Out of all of the IP Konami owns the rights to, you possibly can make a robust argument that Metallic Gear Strong is its Most worthy. Which makes it all of the extra disheartening to see that the extremely anticipated Metallic Gear Strong Grasp Assortment Vol.1 seems to be a bare-bones, minimalistic job to say the least.
Sure, you’ll have the ability to play Metallic Gear Strong, Metallic Gear Strong 2 and Metallic Gear Strong 3 in your PS5, and there are many additional behind-the-scenes goodies, however nothing has been completed to those video games to make the expertise of enjoying them in 2023 any higher.
Nobody’s asking for the moon, however these ought to arguably be one of the best variations of every of those video games. Digital Foundry nevertheless sadly studies in any other case, as John Linneman calls the picture “worse” than Bluepoint’s PS3 and Xbox 360-era remasters.
Linneman additionally factors out that regardless of Konami saying in any other case, he’s straight confirmed the video games all run at 720p, not 1080p throughout all platforms.
It’s extremely disappointing to see such pinnacles of the video games trade’s historical past be actively worse to play on fashionable gadgets, particularly when there’s seemingly no purpose for it past Konami not caring to place the hassle in.
The actual kicker is that this can seemingly not likely impact recreation gross sales, as Konami can depend on the truth that if not for these new variations that Konami is charging fashionable costs for, these video games can be inaccessible to gamers sooner or later, as soon as the gadgets which may beforehand play them are solely caput.
This additionally places a darkish cloud over the potential Vol. 2 of this assortment, which is rumoured to incorporate the PS3-isolated recreation, Metallic Gear Strong 4: Sons Of The Patriots.
