The front-end menus are a highlight, with neatly laid out extra content for each game and the rare luxury of choice between multiple versions of MGS1. One more straightforwardly positive change I noticed is that the delay on codec dialogue in MGS2 has been reduced compared to the 2011 HD Collection. It's a basic emulated effort for the PS1 Metal Gear Solid, while MGS2 and 3 are based on the aging HD Collection with 720p fixed in place. DF Retro: Metal Gear Solid 2 - A Kojima Masterpiece Here is John's look at Metal Gear Solid 2 from 2017.

Along with updated Trophy lists for Sons of Liberty and Snake Eater, the Master Collection is the best way to experience all three masterpieces at once since the PS3 days.

In my opinion, when it comes to releases of old games the score should reflect the value of collection rather than the games itself; does it do enough to polish and modernise the games? Their 20-minute cutscenes are a welcome invitation; their stealth gameplay and Big Boss rank attempts a fun challenge.Like if they were to do a remake collection of uncharted 1-3 would be separated like mgs and ff pixel remaster. Those who purchase Volume 1 will also have access to a variety of bonus content including the two regional versions of Metal Gear, the original version of Snake's Revenge, the first and second Digital Graphic Novels in video form, and a digital soundtrack. 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. In essence, both of these games are the same as HD Collection versions released in 2011 on Xbox 360 and PS3 of course, and there's no attempt to disguise the fact either.

Little weird about MG and the other pre mgs titles, but emulation being all that it is, understandable. If vol 2 can include MGS4 remastered a bit, Peace Walker, Metal Gear Rising, Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain and maybe Portable Ops as well I'll be really pleased.Sadly, tweaking the resolution like this causes the HUD overlay to break, alongside post-effects like blur. I think awarding this collection the same score as Spiderman 2 is verging on the ridiculous, but I learnt a long time ago to ignore the scores on Push. There aren't any options to scale the image or CRT filters, for example, though Konami has promised more video options in a future update.
