I'm a trophy hunter, and also MGS will always be my favorite game franchise of all time. So the fact that ALL of the games are gonna have trophies. MG1 and MG2SS included is a massive deal for me.

I just hope when they figure and make MGS4 in a collection, they include the digital encyclopedia that came with MGS4

Few more days guys. Few more days. Thank you for not putting down the game. I will definitely give you like for it. Thank you for not getting misinformation out there. Appreciate you bud

So stoked for this release, finally MGS fans are getting some love. I’m looking forward to playing this and letting my little brother watch me play through them, cutscenes and all, so he can hopefully see why this is my favorite franchise. Perfect video by the way, much appreciated for explaining so thoroughly. I didn’t know this all came with volume 1, I can’t wait for volume 2. Here’s hoping Guns of the Patriots comes along, it would be great to play that on current gen.

The ability to pause during cutscenes was recently confirmed. We can add that to the long list of reasons why this collection is worth it.

This video aged like fine milk.

Sounds like a fanboy trying to apologize for lazy port...

I cannot believe there is so much content coming with this collection. I am so ready to dive into all of it! Thank you for all of the useful information, my friend :)

I think one of the most misunderstood parts of this collection is that "it only has 1, 2, and 3". I think it's more than acceptable because it's a lot more thorough with earlier titles like the NES games and the different versions and expansions of MGS1. It makes so much sense if they're going to put the Vol. 1 cutoff at MGS3! There's a lot of content to play and [the rest of this is speculation] it allows them more time with MGS4.

Can’t wait for master collection 2 now!

I like that this collection has Japanese dub for Metal Gear Solid 1 to 3. I will be playing again with Japanese dub for sure even though David Hayter is a legend. Pre ordered for soundtrack. It says a lot when I am more interested in playing Metal Gear again than the new Spider Man game. I am getting old now.

I hope at some point Konami does this for Silent Hill. The "Volume 1" would have the 4 Team Silent games and maybe a remastered translated port of Play Novel Silent Hill. The next one can have the other games. That would be pretty nice. I hope the best for these MGS bundles.

9:55 ...So you wanna correct this "it'll run at 1080p" thing now?

Looking forward to playing all of these games officially on PC. I've only had Metal Gear (MSX2), MGS1 and 2 on PC from their release on GOG and have always wondered why they disappeared. Good to know the reason why. I also hope Konami ports MGS4 for the Master Collection Vol. 2!!!

Holy shit, playing these legendary games with Japanese VO is a dream come true😢

This video aged bad really quickly if you’re on steam

I'm very interested to see if they'll touch MGS4 in the potential vol. 2 collection.

i imagine vol 2 is gonna be the psp games + mgs4, fingers crossed

Man I’m glad I have the whole series on my PS3

Well, this video aged like milk

I’m hoping we get the missing extras like Snake skateboard. I also need a pause button for cutscenes! Alternate controls like R2 for shoot

There needs to be an ability to get the scripts and master books onto your phone and tablet. Nobody is going to sit in front of their TV and read 1,000 pages.

Do we know anything about how it plays without pressure sensitive buttons? I may have missed it if it was here

I've never played a metal gear game but have always wanted to start at MGS1, hope it'll be good!

15:58 what is the name of this version of The Front Line MG2?

Will the add the nightmare dream mode back in Snake Eater 3? It did not appear in the PS3 HD version of the game.

Glad you clarified everything, heard some people thought all the games ran at 30 fps for some reason

I'm dying to play my games again but on ps5... this video just made me even more excited especially since it cleared up alot of misconceptions surrounding the Collection. Just 5 days to go❗❗❗❗

What about the content for MGS2 Substance and MGS3 Subsistence? Wouldn't it be cut content if its not part of the collection? Also what about MGS3 Online mode MGO1? Removed I bet

Thank you for the hard work doing this to letting us know all the stuff we are getting. In retrospective, I would have liked to hear aspects to improve as well. On the other hand, I did noy buy the: Konami will try the best they can to bring keyboard support...

