutely great news, i hope Konami learns that MGS is a very well liked series and quite profitable.
If you have an ATI card back then, there were bugs. Heck if you got a GeForce back then and updated the drivers to the ones that support DX9, you'll have missing codec faces unless you dial the graphics quality down one notch. Also the PC version was based off the Xbox port which was already terrible in itself.
Because porting the HD Collection to PC would cost a lot more versus just patching the old PC ports.
Early 2000s Japanese PC ports were in another league of terribleness.
