![]() ![]() The game seamlessly melds pure action and epic story-telling that surrounds Raiden, a child soldier transformed into a half-human, half-cyborg ninja who uses his High Frequency katana blade to cut through anything that stands in his vengeful path.Ī huge success on both Xbox 360® and PlayStation®3, METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE comes to PC with all the famed moves and action running, within a beautifully-realised HD environment. ![]() Let’s dig into the specifics on this version:ĭeveloped by Kojima Productions and PlatinumGames, METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE takes the renowned METAL GEAR franchise into exciting new territory with an all-new action experience. I reviewed it some 11 months ago on the PlayStation 3 and enjoyed it quite a bit, but this version gets a new glossy coat of paint, all of the DLC, and a few new goodies for Raiden. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance has launched on the PC today. If all you can do is trade on former glories, make those former glories available to us then leave them well alone.įingers crossed that Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Volume 1 will be on PC when it arrives this autumn.PC gamers have an awesome title to kick off the new year. Still, if they rereleased Snake Eater, Peace Walker, and maybe MGS 4 on PC in decent technical shape, that would be enough for me. Konami might say their Snake Eater remake is "a faithful recreation of the original story and game design" but why would you listen to Konami. They handed Silent Hill 2 to Bloober Team and yup, even the little we've seen of that shows it's handling subtlety as well as you'd expect from the studio behind Layers Of Fear and The Medium. Seemingly all Konami can offer are rereleases and remakes and I don't have much faith in their remakes either. While Kojima and pals went on to create their own new fun weirdness with Death Stranding, Konami's first post-Hideo Metal Gear was disappointing craft-o-survival game Metal Gear Survive. Especially not a Metal Gear game, after ditching series overlord Hideo Kojima in a very messy way. At this point, they're one of the companies who own the rights to a lot of old games people like but seem incapable of making anything that good again. It is hard for me to have much hope in anything Konami do. Though knowing Konami, I wouldn't be surprised if they immediately swerved into re-releasing the squillion little side games. Give me cheery old Big Boss and his chums larking about in their special secret clubhouse, befriending children and building a mech. Some people might hope this means a rerelease of Metal Gear Solid 4, but it's Peace Walker I really want. The Master Collection website teases that more games might follow, saying "Stay tuned for more information." And, y'know, the whole 'Volume 1' part of the name is a little hint. And Platinum's spin-off, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a near-perfect game and obviously exempt from this comparison) (Though I do have to admire the self-indulgent audacity of MGS4. ![]() But I really hope they do, because the historical Big Boss era of Metal Gear Solid is so much more interesting to me than the contemporary Solid Snake games. That might presumably make it more of an effort to bring our way. Unlike the first two, MGS3: Snake Eater was never released on PC. The babyboys in MGS2 | Image credit: Image credit: Konami My only doubt comes from Metal Gear Solid 3. And Konami have released their recent collections of old Castlevania, Contra, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, and arcade games on PC, and their upcoming Suikoden 1 & 2 remasters are coming our way too. And the Snake Eater remake is coming to PC, so the original would make sense. Konami did start selling Metal Gear Solid 1 & 2 again on PC in 2020, though they soon needed to pull MGS2 from sale due to licensing issues with historical footage in cutscenes. ![]() They don't specify which platforms (plural) those are, but I certainly hope PC is included. Konami's website say it "allows fans to play the games as they were, as first released on the latest platforms." Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Volume 1 is due to arrive this autumn, toting Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty, and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Without a trailer for the rereleases, here's the shiny new MGS3 remake Watch on YouTube ![]()