I wouldn’t really count the digital graphic novels as games, if it’s like the Legacy Collection on PS3 they’ll just be video files to watch

Let me recommend this collection even though I haven't played it, tested it, and let me justify with reports and rumours. Jesus dude I love this franchise but how can you recommend something you literally haven't touched.

Where is the caution theme at 18:31 ?

Tell me, did they add 3DS MGS3 features? Such as crouch walk?

This is going to be a day 1 buy for me, and to be honest I'll likely be getting it on both my PC and Switch. As small of a nit-pick as it is, I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope they fix the out-of-sync intro to Snake Eater that was featured in the HD Collection. In the original release of MGS3, the music was timed perfectly to the visuals, but in the HD collection the music starts during the "Konami presents" part and throws the entire intro out-of-sync. It was never patched/fixed. One thing I am a bit peeved about is if you purchased the Nvidia Shield TV ports of the HD versions of MGS2 and MGS3, the games will no longer work, as they will always fail the "license check" now that Konami has pulled them from all store-fronts. Rather than let people who purchased the games play them without having to validate the license every time, Konami just straight up tells people to request refunds. The Shield TV ports actually ran fantastic and I'm genuinely bummed out that they're lost forever now.

came here from twitter! you smashed it on this video pal, stoked for the master collection as i played these titles prior using the emulator RPCS3, was a cool alternative but required a lot of tinkering to get running to near perfection, but heres hoping that mgs 4 comes to pc!

Wait the msx games are on the collection? I didn't see them in the description.

It's 7 games. Even the Komani's official title lineup doesn't say Vol. 1 consists of "12 games in total"

So we can buy and download them separately?

But @MGSMGN, what is the point when Twin Snakes is not present on the collection? I need to 720 noscope Sniper Wolf in HD!

to make it even more easy to understand what MGS Integral version is, just think about it being the substance/subsistance version of MGS1 but for japan btw I see kinda "pointless" the playbook and master books if you cant access them WHILE playing said game... or unless you get a code or something to also download it on pc

19:00 I know it's not going to be available but man I would love to have these screenplay and especially the guide books in a high resolution pdf file or something.

Can't wait to play all of these again. I think at this point it's pretty redundant to say, but I really hope they find a way to give us Twin Snakes in another Volume. I think the game is " lost " because Silicon Knights doesn't exist anymore, but the game was my first experience with MGS1 ( I started the series with MGS2 ) and it holds a special place in my heart. Hope it comes back. All in all, this is a real love letter to us fans, and I can't WAIT for Vol. 2 to free MGS4 from the PS3 Abyss. Also I hope they will bring back Ghost Babel and the Acids as well. And that they will NOT SKIP Portable Ops ! We need EVERYTHING ! Oh and also, great video mate ! :D

If the companies that owned the footage don't exist anymore, then why isn't the footage just fair game now? Who's gonna try and sue Konami if they were to use the footage?

How come we don’t get mgs3 subsistence ?

Vol 2 better include MGS4. I have the feeling that it won't happen

I don't agree. "12 games" (they're 5 if you don't count regional versions and extra content) released on the 6th generation (and even older) and some PDFs and soundtracks aren't worth full price. 39.99 would be good value.

Question. Do we have any Intel about trophies in PSN?

idk if konami gonna patch this, they said they would patch stuff but idk, but mgs2 and 3 are playing on 720p atm

Is it for certain that Integral won't have English subtitles and text implemented? Seems a bit weird to add it but not translate the stuff.

Do we know if the digital graphic novels are the actual games or are they just recorded videos?

It's good to see they are leaving it original for nostalgic sake however they should have graphically remade the first one with updated looks and second if these are not built from the ground up but pulled from another release i don't see why they needed or chose to include new historical references

I do want to know how about the face button sensitivity thing on MGS2 in particular. I know it's also in MGS3, but not as necessary as it is in MGS2 VR missions section. For the most part you can play the game fine, but there are a couple missions in the VR section that are sort of impossible to get first place without the face buttons sensitivity ability. I guess just would like to know anything about that.

Hello! I have a question about background music in your video, there's so much cool arrangements for mgs themes, ocelot confrontation, I love it so much, but I can't find it, can you please help me with that?

