MGS Master Collection Volume 2 PS5 Announced, Metal Gear Solid 4 Is Free of PS3 Jail

The word "collection" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

Finally after all this time.

Kept you waiting, huh?

@MrPeanutbutterz oh do bore off you miserable git

What one game? And something I’d never play from the psp and charge full price? Really
No thanks

Cool for MGS fans that never had the chance to watch MGS 4. PW never clicked. No crawling or sidling just borked the stealth too much for me.

They forgot Portable Ops for some reason. Still it is cool to revisit MGS4 and Peace Walker. Hopefully, they will rebalance Peace Walker a bit.

@Styledvinny79 it's MGS4, Peace Walker, and Ghost Babel

By the way I also love Ghost Babel, it is one of the best exclusive Gameboy Color games.

Finally MGS4 is free of it's PS3 shackles. Can't wait to revisit the game.

The Konami redemption arc is real.

That's a huge surprise! Glad to hear it.

Weird that Peace Walker is included because I remember that being included on the MGS collection back on PS3 (which didn't have MGS1 funny enough). They should've just made MGS4 Remastered its own full release imo

@Styledvinny79 It’s three games. I don’t know why they’re burying the excellent Ghost Babel like this. It’s just like how they never mention the original MSX Metal Gear games are included in most of the MGS collections.

And you really should give Peace Walker a chance if you like MGS games. It’s an exceptional one.

Peace Walker > Ground Zeroes & Phantom Pain. All day everyday

And just like that, PS3 copies of MGS4 just dropped 99% in value.

…til we find out Konami fouled up something fundamental and it runs at 20fps on PS5 Pro, or something…

Why didn't they just release it as an add on to the current collection as a separate purchase you know they will charge a out £30 for this you know that right probably more

@dskatter was never a particularly valuable game to begin with but it'll probably go down

I’d rather have the ps3 version fund my pension in 25 years. Oh well, I’ll still have my copy of The Twin Snakes and that one will probably stay in GameCube prison.

@MrPeanutbutterz how is 3 games not a collection mg4,peace walker and ghost babel.

This is absolutely enormous for me. I nearly fell off the sofa. IMO MGS4 is Kojimas masterpiece and I’ve had that disc in my PS3 for so long waiting to start my platinum run. Now I’m waiting for the PS5 version!!! Can’t believe I’m finally saying that 😆

@HammerKirby3 I wouldn’t know, I’ve never looked into it. Still have my release day copy!

@MrPeanutbutterz you are literally what is wrong with the video game community

@dskatter I got a copy like 7 years ago but I still see it at retro game stores pretty frequently

Konami you are back with one hell of bang.. you sure kept us waiting

Just missing Rising...

Maybe we'll set a side-ops collection with Rising and Acid, yet.

@belmont It will either be in Volume 3 (which will happen, because Revengeance isn't on PS5 or Switch, as is MGSV for Switch - Acid games too maybe) or it will be announced later. I don't think they revealed everything for Volume 1 all at once. Might be misremembering, but either way, Snake's Revenge came back, Portable Ops should have it's time.

I just want to play the first one again. I don’t fancy buying the bundle and so don’t feel it’s worth it. That was the best ps1 game for me

@MrPeanutbutterz bet you're fun at parties pal.

I am honestly surprised they didn't add Rising to this collection.

@Jacko11 Pardon me for having something resmbling standards.

@MrPeanutbutterz Holy ****, not sure why everyone is trying to jump you. It's a valid enough opinion.

That said, I am glad we are one step closer to the series being completely available. I might finally do a marathon of the series so I have something to compare 5 to.

Pretty exciting. I really want MGS V on PS5 too though, so maybe they're doing something separate with that. I don't really love Peace Walker that much (in fact I kind of hated parts of it), but I am happy to give it another try. MGS4 escaping PS3 is sooooo huge though. That's great.

@Orpheus79V The think is since Peace Walker is the PS3 version to have Portable Ops and Ac!d re-released Konami has to make a PSP emulator. I am not saying that they won't do it but for Symphony of the Night they used the one from Sony thus making the title a PS4 exclusive and it is still one of the few Playstation exclusives.

Still it is highly likely that there will be a 3rd collection with Rising, the V duology updated for modern platforms and, hopefully, the PSP versions.

Glad they are doing Peace Walker and MGS4.
What about releasing MGA1&2, MG Rising and MGS Portable Ops?
The first MGS Master Collection had MG1 &2, MGS, MGS2, Snake Eater and both of the digital graphic novel games in

Glad Ghost Babel was included, hope they do a PSP game collection with Portable Ops and Acid 1+2 and maybe even a Rising Port someday, though that's platinum too not just konami.

@MS7000 Haha, thanks, didn't think I'd get roasted for that comment. I've also 21 upvotes at the minute - the duality of man.

I feel like if your buddy invited you in to see their "whiskey collection" and they showed you two bottles plus a miniature, you'd probably think "oooookay". Moreso if they termed it a master collection.

I'd love to see them all in one spot. And to have a way to play MG Rising on the PS5. That's probably the main game I miss from selling my Series X.

This is a historical moment, seriously. A whole new generation will finally experience Metal Gear Solid 4. They missed the oportunity to bring Portable Ops too, it would round up the Collection nicely. PO is quite good, and would be even better with quality of life elements implemented on modern consoles.

@MrPeanutbutterz They were quite brutal here is an upvote from me making it 22 in support of your opinion and last time I looked we are all allowed to have one.

Guns of the Patriots being locked to PS3 for 18 years is absolutely absurd. I do feel as though Guns of the Patriots should've done with a remake instead of MGS3-because MGS3 has appeared on the PS2, PS3, 3DS, PS Vita, the Xbox 360, the Xbox One, Series X/S and PS5.

What canon games are left for a Vol. 3?

Portable Ops isn't canon as far as I know.

I'm not sure about the MGS Acid games or MGS Rising.

Obviously MGS V Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain.

MGS4 is about to be my GOTY
