This seems to work better on MGS3 atm.

MGS2 still has some UI issues, but this is great progress.

Ty modding community <3

Let's make this games even better!

It already works in 2k, 4k etc. The game automatically upscales to whatever resolution your monitor is at.

Should've seen how bad the game looked when I had it set to 1080p, then I selected 4k and it looked 10x better.

No it doesn't, where are you weirdos always coming from? 😂
This is obviously running in 720p, you can even see that.

I read yesterday that this patch has some issues with MGS2's UI? I assume that is still the case? If so, I hope we get a fix in the next day or two - that would be amazing.

And if we can get literally anything to improve MGS1 - jackpot.

Don't hold your breath on MGS1. Its literally an emulation.

Looks like 720p to me. Count the pixels.

You guys are just looking for something to b!tch about, jeez . If you check the file of the actual recording it says it's recorded in 4k resolution under the properties menu.

If you even watch the video on youtube it says 4k is the top video option.

Just because youtube says it's 4k, doesn't mean it is in 4k. It's very easy to fool.

yes, i was a little surprised, thats all

Alright and Installed the mod and looked over some video from both the way I upscaled it, and the mod upscaling method and I can conclusively say by watching the videos side by the side the graphics look the exact same. The only difference is my health and stamina bars are much smaller with the mod method. But watching myself run around tanker in the start of the game, the rain effects look the same, the chains on the deck of the ship look the same, the resolution of the signs of the doors leading inside the ship are the same. It just PC Elitist fanboys busting balls because the game doens't look good BECAUSE IT HAS 720P TEXTURES. Get over it.

THERE. IS. NO DIFFERENCE.

You are wrong. Stop spreading misinformation.

Here are 720p and 1440p screenshot comparisons

Clearly there is a difference with clarity alone. Snake's Suit, the textures on the tanks, stairs, radar, footprints and jaggeys especially.

The game actually scales textures well unfortunately the game just lacks easier access to other graphical options beyond resolution scaling, fullscreen/windowed toggle and Anisotropic Filtering and Sharpening.

Here's a simple Contrast and Sharpness tweak I have made from ReShade which adds much more to playing on high res:

Also its worth noting Post processing effects or anything related to framebuffer effects (motion blur and Depth of Field) doesn't scale well when you go higher than 1440p

The overall sharpness and internal resolution says otherwise, unless you mean counting the pixels of the textures? The whole point is getting better aliasing/sharpness on the image. We will have to wait quite awhile to get modders to work on overhauling the actual framebuffer/texture resolutions.

MGS2 and MGS3 support native ultrawide resolution. I couldn't tell you if the resolution itself is at a 720p height or just the textures, or not, but both of these games absolutely 100% adapt the screen resolution, without stretching, to 21:9 ratio, near flawlessly.
