Well, Steam reviews has it as Very Positive (81%) atm. That's not so bad, even at that price point. After reading this, I expected reviews to be much lower.

I'm not buying it strictly because I can't support Konami firing Kojima from their team and then trying to parade the corpse of his projects around to get more free money. It stinks of the same bullshit that Disco Elysium does where no matter how good the game is, it is an objectively moral choice to pirate it instead of paying the publishers for it.

Why is a redux 80 euro?

So they're charging the eyes off people's faces for the same old game with a high-res texture mod and DLSS support. Yes, AAA gaming is well and truly dead.

Why the article only speaks about the game graphics? I mean 80 dollars is a shame, and not even for 1 dollar I would ever pay any money to Konami after what they did with Kojima. But the article doesn't say me nothing about the game itself.

FYI: Konami has not delisted [Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.1](https://store.steampowered.com/sub/886315/) which contains the first three MGS games. Regular price is lower than Delta's and currently even 25% off on Fanatical: https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/metal-gear-solid-master-collection-vol-1

I picked it up yesterday, and have only played a few hours, but it's pretty fucking cool so far imo. I never played the original though, only MGS 1 and 2.

It's a very faithful remake of MGS3. You can play with classic controls or modern controls. If you play with the classic controls, it's basically the same game, plus a few new collectibles. The new controls come with a modern camera system and some balance changes to accommodate the increased player freedom (the tranq gun has bullet drop in this mode, for example). You can change between control modes during the game, but doing so will reload your last checkpoint. So it's good, because MGS3 was good, but it's not $80 good. And like the article says, at $80 for what is mostly a graphical upgrade you would expect to get all the bells and whistles... but some of them are conspicuously missing.

Thebaeticle says this is basically the old game ("lehacy code") with a graphical upgrade. Not even known bugs were fixed. This means you're supposed to pay €80 for just the graphics, pretty much. And they're not even that good.

This is for newgen gamers though, isn't it? Konami is probably banking on them seeing this as a "new game" because it's novel for them, and paying the "new game" price. Unless the oldheads really want to see Ocelot meow in HD...

They should be fucking embarassed for trying to make money off of MGS after how they fucked my boi Hideo

I have played every release of this game out there. I even played it on Vita. I played the original around when it released. I even saw the Master Collection issues and dealt with that. This is a pretty damn good release. I'm having a lot of fun. I mean I pre-ordered the game at a discount too like you can for a lot of games though. For what it is, they did a pretty fuckig good job and I've been having a blast. There are some downsides, but nothing dealbreaking, and it's not an embarrassment. As a massive fan of the series, I will note there are insane nuances that we're kept intact that blow me away. They also said they HAD to improve this release over the buggy release the Master Collcetion was. They did that. Its been mostly pretty smooth. Minor tinkering to get the graphics dialed in on Linux with proton GE, but aside from that. It's been great. I wish they'd not used UE5, but it is what it is and they did decent with it. The Master Collcetion support also suggests this will only improve with support.

Subsistence release: "ermahgerd garbage, go play original." HD collection release: "ermahgerd garbage, go play subsistence." Master collection release: "ermahgerd garbage, go play HD." Delta release: "ermahgerd garbage, go play master collection." ----- To be fair, the first one I'm assuming. But the HD and Master Collection bitching I personally watched go down. Gamers are never happy and it's always sliding. Delta will be seen as wonderful by the time the next whatever is released.

It was worth it.

Ocelot meows in HD, but at the cost of bad framepacing and an inconsistent framerate.