What I'm wondering is if it's still possible MGS1 could get a patch or update just for a "pixel-remaster" like the old Final Fantasy games, I love how FF7 looks super clean

Didn't know about bgm for the books.

Dreading the dogtag and vr mission grind on MGS2 but imma do it again for the achievements

One thing that feels like a huge oversight, is that you still can't hear the JP-only Mantis dialogue in this collection. It lets each country "make" a memory card for Mantis to read, but only the games we already had access to. So you still can't activate the Kojima easter egg by having Policenauts/Snatcher save data, because they're only listed in the JP version.

Thank you SO MUCH for making this! Glad we have a nice compilation of everything we know we are getting in this collection. I agree, this video really did need to be made. I still see people spreading the bs of "this is a subpar port of 3 games that run worse and for $60" and it has been so frustrating. Thank you again for diving into a video like this for the first time and clearing the air!

I remember going to my local video club and renting VR Missions dozens and dozens of time because it was the only one available there thinking hmg, this is so amazing, probably the greatest game ever....My surprise when I played MGS1 for the first time, couldn't believe it

While it's easy to get these on emulators it's WAY easier to get the collection. Now we're going to have the game on all modern platforms. Looking forward to it!

Is the frame-rate on switch gonna make the experience a bit bad?

The hope the russian guy that did SOS mod of mgs2 will mod mgs2 hd collection

im saying it now. The VR missions are the ones that makes me play the game longer. I dont settle for 2nd place or 3rd place. I always aim at 1st place on that game way back. Im so addicted to that game that I bought the PSone console with the small monitor and just the game disc and 1 memory card. When I play a different game, I use my ps1 normal box

This is like a $30 collection w/o delta.. they didn’t even give options for higher resolution or widescreen support like has already been done on pc.. they even lied as msg 3 is locked to 720p and not 1080p… on pc ffs.

Is the pc version will have keyboard mouse support?

They should have use the HD remake versions of the games. And say what you want but I'll take Twin Snakes over the original MGS1 any day. People like to say "oh over the top cut scenes that stuff isn't even possible." Have they even played the game or do you just want to complain? You got 3 cyborg ninjas throughout the series (Fox, Olga, and Raiden) Metal Gear is a giant robot Psycho Mantis is a flying psychic man who makes you plug your control into the 2nd player slot Snake regularly battles Metal Gear, A GIANT ROBOT, on foot with a rocket launcher. There's a god damn vampire in 2. Fortune redirects bullets with her bare hands. Yeah, she had that piece of technology, but when Ocelot launched Ray's whole payload at them she did it herself. Don't step to me about over the top. The whole series is ridiculous and that's why people love it. Twin Snakes gets unjust hate despite being an actual good remake.

When they will add the twin snakes version?

Ah this brings back memories of those damn grenade missions. The last of which was the hardest to get that #1 rank. This was all on the original PSX, so loooong before tophies were a thing. I have to admit, im not yet convinced to get this collection. I already have all of them, i still ahve my PS2 with emotion enginge connected and i still play MGO2 on my ps3 to this day. I already own the HD collection, so what else is there to bring me back. Other than the desire to replay the classics

It's just a shame it doesn't have the Substance/Subsistence bonus content 12:24 then just use them anyway, who's gonna sue you? God i hate copyright law

Thank You so much for this video!!!

My highest wish about these master collection. please give back the secret theater mode in mgs3.

I'm trying to decide if it's worth it buying the collection. I currently own the HD Collection on my Series through back compatibility. That collection is MGS 2 & 3 along with Peace Walker. If the Master Collection, it would be on my PS5

This is proof of how no matter how much you think you make good decisions-your still bound to make bad ones. I like these games so much-I'm willing to give them money to play these on my switch, of all things.

7:30 am i able to play the MGS 1 English Dub version with German subtitles? If yes, that would be so good 🙏

I'm wondering if there's a texture filtering option for MGS1?

Locking music behind a preorder bonus is lame 😢

Okay, NOW I'm convinced.

Is it worth buying for the Nintendo switch? 👀

I used to play almost every metal gear and metal gear solid game as a kid. I hope that my experiences go well. My expectations arent too high but i would prefer the most original as possible.

