I doubt it's a port of that old collections. Probably a new collection with a similar name.
That doesn't sound that surprising if true especially since these are the original PC ports with maybe some very minimal touchups.
Good observation, though I find myself even more baffled how and why they are going through the effort of extracting that from a PS2 game. Let alone not porting that version of Metal Gear 2 as well.These are absolutely the old ports.
MGS1 has the bad texture filtering of the PC port.
MGS2 is 4:3 and has the 2003 copyright date of Substance on PC.
MG1 had a 2006 copyright from the Subsistence inclusion.
The Castlevania and Contra collection is a rerelease of this ancient 2002 CD-ROM rom dump: https://castlevania.fandom.com/wiki/Konami_Collector's_Series:_Castlevania_&_Contra
those Subsistence ports were originally mobile ports of the MSX games that KojiPro oversaw.Good observation, though I find myself even more baffled how and why they are going through the effort of extracting that from a PS2 game. Let alone not porting that version of Metal Gear 2 as well.
I believe word is Sony did heavy lifting on that so Konami can't do what they want with it.If they don't want to do the work for these, at least bring Castlevania Requiem, at least that one will sell.

I see they were also available for the Wii Virtual Console in Japan only.those Subsistence ports were originally mobile ports of the MSX games that KojiPro oversaw.
the Wii virtual console emulates the MSX version of MG2, it's not the mobile (subsistence) port. but it has all the bells and whistles patched in from the mobile port with the MSX lagI see they were also available for the Wii Virtual Console in Japan only.
Rumour: Metal Gear Solid Is Getting a Full Remake, and It's a PS5 Console Exclusive

I find it crazy that a ton of studios don't go back and just dump emulated versions of their old games on Steam or something. The fact games like Symphony of the Night and Final Fantasy Tactics aren't on there is a fucking shame. And I'd honestly probably pay a good $20 a pop for them.
I played it a few years ago on a legit PSOne on a CRT. I was surprised that I still enjoyed it. I found it super easy as an adult, which was definitely not the case for 12 year old me.
I also played Mega Man Legends for the first time ever. I wound up fucking loving it, once I got over the weird controls. Gotta get to the second one one of these days.
Oh, looks like fans did all the heavy lifting so CDP and Konami can profit.Here's the fun of the MGS2 port!
I mean, it kind of is.God I hope we get to a point where the entire series is playable on PC. It would be nice to have Peacewalker also.
If that's legitimately the PC version of MGS, then I hope it's not just a direct "port" or re-release, either. The stealth camo effect is really taxing on the engine and destroys performance unless you toggle a simplified effect that just makes the "invisible" person too easy to see. Also, the FAMAS is straight-up busted during the sequence when you have to make it up the stairs in the tower in alert mode.
They're going to take his name off aren't they?
"Some Guy Productions"
Kojima Productions didn't exist until 2005, so they won't have to remove anything on these

Hideo Kojima is still in the credits and stuff in the games. They might yank his name off of the credits.
If it's not MGS4 with Metal Gear Online then garbage
with MGO2 or riot

ZOE2 mars for ps4 still had his name and the legacy collection, which still gets published, still has "a hk game" on it. so probably not removing anyone's credit.Hideo Kojima is still in the credits and stuff in the games. They might yank his name off of the credits.
It'll likely be the PS360/Vita/Nvidia Shield version of MGS2, not the PS2 version. Those versions have KojiPro branding everywhere like the later games.Kojima Productions didn't exist until 2005, so they won't have to remove anything on these
Re-package.
Do they need to take the main theme out of MGS2? I forgot what the situation was with that.
