That doesn't sound that surprising if true especially since these are the original PC ports with maybe some very minimal touchups.
So Peace Walker on PC when Konami?
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.
those Subsistence ports were originally mobile ports of the MSX games that KojiPro oversaw.
I believe word is Sony did heavy lifting on that so Konami can't do what they want with it.
Aw crud, I should have just bought it when it was on sale.
I held out hoping it would be ported lol.
Great! Are these going to be available on Steam? Does anyone know?! One would assume so, but this is Konami, so...
I see they were also available for the Wii Virtual Console in Japan only.
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 lag
Rumour: Metal Gear Solid Is Getting a Full Remake, and It's a PS5 Console Exclusive

God I hope we get to a point where the entire series is playable on PC. It would be nice to have Peacewalker also.
Here's the fun of the MGS2 port!
there is a publisher that puts PS1 games in emulated containers on steam. (https://store.steampowered.com/search/?publisher=Console Classics) More publishers should do it. Just because Sony forcefully refuses to make old games available doesn't mean others can't.
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.
We should never discount emulators, even if they're not PC native. PCSX2 and RPCS3 are both capable of running MGS2, MGS3, and every PS1 emulator on Earth can handle MGS1 and the games before it. PPSSPP handles Portable Ops and PW, and PW works great on RPCS3, too. Coupled with the MGS5 native PC version, the only thing that can't be reliably played on PC is MGS4.
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.
Kojima Productions didn't exist until 2005, so they won't have to remove anything on these
Surely they have to do something to these ports if they want to charge money for them in 2020. Surely.
I'll be completely unsurprised if they don't
Who was asking for that old 2002 Contra+Castlevania NES game collection when the Anniversary Collections are newer with more games?
Rereleasing that instead of Silent Hill 2-4 (which already have PC ports) is so peak Konami.
Still bears repeating that I am still very excited that MGS1 is out of PS1 prison to be purchased in this day and age.

Hideo Kojima is still in the credits and stuff in the games. They might yank his name off of the credits.
Credits roll...
Directer: Some guy
Lead Designer: Some guy
Producer: Some guy
I doubt they're putting even that much work into these releases. These are likely just the original ports being made available digitally for the first time. Thankfully fans have fixed MGS2 over the years.
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.
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.
No. Kojima made the decision to stop using the theme on his own. There was never a legal battle or anything.
Not likely. If they were going to use those versions, MGS3 should also be here. MGS1 and 2 being the only ones rated essentially confirms that they're re-releasing the old pre-existing PC ports.
Probably not-- the main theme became an issue years prior to MGS4, and the theme was present in the MGS HD Collection, so no worries on that front! Besides, I don't believe it was ever really as big of an issue as it was an embarrassment for Kojima (and Konami, I assume).