A lot when in to this collection will get it when i can regardless if i have most of the games on my PS vita including acid 1,2 the additional features definitely make this a must buy, and im hoping they somehow add acid and revengence to vol.2 and also knowing Konami no mention of kojima on credits.

I don’t care I’m getting for the switch I can finally play it to go now

The only thing you never said anything about it if we can stream it or not. Konami has blocked streaming of the hd version on console as well as silent hill. It’s not worth anything to me if I can’t share my experience with my viewers.

Tha Collection is very cool and all, but i miss Peace Walker and Portable Ops too

It's not ever gonna be native 1080p but upscaled 😂 I will maybe buy it later when it's cheaper.

I wish they included the PS1 and Twin Snakes in this. Oh well. I'm too much of an idiot to resist buying this despite my hatred for Konami.

Really concerned about how they will handle upscaling MGS1. In the videos I’ve seen with people with the leaked game it looks like a bilinear upscale which sucks. There should be an option for a sharp pixel upscale, and even better an option for CRT filters. Have a feeling playing this on a mister or real hardware + retrotink will still be the superior way to play MGS1

Thank God for being able to change the playback speed. 🙌

What about MGS2 Substance, and MGS3 Subsistence? 🤔

Update: It's playable on PC. I've only played MGS1 and MGSV. The PS1 was a birthday gift from a relative, and my parents thought a console would be too big a distraction through school, so naturally I've just been a heavy PC user. All the ones in between, I entirely enjoyed them by watching someone else's playthrough of them. That's why this release is a big deal to me. Console controllers are slightly less foreign feeling to me now since getting a Steam Deck this summer. There's been so much pessimism about this, and I've been looking into the decision to just get the Legacy collection with either an external USB blu ray drive for PC or a PS3 console. I even had a dream yesterday about trying to play the master collection on my Steam Deck, and rushing to refund it. Not sure why I felt like I was running out of time to get the legacy collection, but I'll just patiently wait another 2 days for this.

I was drawn into the MGS series via PS1 Emulation, I did play MGS2's PC Port, but found it to be quite awful. With the Master Collection, I'll be able to play MGS1/2 and for the first time, I'll be able to play MGS3 post the Sokolov Scene.

Legacy collection is still better and cheaper if you have a ps3

Excellent video, thank you lots! It really shows you are a hardcore fan and wants everyone to enjoy the series :")

Ah, yes, exclusive digital tracks which will be on youtube before release lol

finally one get it right and not talking along others mouth for false Information and rant all day. one could asume , bad press more clicks for the algorythm.... thank you and have a great day❤️

This video didn't age well.

TLDR: I feel scammed that they porting it seemingly with effort charging 60 bucks + explaining why i feel this way To be honest I'm quite skeptical they doesn't seem to care at all for those masterpieces i mean they did the bare minimum to not take real effort yea you get a lot of bonus stuff but things like 30fps720p on switch a console that has around 2.5x processor power compared to ps3 For the mouse n keyboard stuff this came up after the big backlash not a first thought intention by konami as it seems Also i criticize the 1080p decision on potent hardware like ps5 i don't know if it work's with upscaled 4k stuff etc. Etc. I feel like its a good decision to give mgs some spotlight back don't get me wrong I'm just overly critical about the approach how disrespectful konami treats customers and how little of a standard people nowadays have and i hope those games are relatively modable on pc that the community can fix it and we all get what we deserve...a finished product that isn't just ported with as little effort as possible to make a good profit off of fans and critical praise.

Only thing I want to know is if MGS framerate is uncapped from 30 to 60.

I already have the ps3 HD edition with the art book but it will be so nice to have this on Steam. I just hope Konami doesn't censor them.

In terms of resolution, you mention that MGS1, 2 and 3 will run at 1080p. This is not really true. MGS1 will run at the games original resolution (240p) upconverted (stretched) to 1080p. The same is true for 2 and 3, which will run at 720p, upconverted to 1080p. Non of the games will actually run at true 1080p, according to Konami on the official page. This has been confirmed by Digital Foundry, who played the games at gamescom.
