The Future of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection

Konami has acknowledged the rocky launch of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection and is determined to ensure that the upcoming Vol. 2 release goes much smoother. The first collection faced criticism for its lack of graphics and control options, as well as technical issues across all platforms. Fans were left disappointed, but Konami’s production producer, Noriaki Okamura, has confirmed that a follow-up collection is in the works. He expressed the company’s commitment to learning from past mistakes and improving the overall experience for players.

Upcoming Content

While the specific games included in Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 have not been officially announced, there are strong indications that Metal Gear Solid 4 will finally make its appearance after being confined to the PS3 for 18 years. Additionally, Okamura hinted at a potential remake of Metal Gear Solid 3, stating that it is already playable from start to finish. He reassured fans that the release date for these new additions will not be far off, promising that it won’t be “years and years” away.

Staying Faithful to the Franchise

Konami’s approach to the future of the Metal Gear Solid series involves maintaining a level of faithfulness to the original games. Okamura mentioned that the company aims for Metal Gear Solid Delta to be “almost too faithful” to the source material, emphasizing a dedication to preserving the essence of the franchise. Notably, there was a deliberate decision to not label the upcoming content as “a Hideo Kojima game,” signaling a shift in direction while still honoring the legacy of the series.

Konami is actively working towards redeeming the reputation of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection with the development of Vol. 2. By addressing the issues that plagued the initial release and focusing on delivering quality content for fans, the company demonstrates a commitment to upholding the legacy of the beloved franchise. As new updates and announcements emerge, players can look forward to a more polished and engaging Metal Gear Solid experience in the future.
