Tfw I just bought the NTSC version of MGS1

The PAL version is running at a higher resolution, so I don't think it has the classic aspect ratio issue of that era, so in that sense it is optimized. But it is still running at a slower speed and framerate.

This is the only bad thing about being a eurocuck. Fuck pal

What I really wanna know is why when they launched the PSN store, they chose to keep these terrible PAL versions of game, or even worse force Europeans to continue playing these inferior versions of classic games.

To get MGS1 I had to make a US PSN account, I had to buy PSN Gift Cards from g2a and only then could I purchase the game. Fucking just let users play whichever version of it that they want.

Don’t like the autism?

Crazy how much better it feels to play.

Lets make it political somehow.

I hope we'll get a proper MGS1 remake someday.

I don't. It can't be remade without being ruined. TTS proved that, the tranq trivialized most of the game, and imagine if they gave the player TPP tier mechanics? it would be a complete joke.
If they remade it with the same exact mechanics of the original, only made it more fluid then yeah maybe. But no team is ever going to do that.

The mystery continues.

MGS1? What they need to do is remake Metal Gear 1 and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake.

Why couldn’t Konami have given the reigns to Fukushima after Kojima left?

yeah but the PAL version gets the french dub

>tfw I bought SPECIAL MISSIONS last year and played to 80% completion
>now bought the superior NTSC version but the game save doesn't transfer over
I'll never unlock Gray Fox now.

Because Fukushima was killed by the yakuza.

You know what you must do.

Dude, as much fun as some of those VR missions are (and a lot of them really are fantastic) I don't know if I have it in me to do all of that again.

complete bullshit. that's part of the point. bb corps don't really have backstories, game characters don't have history, it's an illusion, that's why the games toy with history so much or dispense with it entirely.

and actually, yes nanomachines are a similar concept to midichlorians, in that midichlorians are not truly representative of the force but of a pseudo-force that deceives the jedi into thinking they and their flawed order wield the force above others, accounting for the arrogance and oversight that leads to their downfall.

same with the nanomachines, they represent a false idea of authority, that of liquid's, as liquid is just an entity of the game rather than the actual player entity, which he believe he is, resulting in a proxy war via nanomachines, a numerical pseudo control that isn't real in the context of the game's programming but only liquid believes is real.

it's the reason that snake "ages" so rapidly in mgs4, even when a game character cannot truly age, it is an illusion, the nanomachines are delusion, like a veil within a veil.

why did they think changing the OST was a good idea?

but all as part of the game's self telling story.

mgs4 is the same idea as the others, no different, nanomachines are not literal, people make the distinction that mgs4 goes against the surreal nature of the previous games, it does not, the metaphor is alive.

TTS really isn't all that bad if you kind of embrace it as its own little thing. It is no substitute for the original and should not be seen as such. But if you want a little variety it's fine. It has its moments.

I'll always pick MGS1 over it, but as its own thing, you can have fun with it.

on topic, does anyone know if it's possible to play substance on pc.

I think it is, but you're better off emulating the game than playing the pc version.

Cause techno was the bomb

>1998 was 37 years ago

Considering buying this version, do these ps1 classics ever go on sale?

We don't need remakes of either. It's a shitty idea.

no it wasn't, it was twenty years ago. learn to count you innumerate.

No it wasn't.

>Not the PAL version

But how will you beat the game without the PAL Key Cards?

There (are)* no NTSC Key Cards in this game.

*is

To answer the question you asked in your old thread before it got archived, yes it's quite normal to be able to play US games on your UK account. There's no region locking or compatibility issues with the PSone Classics that I know of, although there are some weird glitches with the disc versions on a couple of games.

Anyway, glad you finally got to play the game as intended. No go play everything else you were subjected to the shit version of as a PAL gamer and see the blinding light of NTSC goodness.

I never knew about this

Me neither for the longest time. Finally took the plunge and bought the NTSC version and the difference is massive. The PAL version always felt sluggish to me and now I know why, because the thing fucking plays in slow motion.

