Metal Gear/ Metal Gear Solid

I'm more into this idea.

Given how messed Vemon's memories were and the layers of deception going on, his fate could easily be retconed. Perhaps Amanda could've retrieved him but his mind never really recovered and he eventually worked for the og Big Boss and became a cyborg?

Near as I can tell based on the non-Nintendo Direct trailer, the NES games are also coming to the PS5, Xbox Series, and Steam versions of the Master Collection.

EDIT: Also, Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions is another included bonus. I don't think I saw anyone mention that here.

Chico was such a load, Amanda was happy to have him gone.

Pretty fucked. But if Chico didn’t get the hots for a known traitor and tried to infiltrate a black site, a lot of things would not have been as fucked as they are now.

Ive been looking at the physical copy for the Master Collection and I thinK I found the biggest hiccup against it. Apparently, there is some bloated gigabyte space that would never fit at all to the NS cartridge at least. The data are said to exceed to be more than 50 gigs in total, with 30 just being dedicated to the motion comics. I lost my mind reading that on Konami's website because that is complete nonsense.

Granted, I hold out giant hope since it says at the bottom, the dataspace wont be finalized until September which is a few ways off. They can hopefully condense it to be something way more reasonable.

For that kind of space, I'd expect high-res manual scans and concept art folders for all the games too.

Snake's Revenge being included is really cool because if that's getting in collections than stuff like Portable Ops and Ghost Babel's on the table for volume 2; maybe even the Acid titles too.

So, I have thought of what games could come to future volumes:

Volume 2 would likely contain IV, Ac!d games, Portable Ops, Ghost Babel, maybe Peace Walker and hopefully Twin Snakes

Volume 3 would definitely have PW if it isn’t in Volume 2, and would also have Rising, Ground Zeroes, and Phantom Pain.

and : I'd be amazed if Konami even acknowledged Ghost Babel (almost typed "Ghost Bagel" for some reason), the Ac!d games, Portable Ops, or Twin Snakes, let alone included them in the collections.

But then, I'm amazed they're including Snake's Revenge now, so maybe I should expect at least some of them to make it in (Twin Snakes seems the most longshot-y of the bunch, what with having to navigate the tangled web of legal ownership between Konami, Nintendo, and the long-defunct Silicon Knights; maybe it could end up Switch-exclusive?).

I feel like Volume 2 will be just Peace Walker, 4, Revengeance, Ground Zeroes, and 5.

I have a feeling they will put Ghost Babel. Something to compensate for the lack of the MSX and NES games on Vol 2

But you know what’d be awesome inclusions? Metal Gear Solid Mobile and Metal Gear Touch reworked for modern hardware. I will shake Konami’s hands if they decided to do that.

So, I just ordered a copy of Twin Snakes.

That's the first version of the game I played, but now I can't stop laughing at the Matrix style cutscenes.

Granted, Snake is supposed to be a super soldier but some of these were pretty silly.

Not as silly as Big Boss straight up stopping something from crushing him in Peace Walker

I buy Big Boss doing that.

Everyone doing crazy Matrix style moves is where I draw the line.

I can't tell if you're joking or not.

I'm serious.

Like there's just something so silly about the Twin Snakes cutscenes that I can't take seriously, compared to shit in Peace Walker.

Though, I DO like the redubbed Audio and graphics.

I'd say Twin Snakes is worth a purchase despite me mocking it.

Twin Snakes, even though I haven’t played it, tends to be underappreciated.

I rather like Twin Snakes myself but the cutscenes do feel ridiculous

My favorite is when a guard cracks Snake in the back of the head, and Snake turns around ticked off before losing consciousness.

I remember in that same scene, Snake put his gun n the ground, and kicks it over to a guard, and then that guard kicks it to another guard, so he can kick it away. I know some of the cut-scenes are over the top, but I do like the ones showing off what the cyborg ninja is capable of.

apparently they also removed the gore from the corridor scene

Did the experienced soldiers stare dumbfounded at the laser sight for quite that long in the original cutscenes?

I always thought they immediately knew what the dot meant, and also knew that there wasn't anything they could do about it. That's the most charitable reading of that event.

A video retrospective of the original MGS put forth the fan theory that Twin Snakes is Otacon telling Sunny the story of Shadow Moses. Since he has such a big hero worship of Snake he makes Snake out to be even more awesome, while the fight with Grey Fox is a lot more believable because it was the one he was actually present for.

So my copy of Twin Snakes arrived and the labels for the discs are cracked.

From what I’ve been told on Reddit, Twin Snakes has an issue where the labels on the discs are prone to cracking because of disc rot. Allegedly it doesn’t affect gameplay as GCN discs store the data in the center of the disc, not on the label side.

Was Raiden the greatest trick Kojima ever pulled or Did the Fandom construct a "convenient truth"
