Just use duckstation to emulate MGS1. You can have the original 320p image if you want, or use the wide-screen hack, perspective correction (no warping polys) and texture packs for a more modern experience. Why people pay for these half arsed shitty emulation collections is beyond me.
That reminds me of when the GTA remaster collection came out and Rockstar had to delist the original (and I think they might have started C&D’ing some of the mod developers too).
At the end of the day, a direct port (or a cheap AI upscale in GTA’s case) does not have a lot of value add. This is especially the case when classic consoles (and the Nintendo Switch) can be emulated at an even higher resolution than native.
I understand why developers don’t want to actually remaster the game (or remake it, if they want to get really intense). It’s a lot more resource intensive, and it’s not a good guarantee of return on investment. Plus, most people who would buy a remaster would probably buy a straight port, too; so there’s really no financial incentive.
But having said all that, I simply don’t have much interest in playing direct ports. As far as I can tell, they’re really only useful if you don’t feel like doing the requisite tinkering to get an emulator working; but as you said, you’d probably still have better results on the emulator if you’re willing to put in the work.
Also to mention is the Switch's true selling point, the portability. I can emulate whatever I want looking however I want on a PC, but not only is that more work, but I'm then chained to my PC, and I'm not some rich person who can responsibly budget to have a PC, Switch, and a Steam Deck on top of it.
I would have begrudgingly bought it if there was steam cloud saves just so I could easily swap between my deck and PC but it doesn’t look like that’s listed on the steam page. : /
Ha they can fuck right off with that shit. Once again using emulation is so much superior to the lackluster half-assed bullshit these publishers shit out… And yet people will buy it because people just buy anything these days.
