Sounds like my Steam Deck is gonna have an easier time running some games.

Colour me wholeheartedly unsurprised. Konami is just trying to cash in on the dying popularity of the franchise and at the same time making sure nobody ever wants another MGS title ever again.

As I said previously, I wouldn't be surprised if they wrapped up a set of emulators and tried to sneak around doing the actual work.

I'm cautiously optimistic for MGS Delta(metal gear solid triangle tee hee), but at this point it's likely I wouldn't give them any more of my money even if it was a huge success.

I just don't have any faith in them as a game company anymore.

I'll be getting a second Deck at some point. Maybe I'll get a friend to 3D print a rig to hold them together for DS games.

Quoting: ArehandoroMetal Gear Solid 3 has never been available on PC. There is also a remake on the making for Metal Gear Solid 3 (perhaps not the remake people wanted), and there are rumours that is only the first of the main trilogy because it makes sense chronologically. The code in the Konami's website apparently* shows that there will also be a Master Collection 2 including the never released on PC MGS4.

3 on PC will be interesting, but it depends entirely on how they manage it. I just don't see the effort going into it based on the video. I've gotten hyped up for other game ports before and been completely deflated when the finished product barely runs at all on high end hardware, or fails to be any better than a basic emulator.

Quoting: ArehandoroLast, but not least, I'm always puzzled with the community expecting some remakes, and giving more importance to them that to new titles, like if was the only way for them to enjoy a game. Let's not allow companies dictate when is good to replay a game :(

I'm entitled to my own opinion, but I know for a fact that a large portion of the MGS fandom would love a well made remake of MGS with modern sensibilities, moreso now that Capcom is making their old games into modern hits. I spent 80 hours in RE4R and can easily see myself doing the same in a similar MGS remake.

Also, a lot of the "get it working" re-releases of classic games have been full of issues, performance being a big one. I'm just hoping they actually do the work to make it a more enjoyable experience than running the game in an emulator. There are unofficial HD texture packs coming out for a lot of these games.

I was excited when I heard the rumours, but I'm concerned that this is just a re-release of the same content already available on PC. I think a lot of us have been looking forward to a MGS remake for a long time and Konami doesn't seem to be willing to do anything about it. At this point I'm concerned this won't be just a set of emulators with locked down settings providing a worse overall experience.

I remember when this game was in alpha. Hard to believe it's been over 10 years since the Kickstarter. Perhaps I'll pick it up again.

I've got three original Steam Controllers as well. Managed to get a friend in the states to pick up two and ship them up to Canuckistan for me. Cost many Kopeks, but it was worth it. One controller is beginning to wear out, so hopefully this means the other two will last until the new revision comes out.

Personally I hope v2 is just the Deck controls without the screen.

I wonder if they'll offer different colours. It's a long shot, but I'm hoping for cyan and sparkly like the Pokemon Crystal case.
