Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 preview - Old Snake is new again
Metal Gear Solid has given us nothing for the last few years, and now it’s giving us everything all at once. You’d be forgiven for needing a minute to pick your face up off the floor.
The legendary espionage franchise has long been a staple not only of stealthy gameplay and bizarro narratives, but of gaming itself in the era of Pizza Hut demo discs and curtain-closed button-mashing marathons. The franchise’s dormancy and disconnect from Konami’s own Metal Gear weapon Hideo Kojima has left a cold cavern where there was once a thundering brain powering the adventures of Snake, no matter how solid or naked he may be. It’s been some time since we’ve taken to the tall grass, and the absence of Snake has been felt.
And now, it’s like he’s making his arrival all over again. As Konami gears up to introduce the first full MGS remake in Snake Eater, Konami has offered fans and new players alike the chance to experience the sometimes elusive, always iconic first three Metal Gear Solid games on modern hardware.
And though fans would have taken scraps, Konami has leapt through hoops to ensure the wait has been worth it.
