6 iconic scenes removed from this collection

[Squirtle®]

Apparently someone mentioned 6 iconic scenes were removed from the collection because the studios were shut down before this master collection released and Konami did not want to face any legal battles.

Does anyone know which scenes are the ones cut out?

Scenes? Huh?

IIRC the scenes were real-life-footage. I.E. that stock footage you sometimes see in cutscenes. (rockets blasting off, soldiers marching, etc.)

They were supposedly replaced with similar but different footage. I.E. different footage of rockets blasting off, different footage of soldiers marching, etc.

No dialogue or actual story scenes were cut, just some stock footage was changed.

I remember when footage first leaked I kept trying to see what was replaced and couldn't find any. Kept thinking "That seems different", went and looked up a long-play of MGS1 and nah it's the same footage.

I'm curious if anyone can actually nail down what was changed.

What Iconic? it's just historical footage that they couldn't re license because the companies that owned them don't exist anymore so they technically can't.

Does anyone know which specific game the scenes were cut from and maybe which specific scenes they were?

I can't believe they removed the scene where Eva plays with your naked snake.

What about when Volgin squeezes your hog? Please tell me they didn't remove that

Typical excuses by billion dollar companies, they could've found a way.

True. When a company says they couldn't acquire a licence, it means "We did not want to pay for it, end of discussion."

9 times out of 10 this is absolutely true. The budget of this "collection" was minuscule, and the end result is beyond pathetic and embarrassing.

When you launch the game it tells you.

Must have missed that part all i saw was the trigger warning telling me that visible female cleavage is an outdated concept.

They said the companies that owned the footage don't exist anymore so they literally couldn't relicense the footage.

It had nothing to do with not being able to throw money at it. If that were the case all the footage would have been replaced instead of specific ones.
