    I actually enjoy the controls. The problem most people have is that these games are from the 2012 ports. They should have improved the graphics since they are for next gen. I have been emulating these on my series X and they look amazing. I will buy when there is a sale

    While improvements would have been nice, the set contains MG, mg2, MG nes, snakes revenge, mgs, mgs integral, vr missions, mgs2, mgs3, and 2 digital novels. That's a lot of good content for $60.
    Anybody complaining about the lack of twin snakes needs to remember that we all spent 19 years complaining about twin snakes, so of course it isn't here

    MGS1 was not intended to be played on 50" OLED screen. It is blurry mess, it is not puist it is lazy. On crt with composite cables the original looks ten times sharper. And just now I checked to be sure - i have PS3 legasy collection with exact same games + MGS4 + peace walker ion same box for less money ! WTF?

    If volume 2 includes twin snakes, MGS4, and revengence, I’d be very happy. Peace walker as well. MGS5 you can get anywhere so I don’t see a reason to add that in a collection

    For me, it's actually worth refunding the games altogether.
    What did I get for 60 EUR? Literally something that doesn't EVEN manage to run (crashes immediately).
    MGS1 - 404 Not Found (not even mentioning that the emulator sucks, that it's more worthy to get the original PSX game and play it on something like Duckstation)
    MGS2 and MGS3 - Crash right after start

    There's nothing wrong with the game. Everyone keeps talking about frames rate. Like there counting every frame rate in the game instead of enjoying the game. The game works just fine. It's not a buggy mess like gta Trilogy.

    Tldr. Get it if you dont have it on older consoles. Buy it on sale if you want but dont pass up on this collection if you have never played these games.

    well.. MGS fan fora long time (maybe even longer than you... Yes it's possible ..NES...).
    I was hype by this "compilation" on xbox (yeah I have an xbox serie X...). But I remembered that I bought, back in the days ....Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (xbox 360).
    Ok , it's 720p (but in 60Hz), you could only get MGS 1 (PSX emulation..) with a US account, but I'm not sure that Konami has done something "new" here (except the NES versions and the "encyclopedia" part of the product...).
    I'm waiting for the remaster of Tomb raider 1 2 and 3... wait, what's the connection here ? Well, Aspyr re worked the gameplay with "modern" controls. you have also upscaled / new textures. So... and it's possible on PC but Konami has absolutely NO HUMOR you can upscale textures. if you know emulation (who don't ??), you know that you can upscale the game to 4K.
    Of course it's not the same treatment as upscaling textures but the result is pretty amazing.... Here , Konami is just a lazy bastard, trying to cash easy money from fans. We don't have any good MGS anymore (or you need to love pachinko games...) and even a"re sale" is just a big joke for Konami. When someone doesn't respect you, mock you .. what is your reaction ? Turn the other cheek ?? i don't. I'm pretty mad at the MGS1 "game", MGS 2 and 3 are only re launch of the Blue Point games....
    So nothing new under the sun.. disappointment but we (xbox..) have a little chance to play MGS 4. Oh , I also have a PS4 , so i know this game ....

    In my honest opinion, how can you call yourself a MGS fan if you won’t even play the very first 2 for the NES. Im not saying you have to like it but at least play it or give it a chance. If your a fan at least play all of the games to try to understand the game. Not only that this didn’t really help me on my decision of getting the collection, specially when you admit you were gonna praise the game cause your a fan. Smh

      @@ChrisSantinoNormally, I ask how did we not get MG2, but got SR in the U.S., but then I realize that I don't think we got the MSX as a whole in the U.S.. Now, add to the fact of the Famicom's/NES' hardware limitations, I'm not sure that MG2 would have been as good on the FC/NES as it was on the MSX.
      Now, if they had released a retcon in the form of MG2 on the SNES, that would have been acceptable to me.

    If you arent a karen speedrunner just moaning about a couple frames being slightly slower or loading screens taking a nanosecond longer ect then yes its worth it! You young ones dont know how lucky you are to get to have mgs1 on the lagest consoles especially xbox. I never thought id see the day. Mgs1 and special missions alone would cost you more than £60 on ebay but add it the hd collection, readable story books based on the games, all new achievements, metal gear and snakes revenge.. its a bargain. So much great stuff to be played and enjoyed. Just remmeber, speedrunners dont play the games to enjoy the story ect so dont just take their criticism as the only ones that matter.
