Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Fixed? 2.0.0 Impressions - See Pinned Post

[@Heaaaps]

New video live now covering the 2.0.0 update of the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection which applies to both MGS & MGS3 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mau2dXmaocx7e6Msi=G4rnwR09Zp6pUff8 FYI Video information in this video specifically for MGS1 is still relevant as the version for this game specifically has not been update and stays at 1.5.0

[@MatheusPowerGuido105]

now we just need to fix the music reverb, performance problems, native 1080 and who knows 4K on Xbox Series X, PS5 and PC consoles

[@Heaaaps]

There's alot to go I agree too. I mentioned here that the fact it's emulated I see no reason why they can't double the res to 640x480 at the very least. This should not effect the aspect ratio if they do this

[@MatheusPowerGuido105]

​@@Heaaapsand just one question I saw that the 1.5.0 update was released for Steam before for PS4 and PS5 and they say that the Analog input was not corrected and then why was it corrected in the PS4 and PS5 versions and possibly in the Xbox Series X/S

[@Heaaaps]

@MatheusPower105 it's definitely working here on the ps5 as this is my test footage. Honestly not sure about the steam versions. I read on eurogamer that it was an issue during the launch of the 1.5.0 patch but was quickly addressed on all consoles and pc

[@MatheusPowerGuido105]

​@@HeaaapsAnd bro, just an addendum, do you think that the Master Collection Vol.2 with MGS4 could arrive this year or next year? because I wanted to play it a lot and I don't have a PS3 or a solid PC to run it in 4K 60FPS and that I hope Konami takes it off the PS3 so people can play it nowadays

[@Heaaaps]

@@MatheusPowerGuido105 I still have my ps4 and mgs4, i think it would scale beautifully at 4k 60fps. would almost look current gen as Ive seen what emulation has done to it. I really hope it does come out I'm just not fully convinced Konami will do it justice but I hope I'm wrong. its literally in limbo and I think it would sell really well considering it cannot be gotten outside of ps3 hardware. I'm hoping too some new fans will pick up on the series due to this collection and the upcoming mgs3 remake

[@crystalwater505]

Thanks. I was curious about the update. I suppose Duckstation is the way to go still for playing the first MGS game.

[@Heaaaps]

@crystalwater505 for now yes however I do hope a further update is coming

[@RegalPixelKing]

My issues with MG1 are two things: 1) No native non-stretched widescreen support. This should be super easy and should have been added in on day 1. 2) No internal resolution options to speak of. This should have been even easier to implement because they don't need to worry about a stretched UI or Coms like they would need to when it comes to changing the aspect ratio. As of right now on DuckStation I can get both of those things.

[@Heaaaps]

I'd agree that performance, optimization, and configuration like duckstation should be the target for Konami. They have mentioned a resolution change in an upcoming patch let's see what happens

[@Steadysphere]

To be honest, I'd still be very hesitant to spend any money on this collection and support such lazy practices and rushing out this collection. Glad to hear you're enjoying it though mate.

[@Heaaaps]

There's more work to be done as I said. Mgs1 was the worst culprit at launch but vastly improved now. It would need to be gotten on the cheap. There's going to be a resolution boost to mgs2 and 3 so I'm covering that when it happens

[@TS-qr3rk]

Glad this game is getting continued attention

[@Heaaaps]

4k update coming soon too 👌

[@volkovedits]

@@Heaaaps Did they say when?

[@Heaaaps]

@volkovedits hi there no offical date yet but confirmed on Konamis twitter. Il update with a new video once it releases

[@josephtaylor9081]

So the video quality has been improved quite a bit? That was a big issue for many players when the collection first launched.

[@Heaaaps]

@josephtaylor9081 yes it has but there's another update coming (4k update) supposedly in the future, Konami mentioned thisnanfew weeks back bil monitor it but for now yes this is muchnimprpv3d over the original release

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

I only played 3 when this released and at the time I really didn't notice anything really new but I guess with this update I need to go back and check out the rest of the collection

[@Heaaaps]

I specifically covered mgs1 as this is the one primarily that was featureless at launch. Il do the others soon in another vid pal

[@VEN0VA]

Still lacking. I appreciate it's not a remake and just an emulation, but if you're going to release it in 2023 under "Master Collection", why not make it the definitive way to play by enhancing graphics and performance.

[@Heaaaps]

I agree with the sentiment there's still a lot of work to do. I have read yesterday evening that 4k upgrades are on the cards for all titles. This was through an official Konami tweet

[@MegaSolidninja]

I'm personally just happy to finally play it on PC. I'm not obsessed with every little detail.

Do you think switch will get a 60fps update for mg2 and mg3? The stitch can do it.

[@Heaaaps]

I do believe it's technically possible. But nit sure if Konami will follow through on it. They are working on a 4k resolution for high end consoles and pc but doubt that will be added to the switch version

Such a classic title I'm happy to hear they added trophies I remember playing ports of Resident Evil 1/2/3 back on the PS3 wishing they at least added a few interesting trophies to go for.❄️🐍🎮🍀

[@Heaaaps]

I just think not enough features at launch. A big improvement over the initial release lad

[@Heaaaps]

Great point. I'm going to try that as I plan on streaming first game again soon

[@Champion2D]

Good to know. I held off from buying this but I'm glad the update has made worthwhile improvements. I'll also remember to get the American pack.