Anyone has a link to that "corrected and fixed" MGS1 PC version that works flawlessly on modern PCs?

Thanks for letting me know, mate.

If you're in Britain you're still lucky.
MGS came out at a time when they first decided a dub for bigger European countries was worth it, but not actually spent enough money for a good one.

Spoonfeeding?

Colonel, what's a reddit post doing here?

I have no idea, but now is your best chance to play the game on new machines.

I would be all over this if it let me turn off texture filtering. I hate the smudged look of MGS on PC.

You can't just put that in your gay infographic and not elaborate on it

PCSXR-PGXP is your option then.

I don't have to use my Voodoo SLi in this game anymore with this patch so that's a win, but the pixelated graphics on the PS1 fits this game really well.
I love how dark the game looks with pixels compared to filtered.

Probably because Fukushima was just a co-writer that scripted the codec/radio and helped do research. He is not a game designer or a game director. He also doesn't work at Konami anymore.

As far as I know, there isn't enough evidence to say that Fukushima only worked on the codec/radio, he could have been working along side Kojima in writing the entire story besides codec calls.

>PCSXR-PGXP
is that the version that also adds Z-Buffer to eliminate/alleviate the polygon fucked up perspective and shakyness in PS1 games?

why go through all that work if you're not going to proper list the titles somewhere in the image? A newcomer won't see that that's Portable Ops in secondary canon because the downscaling has raped the artwork, which btw isn't even the cover of the game, which btw none of them seem to be, they're just random artworks plucked from a collection of Yoji stuff, terrible.
what is the point of this fucking image? how is this going to help anybody?

I don't see the difference. For real.
Maybe I'm just retarded.

Peace Walker contradicts Portable Ops all over the place. Ghost Babel completely contradicts the entire series. It's an alternative sequel to MG1.
>But Ghost Babel reveals it's all VR!
No, it doesn't. If you complete all the special missions it references a "Jack" (probably a hint at MGS2) and tells you that you're more capable than Snake was during the time of Galuade's fall (that is, the events of Ghost Babel).

Turns up your speakers and listen to the audio. Surely you'll be able to hear that the PAL version runs at a slower speed.

Hmm..

MMm....

Oh..

Yes.

got any mgs1 screenshots of this in effect?

>tfw you are actually right.
JESUS.

Sadly not.

But I felt the urge to play some, but it's almost midnight here so that's not gonna happen, even though MGS in the middle of the night is the perfect setting for it.

He probably had some influence on the plotting too, given that (naturally) much of the codec is going to reflect or revolve around the main story and Kojima was receptive to outside input from his team. (And, after all, Fukushima was put in charge of writing Ghost Babel.)

I do not think Fukushima's absence is why the series' story went to shit, however. I do think it's at least part of why MGS4's codec is so bare bones, though.

Are you the one who made the thread several hours ago? The answer of how it benefits me that Euros got cucked out of the good versions all these years is because fuck you. That's why.

I hope he didn't put that much work in given how wrong it is.

I feel kind of bad for yelling at him over it. I just don't understand the point of it.

Yes I am. And yeah, it sucks. Not only did every game release at a later date here back then, but we actually got inferior versions of them. Imagine playing OOT at 17 frames a second.

And yall deserve it for talking ish 24/7365BC-AD to be factually actually honest.

I'll let it slide for you though because you have the air of innocence and MGS is B&R

>I just don't understand the point of it.
To mislead people, I guess.

It's not a misleading image, the image is "correct" it's just poorly communicated and not helpful to people that have no idea what any of the games are.

>the image is "correct"
But it isn't. Peace Walker severely contradicts Portable Ops. Ghost Babel is not canon at all; it's an alternative sequel to Metal Gear 1 in a timeline where MG2 and MGS1 do not happen. In that sense, it's like Snake's Revenge except not shit.

All those years you played the inferior version.

I need to get this.
