Its great
This edition contains five games on disc. Just finished 1 and 2 for the first time! Absolute masterpieces, it’s hard to believe these games are over 20 years old they play better than most modern games. I cant wait to check out snake eater

The best console version available for these games
Konami has continually updated this collection of Metal Gear Solid games over the last year that it has been available. It was released in a disappointing state, the biggest offender was the Nintendo Switch version which I would have bought instead but all 3 games are limited to 30fps which is hard to accept when the PS2 and PS3 both ran these titles (MGS2 + MGS3) at 50-60fps. The reason why is they used Unity engine as a shell that houses the emulators running these games and the Nintendo Switch just doesn’t have the single threaded performance to run the games at 60fps. If these were native ports, it would have worked.This is why I opted for the PS5 version instead and only the first game runs at 30fps and this is because of the game’s tick rate being tied to the frame rate. The game would speed up like you were watching it at 2x speed. But MGS 2 and 2 run at a locked 60fps.If you grew up playing these masterpieces like I did, you know how influential and impressive they were back in the early 2000s. Hideo Kojima really is one of the most brilliant game developers and directors in the industry. Konami are really not smart from a business perspective to have parted ways with him. It’s sad because I would like for there to be more games in this franchise and I really don’t see how it would be possible without him. They tried it a few years ago with Metal Gear Survive and it was a critical and financial disappointment, this is because it was a multiplayer game with micro transactions and didn’t have a decent story.This collection is now to the point of being superior to the Bluepoint HD collection (of which The Master Collection is based on), thanks to numerous bugs and glitches that were never fixed in the 2013 release that Konami has repaired and improved over the last year. We will soon get update version 2.0 which brings some more big changes. The PC/Steam version of MGSMC has already received the patch in September and it’s been confirmed that PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch will all get it in the near future. Whenever it arrives, I will update my review because I want to list all of the changes as this update will be the biggest one thus far.Update- version 2.0 did drop for Xbox and PlayStation and we now get native 4k versions of MGS 2 and 3 at 60fps. Switch is of course left behind as it seems to lack the required performance necessary to run these games at 60fps (at least because of the way the ported these games using emulation inside of a Unity Engine container). The Switch could technically do it, as it’s similar in performance to Xbox 360 and PS3 but it must not be worth it for the devs to give us the option. At least 2 out of the 3 platforms are now in a respectable state.

The Best way to currently play MGS Games
I’m a huge fan of Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 and I can tell you that this is currently the best way to play and own them for a modern platform.I’ve played through MGS 1-3 as a part of this and I can say that they’ve done a fantastic job adapting the original releases with a few graphical and functional upgrades.You’re not getting ‘remakes’ here, as much as remasters (ie upscaling, modernized control and save options, etc)Some things, however, can’t be translated. You’re not going to get Psycho Mantis in MGS1 ‘reading your mind’ (ie Memory card) and talking about other games you’ve played. That’s only possible if you’re playing the original release on a PS1.

Great collection
From someone who had these games back in the day, it was amazing to go through and replay them easily all on one disc without a pixelized mess on screen.

Ps5 metal gear collection
Nice little bundle and easy to upload. Just have to have the disc ready for when you want to play it

Great nostalgia games
Plying all the games from the nes and PlayStation brought me back to childhood, except I can finish them all now, great fun
I ordered this expecting to play this amazing collection but the disc does not work. – February 28, 2025

Its PERFECT!!
This collection is exactly what I’ve been waiting for! The first and second eras in the Metal Gear & Metal Gear Solid series all in one nice “solid” package.edit: i rated this one star a few days ago because the disc wouldn’t read for me. i ordered a replacement and it came the next day and the same thing happened. so just to double check, i then took the disc and put it in my brother’s PS5, and all of the games popped right up. so basically, the problem the whole time was that my PS5’s disc drive not being able to play PS5 games. the real issue is that i don’t even know when this problem started since i’ve only been putting PS4 discs in there, while downloading ps5 games, so this is might actually be a factory defect right out of the box. i’m pissed right now since i’ve never moved it since it set it up in my living room i only bought my PS5 just 2 years ago..

This is snake
I might just be bias here so take what I say with a grain of salt, but this is one of the best collection of games ever made. You got the classic Playstation one Metal gear. The NES metal gear, but more importantly it has my personal favorite the Playstation 2 Snake eater. I’m not going to lie when I say I got it just for snake eater.If you haven’t played the older metal gear games or you haven’t played them in a while, you should pick this up. Keep in mind that this game is vol 1. So not every metal gear game will be on it. I believe they will be making a vol 2 and that should have the Playstation 3-4.

Sobre los juegos, poco que añadir que no se haya dicho ya: Metal Gear Solid es una de las mejores sagas de videojuegos de todos los tiempos.Esta reedición permite jugar a las versiones originales de varios juegos de la saga en consolas de nueva generación. Debido a que las versiones de los juegos incluidos son (casi) igual a las originales (con mínimas ediciones/mejoras), para viejos fans podría tener valor solo como artículo de colección. Pero para nuevos jugadores, será una de las mejores formas de introducirse a la saga.Mención especial a la inclusión de varios añadidos que nunca antes se habían lanzado de manera conjunta en una única edición — por ejemplo, se incluyen varias versiones de algunos de los juegos, que corresponden a ediciones especiales que en su momento se lanzaron de manera separada, y que incluyen algún contenido adicional interesante.Como puntos negativos:— Aparentemente, esta colección en su lanzamiento tenía varios bugs. En el momento que escribo esta reseña (agosto 2024), se puede descargar un parche que soluciona la mayoría de problemas (solo he encontrado un pequeño bug, y realmente no afecta en nada a los juegos)— Algún contenido del juego (como manuales y las carátulas originales de los juegos) no está incluido en el disco (ni se puede descargar), y requiere conexión a internet para consultarse. No es un problema muy grave, pero sorprende que contenido tan simple no esté incluido y/o disponible para descarga (en especial considerando que las carátulas tienen cierta importancia en un par de los juegos). También hay algún otro contenido (idiomas adicionales) no incluido en el disco, pero que sí está disponible como descarga gratuita.— Por alguna razón, para poder jugar (no recuerdo si todos, o solo en alguno de los juegos), es obligatorio aceptar “los términos de servicio” — si los rechazas, no se te permite avanzar al juego (en su lugar, la animación de inicio se reinicia, y se te ofrece de nueva cuenta la opción de que los leas y aceptes), lo cual no ocurría en los juegos originales. Encima, me parece que esta acción requiere conexión a internet (no estoy seguro de que así sea, pero me pareció que los términos se abrieron en el navegador de la consola, y el botón de “aceptar” se habilita hasta después de abrirlos y leerlos). Esto podría afectar a quien no tenga su consola conectada a internet.Si bien no me gusta encontrar estos problemas (por muy “pequeños” que sean), soy consciente que esto es comun en tiempos actuales, y por tanto no lo tomo en cuenta en mi calificación (en especial porque la jugabilidad y experiencia general con los juegos no se ve afectada).