[@Heaaaps]

It's miles ahead of the initial release in November as far as feature sets go. Maddening decisions like not have analogue too boggled my mind

[@yan-rayiller-may8443]

It's actually not a real analog. They just mapped the d-pad onto the control stick. The original had an option for full 360 smooth movement. It's not really noticeable until you start needing to do everything perfect on the VR stuff.

[@Heaaaps]

Good info to share. More work to do so! It did feel smooth in main campaign anyway

[@asphyxiafeeling]

Wow, that's disappointing to hear. I'm thinking about buying this, partially to replay the VR Missions!

[@yan-rayiller-may8443]

@@asphyxiafeeling It's definitely worth it, I'm still having fun with the VR missions.

[@Ziomeq57]

Is there an option in Switch version to stretch to fullscreen in MGS 1 ? On PS5 there is such option, was just wondering if they also implemented it on Switch as playing with borders is a deal breaker for me.

[@Heaaaps]

No 100% sure but I cam find out. Let me get back to you not at home at moment

[@ThumbBros_RunAndPun]

I’m a huge MGS1 fan. I remember there being a collection for the PS3, that had good reviews, but I don’t have a PS3 lol. And of course, that collection never appeared on the PS4 digital store (from what I know) It’s unfortunate that this collection was released the way it was, which is why I didn’t wanna get it on full price. It seems Steam version is way better then switch version, which is disappointing. Great 👍 mention of having analog controls, cause back in the day, analog controls worked perfectly for the PS1 This video was very informative, but I think I’m still gonna wait a bit longer and get on discount as well. Thanks for the video, Heaaaps!

[@Heaaaps]

There's another update coming that adds 4k. Konami have tweeted this since. Yes good idea to wait a bit longer! Thanks for watching and great feedback 🙌

[@Shaved_Ape]

Unless they gave us a 4K update for this - which is almost defnitely not going to happen - they've pretty much fixed MGS1. The best settings to use are smoothing off, pixel perfect, 4:3 aspect ratio and filter off. You can choose a wallpaper if you want but its best to turn it off if you have an OLED panel for obvious reasons. Smoothing makes the game look fugly and blurry whilst the CRT filter is just that - a filter and it doesnt replicate the feel of a CRT set properly. Plus it darkens the image so its pointless to use.

[@Heaaaps]

Konami confirmed on Twitter / x that 4k is coming

[@Shaved_Ape]

@Heaaaps I think that's just going to be for MGS2 and 3. Also, it's still not really a confirmation as they said they're looking into 4K upscaling rather than a true 4K resolution update. I'd obviously be over the moon if it ends up being a true 4K patch, but I don't trust Konami to do the right thing.

[@Heaaaps]

@Shaved_Ape I can respect that Konami needed to do better especially when the collection first launched. I'm keeping a close eye on what happens next and will be first to cover it 👌

I actually prefer using the D-Pad here mate 😂 but cool they added the support which as you say was a strange emission in the first place 🤷‍♂️ also yes double resolution would be grand 👌 I only bought the first game which included the 2 NES games & was happy enough (especially we the trophy support 🙌) Glad they gave that option at least as I’ve already access to 2 & 3 via the previous HD collection so not fussed about re purchasing them tbh

[@MikeTheGreek]

Konami released Part 2 of gameplay overview of MGS Delta and the producer of it Okamura talked a bit about Master Collection that on launch it had tremendous negative feedback and they're still continue to improve it and address all those issues. Now i don't know if they still rolling patches but 1.5 is the latest one over 2 months ago. Will they finally fix it entirely by the time Delta releases? Btw it should be released this year in order to coincide with 2004 OG release since it's 20 years ago. I haven't bought the Collection yet so I'll wait. I do like the idea having all the OG MGS games in one package with improved visuals and modernized controls but calling it Master Collection and having issues is blasphemy.

[@Heaaaps]

I've been trying to keep an eye out for any further updates. They have been pretty quite recently but there has been messages from konami direct to say 4k update is coming

[@phanindravaibhav3319]

In it's current state, is there a major difference between the PC and PS5 port of the collection? As a newcomer to the series, I'm interested in getting the ps5 collection as it's currently on sale. But there's also the worry of any major control/graphical issues that might ruin my first playthrough.

[@Heaaaps]

I've explained the current state of the console versionn already in this video. Pc version is the same but allows modding of mgs2 and mgs3 so this is an advantage

I think the success og Remake of metal gear solid 3 will decide for Konami if future remakes are worth progress aka mgs1 remake! Thanks for watching 👍

[@RazzeeTV]

Please bring the episodes 2 and 3! I already have the Legacy Collection, but also think that it is great to have trophies. Also, MGS1 was not on disc with the PS3 version, neither had MG/MG2 trophies. The best edition of this game would be the PS4 disc, since it includes a PS5 upgrade for free. However, it was released only in Europe. ;(

[@Heaaaps]

I'm hoping for mgs4 to return to consoles beyond ps3. Think the game would scale beautifully

[@joejoe2658]

Hello mate. As I mentioned on Twitter, I've had my eye on this for a little while. I played the original game back in the day while I was at University but didn't really play any of the others so this is a great reason for me to pick it up. What would you say is the main difference between playing at 50 Hz and 60 Hz?

Way smoother at 60hzs m8. Essentially 60fps vs 50fps. Its a noticeably difference in how snake moves around the game world and carries out actions
