Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 - PS5

Product Information

As such, many of the quirks of the original PS1 game are preserved: a base resolution of 320x240, and PS1's signature affine texture warping that causes texture maps to 'wobble' as you move the camera. I played MGS1 again a few years ago and actually felt like it held up extremely well to play personally. It honestly feels like a massive kick in the nuts that no effort was made to update the controls OR up the frame rate to 60+.

The three main Metal Gear Solid games have their own launchers, versions of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake are packaged into one, and then there's even more bonus content housed in a fifth, completely separate application. Nowadays, he can be found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. For starters, it probably no longer even exists so that would mean adding a considerable amount of new code. Here again we have a fixed 720p rendering of both games with no settings menu, and therefore no way to adjust basic video settings like AA, rendering resolution, aspect ratios or output resolution. for mgs 1, you can get a FAR better experience simply running the game in an emulator — widscreen, better framerate and resolution included.Especially in the medium of video games where the standards and expectations are raised with every generation, because I'm certain newcomers will be put off from the archaic control scheme and lack of camera control and be left wondering how it received the same score as Spider-Man 2 for example. The only downside perhaps is that the Master Collection doesn't tie everything together with a single front-end. On the other hand, Nintendo Switch leaves all these edges entirely raw without any AA whatsoever, creating heavy visual noise and flickering, especially in motion.

This 30fps cap on Switch has a domino effect on the game's motion blur effect, too, causing more notable banding behind camera movement. 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.Love how the two first Metal Gear games barely get a mention despite the fact Metal Gear 2 is considered one of the best games of all time. The Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection bundles together three of the greatest games ever made, but does so in a convoluted manner. Oddly enough, there are flashes of uncapped 60fps gameplay in MGS2 on Switch - in opening lockers or doors - despite the 30fps cap being fixed 99 per cent of the time. Which is what the release was originally intended to be, as a result they took the platinum trophy away from the ps5 version of lost legacy. The trip down memory lane is a reminder of why the three titles are a lock in any top 50 list of the greatest games ever made, but the digital packaging that brings them back can leave much to be desired.
