Thanks to the newly released Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol 2, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is finally playable outside the PS3. To be honest, this is a day I never thought would happen, given how difficult it is to port PS3 games because of that system’s infamous Cell architecture. I gained some hope when Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 arrived, and now that glint of hope has become reality.
I bought my original PS3 in early 2008, anticipating Metal Gear Solid 4’s launch. I was already a huge fan of the franchise, with Metal Gear Solid 3 being my favorite game of all time. The iconic E3 2007 trailer and other pre-launch previews only whetted my appetite for MGS4. The final product exceeded my expectations and became my obsession that summer. So you can understand how excited I am to finally play it on modern hardware.
