Not questioning if they really need to. I'm cool with just these two, I don't need any other Metal Gear games. But you know they will.

I'd like to see a complete remaster of mgs1 with fox engine and 2026 graphics do that I'd be more comfortable with buying it.

To be fair I doubt Konami really did much different besides adding 4k texture packs to look good on today's market. I don't think it was recoded from the ground up. Which they should've ported it a decade ago.

A bunch of stuff would have had to be remade from the ground up, the game didn't even have it's own save system, it just used the PS3's own internal save system, so it couldn't save without access to the PS3's OS.

There's stuff like this all over the game, where it's using the PS3's own internal systems, so it would all need rebuilding from scratch to work elsewhere, there's stuff in the game that would only work once they put it on the PS3, regardless of the fact they were developing on PC.

This is also why the RPCS3 Devs had to put a bunch of extra effort in to the emulator specifically for MGS4, because they were having to emulate parts of the system a significant amount of other games never used.

This collection doesn't have that much in it because they definitely spent most of the time and budget getting 4 out of its ingrained PS3 prison. They've done significantly more than some "4K texture pack".
