Do they really need to though? What else will it include Metal gear survive?

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.

I spent some time playing it mgs4 on SteamDeck and kind of surprised they left all Apple related images including the iPod lol.

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".

Well the game included improved resolutions, better frame rate and customized controls some recoding did have to be done in that aspect. What I'm saying is Konami more than likely had the raw data from the original times it was being developed from a PC to a ps3. So comparing an emulator to an actual dev studio is apples and oranges the improvement rpsc3 made for it was from the communities while Konami already had the assets needed to make a remake with less effort and had teams that knew how it worked already. Which they probably could've figured out a decade ago.

They could probably easily remake mgs1 the same way considering they have the blueprints and experienced team.

And let me say this:

Things like this is exactly why game preservation is important despite all these companies’ best efforts including the ESA to shut it down.

If games were preserved like film has in the past forty years, then it’d be easy to reverse engineer or make newer versions of older games.

I was looking up their networth out of curiosity $18.91 billion USD is crazy for a dev studio. Alot don't know but they also have a big steak in casino machines as well so that generates revenue for them besides a mgs remake it would be nothing for them.
