Well I knew what I was buying. I want to play all the games and the graphic novel intrigued me most of all, so felt it was worth the price of admission. If I felt it was too expensive I could have waited, it's not like prices don't fall over time.
Btw, where is this bargain bin where you can find a playable version of mgs1-3 for 2 pounds? Last I checked MGS1 cost around the same as this collection, and then youd also have to buy either a ps1 or a...

Well, they could have just done basic MGS1 and basic mgs 2/3 and called it a day. Instead they took all of it and bundled it together with a couple of nice menues and some neat extras. They did a lot more than I had expected and I'm personally quite happy with this package. There's a lot to explore that I would have never explored of they hadn't made this collection.
I didn't even know Mgs Integral was a thing before now.
If you are okay with the games being what they were, it's fantastic.
I'm not sure what people expected. They said they'd rerelease the games as they were and then suddenly people are shocked that mgs 1 looks like a psx game. Personally this is exactly what I wanted, then they'll probably remake 1-2 after 3.
There's too much content and attention to detail for it to be a cash grab. A cash grab wouldn't feature MGs1 Integral and all three regional versions of MGS3. Also wouldn't come with a save game editor that let's you customize your memory card with konami saves for the psycho mantis battle.
Or master books, manuscripts and narrated graphic novels. I'm very satisfied, have never played Integral or vr missions for that matter.
Sequels that won't arrive before Fallout 5, Starfield 2 is atleast 10 year away, if not longer.
So they made sure that you would rather fasttravel than fly around, because they wanted you to build spaceships? Cool feature, but I would rather have had proper exploration.
I do think there's interest. But 100 million subscribers is a very optimistic target.
It must get a boost now that they acquired atleast 3 infinite money machines in Candy Crush, Calld of Duty Mobile and Heartstone.
Not impossible, Spencer is a big fan and the whole reason the bc program included Blue Dragon and Lost Odyseey.
Someone needs to give Mistwalker some cash.
I think it's the seemles persistent space travelling with fully modelled space interiors. They basically did what Bethesda failed to do in a AAA setting. Surprisingly enough, a lot of this seems to have made ot into Squadron 42.
Not gonna lie, I think this looks amazing. Imagine if this had been an unannounced game, people would lose their shit.
Always thought it would be a Wing Commander type game, so is a little dissapointing with all the fps stuff.
But do love the concept. It's cool that you can walk around in a huge ass spaceship in the middle of a space battle.
Given that it's feature complete, I'd assume the game would be done next year or in 2025.
Star Citizen is another deal, not expecting that one anytime soon.
Well, it's a bonus game. Star Citizen is the big one. Wondering if they include space traversal. I know it's a more linear game, so not sure of the scope.
Silent Hill HD is a baf comparison. That collection looled like ass compared to the original. Atleast MGS 1 looks as intended and mgs2 and 3 still look as good as they did in the hd collection.
Maybe it could have been better, but could also have been much much Worse. Atleast there's a ton of extra shit in thid collection, they could have easily just gone with og releases of MGS1-3 without vr missiond and Substance/Subsistence content.
But prepare to ...
Why would they include vr missions, comics and soundtracks, nes games and whatever else they added on top if they didn't care?
I think people just want to be negative. And people also forget that nlt everyone grew uå with these games. For a lot of people this will be the first chance to experience the series from the beginning.
Is it a cash grab if none of the games were available? This is a pretty sweet deals for newcomers.
I'm imagining Colony Wars where they go full Wing Commander with A-list stars and an epic storyline through an extensive series of space skirmishes.
Probably a gamepass deal. There's a lot of indie games that skips playstation for 6-8 months because of Ms deals.
I'm a big fan of psx aesthethics and I'm not alone. there's a whole indie movement dedicated to making exactly this.
But the goal of the collection is obviously to preserve the games as they were and not to change them for a modern audience. It's kinda like a MGS museum of sorts.
