Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 1 hit almost a year ago, and it did so in a, uh, pretty lacklustre state. Konami never promised full-blown remasters—just basic ports of the OG Metal Gears alongside MGS 1 through 3—but even so, the versions of those games we got on PC still left a lot to be desired. There were missing options, muddy textures, audio glitches, and some versions of MGS 1 were straight-up undownloadable. All in all, not quite what you want for a series as well-loved as MGS.
To be fair, Konami's been banging away at those ports for a while now, and although they still aren't quite where they should be, they're doing much better than they were. For the second volume of the Master Collection (which I'm still betting will mark MGS 4's PC debut), the company says it'd like to skip that step entirely.
